#jacksathome I’ve been away - keeping track of the Swans matches though. The New Delhi Jack even managed to show the Swans 3rd kit at the Indian Premier League Cricket. Here’s hoping for a flourish to the end of the season to set us nicely for 26/27, when I’ll be back in the UK.

8 Premier League games have been played this weekend so far. There has been a goal in the first half in 2 games. The style of football in this league is the most unwatchable ever. So boring.

The Premier League is boring. Arsenal, City and now Liverpool have ruined it, essentially they have F1’d the game. The data tells them to horseshoe the box, don’t take risks, play percentages and win set pieces. There are no personalities anymore. All boring athletes. The Championship is far more entertaining. I’m all for the European Super League, let them have it and the Prem can go back to being affordable and exciting.

THE DEATH OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE Three simple and obvious things have contributed to the decline of the English football as we know it What used to be the most entertaining league in the world is now an absolute bore and this is why 1) PEP GUARDIOLA • His robotic style of football is one of the biggest contributing factors. The keeper passing it short all the time has been copied by the entire league. Players no longer taking long shots or shall I say scared to shoot has also been mimicked by all. Wingers running down the wing only to turn each and pass the ball backwards every time is really frustrating. The sooner he leaves the league the better 2) MIKEL ARTETA • Educated in the “school of Pep” has taken Guardiola’s robotic football state and taken it to another level. Every time his team have a set piece it results in lots of time being wasted and an absolute free for all in the box. It’s got the point where I’m expecting Hulk Hogans music to hit. The constant cheating and diving to time waste is also a major concern. Now other teams are doing the same resulting in a snooze fest. The sooner he’s gone the better 3) VAR • Now this one has taken the heart and soul out the game. Yes it leads to the correct decision most times, but it has taken the “anything can happen” factor out the game. A goal goes in and nobody even knows whether to celebrate it or not. Decisions taking to long to be made and incompetent officials who clearly don’t know what the game has killed the enjoyment for all the fans Now I can’t see VAR being eradicated from the game but I’m truly hoping PEP & and his former protege MIKEL are gone in the next 2 years max SO WE CAN GO BACK TO ENJOYING WATCHING FOOTBALL AGAIN

#jacksathome - we won’t go down but will we go up? If we’re going to flirt with the play-offs , then it’s games like this that we MUST take 3 points. I’m ever hopeful - C’mon the Swans. 2-0 to us today.!
