Syteanric 1 Posted May 30, 2011 interesting fact time: swansea now mean that half of the 92 professional clubs have played in the premiership since it started in 1992.... depending who gets promoted in may 2012 the rest of the teams that havent could be in the minority of this!

Thecanaryfan 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Add a 0 to your prediction and you will be much closer. Dont disrespect Swansea, they taught us a lesson at their place last season and today they taught a strong Reading outfit an even bigger lesson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Show some class ziggy - why taunt a team simply for not being yours!I really really hope we have supporters who show some class and respect this coming season. It doesn''t mean you ares upporting your own team any less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted May 30, 2011 Shame Reading didn''t win; they have a much better class of fan! Yes, the team from Wales have done well - although I don''t want to forgive the Swansea players for whooping and yelling down Holt''s ear when they beat us at their place. I found that disrespectful. Never mind, what goes around comes around... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Agreed Mustard - however, their football has been a pleasure to watch this season. Good luck to them - if you want the honest truth, I hope us and them stay up next season. Happy for QPR to drop back down as well as two perennial hanger-oners!

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Swansea play some extremelly nice football and (lets face it) are the kind of team you would never tire of watching. Their solid defence and pacy offence will make them a hard scalp in the Premier League and they can be as confident as any of the promoted teams that they will stay up. Their away record needs sorting out though and (as Reading showed) they might struggle against more direct teams (i.e. Stoke, Blackburn). Regardless, congratulations to the Swans. p.s. I hope that they change their authority to the English FA as I can''t handle a Premier League team being ran by the Welsh FA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suffolk exile 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Well I''m pleased they went up. The best side I saw at CR last year. Play good football. Came third, and did nothing to annoy me during the season (in Stark contrast to cheating Reading). Plus their manager is walking up Kilamanjaro (sp?) so is hardly going to be in a position to catch up in terms of transfer activity! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
San Miguel 0 Posted May 31, 2011 It is a little frustrating how the media suddenly cling to a team once they get Premier League status and soon forget them if they go down.I''ve seen 2 websites now which state Swansea are known as ''the Barcelona of the Championship'' - really? i''ve not heard anyone say that all season.Amuses me though how much attention Cardiff got because everyone was so sure they would be in the Premier League, they had Bellamy on loan, etc.. and now they are forgotten.
