Thought exactly the same after realising what they were chasing after the game last night 😂

Wonder if he’ll have more World Cup appearances than games for the Swans this year! Good quiz question following on from that… Swans players who played at the World Cup whilst on our books. Four in 2014, four in 2018 and two in 2022 from what I can find. Obviously a few in 1958 for Wales too...

Isn’t tactical voting all but impossible with the new system. It’s pretty much nailed on that reform will get at least 1 of the 6 seats in each of the 16 constituencies - the only question is going to be in how many of them they’ll get a second and third seat. Only two things will impact that...

I think that’s maybe just his natural body language as he seems to get the same criticism at Spurs. His impact on games has been extremely disappointing though (almost 50 caps?) and can understand why he was left out tonight.

A lot of that is spot on but I’m not sure about getting comprehensively beaten out there looking at lots of the teams who are going to qualify from some of the other continents. The weather will be a factor in some venues but I’d be very surprised if practically all the European teams don’t...

I’d agree with that - I wouldn’t be making knee jerk reactions after March either way though. No matter what happens in these next 3/4 games and Nations League A next Autumn I’d stick with him for the Euros we were pretty much certain to be there as hosts. I do understand the thinking behind...

I like how he conducts himself and what he’s got to say. I hope he’s not going to be too stubborn in the way he wants to play though - finding the best way to beat Macedonia in November should be his only priority between now and then. The Nations League went as well as it could have. Some...

Not really one for sentiment in football and not many players who’ve returned (in recent years) have been a success, but I’d take him on a free next summer, in part for the off field stuff in the dressing room and the fact we’ve got very few ‘local/long term’ players atm.

Great early window for Redzone this evening. Going to be some cracking finishes!

Barnsley, I think are one of them.

Good point about the situation if we win on Monday - hadn’t factored that in. 👍

Yep, that’s going to be a really difficult game in November irrespective of what happens on Monday. Even more so as it’s the only competitive game they’ve got in November and will know a draw will be good enough.

Despite what I said here, the draw tonight makes Monday very interesting (clearly we need to be far better than we have been in this qualification group). Beat North Macedonia & Liechtenstein in November and guaranteed second place. Get a win on Monday too and off to the states (would make up...

Me too 👍👍

Reality is that unless North Macedonia get a draw tonight we can’t win the group even if we beat Belgium. A good performance and ideally a draw/win is definitely needed after last night though!

Not allowed anymore unfortunately. Partly down to ourselves and other countries gaming the system (ranking points and rest before big games). Now every team has to play the same number of games in every international window. Who we play is a point for discussion (and personally I wouldn’t...

Some clubs obviously want a Super League/franchise system where they play each other all round the world. They want their cake and eat it though by also playing in a domestic league. Personally, I’d have no issues if 4/6, or however, many Premier league clubs signed up to that but I’d also...

Was always going to happen (sadly) once the American sports started playing in Europe. Interesting times ahead to see how it develops over the next 5-10 years.

Washington, since the Doug Williams Super Bowl in the late 80s 👍

I think the last part is a bit harsh (on both owners and managers - no matter how bad they’ve been). We’ve averaged 10th place in the second tier for the last 7 years and never finished in the bottom 8 so I wouldn’t say there’s even been one season where we’ve been lucky to stay up.
