@Sparks Rover The Mrs has binge watched this over the past few days whilst on annual leave, she said it was superb Sparks 👍

Its a good story yes. PM'd you.

You do know we are owned and run by Venkys don’t you? Its not my fault or your fault, but those are the facts and we’ll never improve as long as they’re running the show. Unless they go up they’re not competing with us, that’s the point, we’re all also rans Rev.

You don’t find the Royal Family funny now? It’s of it time? Really Sparks? Its timeless, I grew up in that household, even the wallpaper was the same.....

Really? Lets just say they're all examples of how you can compete, I'll give you 20 teams every year that fall short in the Championship. The original point was, Swansea received £100m+ in 2018. We lost £20m+ in the same season, and even more after that. If you think we can compete at the same level as the teams coming down from the Premiership then all credit to you. Its the hope that kills you, if you're still living in 1995 or 2005.....

Do you think Barnsley will be playing Premiership football next season Hoochie?

Just watched a 30 minute tribute to Caroline Aherne, then an episode of the brilliant: ‘Royal Family - Wedding day’ on Bbc1 Absolute genius.

Swansea were relegated from Premiership on 2018, the money earned that season was around £100 million. For the next 4 seasons they'll receive parachute payments. In the same season we made massive losses of around £20 million, for the next 4 seasons we'll lose millions and millions more. Can anyone explain to me how we can compete with clubs like Swansea, Bournemouth, Norwich, Stoke, etc etc? Decent performance tonight, we could well have won, but the gap between Premiership and Championship gets wider season on season. Midtable is about our level.

Can I ask, have you renewed your security certificates gents? I’ve seen ads in the past swamping user access due to expired certification. Apologies for sticking my nose in.

Its the taking part that counts TS 🙄

An example for anyone not seeing them. I’m not complaining, if this is the new normal that’s fine, anything to support the site is fine by me.

Now thats funny 😂

Great track

I bet that sounded funny in your head.....Then you posted it.......👍 See you on the "what you listening to now thread" - Got a banger for you (Well not so much a banger, but great track)

At least he had an argument, your arse is full of splinters from sitting on the fence 😃

I'm not logging out, just using favs on PC - Chrome - more frequent ads that stop you moving forward until you click off. Apple phone - bookmarks - Getting them regular - selecting Forum - Again, ad stops you moving to forum until you click off.

Amen to that 🙏

Afternoon Mods, The adverts on the site seem to have gone bonkers over the last 48hrs, click the forum link, immediate advert you need to read/click before access. I understand the need to support the site, but is this the new normal? Thanks

You're quite right Riversider, Stokes is knackered, costing us boundary after boundary.

Pant(s) on fire.

India making batting look hard work, 400 looks a long way off 😄

It was doom and gloom after we got skittled over for 112 Jim, but we managed to repay the complement and had them struggling on 117-6 then 125 for 8, who would have though that? At that point we had a chance of winning the game after our awful batting display, but it wasn't to be and we'll got nothing out of this game now. The Ashes coming up in November/December.......

Thats the spirit den 👍 I said the same during the last game and we put ourselves in a position to win, so fingers crossed.

Extremely poor from England today, that pitch wasn't a mine field, it played like a normal track for most of the day. What was Zak Crawley doing dancing down the wicket? It set the tone, very poor indeed. India bat deep, they could get 400+ on this wicket and put this game to bed over the next 2 days.
