I've watch most of these in the past but gave up because it's too hard to hear the questions. You'd think the people uploading the press conference video would know this, so I can only assume they don't care to fix it. Seriously, how hard could it be to hang a mic over the reporters and feed it into the recording system? Turn the sound up!

Must save all the charisma for the team talks our les he'd challenge dario gradi in the interview sleep time challenge That was a long 10 minutes and 10 minutes i'll never get back Yeh, much better if he'd spent the 10 minutes telling us how wonderful Swansea are because they won the South Wales Cup in 1922... Nice to see you all positive after 2 consecutive wins, just been reading all the praise in your posting history, absolutely gushing... Must be really upsetting for you that our bad run of results is over, you can't wait for the bloke who's delivered 3 seasons in the top ten for the first time in our history to go, what a pisser Plenty of tickets available for games on a regular basis at The Hawthorns I gather... Season started 9 games ago not 2. For the first 7 we achieved as predicted and the cause? A shit preseason by design. Preseasons are there for a reason, so are the first 7 games.... Or am i mistaken?

So the management team saw a problem and addressed it, but that's not good enough for you it seems? What d'you want them to do now? Buy a Tardis? Keep blarting on the sidelines whilst the majority of us watch possibly the best array of talent we've ever had at the club, mainly down to MH, 'cos there's no way on God's green earth they'd have pitched up to play for Toxic (rofl)

I'm guessing they do but they've earned the right to manage the club and team as they see fit in my eyes, better results, better football, you may have noticed there's only you and a couple of others still whining? Haven't you any other straws you can grasp at?

I am hard of hearing and I struggle with most television if I can't get subtitles, turning things up louder doesn't work as it distorts the sound even more. There are solutions where you get the sound straight through to you hearing aids but I don't like wearing those things.

Its an issue that needs addressing, I doubt very much that the club behind closed doors are quite so relaxed about it. You have to be constantly looking for avenue's of improvement not patting yourself on the back and this avenue is so wide its nearly a motorway.

We could of finished 6th or higher last season if we were in shape ready for the first game

That's 3 press conferences since Imbula completely left out of squad - I can only assume that the people posing the questions have been told NOT to ask about Imbula as surely that would be the first question you would want to ask - very strange He's already done interviews about Imbula. No point asking the same thing again, is there? I asked Angela on Knot FM why journalists don't ask the questions everyone wants the answer to. She indicated that the Stoke Press Office tells them in advance what subjects they won't discuss. What a joke.

If you're missing Toxic he's not too far away, and just signed for another season too, thank fuck.

I don't think anyone has swept it aside lightly but it's done now, or are we going to whinge about it all the way through this season until there's a chance to do it differently? That'll help, I'm sure of it. Or shall we approach the league and see if they'll give us another shot by starting the season again?

That'll help, I'm sure of it. Or shall we approach the league and see if they'll give us another shot by starting the season again? We started the season 9 games ago, last season should of been an eye opener because we give up as soon as 6th wasn't going to be doable and went on our holidays when in fact the theory is we start slow to finish strong, the biggest load of tripe known to man that theory is. So what do we do this season? Exactly the same. Let's say for instance Leicester had that same theory, would they have won the league? Not a chance. If we had a decent preseason last season we would of had early points on the board and the lads would of kept on pushing for 6th right upto the death and more than likely got it, all a designed slow start achieves is giving your competitors a head start. A club like Stoke designing a slow start to the season is laughable, more laughable is the thought that it's needed at all, afterall last season we had 25 senior pros in our squad, to suggest we can't compete a full season with 25 senior pros and needing a slow start to come on strong at the back end is ludicrous. How do you think clubs like the usual top 4 cope with extra champions league games thrown into the mix too? They can't afford to get fit for 7 games that's for sure. Furthermore if starting competitive games half fit for 7 games is any good for coping with muscle strains & injuries etc then I'm Nelson Mandela. Last season certainly proved it was in no way shape or form beneficial to the fitness of your squad that's for sure.

You've even got poor tactics, a better strategy would be to chuck your wet clothes in a dryer to avoid doing any ironing. I dont even own an iron and i dont leave the house with creases

I don't iron clothes either, as I said on a thread regarding the subject on here a few weeks ago, waste of time, like your whinging :)
