Flynn Downes has served Swansea City with dignity and distinction from the moment he arrived to the moment he’s deservedly moved on to the Premier League. Very sad to see him go but wish him every success at his boyhood club 👊🏼
It was hard to accept when your cheating robbed Swansea City of a deserved FA Cup semi final place. No wonder you don’t like VAR - it threatens your constant successful diving. Glad you went out, it provides some cold comfort after you profited from cheating.
A heartbreaking result after all the hard work we've put in to get the qualification.. Really hard to accept but we can still be proud of what we showed, how you guys supported us and how our hearts beat as one for this club.

@IanMitchelmore
do me favour fella, don’t ask Cooper any questions at all in the post match interview. Let him sit there totally bored for an hour - then let him know that’s exactly how the supporters feel when watching what he’s serving up
I’d just like to thank the criminal justice system for helping
#wales
qualify for the World Cup by keeping Ryan Giggs on the sidelines throughout the qualifying campaign 👨⚖️👍🏼
For anyone lauding Jenkins as a hero for standing down just remember this: if he and his sell out crew had kept their voting rights instead of selling them to the Yanks, Jenkins could have teamed up with the Trust to curb their excesses without the need to stand down
In amongst all the euphoria of yesterday’s performance and historic result, just a well deserved tip of the hat to the media team at

Attending my first

Looking forward to a beer with

first though 🍺🍻
If you are as old as me and you went to the Vetch then you’ll get this entirely from our former goalkeeper Mike Hughes ❤️
If you were too young to have attended the Vetch, this is why us oldies still miss it, ramshackle though it was!
#powerfulpost
We made three signings before and now three more signings since Martin’s arrival. Oh, and Grimes is still here. I maintain that Cooper bailed out of cowardice, terrified HIS side would struggle this term and therefore reduce his reputation. Didn’t have the guts to back himself.
Ethan Laird becomes Russell Martin's third signing at Swansea after joining from Manchester United on a season-long loan deal.
He is eligible to be included against Stoke City tomorrow night.
He will wear the number 27 shirt.

I’d feel bad about us robbing you blind on the fee but then I remember that you’re a bunch of whippet worrying skanks who tapped up Martinez, his back room staff and the targets he’d scouted on our time! So screw you, basically 🖕🏼

All the best to you at

If you purport to be a Swans fan then you should like this post. Every single Swans fan, young or old, owes a significant debt of thanks to Mel Nurse, without whom Swansea City Football Club wouldn’t exist. Like the post and show Mel the love 🖤🤍
Happy 86th birthday to Swans legend, Mel Nurse! 🎉
Mel had two spells at the club, winning the Welsh Cup in 1961 and earning promotion in 1970. He helped save the club in 2002. 🖤🤍
No way is that a penalty and normally I’d feel a little embarrassed - but we’ve been done over this season at times and it’s fucking Stoke so I’m absolutely fine with the it 😎
There could be no better tribute to the Jacks that tragically passed away than that dogged, determined, glorious victory! Maybe a touch of divine intervention at the very end with Firminho’s header onto the post? 😇
Whatever happens from here hats off to both sides for an absorbing, thrilling encounter. This type of contest has been all too rare at the Liberty over recent years
#swalee
Latibeaudiere dropped at the very last second due to the discovery of Wyndham in the commentary box? Nobody wants to hear Wyndham trying to pronounce that surname 😬🙉
Thoroughly gutted. Not so much at the relegation but at the way it’s come about with a bunch of profit driven American imbeciles at the helm, a group of spineless, average players, all supplemented by the most sickening greed from the sell outs that brought this sorry end about
Carlos the JACKal is literally bat shit insane. His team selections have a hint of Clement with a large helping of Bob Bradley - BUT HE MAKES THEM WORK!He’s a perfect fit for us right now and if the club backs him over the next week he could well pull off another miracle survival
I’ll tell you now, this was Huw Jenkins’ bitter, petty revenge for Rangel being critical in the press and saying the Swansea Way had been lost. That’s Jenkins all over - a petty man always out for revenge against anyone that criticises
Magnificent goal, wonderful counterattack, unbelievable score line.
I want us to hold on to this if only to shove it down the throat of that Millwall player that disrespected us and slagged is off.
This is why we love football.
This is why we love the Swans 💖
#STID
Make no mistake there will be games like that we’ll lose throughout the season due to the lack of experience in the squad - but wins like that can be priceless for confidence and a steep learning curve. Huge effort from our side and I only want to applaud them this evening 👏🏻
We’re coming for you, we’re coming for you,
@PaulAbbandonato
we’re coming for you
And you’ll deserve it as your pathetic abuse of your position in what is supposed to be the “national” newspaper of Wales to troll Swans fans merits you getting it back in spades today 🖕🏼
Thoroughly deserved that win - fair play to Cooper for the radical changes, all credit to the players for totally outplaying Cardiff and standing tall against their ugly long ball/set piece game. Oh and welcome to Jack folklore Ben Wilmot 😍
#SWACAR
Not going to grumble this evening, I’m just going to reflect on a superb performance by Dan James 🤔😎Could and should easily have had a hat trick of assists at the very least. More game time for him this season please, Mr Potter 👍🏼
Watching Steve Cooper’s first press conference as
@SwansOfficial
manager and I like what I hear. It’s clear that he has a commitment to the sort of football I...WE...want to see at the Liberty. And there was no bravado about him, no big promises. Let’s all give this guy a chance!
My thanks to

