If you get relegated you deserve to go down

Post by Spijed » Mon May 01, 2017 7:58 pm

Obviously that's the case but Swansea fans are whinging that the result at Man U. might have cost them a place in the Premier league.

We've had our fair share of good and bad luck during the season, same as everyone else.

They weren't moaning when llorente pushed Mee to clear the way to head the winner at their place.

The league table never lies.

If Swansea go down they need only look at their goal difference as proof of where their deficiencies lie. Sixty nine goals conceded, -29 GD. Most goals conceded in the league and the worst goal difference.

Yes they could have got 3 points but for Radford cheating.

Then again the blatant push on Keane in the opening game should have led to a penalty and a draw instead of a Swansea win.

I think they call it swings and roundabouts !

To be fair that was awful yesterday and with video technology that would have been sorted in seconds - plus with a rule change of a straight red card for the diver it would soon stop.

They bought their way into the Championship when they didn't replace Ashley Williams adequately.
I hope we don't fall for the same thing with Michael Keane.

Any PL club who appoints Bob Bradley is asking to be relegated.

They've made some bad decisions, ever since parting with Gary Monk.

I forgot that happened.

What on Earth were they thinking.

I think we've already replaced Michael Keane, and Saturday's performance didn't put me off that thought. What we need is to replace the centre half sub.
