Wait, he said that?

Hard to be fouled when you don’t have the ball

Yes, but it also makes swansea look better than they are

We’ve gone from having a squad of hard working, honest and truly likeable players to this crap. I feel for them tbh, as much as it’s frustrating for us as fans, don’t think the players enjoy this either, they’re being told to play this way and it’ll be killing their potential in their careers too. Conways got a euros on his mind for example… One thing I always had to say to team mates when we went through changes like this is that you have to do what the manager says. If you do what he says and it’s shit and it doesn’t work, it’s the managers fault. If you ignore what he says and try to do your own thing, it’s now your fault. This today is worlds apart from Tuesday, this looks more like a “lost dressing room” than anything we’ve seen to now. They don’t believe in this plan.

I did hear right then?? but he then went on to say we’ve had no shots. Was a truly bizarre sentence or two Hes now commenting on highlights and talked about how the header (nowhere near the goal) gets “closer and closer” each time he sees it… I think he’s taking the piss At least the Robins TV lot have each other to talk to, this poor chaps on his own.

This has to be bait?

Did the swansea commentator just say Manning will be pleased with this first half?

I’d usually agree, but this is absolutely dire and it might cause a bit of fire in the changing room at HT I’d usually agree, but this is absolutely dire and it might cause a bit of fire in the changing room at HT

Boos are starting and a chant of “f’ing useless”

This is honestly terrible. One of the worst opening 25 minutes of a football match I’ve ever seen let alone City. And to be clear half of that is down to how shit swansea are too,

I don’t want to derail the thread but why is it that any woman getting a job in football MUST be a box ticking exercise? The same in the past has been said about black pundits etc. it can never be possible that they’ve earned their place? And there’s so many shit male pundits, yet rarely does anyone call out how they’ve got the job. Must be so depressing for women (or any other less represented population) trying to get into the sport to constantly face these dinosaur comments.

What fibs? He’s even said in the pre match interview he’s basically got 10 minutes max - which sounds like he shouldn’t be risked

It was tested Tuesday at ipswich, didn’t last long

Yea I'm not necessarily unhpapy with the transfer window from a realistic view But in the context of the things coming out from the club, it's a weird transfer and window in general

Well technically the subject, though the post seemed to go onto a different topic

Because we were supposedly chasing top 6 and we needed players now.

I don't disagree with our performances, but someone loses points in all those 6 pointers which complicates the "only 6 points from safety" aspect. There's a reason those teams are down there, they don't all suddenly hit promotion form to gain 6 points in 10 games on teams above them. I said put £10 on those 4 results. I was using Bet365 if it really matters.

At least that's the next anniversary celebration replica shirt sorted in 10 years time

Also worth noting that people can put any name down or is it likely that Steven Gerrard has actually donated? Also as @Bristol Rob has said, not put their name for anonymity. Such a sad thing for Scotty, echo the comments about him he's a legend of this club.

Go stick a tenner on it, £650 return.

The problem you and many others fall for is just looking at the table, counting wins and points and then fearing the worst. Not only that, but applying worst possible results to us, and assuming promotion chasing form for the other 6/7 teams at the bottom of the table. For that to happen you're going to need results such as Sheff Wed and Cardiff to beat Leeds and Ipswich respectively - both at home but still highly unlikely. Blackburrn and Plymouth, and Millwall and Brum play each other. Next week Sheff Wed would have to backup their massive Leeds win by beating Ipswich away. Millwall go to Leeds, the rest are all playing teams higher than them. Good Friday Blackburn are next up to topple Ipswich, QPR and Brum play each other, Sheff Wed and Swansea face each other. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely many of those teams are picking up more than a few points if that. And if you do think it, I'd head to the bookies as you'll get some good odds.

I've got to GW43 and no one gets near us - assuming general form continues from those bottom sides. Too many play each other, and we should probably pick up points between now and then - fwiw I've only got us as beating Plymouth and Huddersfield and losing the rest and we still have 54 by GW43 Blackburn, Stoke, Sheff Wed, Birmingham, Huddersfield all languishing around 40-45 points. I may have been a bit harsh on Blackburn's results. I don't think we're in danger IMO.

Wasn;t that the question?

Why not? The tickets those guys get don't come out of the initial allocation (or are already allocated for) anyway. They've helped me in the past, though usually when it's been too late to buy a ticket because I've been able to get out of work after the sales have ended.

He's started the last 3 games?
