    I am going to go with taff here. Season starts with Watford, but will be interesting to see how we set up against Arsenal. I know it is international break, so how many missing, 3 off the top of my head, Siggy Fab and taylor. have I missed anyone.

    Monty was injured last game and to be honest it wouldn't bother me if Ki stayed in Korea unless Bob can get him playing again.

    Read into this as you wish , a bit late and unheard by those with the power

    Swansea City coach Alan Curtis has urged the club's board to show support for manager Francesco Guidolin.

    The Swans are 17th in the table and the 2-1 home defeat by Liverpoolincreased the pressure on the Italian, who is the odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League boss to leave his post.

    "Of course he is under pressure - we are all well aware of it," said Curtis.

    "It would be nice - not a 'back or sack him' - but to have some sort of support. That's up to the board."

    Will Swansea sack Francesco Guidolin?
    Swansea are only above the relegation places on goal difference and have just one Premier League win this season.

    Guidolin has acknowledged his job is on the line, but Curtis says the 61-year-old is "handling it really well".

    "I don't think he is any different, his mannerisms are exactly the same," added the former Swans striker.

    "You could see by the reaction of the crowd against Liverpool and the players' performance that everyone is backing him. The players are fighting for him.

    "The performance was good against Manchester City and it was good against Liverpool, but unfortunately we have not picked up any points.

    "The longer you go without picking up points the more fuel is put on the fire."

    Curtis hoped that Franco would successfully ride the storm, he thought the results would come, that's what he told me when I was down Langland Bras on the weekend, he was sitting on the next table to me, I didn't press him for further info, because it would put him on the spot, though I doubt he would have gone any deeper on the subject anyway.............<ok>

    Curtis never helped things, He was far to quiet and not outspoken enough in support for FG.... He could have advised him much better if he ever gave him any advice at all....Im glad however that FG has finally gone as his game plan was one dimensional and easy to plan against.....

    That's a very good read, and there is not one word I can disagree with, it seems to me that the bond with the boardroom and the stands is now broken, and Jinks and his Yankee doodle dandies had better watch their backs, the Jack army are no mugs, life will be very difficult for Bob, if he doesn't hit the ground running after the way Franco was treated, and let no one be under any misapprehension these Yanks have no interest or consideration for the fans or the Trust, you just need to reference DC fans who have experienced it all at the hands of these two..............<ok>
