Who speaks French at Swansea these days?
at 15:44 15 Aug 2025

Gomis and Andre Ayew were good mates and French speakers. Both spoke English too.

Mallick was speaking French in the website interview and will speak English pretty soon. Aguero and Tevez never learn English I read.

Will Malick have any French speakers to talk to. My O level would not suffice.

It could turn out that one of the players were fluent but we just did not know it. Vigoreaux perhaps? Where is he from.

I did not get excited at this very much and probably have lowered my average speed while assessing the likelihood of a fine and points.

Besides o all that this guy has done a tremendous job of presenting the data. Graphs and data presentation of a very high order.

Are Swansea treading water ?
at 12:43 10 Aug 2025

Early indications are not good. The new players have not done enough in training to walk into a dull squad above the like Fulton and Cullen.

Exciting young talents like Parker Lissah and Wilson do not get a kick.

All these managers recently always have an excuse from Cooper to Sheehan. "I need a striker". Why sell Yates then?

Id f the club plays safety first dull football with average Joe's why not add Parker and Wilson and we can enjoy another mid table season but all r least see some development.

Cabango,Ollie Cooper and Cullen are in their mid twenties.

If it is a crisis up top.

No forward two sold one not really a no 9 and Kyrell Wilson raw and others even more raw.

What to do? Get a runner in. Pace eye for a goal available and cheap.

It has to be Jamal Lowe part 3.

This is the Resolven solution. A goal every 3 games over two spell.

Do British institutions work together for a common good?
at 15:37 28 Jul 2025

https://nation.cymru/news/plans-submitted-to-double-size-of-chicken-farm-to-6400

We have planning bodies The Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, Dwr Cymru, Severn Trent Water The Senedd.

As I understand it the River Wye has become biologically stressed from alkaline levels rising from bird guano. There are 60m chicken farmed along the Wye Valley.

One would have thought the bodies would work together during planning to limit these bird farms on the basis of pollution of our sacred water ways.

In this case Abermule is on the River Severn. Does anyone actually give a "flying guano"? .

The current objection is not the environment but road traffic matters.

The Wye Valley bird farms need to be relocated and proper guano management installed or mitigated.

We are paying a fortune for these bodies and they do not seem to care very much about our rivers.

A big test I expect English football to fail.
at 12:03 26 Jul 2025

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jul/25/west-hams-lucas-paqueta-expecte

The EPL seems very soft on gambling. This is extremely worrying as the whole game is based on the games being legitimate. To be fair mid table teams usually give a decent account of themselves in games that count. This competitiveness must be preserved.

It is clear the spiv and crooks are around the game but there have not beeb many convictions. Bannings are usually for drugs and off field activities..

I have no faith in the EPL on this. I am still astonished the ex player got away with admitting it and continued in the media for some time.

Trump is an idiot and bad for the environment

The Gulf of Mexico is heavily polluted from leaking old oil Riggs and the Deep Water horizon event.

There are hundreds possibly thousands of old rig leaking oil and particular gas. The oil men will never clean up after them and have cut and run. Trumps mates did real well.

Now he is going after wind and solar power.

https://www.eenews.net/articles/trump-is-escalating-his-attacks-on-wind-solar/

They say the renewables are subsidised. But so is coal oil and gas because their subsidy is not having to clean up after them ..We see this in Merthyr.

In UK K there are no plans for the disposal of nuclear wastes. Germany and Sweden have built big shafts costing billions to dispose of nuclear waste.

King Charles pay rise. Where from?
at 14:19 24 Jul 2025

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna163379

The King is due to receive a $60m pay rise this year. This rise is mostly for increased profits at the Crown Estates and most of the profits are from off shore wind farms.

A large percentage of offshore wind farms are in offshore Wales. We citizens have to put up with the turbines and pylons and the King pockets the profits.

The Senedd asked for parity with Scotland on this I but it was declined. Many Welsh people do not want to control their assets and the money goes to the south east.

I read that the King took 25% of offshore wind fees. I read somewhere ha had agreed a reduction to half that Offshore wind fes for England and Wales could be £400m with Wales perhaps 25% of that.

Cravatt and Cohen.
at 14:42 19 Jul 2025

The new owners have learned from the old owners and not made any pitch to the Swansea faithfull.

Levien and Kaplan did interviews and met with the Trust. It was a bad strategy. Fearing a bad reception for the fans they hardly ever showed up at the Liberty instead catching a few away games.

Silverstein came over and was very kind to the underperforming Trust and gave them £500k which they will turn into £400k in real terms in the next decade. He impressed me but was only given grudging credit by the fans.

Coleman breezed in talked the talk and lost a lot of money with Duff Williams and Watson. Watson looked as j if he was picked up from the job centre. He even apologised to some no name from the Swansea Trust breakaway group who objected to him sitting with an old workmate of his in a forum.

I hope the new guys make no effort whatsoever ever in buttering up the fans and the useless Trust other than creating a good exciting winning team.

They can then turn up at the stadium without concerns if results are not good.

£2 billion for an accidental security breach. 33,000 and their "family members".

My neighbour works in social services. She tells me the Afghans had a lot of trouble getting their family over. Their wive(s) and children. Did you notice the plural. It is actually supposed to be illegal over here.

Ethnicity is not just DNA . It is language, religion, art, politics social habits.

The Senedd for all its failing is a vindication of a separate history and culture.

This is what Brexit was about. Control of workers.

We.

The most pro Brexit areas were those areas which needed Migrant workers the most. Boston in Lincolnshire was often quoted with many European farm workers especially from Romania.

The British have voted to "take their country back". It has not really worked with Asian families of Hindu and Muslim faith replacing single young Christian Europeans.

Wetherspoons wanted Brexit a bit also wanted immigrants. What they wanted was to remove the rights of their workers.

A Czech worker could get sacked by Wetherspoons and get another job. The Indians now here replacing Europeans cannot find other work and are treated like dogs by employers if this case is anything to go by.

In Boston Lincs in 2015 in the Dog and Parrot a local would say to a Hungarian to piss off back to Budapest. The Hungarian would reply. " I am in the EU and have as much right to be here as you do sunshine". This did not go down well.

Now the immigrants need to watch their p's and q's. The English man is back in charge. This is what " taking our country back" . The Arabs do the same thing but much worse of course.

The man Bob Vylan poured scorn on this mentality in his electric set at Glastonbury..

The lady doing her job has been told " keep your mouth shut or you are on a plane back to Mumbai". Just like the old days.

She is following the Gaza issue and taking no prisoners.
She works as a reporter for the UN.

She is sanctioned by Trump and the British right wing press are going after her.

She has highlighted the Western companies finding the genocide. Good for her.
