Oh thank you Pagan, I'd have preferred TED. [video=youtube;uPIG47tgl-w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPIG47tgl-w[/video]
Bloody brilliant. Not our best performance but understandable with the pressure and the way Fulham setup. The crowd played their part also, lets have it like that for the remaining games. Great 2nd half and looking forward to the next games now. Also may I say how lovely it is on here tonight

Yes totally agree, Brum was a tougher game than most imagine , we came from behind which shows character in my book , we didn't freeze and we kept going. We're up to 10th at the moment and I reckon 15 points , 5 wins will see us safe again . The boys are coming back from injury and maybe a squabble or two is good to clear the air . Onwards and upwards !
Just got in from the liberty. Needed that.... Feeling so relieved. Good to see jj, jdg and dyer back. Seeing the teamsheet pre game put me in a good mood to start with. Dyer doesn't half makes a difference . The game certainly changed when he come on. I thought routledge has some good penetrating runs at the defence. And Chico scoring(nearly had TWO!!!).... His £s per goal ratio will be as good as some strikers at this rate lmfao. Need Vorm back ASAP please. Tremmel seems to have a confidence issue ( I always think that when gk choose to punch more than catch). And he is hesitant on times at distributing the ball , when Vorm creates more just by being quicker releasing the ball. But more positives than negatives tonight. Pleased to say we are still on course for my 45 plus point prediction. Need a point at least against the hammers on Saturday.
I know Pablo had a bit of a strange day, but some of his runs and trickery were sublime, getting past his man is something we have missed. His touch was a bit suspect at times, but then Bony's was back to his early season best lol, all over the shop Dyer also came on and made a huge impact, mainly down to him returning from injury more confident than Pablo, but once both are back to full fitness, and in Pablo's case confident (this time I hope he can stay injury free when he gets there lol) roll on the good times. I don't know why, but for me Shelvey does not suit the AM role for us, I don't like his lack of movement, I also noticed that sometimes when Routs came inside, and had the ball, Shelvey didn't know where to go.
Played **** and won. At last we got a bit of luck, but it wasn't a lucky win. Fulham came parked the bus and tried to score a header from a set piece....they didn't deserve anything, fortune favours the brave and all that. We should be 11th after tomorrow with a 6 point cushion. This Saturday we face a poor West Ham team who will also park the bus and try to score a header, which they might just do as we are **** in the air and they only do 6ft + players....but they are at home and the pressure will be coming from their stands to force the issue (massive game for them, 1 of the few they believe they can win). We must attack, 2 wins behind us, players coming back....if we are brave and go for it and win? Well we'll be going into that derby with a 6-9 point cushion off of 3 wins on the bounce knowing we can put a big shiny nail in their coffin...and Ole can't exactly park the bus a la Malky having nailed his attacking colours to the mast can he. Let's put 3 league wins together and put this relegation ****e to bed. If we do we'll be dreaming of cup finals
Very good point about Shelvey in the AM role, I totally agree...would have rather switched him and De Guzman around tonight. Remember how good Hernandez and Routledge played there, interchanging, against West Brom last November though? If they can all stay fit I'd like to see the 3 wingers combo again against teams who come to park the bus, they were electric that night.
I hope JDG finally stops getting pelters now . It shows how much we missed him when he returned today, first half he was very average but that is to be expected considering injury i guess, same with pablo,some players need to feel their way back ,so great for them. Special mention for Dyer,considering the time he has been out it looked like there was no feeling his way back for him !! picked up where he left off, laudrup played it spot on with the subs today,subbing pablo after 60 mins after a 45 min appearence the following game and giving shelvey 70 good minutes for amat who was steady yet again. Ben Davies, one of the worst defensive full backs ive ever seen,got totally roasted first half and between him and tremmel almost cost us with poor play, laudrup has it wrong on this one,Neil Taylor is the player for us right now,Ben is not doing anything further up the field anyway so id go with Taylor all day,knows how to defend against top wide players alot better then Ben . That was the only problem for me,first half we were ok but our defence just looks very shaky, i thought chico played his best game of the season tonight though, it was a crucial win and im really happy for the boys and in particualr Laudrup,who has taken an amazing amount of stick for no reason . Well done swans and the Jack faithful who were loud and proud,just like season 1 in the prem league
Support was much better tonight....we need to keep this up for all our home games..... No need to worry about support for next home game though

Good post! Ben was ok but he did have a hard time today, a big welcome back for JDG, Dyer and shelvey. Pablo looked nervous and a little off the pace. In all, good game, now let's kick on and rack up those important points! I think confidence will be fully resumed when michu returns!!
