    I note it's one of our favourite refs on Saturday. Mr James "never to be forgotten" Linnington.

    I never tire of seeing that video.
    Shankly apparently gave the pre match pep talk.
    Toshack, the best thing to ever come out of Cardiff, apart from the old N&C Coach. <laugh>

    The word "dross " aptly sums up the last three seasons.

    Thankfully, and I know I'm in a minority of THREE, we are out of that awful League.
    It's just a pretentious, toxic environment, with little, or no, redeeming features.
    Premier it certainly isn't.

    Perhaps the Club can now rebuild their identity, which was thrown away after all the hard work that had created it. That's more important to me at the moment.

    I want people drooling over Swansea City, and the way we play, just like they did not so long ago.

    We went from being admired to being justifiably laughed at. Even I was laughing at us. I couldn't believe what had happened.

    Anyway, a new season, new Manager, new hope, and not a P.L. team in sight.

    I don't think you're in the minority and if so then that's two of us

    I loved our time in the Premiership. It has been great to see the Swans play at, compete and often win at the great stadiums, but the last few seasons has seen a toxic atmosphere develop at the Club due to shenanigans behind the scenes.

    Leaving the ground on Saturday it was noticeable to see that everyone was happy again. We had played some great football, our manager was positive and we had gone toe to toe with Sheffield Utd on their own patch. The Club had got a smile back on its face and I am looking forward to the rest of the season in the Championship which, for a Club/City of our size, should be our natural home.

    You can put me down as 0.5 <laugh>

    I suppose that, as well as McKay & Monty, there’s Routledge, Narsingh & James.

    I loved that N&C service. I would get the last one back to Swansea on Friday nights after a week in the Capital. It was a bit of a bone shaker, but they really sped along. I was usually the only passenger.
    Caught the first one back to Cardiff on Monday mornings.

    Nothing to do with the rather nice cheap ale then <cheers>, but I agree it was great leaving the ground with a smile rather than a wince, the best part for me was having my hand shaken by one of theirs who was quite complimentary of us .
