Tony Pulis was talking about Stoke's Premier League games after playing away in the Europa League in his post-match interview, so I thought I'd check on how we fared: Thu 8 Aug - Malmo 0 Swansea 0 N/A as Premier League didn't start until 17 Aug Thu 29 Aug - Petrolul Ploiesti 2 Swansea 1 Sun 1 Sep - West Brom 0 Swansea 2 Thu 19 Sep - Valencia 0 Swansea 3 Sun 22 Sep - Crystal Palace 0 Swansea 2 Thu 7 Nov - Kuban Krasnodar 1 Swansea 1 Sun 10 Nov - Swansea 3 Stoke 3 Thu 12 Dec - St. Gallen 1 Swansea 0 Sun 15 Dec - Norwich 1 Swansea 1 Thu 27 Feb - Napoli 3 Swansea 1 Sun 2 Mar - Swansea 1 Crystal Palace 1 That's 2 home games and 3 away games with a record of won 2, drawn 3, lost 0. The record is surprisingly good given that all the travelling is supposed to tire the team out. Although admittedly we didn't have to play any of the top Premier League sides after an away Europa game. Comments?
Very interesting - especially as I think i heard that 5 of Spurs' 7 defeats have been after an Europa League game. There form has been abysmal after the EL. Spurs 1 Swansea 0 * Arse 1 Spurs 0 Cdiff 0 Spurs 1 Spurs 0 W Ham 3 * Spurs 1 Hull 0 * Spurs 0 Newcastle 1 Spurs 2 Man Utd 2 * Spurs 0 Lpool 5 Naaarch 1 Spurs 0 * Spurs 1 Cardiff 0 * after away game Even their wins have only been 1-0 at home v bottom half oppo.
...and Wigan the best of the three... Thu 19 Sep - Zulte Waregem 0 Wigan 0 Sun 22 Sep - Wigan 2 Ipswich 0 Thu 7 Nov - Rubin Kazan 1 Wigan 0 Sun 10 Nov - Yeovil 0 Wigan 1 Thu 12 Dec - Maribor 2 Wigan 1 Sun 15 Dec - Wigan 3 Bolton 2 Won 3, Drawn 0, Lost 0 !!
Makes good reading , it might surprise a few Spurs fans considering their squad compared to us and to a lesser extent Wigans .
