    Promotion This Season ?

    Progress for me will be a comfortable place in the top ten, where through continued, positive recruitment we can build the squad into a more formidable outfit. Having said that should we end the season in a Play Off place this season, naturally we would take it over two legs and on the day it...

    The Striker Is Coming: Swansea’s Final Piece Is Within Reach

    The position of striker can be seen as the most difficult position in a team to obtain especially when finance is limited and almost every club is looking through the same data sheets, while as the window begins to close down the transfer fee, even for a loan player, begins to start rising. To...

    Marko Stamenic Set to Sign: Swans Bolster Midfield with Kiwi International

    No doubt about the fact that we are on the verge of having a team that will possess the intensity to compete for the full duration of a game. Add a goalscoring striker to the squad and cover for our full backs plus the Forest midfielder's signing being announced and we should have our strongest...

    VAR controversy thread 25/26 edition

    The Bournemouth defender didn't as much handle the ball, he actually attempted to deflect the ball, a deliberate act.

    VAR controversy thread 25/26 edition

    I find it totally unacceptable, especially with the cash involved in the Premier League that the fourth official in last night's Liverpool match was the same guy (Farai Hallam) who refereed the Boro v Swans match in what was his second season of refereeing in the EFL Championship level. Talk...

    VAR controversy thread 25/26 edition

    All I will say is that if it happened in the EFL there would have been a red card issued.

    The demise of Swansea City

    In all honesty it was even worse in 1985 when the club was closed down only to get a reprieve and rise from the ashes. The day the gates were locked, saw fans scramble down to the Vetch Field to ask each other what on earth is happening. It truly felt like a loved one had passed away.

    Kai Rhodes

    The best trip ever

    the same Reina made some fantastic saves in the second leg at Napoli. Taking heed of the problems Arsenal fans faced at Napoli in being taken to the stadium in buses we went independently to the stadium, saw no trouble and enjoyed a lovely pizza and red wine after the game in a restaurant...

    Jezza

    the bottom line is that our owners (K&L) pooped themselves and kept stoking the fire sale despite the likes of Jordan Ayew and Fernandez playing in friendly games.

    MG Welsh league cup

    What I liked about Iestyn was his ability on 2/3 occasions to drive forward in an attempt to open the opposition up instead of the safety first square pass. Still only 18 he lad is rated highly by mates who was watch the academy games regularly. Gordon Jenkins was a real gent who loved his...

    Ben Lloyd

    Surprisingly Ben played most of the game in an unfamiliar central midfield role against the EFL newcomers Barnet and although County were under pressure for most of the game Ben showed some neat touches, didn't shy away from the physical challenges, displayed good fitness levels and scored...

    Swans to confirm McBurnie signing

    Take a look back at his performances prior to his move to Sheffield United, and for me, if he can replicate that he will do ok for us. Not that long married, will he turn out to be a more mature person, only time will tell.

    Seasons expectations

    Anywhere inside the top ten, continue to grow, add new, well thought out recruits in the January and next summer's windows. There is no other way our club can exist.

    Pre-Season Friendlies: A Necessary Evil or Undervalued Preparation?

    Has anybody got any news about the friendly today at Fairwood between a Swans X1 and Barnsley. A game mentioned by Sheehan in his after match video at Cheltenham. With the first team travelling to Exeter today ahead of tomorrow's friendly, the X1 will be made up of players left behind and U21's.

    Squard Depth - No Bianchini?

    Cabango, Cullen, Ollie Cooper might not have reached the qualities of the players you have quoted but they are still recruits from an academy to regular first team duty that had its budget decreased post PL relegation, let alone a large raft of staff leaving.
