Very lucky to be 0-0 at half time and played well for first 25 mins then the enevitable Man City rollercoaster starts but feel very proud of what the boys have done so far.

Just hope we don't take a drubbing in the second half.

The money will be on you getting stuffed Welsh but how many times have we seen a side take a hiding without conceding a goal?

heard a rumour he was coming to city, clearly not.

"I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it's the perfect combination for me and a dream come true," he said.
Honestly has there been a transfer he hasn't said something along those lines?

Hahaha. He better hope he scores a hatful, or he's going to look as shite as I think he is.

Bollocks, and very fortunate as well as the the keeper's parry could have gone anywhere

It was coming. Swans just need to stick to the gameplan tho.

Twas mate but they've kept shape well so far and worked their knackers off

Post by **welsh** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:21 pm

Yes it was coming and i hope the floodgates don't open very happy with the goalkeeper though.

Post by **M H** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:27 pm

Keeper looks real good but your boys have done well so far mate. Looks like your floodgates could be opening though

Oh bollocks this is what i feared but i do have some hope against some of the PL teams.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:36 pm

True. While before they play united tho.

Post by **M H** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:40 pm

I think the Swans have showed a load of intent and they wont give up. Is that enough to stay up I don't know but all credit to them. They aint going down without a fight

Thank god we won't play many games against team's of that quality during the season.

Can someone please tell Neville to stop running on the spot!

aguero looks like he'll settle quickly. he is real quality.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 10:20 pm

Decent player. Interesting to see how he reacts to rough house defending.

Well the wife asked me what i thought the score would be before the match and i said 4-0 and that's how it was.I can take some positives out of the game and knowing we took a drubbing tonight and off one of the biggest teams in the PL i think there are points to be picked up off lesser teams of which are many.We showed we could keep the ball at times and granted with no end product but there are many points for the taking against other teams.But the most important point in this as the result looks bad atleast we wont have to play many teams in the PL with the quality of Man City so i'll keep my chin up and hope for more productive times ahead.

Your passing game will be more effective against lesser teams, but you seemed to lack aggression at times, & if you get chances, you really have to take them.
