        Correct. We were on the beach for almost 3 months - an astonishing achievement (n/m) (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Apr 26, 20:52:17

        Yes. But that one match was the ONLY scratch on Lambert's record in 3 unbelievable years (n/m) (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Apr 26, 20:56:13

        yes but it was always followed up with a positive performance. (n/m) (Other Football) - lovely old job, Apr 26, 20:59:20
        
        that's true - but I think that was also largely true under Hughton (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 21:03:16
        
        No. we went on seemingly endless winless runs under Hughton (n/m) (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 26, 21:11:02
        
        Compare that to the run of 1 win in 17 was it? last seaosn unde Hughton (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 26, 21:02:31
        
        loads of draws in that run though - always keeping the points ticking over (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 21:05:25
        
        yep 1 win 1 draw in our last 9 games... 7 relatively easy ones 2 tough (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 26, 21:10:25

    - Doesn't matter if it catches up with them next season. Win the league, he gets a free pass (Other Football) - thebigfeller, Apr 26, 20:42:27
      - I find the BR hate ridiculous... great football for both Swansea and Liverpool (Other Football) - phrankin, Apr 26, 20:51:41
- that would be mildly amusing if we were safely mid-table (n/m) (Other Football) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 20:34:41
  - It's still funny (n/m) (Other Football) - loz, Apr 26, 20:36:57
