Edited by omnidroid70

Consensus amongst rival fans (not just this Swansea lot) is that we'll finish 4th; anyone else think that would be a major disappointment/failure from FSW? Ending behind the Manchester clubs is acceptable/expected, but with our squad we should be comfortably ahead of the clubs going for 4th (Spuds/Arsenal/Everton/Liverpool), especially with the "top manager" we now have...

I was going to post something about it possibly not being a good idea taking the piss out of the opposition's supporters (although that was funny) when we have a "Chat with the rivals" thread open here, but having just seen the Chelsea digs in the thread in their forum, f**k em!

Here's the answers guys.

 

1. How do you think Swansea have fared this season?

 
Plasticman-Awesome
 
Magic Michu-Better than expected after a change of manager and losing 3 key players. Laudrup has quickly made us a solid mid table team capable of a cup run

 

lifelongswansfan-Very well, very satisfied with our progress.
 
Senhin-Better than expected once again.
 
Sullyswan-Very Well
 
2. Do you think that Swansea could contend for Europa League spots this season?
 
Plasticman-Since we're in the semi-final of the cup, I'd say we already are contending for a spot in europe.

 

Magic Michu-Too soon for a Europa League spot via the league but will enjoy a soiree into Europe next year if we can get past you boys

 

lifelongswansfan-Possibly but being realistic mid table would be a very good result for us.

 

Senhin-Not in the league, but via the Capital One yes.
 
Sullyswan-Not this year
 
3. Who do you think will be the biggest threat to Chelsea?
 
Plasticman-Chelseas owner
 
Magic Michu-Roman Abramovic
 
lifelongswansfan-Michu.
 
Senhin-In what way? Taking third over you? Tottenham.
 
Sullyswan-Michu
 
4. Who would you say has been your best player so far and why?
 
Plasticman-Obvious Answer: Michu
 
Magic Michu-Michu... did you really need to ask that?

 

lifelongswansfan-Again Michu for his predatory instincts.
 
Senhin-Michu... Do we need to explain?
 
Sullyswan-Michu
 
5. Are there any players that haven't been getting the praise they deserve this season? 
 
Plasticman-All of the players, really. They are playing above what have been expected.

 

Magic Michu-Leon Britton will never get the praise from the media 
 
lifelongswansfan-Our young full back Ben Davies doesn't get as much praise as he should, he's had a brilliant season so far.
 
Senhin-Everyone other than Michu... We never get praise when we beat a big team because we're welsh and the media doesn't like it. The big teams always seem to miraculously play badly against us.

 

Sullyswan-Ben Davies
 
6. Do you think Michael Laudrup is doing a good job so far?
 
Plasticman-Manager of the season material, imo
 
Magic Michu-No, he's been terrible
 
lifelongswansfan-Yes.
 
Senhin-Hell yes
 
Sullyswan-Fantastic
 
7. What would you say your chances are in the Capital One Cup?
 
Plasticman-Good
 
Magic Michu-If we can get a draw away then I fancy us to go on and win the cup

 

lifelongswansfan-It's going to be difficult against you, but if we can get a good result in the away leg we'll give you a good run for your money

 

Senhin-I'd say it's us our you.
 
Sullyswan-Winner of our game will win the cup
 
8. Where do you think you'll finish this season?
 
Plasticman-Top half of the table
 
Magic Michu-Between 8-10th
 
lifelongswansfan-Mid table.
 
Senhin-10 or 11 if we don't get a good striker in this window. 7-9 if we do.
 
Sullyswan-12th
 
9. Moving on to Chelsea... How do you think we have fared this season?
 
Plasticman-average
 
Magic Michu-A great start but things have faded badly... too much meddling from above I feel
 
lifelongswansfan-Reasonably I'd say, with the squad you have you should make the top 4.
 
Senhin-Inconsistently. You started out like you could challenge for the title, then went on a poor run, now looking quite good again but think it's too late to look outside of Manchester fr a winner now.
 
Sullyswan-Superb Squad, best is yet to come
 
10. Do you believe we are overachieving or underachieving in our current 4th position?
 
Plasticman-Neither. You're playing second fiddle to the manchester clubs, which isn't a surpise

 

Magic Michu-Probably about right
 
lifelongswansfan-That position is about right.
 
Senhin-None. I'd say you should finish third, but there isn't much in it.
 
Sullyswan-About right until you get rid of Torres
 
11. Who do you think will be the biggest threat to your Swansea team in the upcoming game? 
 
Plasticman-Chech, so hope he won't be available against us

 

Magic Michu-Mata
 
lifelongswansfan-Mata.
 
Senhin-I'm tempted to say Ba, since he's the type of striker that usually gets by us, but Mata probably.
 
Sullyswan-Mata class act
 
12. What is your opinion of Juan Mata and what do you make of the form he has been on recently?
 
Plasticman-no opinion
 
Magic Michu-How did you know I'd answer Mata to the previous question. The boy is a bit good, isn't he?
 
lifelongswansfan-I think Mata is a brilliant player, one of my favourite players outside of the Liberty.
 
Senhin-Obviously a good player, and probably your best, though my personal favourite is Oscar.
 
Sullyswan-As above
 
13. Where do you think Chelsea will finish come the end of the season?
 
Plasticman-around where you are now, unless your owner continues his irrational behaviour, in which case I see a sliding downwards spiral as a possibility

 

Magic Michu-4-5th
 
lifelongswansfan-4th.
 
Senhin-3rd
 
Sullyswan-3rd
 
14. Finally, predictions for the game?
 
Plasticman-small victory to either side, but can't really see any favourites here.

 

Magic Michu-1-1 at Stamford Bridge, 2-1 at Liberty

 

lifelongswansfan-Difficult to call, as I've said if we can hold you in the first leg we could beat you but it's going to be difficult.

 

Senhin-Honestly not sure. I have a sneaky feeling we may win, but I may be confusing that with hope lol.

 

Sullyswan-Close defeat for swans
