I don't know much about Swansea, but the article really helped me to understand a little bit from their history and facts related to Premier League. Swansea City is a nice team which play defensive football but they need improvements in some positions. Hope to see them in the Premier League soon. Swansey is a other team from Wales in English Premier League, who played last season. I hope , what Swansey will be return in the Premier League.
I think Swansea will not be relegated next season,they are not having good time,but they can do it. Their defense led by Ashley Williams is so powerful.
It lays a solid foundation for their survival this season. I think Laudrupp should have stayed in Swansea. He had still so many new things to teach them. The problem is that in one moment they showed bad performances. Still, it was just a permanent form, not a reason for leaving the team.
This year they will have to strive to win a good position. That's the same question I've asked on 24 November see my comment above , and I still don't know the answer?
Jack Rich - any ideas? I think Gomis is an excellent player. Players often have dips in form and when it happens to a few players at the same time this has an effect on the entire team. It reminds me of a common football expression - 'Form is temporary, class is permanent. Nice expression, I've got it written down. I've also heard the recent news that Garry Monk had been reluctantly dismissed, although, IMHO, the blame for Swans' poor performance should not be fully put on him.
Let's see how they perform in post-Monk era. I'm not a Swansea City fan but i respest them as they played really good mtaches last season. With limited budget they reached maximum results and it's appreciated!
And they have a very good mix of players: Gylfi Sigurdsson, Ki Sung-Yueng and Andre Ayew, the latter being a big pleasant surprise for me this season. Real refreshment for the Premier league. The swans are making unique atmosphere and coreography.
I always thought that Cardif was only true representative of welsh football. How wrong.. There's Swansea FC and they are playing really really well.. Skip to main content. Google Tag Manager.

Some hope was restored for Reading when Joe Allen turned Jobi McAnuff's corner into his own net four minutes into the second half. Hope turned to belief when Matt Mills made it eight minutes later.
Swansea were on the ropes. After Jem Karacan struck the post, Monk made the block of his life to deny Noel Hunt when he looked certain to convert the rebound. Rodgers remains in regular contact with Monk, who had been battling injury in the lead-up to Wembley. Swansea's agony continued until 10 minutes from time, when Sinclair swept home his second penalty to make it With that, Swansea's year exile from the top division was over. They were the first Welsh club to reach the Premier League.
Swansea's success was all the sweeter because it had come so soon after the club had stared into the non-league abyss. Britton and Tate faced Hull in Monk, Williams, Rangel and goalkeeper Dorus de Vries played for the club in the lower divisions. Tatey was rejected by Manchester United, Ashley was working in a petrol station. Everyone was chasing the dream.
There was a poignant touch to Swansea's on-field celebrations, as Rodgers' squad wore T-shirts paying tribute to Besian Idrizaj, the young striker who had died in his sleep 12 months earlier. Then the party started, first in the dressing room and then - after Rodgers had stumped up - on the bus journey home. For Tate, by contrast, the journey home is the part of the day he remembers most vividly.
But even though we may have fallen out, we may have overstepped the mark, everything was worth it. That bus journey is the culmination of everything. Craig Beattie was an unused substitute at Wembley, but the striker came to the fore on the M4.
It was probably because it was Eighties music - every tune seemed the right one for the right moment. Twelve months after Wembley, Rodgers left Swansea for Liverpool. Despite being largely written off following promotion, his Swans side continued playing eye-catching football en route to an 11th-placed finish in their first Premier League season.
Swansea would stay in the top flight for seven years, having previously spent only two campaigns at that level in their history. But for Reading, but for Sinclair's hat-trick and Monk's block, that golden period may never have happened. It brought us to the Premier League, where we could bring our football and bring the city to the world, because Swansea is then renowned round the world. Tap into a heart-to-heart between Kevin and Stacey about persistence in the face of difficulties.
