    "Jesus said so";"pretty impressive" indeed.

    I see the problem now,Knackered. Swamps posts are of a more ethereal nature,hence his reluctance to name sources!!!

    I understand that (Jorge) Jesus started off as a goalkeeper,but was soon replaced,on account of the fact that he was no good on crosses.

    However,his career was resurrected when he moved into midfield.

    So basically after all this time I'm still waiting for the name of a real pundit who thinks the Premier League is weak then ?

    Straws are being clutched big time here by fans of Wales number 2 team.

    Yep Bonymaen that sounds about right, in fact your appraisal could be deemed as a bit on the mild side !!

    Still waiting for a pundits name too.

    I could have been a bit stronger but then I'd be down to their level and I quite like looking down at them so why spoil the feeling

    Hi folks. I hope you'll excuse the intrusion on your thread. I've been looking for a suitable place to congratulate Swansea City on a fine season. Unfortunately, in doing so, I'm aware I run the risk of ridicule from both sides of the great divide. But what the hell, I'm a football fan and I've decided to grow a pair and run the gauntlet of having the audacity to compliment another team.

    There have been accusations of envy on here, so let me hold up my hand and say guilty as charged. Yes of course I'm envious of where Swansea are now, and yes, like any other one eyed footie fan, I live in the belief that it should be us.

    However, to try and live in denial of the real facts, is both cowardly and definately demonstrates a lack of class.

    I'm not just envious of where your club is, I'm also envious of the way you got there and the way your guys play the beautiful game. In other areas of life, I always advocate that envy can be turned into ambition and the people you are envious of can be role models. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to try and emulate your club, but for a miriad of reasons that no fan can have control over, we've been dealt a different set of cards by those who have messed with the club in the past.

    So yes, I'm very envious, but most certainly not resentful. As I said earlier, I am a football fan and to be resentful of a club who have got where they are in such a principled way, would be crass in the extreme.

    The other thing is that most of your support will be Welsh just like I am. So, when we're not playing each other, why can't I wish you well as fellow countrymen.

    No, I'm not trying to get into bed with you guys, and I hope to high heaven that we can overtake you again, but for now, I wish you continued success in a league which as evidenced by the clubs who are challenging at the top, is getting stronger.

    Enjoy the rest of your season........I'm sure you will. <ok>

    Good man Clingo but you better stay off the Cardiff board for a bit and welcome over from the dark side of the force. No running any gauntlet for you over here.

    Dammit, I thought I'd pulled but you soon put that one to bed!

    Cheers Clingo. It takes a big man to stand up and say that, as fierve rivals that is. Let's hope you can turn things around down East and start getting the results you were getting ealier in the season.

    Without moving this thread too far off topic, (I can't actually remember the topic ;)), you have to admit you are taking a moral high ground on an issue that is the same on both sides. How often has a Swans supporter jumped on our board and tried to make an opinion sound like a widely acknowledged fact and then failed to produce any support! It is part and parcel of a forum. How many pundits would you want? If you were given three, you would say that is not enough but when you support your own case I bet one is plenty :) Then you may argue that pundits are the last people to listen to anyway, I would ;)

    Clingo, nice post. As you well now, nobody will give you any grief on the Cardiff board for that comment.
