Bring back Brendan

Now that Garry Monk has finally been put out of his misery, attention will turn to who Swansea City should replace him with in order to revive the clubs fortunes. For me our biggest problem is that we seem to have lost our identity. We have moved away from the triangles, short sharp passing and

The end of the road

Garry Monk is a Swansea City legend and he always will be. That’s what makes writing this blog particularly hard but unfortunately I can’t let my affection for him detract from the fact that his reign as our manager should now come to an end. I wrote a blog a month or so ago expressing

Opposition View – Leicester City

Gary Silke of the Fox Fanzine answers our questions for our regular Opposition View piece this week. How long have you supported Leicester and what was the first game you ever attended? 22nd November 1975 – an ill-tempered 0-0 draw between Jimmy Bloomfield’s Leicester and Bobby Robson’s Ipswich at Filbert Street. I loved every second.

Opposition View – Liverpool

It’s a trip to Anfield for Swansea City this weekend. Red All Over The Land fanzine editor John Pearman tells us about Liverpool’s season so far… How would you assess your season so far?

With only five goals in our last eight league games there has been much talk amongst the Jack Army about the need for us to sign another striker when the transfer window opens. Our January buys haven’t always been successful in the past, especially our loan recruits from abroad (barring Gylfi Sigurdsson) so I’m going

No more excuses, things MUST improve!

At the end of August we were riding the crest of a wave. Another fine victory over Manchester United had put us into the top four going into the first international break and the majority of the Jack Army including myself were confident that we’d once again finish comfortably in the top half of the

Daniel Brigham of The Little Yellow Bird answers our questions ahead of Saturday’s long trip to Carrow Road. How’s your season been so far? After a good start to the season with a couple of big wins over Sunderland and Bournemouth and good points at Upton Park and Anfield Norwich have hit a bit of

Opposition View – Arsenal

Giles Anyiam of the The Gooner Ramble answers our questions this week. How long have you supported Arsenal and what was the first game you went to? Since the early 80s. First game was Everton at home Littlewoods Cup (now Capital one) semi final 1988. Won 3-1 that night. Crazy atmosphere! Best and worst games

Five things from Villa (a)

Here’s five things from our first away victory of the campaign. Drop Gomis I have to start on a sour note. Bafetimbi Gomis was poor again, he was outmuscled and outthought too many times for my liking and of course he was caught offside three times needlessly once again. At the moment his performances are
