Clearly we're ready for the Prem again. Utd home or away would be a piece of pi88.

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
Seventy minutes of getting played off the park, twenty showing the fight and spirit you need for ninety. Chungey showd more effort and balls than the lot for me. He's the only one who is happy to run at them and we we're a bit unlucky at the end. Tale of the tape told a different story than the score. Lonergan made three brilliant saves but Oscar should never have been allowed that space to shoot.. Bottom line, talk of promotion is pipe-dreaming. We need to start all over again. We just weren't anywhere near the class the Prem needs. We'll be lucky to keep Chungy but I so hope we do. ...Could have been worse and a shame for the travelling fans who were great.

Thought we were in for a whipping. We lost to the best side in England with dignity.
Proud of my team for wearing the shirt with pride.

Methinks Chungy has put himself in the shop window on that performance. If only we had scouts watching all the time.

Shush man! If any premier league scouts are reading this, that was the latest in a string of top class performances and we won't take less than £5m for him!

A good effort. Resolute, lucky and spirited.
Let's hope we take some heart into Saturday's game.
Oh, and Chungy is comfortably one of our better players.

Technically probably the best player in the squad, in the Championship, lost and ineffective.

He's looked good the last few weeks in my opinion. Needs an overlapping full back so he can get inside and make things happen.Enoch wrote:Technically probably the best player in the squad, in the Championship, lost and ineffective.

A good description of him since arriving here. Swanseafans love him ... still. So he mmust have been doing something right. He's done precious little here though.Prufrock wrote:Can't wait till he's gone. Looks like a competition winner.officer_dibble wrote:Fck off pratley you useless cnt
But last night ... was he especially poor ??
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
I can't recall the last time anyone on here even mentioned promotion. Some think the squad's better than our league position, some might still think the manager's better than our league position, but it's been a while since anyone mentioned reaching the Premier League. Even SF, and he's convinced that once Freedman goes - and is replaced by Tony Pulis, Brian Clough, Hugo Meisl or Jesus Christ – everything will turn from cloud to sunshine and bunny-rabbits will jump happily across the pitch singing Hallelujah...TANGODANCER wrote:Bottom line, talk of promotion is pipe-dreaming.

As for the match last night, almost comical when it got up to something like 23-1 in shots and we were still level. Didn't expect anything better than a beating so it's a bonus to emerge without our arse hanging in ribbons. We've got a bigger game in West London next midweek.

And I'm proud of the EU!
From all accounts we were lucky not to have been 10 down by half time and Chelsea were cruising!

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
From the radio it sounded like a classic 'backs to the wall' performance.
I have no problem with this and according to reports we had a chance at the death where we could have taken it to exta time.
C'est la vie.
That's what makes football the great game it is. You can have all the pressure and a million shots on target but at the end of 90 minutes there's only one statistic that matters. Did you put the ball in the wee pokey?
What was the thinking behind the substitutions though?
I'd like to think Dougie say a way to exploit the bravado of Chelski by bringing them on to us allowing us to hit them on the break. I don't think he's that clever though.
I think he likes people to think he's clever and so brought of an attacker for a midfielder when we were a goal down.
If it comes off he looks like a genius if it doesn't them meh what the hell.
He's not the first manager to do this. Think Turnip Taylor swapping the boy lineacre for Smudger Smith and I'm sure he won't be the last.
To be honest he couldn't really go and win last night could he? If he had then that would have asked some serious questions about our current position.
Hopefully there will be a bit of a confidence boost amongst the players that will last up to an hour before kick off on Saturday when he announces that half of the players who did well last night are back on the bench.
I just can't get a settled side he'll moan.
Come on you Whites!

I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
Especially for Pratley? Probably not. Especially for someone whose job is football? Yep. Again. It's what he symbolises as much as anything else though. I'm sure he's a nice lad but I can't wait till he's gone!bobo the clown wrote:A good description of him since arriving here. Swanseafans love him ... still.

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
Whenever Tierney overlapped him last season I've never seen a player look as lost. Just stood there. May as well as have had his dick in his hand for full effect.boltonboris wrote:He's looked good the last few weeks in my opinion.

Re: Once more unto the Bridge dear friends...Chelsea..
Just got to see the highlights for the first time. Him as looks like Hugh Dennis ran us a merry dance, didn't he? 
Oh, and their second goal, whilst not undeserved, exhibited some appalling defending on our part once again.