Whilst Cooper has done a good job in difficult circumstances I find my ❤️ heart a little lighter at the news of his impending departure. Deep down I was dreading another Swans season of his timid, defensive, turgid, negative “style”
#swans
Shame the club itself didn't recognise that and dignify the man an answer when he asked about a new contract. The people running Swansea City are ignorant, arrogant men without a shred of integrity. They make me sick to my stomach.
We’ve smashed Birmingham in the nuts and totally stolen a point off them. I’ll take it...but that performance should be a stark reality check for a Board that simply MUST back Potter with some loan signings now. Or else.
In amongst all the euphoria of Wales scoring what I love is Ben Davies pointing to his head be telling those around him to keep theirs!! Such an important and experienced presence 🤩
So I’ve had to miss the last two home games...and we go and beat Liverpool and Arsenal 🙈 I think I should stay away for the rest of the season and guarantee we stay up!!
Maybe the whole James deal was our way of spying on
@LUFC
- let him have a medical and then sit there in Elland Road for 5 hours gathering intelligence
#covertoperation
So, phase 1 of
@the_scsa
was quickly setting up the social media presence and getting some early articles done. Spectacular success ✅ Phase 2 begins tonight with our media interactions - watch out for interviews on ITV & Sky tonight!!
If fighting for our club means being embarrassingly honest about my own failings then so be it. But make no mistake I am fighting back for the club I love 👊🏼
…
Wilmot signed, Scott appointed and one Ayew flogged off the books - this all means I get to write another positive article on

@TerrySinnett
You’ve already forked out £45 - would be tough to fork it out again. Let us sort it for you - and then just tweet us a photo of your son in his new shirt 👌🏼
Busy old morning working on turning this into a pin badge - plan is to produce a couple of hundred and sell them with all proceeds going to our Jason Bowen “Bang Em In For Bowen” campaign.
So…would YOU buy one?

Sat here with tears streaming down my face, battling the biggest panic attack you can imagine. I try to avoid ever sharing like this when it’s happening and I’ll regret the embarrassment of this mo doubt. But it’s my way of saying FUCK YOU

