Season 20/21: Swansea City v Middlesbrough Match Thread

[JackFish]

Said that Steve must be using his dad to call in favours

Could those grapes be any more sour.

Can’t take the guy seriously when he sat with a straight face and claimed Serran deserved his red card against his Palace team. I’d love to know why he thinks it wasn’t a pen, from the angle behind the goal it was nailed on.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

that was a shocking comment, he's in trouble

Let's hope so innit.

His Dad hated us mun.

I used to dread him reffing us.

Don't tell Colin it'll lower his blood pressure :lol:

Colin’s blood pressure this weekend will only be matched by the Queen watching Oprah interviewing Meghan...

He's a pig headed arrogant jerk, always has been.

sorry folks, calmed it now. Just get bloody frustrate because we have the players to be a bloody good footballing side (and have played some good stuff this season too). Cooper's comments about no forwards pisses me off too - he has two on the bench he doesnt even bringon

 

[sainthelens]

Colin being a cvnt as you'd expect. But they gotta throw the book at him bout comment of Coops and his dad.
That was fckn disgusting.

Anyways, that's another three points in the basket. Three more on Tuesday and things will be looking rather peachy.

I think I nice glass of St Emillion is called for to toast whatever football god has decided we get every ounce of payback when it really matters. Not that we are even yet.

St. Emillion is class in a glass! I'm still laughing after that game. We were poor in allowing them to dominate in the second half, but still came away with 3points, with Warnock's reaction only making it better. After the shitty luck that Swansea City has endured over the years in a biased English league, I will take any decisions that go our way any time in any place. Get yourselves to bed early tonight boys. You must be knackered.

We don’t have a centre forward (possibly Whittaker?)

He’s wanted one for two windows and hasn’t been given one.

Spot on Mon. We have plenty of payback in the bank.
The other point is that, despite all our absolute shitness, they hardly created anything.
We were better when we went 2 up front and that would have happened much earlier had their goal been allowed.
So who knows?
Having said that it is one of the luckiest wins I have seen in 50 years supporting them
Is it our bad run yet we keep picking up points?
Where is the Malbec.....

I'm not sure how saying how fcking atrocious we were makes me look like a numpty? If you're happy with that hoof and hope s**t then good on you, but i certainly am not

The problem is that in many of your posts you sound pleased about it to be honest.

At this stage of the season we get points how we get them. For 40 years Warnock has managed to set up sides that are incredibly difficult to play against. They’re niggly, in your face, disruptive, spoil any attempts to establish a rhythm. It’s why he is so sought after at this level.

To win against one of his teams, particularly at the business end of the season is a great achievement. However it’s achieved.

Finishing in the top two of this division is so difficult we’ve never done it in 109 years of trying. We stand a great chance this season. Let’s all cherish every single point, whether it comes from glorious football or a succession of lucky deflections.

Both manager and team are young and learning. They may not be playing great, but they certainly don’t deserve the barrage of criticism that’s coming their way every week.

Dear God, if this is bad football, the years spent watching teams that quite genuinely make this lot look like one of the great Brazil teams would have been far too much for some on here. You’d have been having a heart attack every week.

I think this is key at the minute.
Very few of these players have had anything to do with a prolonged promotion battle. Even last season we were free to do what we wanted because we were such long shots for the play offs.

The pressure on us to perform every week I think is hampering us. Too afraid to lose and that's making us very conservative.
Both players and manager have a lot to learn and hopefully we can be a bit more expressive if we get the points on the board from the games in hand.

whittaker is. He's had borja, brew and gyokeres. Can't play that card because we cant be signing permanent players all the time

As with most people of his personality type, the best way to react to him is to laugh at him. It drives him mad.

 

[DafyddHuw]

And this is why Cooper isn't a good manager. Reason we are winning is solely down to the players general ability.

I am sorry but that is complete bollocks

Cooper has his weaknesses and learning curves but you don't push for promotion if your manager is rubbish :lol: :lol: :lol:

For someone in your position, you should be thoroughly ashamed for calling our manager rubbish. We've got no money, we beg borrow and steal players, our owners are tight as arseholes and we're still pushing for automatic promotion.
Hang your head.

Cant see me watching the game again, but Colins interview priceless, pure stupidity!

Lets see what gets thrown at him, how much fine and ban? compared to Coopers comments.
