St Gallon vs. Swansea SittyVenew: Switserlund Kick-off 6:00pm (Welsh time) Thursday 12th December 2013 Meeting of the Abergarngochdulais Branch of the Swansea Sitty Supporters Club at the Stag and Dalek Pub In Attendance: Mr Gullible (Secretary), Tarquin (Chairman), Molly (Treasurer), Algernon (Committee Member), Annabelle Fortescue-Smythe (Tarquin's new girlfriend), Darren Item 1 on the ajjenda is why they are called St Gallon. Tarquin said that Saints generally have about 20 pints of blood because they are so good but when St Gallon became a saint he said he wanted to be like mere mortals and only have 8 pints of blood. So God gave him 8 pints of blood but all the other saints poked fun at him and gave him the nickname St Gallon. Our Danish posters may not be familier with a âgallonâ coz its an old impeerial measure but its about the same as 4.5 litas. So when Laudrup leaves Swansea, will all the Danish posters stop following SWansea? Or are we lumped with them forever? Item 2 on the ajjenda is getting to St Gallon. Annabelle Fortescue -Smythe said that she and Tarquin were going to the game in Switserlund and the travel cumpanee had given them a special package. It contained a Swiss Roll, a Swiss watch, a Swiss army knife and a Swiss bank account. Everyone agreed that they had got a really good deal. Item 3 on the ajjenda was about Swiss football grounds. Darren said he went to a leeg game in Switserlund once. At one end of the ground they had a jiant cuckoo clock and when 45 and 90 minutes were up the jiant cuckoo comes out and says âcuckooâ so that the swiss ref knows that added time has begun. Iâd like to see that, like. Apparently the ground at St Gallon is just called âThe Gallonâ. Their fans who live near the ground drive gas-guzzling SUVs because the veercles only do 10 miles to The Gallon. Fans who live a long way from the ground can drive a Ford Fiesta coz they do 40 miles to The Gallon. Yes, itâs trew! Item 4 was our favarit part of the meeting where we have to name as many famuss swiss people as possible. Hereâs wot we thunked. 1) Roger Federer 2) William Tell 3) Renee Zellweger (has a Swiss father according to Molly and she loves the Bridget Jones films) 4) Jacques Piccard (holds the record for the deepest ever ocean dive - over 10,000 metres)(According to Algernon.) 5) Martina Hingis 6) Louis Chevrolet (as in the cars) 7) Paul Klee (artist) 8) Ursula Andress 9) ............ 10) ............ We didnât know no more. How about you guys? Item 5 on the ajjenda woz our predikshan. We are going for Swansea to finish the job off and get into the last 32, so itâs St Gallon 1 Swansea 2. Mr. G.
Lets put laudrup out of his misery and lose, the prem is suffering as he puts european games before anything else. We can play in europe once we have established ourselves in the premiership first.. Hopefully we get stuffed and that will be it..My opinion only...
Not sure I can predict what will happen, we don't know which Swansea City will turn up these days. Even in Europa League matches we have been poor (against the Russians and Swiss at the Liberty).
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Krasnodar win in Valencia as the Spanish lot have already won the group so will probably play a second team. We've got to get a point in St Gallen....haven't we? Great thread as always, Mr G
Thought it was Sunk Galleon. We've gone this far and the fixtures ease off a bit I think if we go through. At least for a while. I recognise the problems with this competition but I'd hate us to be a flop. Laudrup wants us to go as far as we can so we have no choice either way. I suspect he'll go for it.
Dai you're fishing................. but shame on you for saying what you said even tho your looking for reaction. i would never ever want my beloved jacks to be beat let alone "Stuffed"...... back to the thread and game, lovely job mr g, however it's going to be a tough game especially as their team are likely to be packed with members from the same family. they have a pair of midfield enforcers that Ivor would die for, this may actually happen to the opposition players, there's no messing with St Gallen when Edward G and Sugar Ray are sorting things out, added to that the deft footwork of Billy Bojangles, plus the skills of Smokey and Mary then it'll be a tough game against the formidable Swiss Family Robinson.
It's getting worse. Also... 10) Patrick Moraz Ex Yes keyboard player - Brazilian/ Swiss but it counts.
Germaine Gruyere, Sunk Galleon, Basel Fawlty, Swiss Family Robinson, Toby Lerone. Yes, all good addishuns to the list. New I could rely on you guys
I never knew the Star Trek Captain held that record ...... is there no end to that mans talents ? Good luck Sitty
Simply Posh, do you shop at M&S? (Simply M&S and all that). I've never been in an M&S - what's it like?
They certainly do,aswan,only not as we know it. Down here it's cosy meals for two for a tenner,including wine. Up there it's all Masochism & Sadism,with a whip around to see who pays for the whine!!!
