Hey can someone please tell me the words to the Stephen Welsh chant from tonight and the Adam Idah chant (the waka waka one)?

Cheers

Vipi on the bench. Cabango not in the squad...fingers crossed on that one.

Swansea City winger Zeidane Inoussa is poised to join fellow Championship side Portsmouth on loan for the remainder of the season.

b BK Hacken for a significant fee last summer.

The former Sweden Under-21 international scored once in 29 appearances during an injury-hit first season at Swansea, where he is under contract until 2030.

Following the additions of Moussa Yeo and Joseph Opoku this summer, plus the imminent arrival of Manchester City youngster Jeremy Monga, Swansea are willing to let Inoussa depart.

They are also keen to offload Florian Bianchini, who had a disappointing loan spell at Portsmouth last season, while there has been speculation over the future of fellow wide player Ronald.

Top of the league which is nice but interested if any stats boffins know what the underlying numbers are saying about our performances so far? I saw the home game against Shef Utd and thought we looked pretty timid. Long way to go in the season but I do believe Matos is the man and recruitment has been strong.

Tonight is my first home game of the season. I usually park by the ground, but I see we have lost that space now.

I was thinking of going to the Wellington Street park and ride. Does anyone have any experience of this one?

Multiple ITKs are now alleging that Coulibaly FAILED his Swansea City medical. If you want to believe the same ITKs, this has bigger ramifications beneath the surface news.

The rumblings that Vipotnik was off were tied to the Coulibaly transfer, with the striker set to head to Strasbourg. That now appears to be dead and buried.

Bullet dodged IMO.

Half joking of course, but i thought he looked far more comfortable in his role and was back to the improving form he had the tail end of last season. Nice to see him have a shot on target from distance, not seen enough of that so far considering it was one the calling cards of his stint in Denmark. Big endorsement from Matos in essence keeping him ahead of Walta, so here's hoping he finally breaks his goal hodoo and starts becoming the player that made his international debut at 23 years old.

Stephen Welsh top 3 ball-playing center backs to ever have touched a football

An impressive away victory for the Swans in the first analysis of the season.
