Worth watching if you don't know the club's history, how we went from being sold for 1 English pound to the Premier League in 8 years.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I watched the first half on TV and then found the second half online. Incredible story and I think I have found my EPL team to support.
Have you seen their kit reveal video? I think it's in this thread somewhere. That video alone made me decide to jump on the Swansea City bandwagon.
I have. Not a big fan of the home kit though. Guess I'll have to get used to it.
RE: OT: The NEW Official Soccer Thread - DowdyPirate - 08-16-2015 07:53 AM
I guess you take the draw there, but we shouldve really won. Should've been 3-1 up at Half if we just finished

I'm talking about the over the top setup to such a plain kit reveal. I mean, if you're going over the top for THAT, I can't help but to get on the bandwagon.

They ran a short version of that video like 4 times during Jack to a King Part 1 yesterday. I'm not going to understand the excitement of the color stripe we use on our home white, but to the Welsh, that's a big deal.
Swansea was huge in the copper mining industry in the 80's. Once they had mined most of what was available in the area, town almost went bankrupt. That entire area has had to survive.

Hey now, the Home white is Classic. They've been wearing that color at home since the club started long before any of us were even born. They won't ever change it.
Since so few PL teams wear white at home, we don't have to wear our road jersey's as often. That's always nice.
As for the film, it does a very good job explaining why the club is the way it is. The 2nd part for those who are waiting till next Saturday spends a lot more time building our style of play through Roberto Martinez, which came when we were in League One. Essentially, the club was saved by its fans.

Roberto Martinez the EPL's Skip Holtz?
Good job (Swansea/ECU) - Bad Job (Wigan/USF) - Good Job (Everton/LaTech)

Considering Wigan is sitting in League 1 right now, my guess is there are some things going on there that is not his fault.
Though most Swansea fans hope he fails at Everton honestly. When he left, and it's sort of discussed in the documentary, he basically implied that he wasn't sure Swansea could get into the Premier League, much less stay in the league. A lot of bitter feelings remain from that.
RE: OT: The NEW Official Soccer Thread - FastTheo - 08-16-2015 04:52 PM
Pleasantly surprised by BVB on Saturday. 4-0 against last season's #3 team is a great start. As for the championship, Anyone But Bayern!

I like the white and the Swansea logo. The "24h.hk GWFX" I had to google to find out who the heck the sponsors are. As far as the film, I like the first part the best as the second seemed a little rushed. At times I couldn't really tell what league the team was in at that particular time. Overal though, great story and good film. It sold me on Swansea City, well that and my last name being of Welsh origin.

All he has updated is the Bundesliga, but that it not how the scoring system works.

Read what? So, getting the right number of goals for a team is worth the same as predicting the correct result? LOL. BearcatMan, is that the same way you did it?
Irregardless, he said he's only updated the Bundesliga since the EPL week isn't over yet.

The post that has the scoring system on it. I hope you don't have to be walkthroughed like this in the workplace, or you better start lining up some applications

"Walkthroughed" -- nice word. That ECU edumacation, though. I'm not going to go comb through pages of this thread to find the scoring system, I was always just under the impression that he was going to pick up where BearcatMan left off under the same format.
You're the genius that is counting up your points for Arsenal, Man U, etc., whenever he distinctly said,
