But this is not true is it, Laudrup was one of the few recent managers who promised to stay and did, despite his stock being massively high with interest from other clubs. He had always been scrupulously careful not to make any promises he could not keep re staying. From his press conference...

Agree with all of the above Fab has certainly been excellent from the off.

If you cannot see the absolute perfect irony of your last sentence there is nothing I can say to help. This is a forum people will have different views, if we are just here to agree then no point. It was a difficult situation but we played sooo deep and failed to use fresh legs available. It...

Love Leon, who doesn't. Well named with the heart of a Lion (especially when he played with the bandage round his head). Hope he is up and running ASAP as he always gives us options and works non stop in the heart of the team, however it is also the case that he sometimes can appear ineffectual...

Think it is a bit hard to call supporters of our new manager "groupies". Although some of us have indeed started their adulation at such a fever pitch it will be hard to think they will have another level to go to when he actually starts winning cups, delivering top ten PL finish, progressing in...

Fingers crossed because he is certainly a stylish player. Ramires had a lot to answer for with that unpunished ankle breaker of a tackle.

Utter disrespectful delusional nonsense - or should we say the Laudrup way that Monk inherited is what has given us 3 straight PL wins this season with a changed team? If we start losing I imagine you will revert to that. Remember the impact of that great Rodgers player Michu for one (who...

Sorry made me laugh too. It is the very minimum you would expect from a professional PL player returning from international duty. What next Ki shows the strength of his commitment to Swansea by continuing to breath. This in no way means Ki doesn't have a good attitude and nothing really wrong...

Why would they pay when it was clear he was not wanted here and they could pick him up for nothing. Similar issue with Michu if he returns now it has been said we don't want him back. Wasn't one of the main stumbling blocks his PL wages. As far as what every professional club in the...

Nothing to lose indeed. It is one game and we know on our day we can beat them at home. A win would be exceptional. Would be interested to see Fernandez play but not sure about dropping Amat given his solid play so far, but more especially because Chelsea is the type of team he is most ideally...

Very disappointing for us and Leon although not surprising as his injury had sounded a bit concerning. Get well soon Leon. Hope we are not going to suffer a rerun of last season's injury toll, at least no Europe to cope with this year. Perhaps now is the time to reintegrate Canas (if we have...

Certainly seemed far from impressed at having to cough that much when he spoke about it at last years fans forum

Close except the nearest you can get to balance game difficulty for a particular team is comparing performance against the same games the previous year (not perfect but much better than counting games against top and bottom teams as if they were equal). Monk could not come close to his...

Monk has put himself up on that pedastal with his big talk and criticism of managers who achieved so much for this club. It is totally disrespectful and cringeworthy, most especially when his lack of qualification and massive inexperience is taken into account. Yet he refused help citing needing...

Must have broken out of his sulk at this point to look totally delighted that Nath scored and give him a big hug. Running up behind Michu also delighted and wanting to hug Nath - that other big trouble causer Canas Wasn't this the time when both Michu and Bony had both been injured and just...
