Do find Swansea fans unanimous verdict on him leaving a bit concerning.

He’s exactly what we need and evidently a good player, but we ought to temper expectations a bit.

I’ve seen the vast majority absolutely gutted. They’re even making compilation videos.

I don't get all the shit Andy Turner gets for this sort of thing. He's got an in with the club, if he goes leaking anything official, he loses that privilege. They'd have given him confirmation, then he posts. He posts some clickbait nonsense, but that's just the industry now

It wasn't. One team went up one didn't, one goes though to the next round, one doesn't. Champions league finals and World Cup finals have been won on pens. Key word.. won.

Which is part of the game in knockout football. Didn't realise it was so hard to give an answer on who won.

If it's part of the game why was Man U's GK yellow card not counted in his accumulated total?

You're trying mate you really are. Never known somebody so desperate to say we didn't win a game.
Teams often approach knockout games completely differently. The objective is to get to the next round, that's it. We got through, we won. I guarantee everyone at any club that's ever won anything on pens counts it as a win. You crack on though.

I reckon Gimoc is one of those blokes that pays for a hooker to repeatedly kick him in the bollocks

The guy just seems to love getting mocked and abused

He should just not respond to people who post critical responses to his tweets at least not in the way he does, instead of saying 'grow up' he could have said something like 'if you get any information before I do I'd be interested to hear it if you can identify your source so I can verify what you say'.

He doesn't have to respond to any of them in the first place.

Assuming Sheaf and MVE go in the summer.

keep bta
Loan out Bassette
Get rid of Collins, Tavares, burroughs, JDS, Binks

Get in a new RB
new LB
Extend Allen’s contract a year
New CM
New RW
Big CB

and go again for another year

I'm not desperate at all. I know we lost the cup final, because we lost the penalty shoot out decider, just as, in seasons gone by , we could have lost the match by losing the replay, but we would still have drawn the first game

At some point, King is going to have to stop losing his best players year after year. We need to progress. Losing 2 of MVE, Sheaf and Wright would be a disaster

Don’t knock it, I say. Not as good as your sack being pinned to the floor by a stiletto though.

Because we’re potentially the only club in the top 2 divisions who have to rely on outsiders to get any info about their club.

I’ve worked for two national papers and if a paper sports journalist at either of them went 5+ years without an exclusive he’d be fired.

If it was my job to report on Coventry City I’d try to do it as well as humanly possible. That involves getting exclusives and breaking news. Not sitting around waiting for someone else to do it for me.

I'm not sure they care now. They just hash some tweets and give it a misleading headline to get people to click on it.

Quite right. We didn't lose the game, we lost the tie. It was decided by a tie breaker. Penalty shoot outs are merely tie breakers in cup competitions.
This isn't hard or pedantry it is just a fact.

But you know what would get even more clicks? Being the person who breaks the Matt Grimes news.

Lampard confirmed in recent interview we were looking to recruit more for u21s didn't he? Think he was asked off the back of us being linked with couple of non league players.
