If i had to watch them every week i'd do myself in.
What boring farking football no wonder they dominate possession playing in their own half for 60 mins.

Yeah! I noticed that. Pretty but pointless, a bit like most celebs out there.

Dull football team, along with their fans for cheering it. It's defender to defender to keeper then back to defender when they get the ball.
They've been found out badly now and I doubt they will stay up next season. Overrated massively this season.

Rory to be fair I have to admire what they have achieved. I know they have not won anything, but they will be playing in the Prem next season.

Watched them a fair bit this season, poorest I've seen them. Graham's done alright for them, but a better striker and I reckon they'll do better

Watching them was like driving and being stuck behind someone doing 15 mph in a 30 mph zone. Boring as hell and frustrating as f***

They were playing like we were playing, before the Miracle of the Mackie v Liverpeople. Now lets
start playing like this away from home please.

Sooooooooooooooo dull, just like their gaffer mr personality himself...i nearly fell asleep in the first half, thankfully in the second half we pressed and pressed and they ran out of ideas...easy win in the end. would have been criminal not to have got 3 points last night. onwards and upwards!!

That style of football has prob kept them in the prem this year, their lack of real quality prem players is prob why they play that way, to compensate for lack of real class players.
They now have been found out and if they dont open the cheque book in the summer and get in some real quality, then they will do a Hull, or reading and back down in their 2nd year.

I was surprised that The Boy Vorm is unable to save shots to his Right, I hope fellow strugglers Blackburn don't find this out.
Seriously I think MH may have done his homework.

To be fair though, Swansea have done their hard work this season, they are safe and coasting to the end of the season. Our lot have only just woken up.

Alan Hansen must have heard the R block because he said they are like watching paint dry.

Swansea are a good team.
Like Andygg said, they've done the hard work for the season and they are entitled to be letting their foot off the gas a bit now. Hopefully they will get their mojo back and beat Blackburn this weekend. They are a much better team at home than they are on the road anyway.
I think they will stay up next season.

Swansea have played some exceptional football this season, people considered Arsenal to be a good footballing team but Swansea surpassed them. What we saw at LR was a very organised QPR team following a plan of action, so lets not take anything away from the Swans and instead let us credit MH and the players for nullifying the opposition and then getting into them and hurting them. If Swansea played poorly it was because we made them ordinary, took out their threat on the wings and every player stuck to his task and put in a very good performance to seal a much needed three points.

That goes back to that age old question that I can never figure out in football. If we beat a team, is it because we are playing well, or they are playing poorly. Sometimes this is an easy spot, for example with QPR v Man City earlier in the season where both teams played very well, but Man City edged it 3-2. QPR v Arsenal though - did Arsenal have an off-day or did we get our tactics right to nullify them?

Sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but always certain |
