Serves them right for fixing the fixtures.

Well somebody’s got to go down and somebody’s got to go up so someone will be laid off somewhere and others taken on somewhere else. That’s a consequence of relegation and promotion.

Lose their jobs? It was the hotel that cancelled our visit, not us.

Yep. Alan Ball was in charge of them at the time, May 1996 https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-england-mci-liv-matches/five-memorable-man-city-vs-liverpool-matches-idUKKBN16O1FL

You can try this but I think you need to sign up with them first at no cost: http://www.skysports.com/football/swansea-vs-soton/373404

Was that with a Micky Evans brace?

They’re not called the Welsh Marches for nothing

Well that’s annoying. I’ve just got back home and sat down to watch the recording of the match on my Virgin TiVo box and it craps out after 20 minutes

'Ohhhhh Guido Carillo' fits just as well

We also need a big CB to help the youngsters and pass on their hard-learned experience.

It depends on the club structure. In most cases the manager has his wish list and the chairman tries to accommodate them but he will also have his own ideas.

It couldn't be done. The window won't start until after the World Cup and then club officials will have a break. Most of these suggested departures would need to be replaced and that would give us a whole new squad but it would take a lot longer to turn them into a team.

Isn't there a minimum number of appearances needed in order to get a League Winners medal? Pep is good at man-management and has an air of sentimentality about him so if any of his players need one more run out then I would expect him to play them at some stage.

Yoshi has dignity and class. Much too nice to be a central defender.

Who or what is Natalie Imbruglia and which team does he manage?

Good to see him on the pitch at the end with the rest if the team celebrating in front of us. Suited, if not booted.

Never change a winning team, in principle.

I'd keep Long. Not for his goal(s) but for his harrying and pace. He made a difference when he came on last night.

Never in doubt. I don't know what all the fuss was about [emoji41] Long and Gabbiadini the difference. When they came on I realised that Swansea didn't have anything of the same class.

Nah, I'm sitting looking at thousands of 'em

We eventually ran out of luck.

The Stoke players will be out to impress future employers. 1-1 tomorrow and then we both draw next Sunday.

Nah, I can’t defend that, the ball is well over the line. It is possible sometimes to see some grass between the line and the ball because the far side of the ball can overhang the edge of the line but not in this case. Well out of play but to be fair this is not something that you see very often, if ever.

Nah, I’d never get on the pitch. The FA has spare officials these days

Thanks, I am going by train too and shall probably get there about the same time.
