Not a dig at our manager but a general observation... I noticed on Saturday at half time that all the Saints substitutes were on the pitch kicking balls about and generally chatting to each other - whereas as only 2 of the Swansea lads were on the pitch. This got me to thinking that the remainder of the Swansea subs were in the changing rooms listening to the team talk and tactics ? Just wondered what is the best system ? a) Listen to the gaffers team talk & tactics b) Kick a ball about Must admit I favour the first option....

The 3rd paragraph in this article could be described as harsh (if not a little funny) .... http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/not-only-did-gareth-bale-beat-scotland-he-beat-scotland-up.19138538?

Understandably wants first team action ... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8107106/?

Danny Baker (on his radio prog a few years ago) had an idea to stop teams "winding down" at the end of a season: Basically your 2 games over a season had an extra point on offer for the teams that win on aggregate over those 2 games. Not much chance for us getting it back from Arsenal I admit but could be very interesting come the end of the season........

He said: "If Swansea play the last game against a team and a third team pays Swansea to win the game, I really don't see anything bad about that." Accepting money to influence the outcome of a match is against Football Association and Premier League rules. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19667219 Personally I think this is an outrageous statement ... ps ... Can't see NC sanctioning this ;-)
