Season 20/21: Swansea City v Middlesbrough Match Thread

[DJack]

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.

good points.

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.

Your comprehension has gone a bit awry.

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

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

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

Whittaker is one for the future.

Brewster, Borja left last summer as did McBurnie (hence he wanted to replace). He wanted a replacement and wasn’t given one. It didn’t need to be permanent. We should have just used loans where he wanted them...

we did - gykores!

Pouring a celebration Cardinal Mendosa brandy. Cheers!

That’s one. We lost three. Plus he went in January and we didn’t replace.

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.

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

I think he is comedy gold and I have done for years. As you say, just laugh at him - even more so when his rant has gone too far and he is in danger of punitive action.

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.

I thought he said a glass of Emulsion just to add some gloss to a great afternoon.

Um, I didn't call him rubbish. Elward did.

Your apology will be accepted

Bullseye...123

I didn't think I'd be doing paint jokes at 90+4.

Make no bones about it, that was an awful performance. All Warnock did was match us up player on player and won the midfield battle. First half even but they totally dominated the 2nd, Cooper has to react quicker to that, our luck will not last forever. Once our wingbacks can’t get forward we are buggered, need plan B.
We need a performance

At 90+4 you were walking on eggshell(s)...
