    I always thought he was a Burnley boy, their most noticeable player along with Martin Dobson when they pipped us to the Division 2 title in 1972/3. But he was actually really young and he should have been at his peak when we got him - though we were on the slide by then. Good player.


    Cheers Dave.

    I remember an unexpected win against Liverpool in which James had a great game, 77 or 78?...

    Shame, I remember he had a blinder that day, probably his best game for us...

    Beale's secret training sessions to get Dykes scoring again, Swans have no chance... <laugh>

    That's the sort of record we have a habit of correcting.

    We tend to do the same ourselves - neither Luton nor Boro had won this season until they played us <doh>

    Am looking forward to watching the stream for this match.

    I believe that Swansea are still following the tippy-tappy style of football. It will be interesting to see how the match develops with our high press and quick counter attacks.

    I guess that today we will not win the possession % statistic. But I hope that we will confidently win the goal score line stat. :)

    Tim already on the bench. Strong looking bench that!

    Can't recall the last time we had three games on the bounce with the same team. 2010?!!?

    As long as every player gives 100% we have a good chance. Beale has increased the intensity of our game and hopefully Dykes moves on from his miss with a goal.

    Willock pulled back in the area in the 1st minute. We get nothing.

    Exactly. Basically, ref wants an easy life, to just pick up his pay check. Doesn't want the bother of a key decision in the first minute.

    Refs have an unspoken rule that fouls are different after the first ten mins.
