Samurai Blue Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, nldowl said: He said Swansea are underdogs in the competition not specifically in tonight’s match... so at least quote accurately. Both you and @OWLSTALK are right, really. I always go entirely by the source material and not the journalisitic hyperbole. CC was talking about being underdogs in the FA Cup as they have been all along (according to him), but by inference yeah, that means this next match too. Now if you'll excuse me I have several splinters to remove from my buttocks and a flight to Geneva to catch. http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11268841/carvalhal-swansea-fa-cup-underdogs Edited February 27, 2018 by Samurai Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The physiological breakdown from this quote is interesting. He's almost making his 2nd string team at Swansea seem inferior, just as he did ours and our Under 23's. He's telling his rotational players, they're not good enough to be favourites, so he either gets a reaction from them tonight or can still walk around smiling and grinning, in the knowledge he was correct all along...

scilly owl Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There’s only so long that Carlos can get away with this “aren’t I endearing with my cute accent and nonsensical fairytales” cr*p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 This site been obsessing over Carlos since summer 2015..His suits, his hair, his eyebrows, his negativity/positivity, his metaphors, his pre match press conferences, his team selections, his supposed blagging, his fitness regimes, his coaching techniques and his flipping suits. Can't flippingwait till tommorrow so we can at last move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlinexile Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 What even is the point of a club like Swansea (or Wednesday come to that) if they don't take the FA cup seriously? Is it just a perpetual sisyphan relegation battle until the end of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll all end in tears AGAIN This. I think they may start to get the picture sooner than we did about old Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighworthOwl Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I will be pleased when this round is done and dusted so we can all move on. That being said I would love for some of the fringe players we now rely on and he admitted he could not motivate tore Swansea apart tonight.
