‘Swansea City are certs for relegation’: The many doubters now having to eat their words By South Wales Evening Post | Posted: March 16, 2015 By Paul Turner / [email protected] /@readmybook please log in to view this image Robbie Savage and Paul Scholes - both wrong about Swansea City. Comments (0) FOOTBALL is a funny old game, but there were plenty of people who were deadly serious about one thing - Swansea City would be facing a relegation battle this season.Even when Swansea City beat Manchester United in the first game of the 2014/15 Premier League season, plenty were still ready to stake their reputations on the fact the Swans would be staring at the bottom of the Premier League table come May.Instead, the Swans sit 9th with 40 points, 15 off the relegation zone and just 16 off Champions League football - with a game in hand in relation to both places.That might have come as a surprise to Welshman Robbie Savage who tweeted before the season start: "WBA, Saints, Swans, Burnley, Villa are going to really struggle this year, could three of these go down?"Former Manchester United player Paul Scholes was equally pessimistic about the Swans’ fortunes.He said on BT Sport before the game against Manchester United that the Swans would be relegatd. Paul Merson and Alan Curbishley also wrote off the Swans.And Sky Sports pundit Paul Walsh said: “Things are always liable to change but I look at some of the business Burnley have done, like Marvin Sordell and Lukas Jutkiewicz, and it doesn’t convince me. “Aston Villa are in danger because they have hardly done anything, bar Joe Cole, Philippe Senderos and Kieran Richardson. Cole could make a difference but he has been out of sorts for some time, and while Richardson is steady, where’s he going to play? They don’t inspire.“Leicester would be my third team. Two Man United kids and a back-up ‘keeper in Ben Hamer don’t get me off my seat and I believe Leonardo Ulloa from Brighton, at £8million, is a real gamble. Will he score enough goals? I don’t think so. “They are my three but I would class Villa as the most likely to get out of danger, while I don’t think Swansea, West Ham and Southampton will have easy seasons.”It hasn’t been an easy season - he was right about that. But then which club out of the 20 could claim to have had an ‘easy’ season.Premier League football is never easy.It’s also very difficult to predict with any certainty.But who cares? You were all wrong about Swansea! And we’d love to see the looks on your faces now.Here’s plenty of people who got it wrong, and a few who tried to set them straight: Read more: http://www.southwales-eveningpost.c...ory-26181481-detail/story.html?#ixzz3UZdqklYr Follow us: @SWEveningPost on Twitter | SWEveningPost on Facebook
savage and scholes are an embarrassment to punditry. To work in TV/Radio you'd think a minimum requirement would be to speak in coherent sentences but savage cannot even do this! As for scholes his 'working class hero' schtick is wearing thin, defending johnny evans was a sackable offence in my book.
That's why I like Roy Keane. Love him or loath him, he speaks his mind and there's no bullshit. He calls it as he sees it.
Agree valley...i hate pundits who sit on the fence and you cant understand what they are on about....
good bloke Monk, one of the best with the haircut of the guy in the TV series. Seriously I am changing my opinion of Monkey, he was left with a great squad and improved it no end (Y) with the exception of the olds and bolds who need to be told to f off
Looks like that is happening. Britton and Dyer are struggling to make the starting line up but I would stop short of telling them to F off.
well perhaps I was being a tad impolite, Mr Dyer and Mr Britton, your services are no longer required, is that better?
Oh dear. "Much ado about nothing",as the Bard would put it. So some nasty,wasty pundits thought The Swans' would struggle,perhaps even flirt with relegation. There,there,suck on this dummy. How many points did those diabolical forecasts cost the team then? Five,ten,perhaps even more. Champions League place in jeopardy due to their actions? What nonsense. Had they suggested that The Swans' would be Champions,or even win a Major Cup,(remember those),they would be equally wrong. So what? Time to grow up people. The Swans' are what they are,nothing more,nothing less,and some people/pundits will have points of view/opinions,(oh how some on here really DO HATE OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS),that are diametrically opposed to one eyed supporters.. So what? As regards Savage,and Scholes,well,they have more football knowledge in their pubic hairs than anyone who frequents this Forum. Are they always right in their assessments? No,of course not. Are they likely to tip Chelsea,Arsenal,Liverpool,Man.City,Man.Utd., or Tottenham,for relegation? No,of course not. That means the three to go down will come from a pool of 14 other teams,and The Swans' are one of the 14.
Football has changed from those days musty by a huge amount. Money has ruined any fair play and there are only 4 teams with a possible 2 more that will ever win the premiership now.......gone are the days when teams like Ipswich, villa,Blackburn and many others had a fair chance of winning the title. It's a shame that teams other than the top 6 will only ever be known as Also rans......
Leeds? Blackburn? Newcastle? The premier league hasn't changed things as much as some pundits like to make out to us mere mortals. Those three had cash flowing out of their ears. How they had that cash is irrelevant, the sugar daddies of today can run, sponsors can tear up the contracts, the (vast majority of) fans can switch allegiance to La Liga as the big two are now in vogue. And if Newcastle, Leeds and Balckburn are anything to go by the rot sets in blisteringly quick and totally out of the blue.
