I just stand up for victims of bullying. Aye, CT and Deano were your pet projects. They were the bullies.

And that's what makes him such a good poster... Not disagreeing with you in the slightest tho! Like when he said he knew that we'd be turned over to the tune of big numbers against Spurs yet in the prediction thread he'd picked us to win. Love it.

Doesn't make sense to rush anyone back too early - particularly, whilst Williamson and Perch are doing a good job.

Thing is he was 100% accurate with those comments. The re-birth of Perch has been something of a phenomenon with absolutely no sign that it was coming.

You may be right, it's been a good season for them on the whole, but for all their possession they score precious fuck all which to me would be like being married to Jessica Alba but never being able to seal the deal. Sure, it's nice to look at, but sooner or later you just want to score.

Are you a pro footballer? Replace the word pro with rubbish and you'd be closer to the mark. I realise my comments sound like the normal clap-trap you hear from players, but the reason they say that is because it's drilled into them by management. As supporters we can make as many predictions as we like but all I am hoping is that our players take nothing for granted and continue to take their current level of enthusiasm into each and every match.

Great that this is a tough choice for all the good reasons. Krul and Colo were the core of the side so critical in laying the foundation for our great start to the season, so it would have to be one of them. Most likely Coloccini.

Just need to focus on each game as it comes. Worry about our own results and we end up where we end up. Europa is a fantastic result, Champions League would be out of this world. One game at a time.

Tell me about it. Must be frustrating being a Swansea supporter.

Just finished watching. Fantastic result and great team effort. The finish on the second goal from Cisse was divine... Quality passes from Cabaye to setup the chances. We're in some fine form, long may it continue.

is that a dance act? Why aren't you like this all the time?

I think we should keep him and have him and Santon competing for the right back spot. I'd also say that he deserves a new contract. He's got his problems, but he's committed and has a good injury record. For what we paid for him he's been great value.

Steady on, didn't realise the Perch family all posted here. It was ordinary defending he came across towards the ball but was never going to get it, didn't know what to do so did nothing that's the worry. He should take confidence from the rest of his game but my point here is that we should never have to look at using Perch in central defense. You're also not right about playing him wide, the nearest 4 outfield players were in black and white and if played wide Krul wouldn't have had to come off his line. Krul started coming out the moment Carroll cut back inside Perch. Agree to a large extent that we shouldn't be worrying about what ifs, but there was no what if to Perch being breezed past - it happened plain as day.

Two washed up defenders I couldn't care less about. Just watched it again to confirm - Perches defending on that play was ordinary, he had the time and positioning to keep Carroll wide, but came across and failed to stop Carroll going right by him towards the centre of the box. He didn't actually do anything just ran briefly between Carroll and the goal, Carroll touched the ball on and it went between Perches legs without the defender making any attempt to stop it. Now I don't expect Perch to be positionally the best centre back out there, but had Andy Carroll not had a brain explosion they would have been 1-0 up inside 10 minutes and Perch would have been partly to blame. You can take that however you want it. Perch went on to have a very good game and has impressed with his effort.

Perch was worse in the Norwich game. If Andy Carroll wasn't a complete and utter spazz it would have been a different story for old Perchaldildho - the way Carroll went by him like he wasn't there was embarrassing. He went on to play well in the rest of the game, but as a centre back all it takes is one moment, one lapse in concentration, one bad decision to turn a match. Imagine Carroll had scored, it could have been a completely different match.

I would happily bet on Barcelona -4 aggregate over the two legs. If anyone could suprise Barcelona it's Chelsea. As they're the ones playing them.

You're probably right, he's a bit of a crock. Last game was for Hungary against Bulagaria on leap day.

STOP the PRESSES: Ignorant American is Ignorant.

Not be shite. He's been not shite when played before TBH. Must be a shithouse trainer or something. I'm beyond hoping for Kadar to be included though, patently not going to happen despite him becoming a mainstay in the powerhouse Hungarian national side.

The rest of your post talked about our squad shrinking over the summer, so why is it that you expect it will grow in the following one? Regarding the bedding in of players if the continuing pattern is to buy, develop and sell then we'll never have our whole side bedded in. I'm not suggesting that we'll have a squad that's capable of competing with strong sides both in the Europa and in the League, but if our team can qualify for Europe I'd welcome it with a big smile and open arms. Could we be better prepared for it? Of course we fucking well could, but there's never a guarantee that we'll make it in the following season - anything could happen as we all know. It really doesn't matter if we get knocked out of the Europa in the early stages. It gives us a chance to give some fringe and youth players some valuable experience. If our league position is severely compromised by our Europa league participation then it's a case of poor prioritising by management.

If Chelsea win I'll eat my hat* * If I'm wearing one at the time.

Statistically speaking with three more appearances to his name Routledge can boast one additional assist over Obertan. Both have scored a solitary goal, Routledge has 4 assists Obertan 3. Routledge has 2 yellow cards compared to Obertan's 0, probably because Routledge has a heart.
