It's the one where an opposition manager is talking about Cardiff yes. :thumbup:

Hard for a jack to grasp I know as it's basically the realisation that you actually support Cardiff and not Swansea, as this board is such an integral part of your life. Frightening I know, but the first step is admitting you are powerless over this Cardiff City board and that your life has become unmanageable.

Never felt the need to visit a jack messageboard, never mind comment 30 times a day on one so I put it down to you being a Cardiff fan on a wind up but nice try though it's cute. Roathie da uber troll yar. :wave:

A win today and i think he has the greatest points per game ratio of any Premier League Swansea manager, including the one who is about to win the Premier League trophy with Liverpool. All that with a squad that is about to play its 60th game in the coming weeks.

Out of his depth he certainly is not.

That's not true.

Rogers got 47 points in 38 games in his one season in the prem with swansea. Winning 31% and 12/38 games.

Monk got 13 points in 14 games so far. Winning 21% and 3/12 games. Another win = 28% in far fewer games too.

Don't let the facts cloud your judgement though.

That's nowhere near true.

Rogers got 47 points in 38 games in his one season in the prem with swansea. Winning 31% and 12/38 games.

Monk got 13 points in 14 games so far. Winning 21% and 3/12 games.

Incorrect.

Monk has 12 points from 11 games. Win today as he has 15 from 12.

Which is 47.5 points over a 38 games season which is more than both Rodgers and Laudrup. :thumbup:

Dont let facts cloud your riposte though :laughing6:

Its about points, not wins. You can win 10 and still get less points than a team that wins none.

You are entitled to your opinion, however so far - your opinion is wrong.

What would you rather, more points or more wins?

Yep more points, me too :thumbup:

As I said, you can win 10 games and finish below a side that has won none what so ever :thumbup:

A team drawing 31 games :lol: ,my opinion is monk is wrong choice and in time that opinion will be proven right,he's not got the experience,he ll struggle to attract the good players to sign for you,but if your happy roathie,that's all that matters :lol:

Monk has a 3-4-7 record so call that 13pts in 14 games. -2gd
Laudrup 29-24-31 so call it 111 in 84 games. +11 gd
Brendan 39-29-28 so call it 145 in 96 games. +30 gd

Absolutely. There have been many cases of teams finishing above another yet having less wins. Surely you understand points are more important?

WBA have only won 6 all year and fins themselves pretty much safe in 16th.... Fulham have won 9 and sit 19th. Who's season would you rather?

Rodgers was unknown before managing us, he did ok getting the players in. It is a privilege to play for Swansea, who the manager is isnt of vital importance :thumbup:

:? No matter how many times you want to state wrong stats, they are still wrong.

I even listed the games very neatly for you :lol:

He has managed us for 11 premier league games and amassed 12 points. Win today and that becomes 12 games and 15 points and will have the largest points per game ratio of any Swansea City manager in Premier League history.... Yet he has managed it with a squad that is about to play its 60th game in the coming weeks.

These are facts :thumbup:

I'm including all his games managed. :thumbup: Very poor stats when you take all the games into consideration, far behind the other two. :laughing6:

But as long as you like him and are happy that's all that matters. Good luck son.

Rodgers had vital connections to Chelsea and more vital their manager,where has monk has no coaching experience at any other club,his only connection is Rodgers,and did they actually get along?,as for a privilege to play for swansea :lol: ,that's another matter if opinion,I can see you give to cancer research roathie,if Gary monk lasts the full season next year,I ll increase the pot
