I think we aquited ourselves well today in a game that could have turned out to be a nightmare. That game went across the world and we mixed it with the best. Proud to be a Swan 
Absolutely! We had them on the ropes in the second half and what a goal by the man Michu.Promising form and lots to look forward to on that evidence - even Pablo had a good game!

What's the gossip? Is the Beeb summary of Huw cutting ties with Laudrups agent a fair summary?
The gossip is that Tutumlu is a t
t and has put phantom st in the press to get Huw to unshackle the moneybags to buy a load of players that Laudrup wants / Tutumlu is agent for.Laudrup has apparently told Huw he wants to remain as manager anyway.
It's not looking like a marriage made in heaven...
Latest rumours are that Laudrup has turned down a 1 year contract offer from PSG - should he even be talking to other clubs without the Board's permission?
To be honest, for me his position is now untenable. I have sadly lost a bit of respect for the man as he seems to have lost a lot of respect for the club and the fans.
If he was intent on honouring his word he would be getting back to Swansea quick-sharp for a press conference with Huw to set the record straight.
Instead he has been in Mallorca with his agent and then flitting around France.

Quite 
I watched Vitesse play in the gelderdome. He is impressive to watch, very strong player and everybody knows about his right foot. I said at the time he should come to us, didn't think it would happen though.
Indeed, fingers crossed.I watched Vitesse play in the gelderdome. He is impressive to watch, very strong player and everybody knows about his right foot. I said at the time he should come to us, didn't think it would happen though.
In other news, looks more likely Shelvey will be joining us in lieu of the outstanding payment of £5m owed to us for Joe Allen.
On the face of it not an exciting signing, but the guy has tons of energy, stamina and a little bit of bite our midfield has always lacked. When you consider the long season ahead of us with European football I think it is not a bad move to bolster the squad - plus he is young and home-grown.
Lots of positives to take from the game - Canas was good, Shelvey direct, Bony got in good positions and scored a neat goal.
Also some worries. Yes RVP is arguably the best player in the league but our defence looked like they had never played together before. Perhaps gave Utd a bit too much respect again.
Anyway, we won't have to play against a strike force like that every week!

My post from another forum:
Lovely to be able to watch the Swans on TV regularly whilst living in S.E. England!
A few observations:
- Shelvey could be the real deal, but I stress the could. His range of passing is something we have not seen at the Swans before but he needs to stop going missing when the heat is on.
- Bony is really cr*p isn't he. I mean, he has played four games and scored four goals and already I can see he will not work for us.
This was a response to a few posters on said forum who were criticising Bony for his hold up play!
- Agree with all comments about Hernandez - exquisite one minute, frustrating the next.
- Taylor / Britton / Ash / Chico faultless.
Now not wanting to be blasphemous or too critical after a 5-1 win BUT, and I said this last season, what has happened to the old Michel Vorm? You know, the one who against Man City two years ago would have had the reflexes to even attempt to keep that goal out?
Might get slammed for this too but not convinced by Michu's overall performances recently - he seems to be trying too many clever flicks and tricks that are not coming off and forgetting some of the more simple things. Can't fault his work ethic though which has been 100% for 90 minutes.
Roll on Sunday!
