Its not outrageous, the stats prove it, our games had more goals (for both teams), shots and shots on target, hence more action. Youre fine with 0-0s or 1 goal games but for the neutral, Swansea are incredibly dull and we are more entertaining.
Exactly, one team just keeps the ball at the back and the other launches it at every opportunity. They are at either end of the spectrum but equally bad.
Sorry, I didn't realise you were happy to see the other team score. Your games drew more goals because of your total lack of ability to defend, it's nothing to brag about mate. And where is this whole happy with 1-0 or 0-0 games coming from? If that was the case then I again ask you, how did we manage to score more goals than you?
Id rather see a 3-2 win than a 1-0 win, in case you didnt notice, Im not a Swansea fan so Id rather see a high amount of goal in games Im watching with them as I would any other team. For you its all about the win, for everyone else you are the dullest team in the league. No one will say we are dull. Much was made of Leon Brittons 137% pass completion rate and that was only because he never made a forward pass and how many assists did he get? 0 Our goalie got more assists than your midfielder.
I'm not to sure your getting this. Your argument would be totally valid IF you scored more goals than us. But you didnt. So to say you would rather see your team win 3-2 (implying you do) than win 1-0 (implying we do) is totally incorrect.
And no, it's not dull watching a team let 5 or 6 goals in, but the reason people are watching you is not a positive reflection of your club.
Also on the subject of you rather seeing your team win 3-2 than 1-0... We scored 3 or more goals on more occasions than you did this season...
Swans going down. Lost BR and Sig. Will lose Sinclair and can't even get a Wigan No2? Long season for them.
It did I said we would stay up/beat Swans at home/Bolton to go down and many other things. Sorry but losing BR is very bad for Swans and without Sig you will look ordinary. I reckon Sinclair will also want out. You should have got Houston in.
Would you settle for the same season you just had year in year out then? We missed out on top 10 by one goal scored, you stayed up by 1 point. Worry about yourselves before you start making predictions on others. Contrary to what a good few of you think, you are by no means an established club and will do well to avoid the drop again next season. This is not me saying that I think we are either, but the loss of our manager wont hinder us as much as some of you are suggesting. Every appointment we have made since Martinez we have finished higher than the season before.
Colin clearly is a good manager, whatever League, same with Hughton. Norwich have got dead lucky with him, in fact I'm no longer sure they will be relegated by Christmas, they may stay up til the end of March now. On a low Budget they will have the advantage of half their squad not disapearing to Africa for the winter, however the whole squad being permanently based in deepest East Angia clearly presents other challenges for them!
I'm getting a very large dose of dejavu here. Honestly have you not learned anything? You almost got relegated spending big and bringing in big name players. Norwich even with their limited budget stayed up with relative ease. Arrogance personified.
Well for me Norwich are deffo most boring, I'm not too sure if I'm watching the grass just fading from green to yellow in a dry spell when they are on my screen. But you right after them, Swansea were the most sleep inducing lot last season, though they do try to play the game the right way, when they are at their worst they are almost Norwich boring. Stoke don't even try to play football, but their version of ball provides a few goalmouth scrambles. Hope 3 of these and Villa go down.
Swansea and Norwich were sliding slowly downwards towards the end of last season, and I think this trend will continue next season if you don't find a real good Manaager. I respect Swansea for trying to play the game the right way, I enjoyed watching you get Chelsea chasing their own tails when you played them, but against us both games and especially at LR, you were off your game, played around in your own half and were extremely negative.
Norwich - another team who banged in more goals than you lot. If we are boring teams then you guys must be truly dire. If it weren't for the opposition scoring so many goals against you, your matches truly would be pointless.
I'm not sure about Norwich but we picked up more points in the second half of the season than we did the first. So I'd hardly say we were slipping. But I agree with your assessment against you. After our home game it was a sort of turning point for us in terms of attacking play, our away game was the worst we played under BR.
We're talking about style of play not statistics you finished about 5 places above us but only scored 1 more goal than us
I don't much see the point of arguing over the relative merits of the Rs, the Swans and the Canaries during the season just gone. I mean, it was no accident that the Rs only narrowly escaped relegation whilst Norwich and Swansea watched from the comfort of relative mid-table obscurity. The other two promoted sides put in the performances and got the results so they didn't have to sweat over the outcome of matches on the last day of the season. We should get over it and move on.
