    Stop copying laudrup's quotes haha! And the reason why he said it is because as a manager you need to be diplomatic otherwise you sound arrogant! But us as fans believing that our club that we love is good enough is how we should support our club! And it really pisses me off that the atmosphere has gone from the liberty! We need to cheer the team on and support every game through thick and thin! Win or lose! This can drive a team to get a win!! SUPPORT!!! 12TH MAN AND ALL!!! FCUK!! THESE FANS HAVE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD!!! THESE ARE GLORY DAYS!!!

    Roll on the expansion! Jake will finally be here and about 3 years old, and that means a new recruit to the Jack Army with his noisy bar steward of a father back at the games!!!

    Well I've been to more games this season than last season, and the atmosphere is very poor, not like the Championship days at all! Don't suppose the performances have helped though..............<ok>

    No you never called anyone arrogant for believing in our squad! and if you don't get what I'm trying to say then you are completely stupid!!! Look up support in the dictionary then come back!!! some people on here falsely call themselves supporters!!

    Oh and also:

    Swansea City: Michael Laudrup 'not worried' about relegation threat

    Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup is confident his side can avoid being dragged into the battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

    They have only picked up three points from their last six games and lie 13th.

    The Swans*lost 3-2 to Manchester City*on New Year's Day and their next two league matches are against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

    "As I long as I can see that there's a lot of confidence in the team&#8230; then I'm not worried," said Laudrup.

    "I have a lot of respect for the numbers and it could be moments when we are just a few points away from that bottom three.

    Swansea's next six Premier League games

    "We just have to pick up points and especially when we [face teams in the bottom half].

    "We know there are some difficult games coming up but if we do play as we have done in recent games we will pick up the points."

    Swansea have not won since their*3-0 victory over Newcastle United*in early December and are now only four points clear of the bottom three.

    After playing seven games in 24 days, Laudrup hopes the Swans will benefit from a less congested January and February.

    Their Europa League campaign does not get under way until 20 February when they take on Napoli.

    Before that they play league games against Fulham, West Ham United, Cardiff City and Stoke City.

    "Not playing every three or four days it is a little different," said Laudrup.

    "We have [an FA Cup] game [against Manchester United] on Sunday, depending on what happens there we will only play once a week&#8230; at least until the end of February."

    Laudrup may be without*Pablo Hernandez for a couple of weeks,*however, after the Spanish winger limped off against Manchester City with a hamstring injury.

    Hernandez is unlikely to be fit for Swansea's FA Cup third round visit to Manchester United on Sunday.

    Dane Laudrup confirmed he will be looking to add to his squad in the January transfer window.

    "We will look and we are looking," he said.

    Not worried about dropping down as there are some right crap teams below us. Fulham, Sunderland and Palace all look good bets to go down and don't rule out West Ham, Norwich or the red twats

    Anyone of us from 10th down could go down its that close. the top half is well beyond us unless we win 80% of the remaining games and that is never going to happen under laudrup if we cant muster any back to back wins....

    That's two then <laugh>

    <sorry> couldn't resist.

    The atmosphere is shocking though and it's transferring to the team who seem edgy. I think we need a decent run of home wins to turn it around. Hopefully Jan / Feb will see to that.

    I'll allow you that one! On a serious note, I can't ever remember a poor atmosphere as this, even when we first moved into the Liberty and getting used to the acoustics of the stadium, but then I don't remember any bad seasons, except the one when Jacket up sticks!...............<ok>

    Until we are mathematically sure of safety I'm still worried about relegation.
    We've had injuries and the busiest matchday calendar of any team in this division. 13th aint bad so far.

    I predict we will finish the season roughly where we are now - and I would bite your hand off to take it now.

    I'd take any position from 10-14, but if we can play like we did against man city consistently and ash and co pull their head out of the sand in defence, we might sneak into the top 10.

    Hmmm... If we win 80% of our remaining games then we would finish at least on 64 points and that would have us finish 5th by last years table and get us into Europe again (Not such a good thing some may think?). I agree that that is well beyond us, but I don't quite get how you match winning 80% of our remaining matches with finishing in top 10.

    I am not arrogant as you called me to say that we are on course for 47 to 48 point finish, which based on last 10 years historic stats would be good enough for 10th or 11th. I do not see that as relegation form. Your doom and gloom about a relegation fight seems to be based upon the fact that we have lost against the big teams. The only teams outside of those we have lost to are Cardiff and Southampton and both were away matches. Yes we have to pick up more points at home, but thishalf of the season, we have more winable home games. Just my opinion, and I respect yours, although I won't name call you despite you calling me arrogant. I suggest we revisit both our posts at the end of the season to see who was correct. We can then use whichever one's current opinion as FACT! then. :)
