    I'll blame years of a club in turmoil and it's various contributors, it's far more information than I care to explain and far more than you're even interested in.

    Let's be honest Lee Congerton has had 18months+ to address the glaring deficiencies in our squad and hasn't. I'd be surprised is any manager could make us a half decent 10th-15th team with the help of this pretender

    I won't be writing off Congerton, he's clearly limited by budget. Still think we've had a good window all things considered. Fitness remains the main problem for me. But it will come.

    I think the main handicap Congerton has had this last eighteen months has been a year of Poyet, who seemed to get a lot of backs up throughout the club.

    DA is new to premier football but is consistently sticking with his relatively unfit newbies over Larsson, Cattermole and other more experienced players. The team he inherited last season did the job they were asked, possibly they had some input into the tactics for each game. Spurs apart, we have been poor and in all games the defence has been exposed unnecessarily. For me it appears that during the transfer window it is generally accepted that the defence could or would cope with the new system, whatever it is, and no new signings were needed leading to three new midfielders none of whom protect the defence to any great degree.

    It may still be early days but most of us have seen these signs all to regularly and maybe DA just does not know just how unforgiving the prem league can be.

    Everyone going on about kaboul (who was bad like) but no mention of Gomez who, imo, didnt have near enough bite in his play. I understand playing Lens, M'Villa etc while unfit because they bring some extra quality to the team. But Gomez ? We wouldnt be worse off playing Larsson, who is at least fit and has done allright on the odd occasion he has had to play.

    Leicester took time to get going last season, these things don't happen over night, we just have to be patient.

    Nothing we can do now, changing the manager as we have seen in the past only makes a short term gain and them back to square 1.

    Why was Brown taken back on after being let go? For emergencies? Maybe we've got one. I don't want him to be the answer, but he must have a use in the short term whatever that is>

    Why do we start off so slow? ie, Leicester, Norwich, Bournemouth and to certain extent Aston Villa, in all these games we were battered first 20 mins or so, surely the players and Dick should know these teams will start off fast, were like Ornaments, Spurs were the only team we played that didn't start off fast and that was our best performance, its a cert Man U will go for us early on Sat, they will want us beaten at Half time as they are playing the Champions League a few days after and wont want a hard game, so lets match them and who knows we may surprise a few people and get something from the game.

    If you tell your teacher he/she might give you a bronze star :emoticon-0100-smile
    While you're telling him/her (it could be a male or a female sheep, I'd imagine) ask him/her to direct you to the English Language teacher, 'cos you really do need help :)


    p.s. reality check . . . . <sorry> but you'll always be Welsh :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Stokoe was a poor manager imo, he could not handle the pressure of Div 1 and the purchase of Rod Belfit to replace the traitor Turt was one of the worst singnings ever, and boy have we made some.

    TWIN TOWNS...

    Twin Town opens with wide sweeping shots of seaside Swansea; to be the place of action for the next one and a half hours. The serene setting with miles upon miles of old semi-detached housing is suddenly cleaved apart by two young lads tearing through the neighbourhood in a two tone BMW 525. Julian and Jeremy are in deep trouble. Their dysfunctional family scrapes together a living from their dole money and odd-jobs offered to their father. The boys have long since turned to drug abuse and car theft leading a happy-go-lucky life in downtown no-hoper city. In due course the plot thickens as the boys are out for revenge against wealthy club owner Bryn who is not particularly helpful in providing compensation when their father is hit by an accident when working on his premises. The boys are fairly imaginative when it comes to planning their strike, culminating in scenes which all dog-haters and karaoke loathers will love.



    SWANSEA IS A PRETTY ****TY CITY <laugh>

    I was just really really impressed by the intellectual gymnastics displayed by our welsh friend. Or not. You decide

    I've just read a book about these brothers who run an animal brothel where people can pay for sex with animals. Sorry, it wasn't a book, it was the news.

    Totally trust DA mate, was just asking a few questions that's all. We couldn't have a more experienced bloke in charge.
