Stadium rebuild
at 13:28 13 Sep 2026

35,000 capacity, seated and standing areas with Bundesliga style pricing at £20. River taxis up from the Swansea Jack or get off at the newly refurbished Landore station into the fantastic fan zone where beers are £3 a pint. Kit priced at £25 with Swans tops as far as the eye can see.

I can dream.

The impact of this window on our existing players has been great. Ronald, Eom, Fulton, Key all stepping up their performance. We genuinely have players to cover every position and not lose too much quality, except decent cover for Tymo. I'm trying to decide on my starting 3 central mid and struggling a bit. Although, I would like Just to increase his work rate and strength a bit if he's going to play that role.

I agree. For the first time in a long while, we have a number of players capable of really chipping in on the goal tally. I also take your point about Stamenic earlier in the thread. I would love to see him driving forward and getting a shot away on a regular basis. He all the attributes needed.

I totally agree. The question we should ask is not what the political party of the left or right might do, but what is best for the majority of people in the country. Like in all walks of life, extremism is the problem.

Sensible capitalism and sensible socialism (I don't think any form of communism is sensible) should be the way forward. They can exist together if not taken to the extreme. I've seen great examples of capitalism in some sectors where the market really does drive down cost and improve service and I've also seen excellent models of socialism where the state is heavily involved in the provided service or production of goods. The best union model I saw was in a private French company where the union rep was a board member and everyone had a vested interest in the long term success of the company, not just quarterly profits for the shareholders.

The problem we have here is that we lurch from one extreme to the other every 5, 10 or 15 years with FPTP. Perhaps PR is the way forward where the extremes would be negated? I don't know the answers but I do know that whatever your political persuasion, things have been pretty crap for ordinary people in this country for a very long time.

Decent first half, played some nice stuff and deservedly ahead. Just got to make sure we don't let them in down our left side.

you're a beaut aye.

The biggest ego on the site is talking about egos! I'll decline the offer of your course on this occasion, thanks though.

Back to your point, I don't think right wing are buggers. My friends, family and colleagues come from all over the political spectrum. I don't like using the terms right/left wing because I think people should think as indviduals first, not follow a line because their political belief dictates that they should. I only tend to use those terms in response to them being used first. I wouldn't class myself as particularly left wing. I have a set of values borne out of my working class roots from which I tend to see the world including equaity and fairness.

Let's be honest, you, and one or two others, don't like it because I sometimes try to challenge the prevailing narrative on here or offer a different opinion based on facts not rhetoric.

Anyway, looking forward to the football.

Ciao for now!

Oh the irony.

My only mention of right wing was to respond to the OP and to illustrate that even the Daily Mail have distanced themselves from Danny and the boys.

By the way, here's Katie Hopkins explaining why some people may have a problem with Shabana Mahmoud. True patriot, our Katie.

Just on immigration, net immigration down, boat crossings down, asylum hotel use down, increased action against people smugglers, tighter controls on legal immigration, improved co-operation with European partners, implementaion of visa restrictions. By any objective measure she has been more successful that any recent Home Secretary, certainly more effective than Braverman and Jenrick (as immigration minister). The problem is not many people are objective.

You make a good point about dementia. Recognising it is the first step to getting the help you need.

Leave my bedroom? The usual guff from the usual suspects. Yes, I see what’s going on in the country very well thanks but I don’t just watch GB news on repeat and think that’s the whole truth. I’ve also seen the impact austerity and Brexit have had on our current situation. Have you had a sniff of the barmaid’s apron tonight? Your unusually poor spelling would suggest so unless you were so angry tapping out a response your fingers turned into pig's t@ts.

The phrase ‘use all necessary powers’ is a pretty standard phrase used by politicians in these sorts of situations. Th idea that it is synonymous with encouraging police to ‘steam into them’ is ridiculous. Why is Shabana Mahmood a disgusting piece of work? The slightest bit of research will demonstrate her success in reducing immigration as well as notable other achievements since becoming Home Sec. Doesn’t fit the narrative on here though does it

In terms of the right wing claim.They’re even too right wing for the Daily Mail ffs! 🤣🤣 I’m sure Danny and all the other true patriots behaved impeccably and are genuinely concerned about the welfare of our mothers and daughters. In the meantime, he can count the money he’s earned from foreign agitators whilst taking his black clad patriots to protest outside the Daily Mail for publishing an address he himself put in the public domain.

Perhaps you can provide Swansea Council with a list of approved protests that are acceptable to you.

Farage hid a £5 million “gift” (n/t)
at 01:10 26 Jun 2026

I'm not a fan of Farage who's just a grifter but do you really think Yusuf is less posh, arrogant and smarmy? I don't know about psoh but he's the personification of arrogance and smarminess!

Do you think austerity was a good idea? We're still trying to recover from it. It was an ideological decision not an economic necessity despite the narrative from Cameron and Osborne. There was also a huge political cost to Nick Clegg personally and the Lib Dems collectively as a result of them being in coalition at the time and the decisions they were part of.

Farage hid a £5 million “gift”
at 15:26 25 Jun 2026

Jumping on? The other morning was the first time he's faced the media since the 'gift' was uncovered and he had an absolute nightmare. Not least because of the fact that he gets stroppy at the first hint of any kind of scrutiny. Nick Robinson did a good job of questioning Farage's stance on crypto after his £5 mil bung. He's pretty much got away with it compared to the grief Starmer got for some glasses and suits. Ben Habib's accusations about Farage and Johnson have also been ignored by the right wing press and media.
