WILL SWANSEA REACH WEMBLEY ON WEDNESDAY

If you are honest with yourselves the hard work has been done and Swansea should finally make it to a cup final.

But if you lose on Wednesday and didn't make it, it would be very embarrassing for you considering he position you are in.

Well not really, it's a two goal lead, people lose 2 goal leads in a single game never mind over two legs. Chelsea's most recent game, two nil up and drew two all. It happens all the time, and it wouldn't be embarrassing to lose 3-0 to Chelsea considering that the squad that they have, even with Stoke's great home and defensive record they managed to beat them 4-0 recently.

We're favourites but it's far from over. They'll throw everything at us and it will be a very difficult game.

Yep, 8/1 to win the comp, £20 on. Only time in my life I've wanted the jacks to win.m

love this champions of Europe tag....yeah they are doing a great job in Europe this year fair play.

Are they or are they not european champions

No mate that's Spain. What you've done there is get an area of west London mixed up with a large country in Southern Europe.

I know your thick but chelsea are the european champions(club football) but don't act a complete fool.

Hook, line and sinker. You've had a right 'mare there son.

Just pointing out you cardiff fans dont know what you are talking about..

And you did so by failing to grasp the concept of self-deprecating (google it) humour.

But if you lose on Wednesday and didn't make it, it would be very embarrassing for you considering he position you are in.

We lost 3-0 at home to Middlesbrough, 3-0 home to reading and lost 5-0 on aggregate to west ham.

Somehow the prospect of losing to Chelsea who are the current European champions by 3-1 who would go through on away goal is hardly an embarrassing scenario. A likely scenario more than an embarrassing one.

I see the jacks on this thread preparing the excuses already

Don't think away goals count in this competition!

do away goals count

I think they have just peaked, if they lose this 2 nil lead, I can see the slide begin, a bit like the to,e we beat Leeds in the FA Cup, it was steadily downhill from there.

None replying to Laudrup to leave, they know he will they have been there before, it must be terrible supporting such a small town club knowing that every time they appoint a successful manager, a bigger club like Wigan will take them

do away goals count

Away goals will certainly count, but I don't think they count as double like they do in a lot of European Cup competitions!

Yes they will but if they somehow managed to lose I would piss my pants

I see the jacks on this thread preparing the excuses already

it's called realism fella but then again i've read some of your up-dates so that word means feck all to you

It'll all depend on if we keep Demba Ba quiet or not.If Benitez picks Torres then we'll go through comfortably i reckon and if he picks Ba then it's squeaky bum time.They play Arsenal later and a few injuries wouldn't go amiss.

All wrapped up in a nutshell...All I will add is that this is the type of thread that will give everyone on here a good laugh on Thursday if Chelsea pull it off! It's strange but I was far more relaxed about the play off match with forest when we came home at 0-0?

Yes, lets all laugh at Swansea for hypothetical future scenarios that may or may not happen

Yep.Chelsea away from home can be devastating so i'll be taking nothing for granted and in my head it's still 0-0.i'd hate us to just sit back and invite them on for 90 minutes.

Only if scores same after xtra time ,not 90 mins does away goals count

Only Chelsea can win on away goals now... Took me a minute to get my head around it.

i see the club have taken heed of your formula for signing strikers and are close to bringing in someone who has scored bog all goals this season so far al

Those threads prove nothing, are you saying there was no bust up between senior players and Laudrup at the start of the season ?

You should stay off Twitter,Carl.Which is where you get all your info from nowadays and more often than not the wrong information.If someone on Twitter said there was a bust up with Laudrup then it must be true eh

All looks a bit silly now though,Monk started again yesterday and we won.Not bad for a team that doesn't get on with the manager is it?

Depends what team Rafa plays. He's not played Ba today, so that would mean Ba plays in the week?

Most jacks I know don't want Europa league anyway!

My point is how you keep on thinking it's going to collapse, and how that's come to bit you back in the past, so you should probably learn from them (it's not really directed at your post, more so the one who believed that we're going to miraculously collapse from Wednesday).

We've got less reason to collapse now then ever before, it's not like the first time we rose up through the divisions. We've got a better infrastructure (new training ground, new academy and hopeful of a ground expansion), more supporters (plastics and foreigners or not), better finances (especially with this new TV deal kicking in next season) and a better team (not only in quality but in quantity) than ever before.

I don't believe there was any bust up between senior players and Laudrup at the start of the season, although neither me or you know whether there was or not. I don't believe that if there was a bust up, that the amount of senior players that have signed new contracts would have and that the amount of players that previously played for Laudrup would have spoken so highly about him and been so keen to join us as a result. Laudrup is a fantastic coach, and the results are there to show that he's a positive influence and has improved us as a team in so many different aspects so if there was a bust-up then I couldn't care less.

The real question is will swansea sell there allocation?

Played stoke yesterday in the prem, and couldn't get 20k in a stadium with 21k capacity.......

20k capacity.
