Anyone else think we will WIN!!!

McDermott said it took 12 games (after Gylfi left) to find a new way of playing.

And the table since then (game 16) is:

[Snowball]

Swansea lost 14 games this season we lost 9.

It will their 15th defeat of the season.

Amazingly, they've lost 10 of the last 31 while we lost just 4.

[Bacon Double Cheese]

for reasons that i cannot explain I shall be ahving a tenner on a 3-0 score to the royals

That'll be a fiver then.

[Royal Rother]

Not bad!

[The Prisoner]

Not bad!

Yeah! Let's make it bad!

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Had a tenner on 3-0 with Long/ Harte first goal for the first leg, and a back up on 3-0, just did the wrong leg.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Anyone know a good bookies for the PO final, want to do same again, but with best odds.

Worth going on oddschecker.com and seeing a) who has the best odds and b) who is offering the best free match deposit bets. I opened with Coral for the semi who were offering 40/1 on Mills first goal, 16 for Harte, which are both better odds than Betfair, plus they matched my £25 deposit with a free bet of the same value.

[Svlad Cjelli]

And if it's a bet to console if we lose, make sure you bet on final result rather than result after 90 minutes.

I'd recommend putting the free bet on Swansea "qualifying" as insurance! Put your own money on the fancy dan stuff.

[Ian Royal]

I think we will...or at least have a great shout at it. I think our recent trips to Goodison, Eastlands and Anfield will help us immensely in dealing with the pressure. Plus we are the more in-form team currently.

Depends how many games you look at.

We're certainly capable of winning, it's balanced on a knife edge and whilst possible, I think it's highly unlikely we'll get a thumping.

Please, just don't let us take the lead, only to lose again. I don't think I could take that a third time.

[Sarah Star]

On the other hand, I can see us come fighting back after conceding the first goal... obviously, on the day I won't believe it if it happens. Still had to watch it back on the telly after seeing us win at Cardiff (3-0 unbelievable!)

Yeah I hear ya Ian. Or if we lose on a fluke or a bad decision by an official. Actually the latter scenario would bother me the most. Can't worry about all of that...out of our control. All we are left to do is to urge the boys on like mad. I am cautiously optimistic whilst not being overly confident.

[The Cap]

I'll tell you what, I've never seen such a relaxed set of players as I did this afternoon.

Relaxed but very focused. Especially Griff. Let's just say you wouldn't want to fcuk about with him now, would you?

Well, except when having to drive their high-powered cars through a crowd.

Incidentally, I've been to first team games with fewer people than there were at the stadium to see the coach off. Not many and not recently, of course.

Well not many Swansea fans like you can.

[07RFC]

Game's tomorrow mate.

[Amongst the sheep]

That idiot, and I think you all know who I am talking about, is definately a wind up merchant & Swansea fan. Didn't one of their fans on a Swans fansite say as much i.e.that he had registered and would start to wind us up. Look at the date he joined and tell me otherwise.

[Royal Lady]

It's times like this that I REALLY think Graham should give Mods the powers to ban WUMs and Spammers to be fair.