What a performance by Wales!! And what an advertisement for

youth development with Ben Davies, Dan James, Joe Rodon and of course

Big shoutout to

warrior Keiffer Moore too 👏🏻
I’m exhausted so just a quick holding tweet - £1,100 spent on new toys for the Children’s Wards playroom. 4 trolleys and a GO KART! A further £100 will spent tomorrow to buy emergency baby changing mats as the ward doesn’t have any at all & a further £200 for baby stuff to come
The last thing
@JasonLevien
and his slimy cohort Kaplan want is to see the Trust tripling it’s membership and moving aggressively towards legal action. Boycotts are fine...spending a tenner to join the official pressure group is better!
If you want to protest against the owners of
@SwansOfficial
in any way then just simply join
@swanstrust
. If you’re already a member then simply work to recruit more.
The Trust is THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN to fix our club through the ownership issue
New Year, same old Leigh Dineen...washing his hands of all responsibility for the disastrous and potentially illegal sale of the club whilst portraying himself as some sort of hero.
The man disgusts me to my core 🤮
So
@ManCity
offer £55m for Mahrez on the day they spend £57m on Laporte. If accepted they will have spent over £100m in one day...Hartlepool could go out of business for the sake of 200 grand...sums up everything wrong with the game today 😞
Fantastic day spending loads of money at Smyths, filling the play room at Morriston Hospital with brand new toys - this is what
#atfvfundraising
is all about! Lots of photos to…
Swansea oh Swansea oh city said I, I’ll stand here on the north bank till the day I die, take me to the vetch field way down by the sea, where I will follow Swansea, swansea city x
We haven’t changed or improved from last season - but with the loss of Wolf and Christie we have regressed. Joe Allen on his own won’t lead to an improvement. Worrying signs 😬
@swanstrust
If only you hadn’t sold out and turned the Trust into a “Supporters Club” - they will just laugh in your face as you ask your “questions” and you’ll roll over when they threaten to withdraw your privileges. Oh, and maybe answer the questions YOU have been asked first!
It’s Three Men & a Baby Abbandonato 👶🏻
I couldn’t resist putting this together after yesterday’s result - and I’m gonna have this put onto a mug and give it away as next issue’s competition prize!

As I’m such a “snowflake” I might as well say this...(almost) all of my followers that I talk with regularly I consider friends instead of “followers”.
I lost it last night but you all kept me from dwelling and sharing your own stories was appreciated.
Thanks everyone
Fascinating listening to Potter's first
@SwansOfficial
press conference - he's comes across as a confident, astute but very grounded young man. First impressions are incredibly positive for me!
I’ll take the point. We simply weren’t good enough to make history. The biggest thing for us out if that game? Cabango laying down the gauntlet to the new centre half loanee Guehi. Tremendous performance from our own youngster.
Spent some time talking to Steve Kaplan & Jason Levien, Swansea's owners, this week. They held their hands up to a “very poor” summer window & promised to improve recruitment, but said criticism about a lack of investment is unfair:
Well I thought that was a bit harsh on us 😒 Still lacked quality but showed some desire and could have got something out of that second half. I won’t grumble about our side if defeated in that manner
I’ve got no opinion on the penalty whatsoever. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. We’ve got no complaint after not turning up against one of the worst teams in the division. We deserve nothing less than what we’ve just got tonight. Fucking shocking.
Good work bringing this quote to everyone's attention Mars - in fact it's out of this world! Nailing the sell-outs with their own buttock clenching hypocrisy is the way to go...
Brings back horrible memories for me. Watched my mother undergo unsuccessful attempts at resuscitation for more than an hour - it’s perhaps the worst experience of my life. Actually I’ll correct myself - it IS the worst experience of my life 😞
The only saving grace about tonight’s result - I bet everyone of those sell outs’ arseholes is twitching like Herbert Lom’s eye in a Clouseau film. They know their greed, deceit and incompetence has brought this down on our club.
Steve Cooper would have been well within his rights to walk out of his latest press conference as the execrable Gareth Vincent did everything possible to try and get a “juicy or controversial” comment re the Cardiff game. It’s BRENTFORD next you pathetic wetwipe.
If anybody following me thinks it would be a case of “all sins forgiven” if Jenkins found someone else to buy us off the Yanks he inflicted on our club then please feel free to unfollow. Believe me it would be better for both of us.
So I was in the Curt Lounge for the game tonight (long story). The best thing about it was the chance to talk with Brian Flynn about Lenny Johnrose. He spoke with such admiration and fondness - think we both ended up with a tear in the eye 😢
Welcome to
