Matchday 1

[RossFC]

If we sign Baston, will he be ready by Saturday?

Sign him now and I think he'd be an option off the bench.

 

[go you pups]

So pumped, bring it on.

I'm not ready

Break is too short IMO with internationals going on also

 

[moomba]

Been waiting for this since about half way through last season.

 

[chef]

Been waiting for this since about half way through last season.

Me too.

 

[go you pups]

Funny how you lot who's team you support had shit years and you're all raring to get back into it

Then I support a team who went strong for 35-36 weeks but ultimately fell short, yep not ready for it yet lol

Guess once CL comes around I will be into it

 

[Cruyff14]

Dr_Wenger suits Cruyff perfectly.

Still waiting for all those times I've mentioned Wenger recently.

And you're a horrible WUM.

Well to be fair you were impersonating him on the podcast.

And lighten up a little - I was joking about the nickname!!!

 

[jod23]

Meh

Van Helsing, Lecter and Frankenstein are in there

I've always found this funny how people think Frankenstein is the big monster with a square head and bolts in his neck. But he is Frankenstein's monster. The bloke who creates the monster is Dr.Frankenstein but it's always amused me how in pop culture this has been turned on it's head.

Really? I'm keen as ****.

It's just too bad that I'm going to have to sit through what will be a shower of shit at the MCG on Saturday at 2:10 before I get there.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Gonna be relying on streams this season. **** you Optus.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

You're more Zidane06 than Zidane98 WC

 

[Latro]

Dont know if I can be bothered watching Arsenal.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I am torn. Have a phone contract expiring soon (and have B/Day cash that'd make it easy to pay out). Could just renew as they've been pretty good or could defect to Optus for the EPL which is a free add-on until Aug 22.

On the other hand I could just say **** you Optus. I guess I've got this Matchday to find out what the illegal stream quality it like, the friendly v Inter was decent for me, decent picture quality and no buffering (shouldn't at my speed anyway). If it's shit I may need to consider Optus.

Either way **** you Optus.

 

[jod23]

My mate has Optus all set up at his joint and he's a huge Red like me, so I'll be round his place for every game this season.

 

[DBAH0]

NBC Sports over here, nice to have the games on at 9AM as well.

I do it most of the time

If your mate gets Fetch mini he can share his login with you to watch live games at the same time too if need be

 

[Tigersfan35]

Baston is showing great potential and I think he will grow to be something special at Swansea.

 

[SM]

Pretty pumped. Can't wait to see our protests against those ****s. The football should be ok too.

Expect no shortage of eyes as the season opener as well, what a way to kick things off.

Protest march to the ground, continuing protests outside the ground throughout the game from those priced out of attending.

Inside there'll be red cards again before the game, and at 19:04, and for the rest of the game loud, positive singing in support of our players.

Wait, you mean this will be sighted again?:

Ha, 19:04, I geddit. Well, best make sure we score around that mark then (as noted, I think you guys could hold us for 60 mins, though an early goal will ease the nerves.

To think we're going to be playing 2nd fiddle in this match, and here I thought we could see the new flashy badges and our first match as defending champs in the league.


This will be very interesting to see how this all pans out. Any idea on the expected attendance for this game? Full house protest, or will we see some empty seats to make a statement?

Think it'll be around 22k.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Think it'll be around 22k.

Hmm, about 88%, poor by PL standards where clubs should be expected to sell out, but to be expected when one is staging a protest.

Just to take it a step further, are your lot going to be making many trips around the country for games, or is it going to be a near empty away section? What about future home games? Expect it to decrease as the season goes (unless positive action is taken).


Oh, and since I forgot to ask: How was the FFA Cup game?

We will sell out all our Away allocations I think, a lot are boycotting home games only.

Haha I was just down the pub watching it, not actually attending, that might have got lost in translation. Was good to blow off some steam after late work nights!
