Saunders is a Swansea boy, he's chuffed.
I like this. I agree - it really is time for us to finally win something. 2008 was a long time ago.
I worry that we may end up like the exciting Leeds team that looked like they were on the verge of something special (in the league, in Europe) but sadly still have to look back to the 70s for their last trophy.
Of course! That fantastic team captained by Gordon Strachan. Didn't they get promoted the season before? PerhapsLeeds won the league in the 91-92 season.

Think it's Chelsea's title to lose now...
Hopefully they will drop a few points and make the race a little interesting.

Still think we will do it, plenty of football to be played between now and the end of the season. A draw away at City will not define our season in any way. Despite their lead, and I know many will disagree with me, I really don't think Chelsea are all that and are very beatable. Their starting fullbacks are Marcus Alonso and Victor Moses. Gary Cahill and David Luiz start for them at centre back. They have been well beaten by three of the top four already this season and gaps of this size have been overhauled from better teams than this current Chelsea side in a far shorter time frame in the past. If bottom of the table Swansea can go to Anfield and win, then Chelsea can drop points over the rest of the season.

7 points was the margin with Leicester for most of this timeframe in the season and Chelsea's team squad is far superior than theirs.... Incidentally when people say we messed it up last season it always winds me up as it's factually inaccurate, as Leicester never gave us an opening to mess it up. Leicester never dropped the requisite points to allow to top the table.
And it's going to be more than 7points by this time tomorrow.
Title race is over and I'm not bothered that the rent boys will win the league.
