Newman better eat his hat this week?

I don't think he even remembers his remarks towards the Swans...

Hey Sammy,
Go and eat a @@@@@ sandwich, it'll go well with the egg all over your face. You jerk.

This is a first post for me and it took Sam Newman to trigger it (I have been a regular read of ROW, just never got around to registering and posting until now).

He made me do it too Matimbo! Cant believe how nasty his comments are. There was nothing wrong with our style of footy last night thats for sure. Everyone should email SHANES mail bag.

Opn mouth....................insert foot!

[sidswan]

Can someone post the address for Shanes mailbag? Thanks

Sam said our negative style of play was pathetic. That's true.

We played positively last night and moved the ball quickly.

Sam shouldn't have to eat his words, because we didn't win by playing the style of footy that he was bagging.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Pretty sure he said a lot more than that, actually.

You're right Robbo, I can't believe the stupidity of some of the postings on here. As I said earlier, Sam said what most people on here said about round 1, but because he says it they take offence.

For the record, if the Swans had played in round 1 like they did on the weekend, then Sam would not have said anything. To say saturday night proved Sam wrong is just stupid, because the style we played on Saturday night was not what Sam was bagging.

[Bloods05]

Don't disagree with him. I enjoyed watching the Swans in the early 90s more than I do now - and that was when we were getting belted.

This sums it up pretty well. Some people here would rather watch the Swans play "attractively" than win. Forgive me if I don't find that a compelling argument.

Sam wasnt just talking about Round 1! If he was, I wouldnt have bothered posting anything because yes, they played terribly, everyone agrees. However all teams have their off games. His comments are not warranted. Alot of the games the swans play are heartstoppers. Lets face it, Sam always bags the Swans. Next it will be Sydney only beat the Hawks because of their injuries blah blah blah.

All I can say is

GET THAT ONE INTO YA SAMMIE BOY!!

Absolutely right, Johnno. Sam's been bagging us ever since 2005 and predicts our demise every week/year. I suppose he works on the assumption that if he keeps saying it, one day he'll be right.

and another thing.... I have always believed in a certain 'conspirecy theory' revolving around The Footy Show and the Swans. I have believed now for a few years, that on this program, they always previewed the swans vs whoever game as the last game they would preview week in week out. Spend 30 seconds on it and say goodnight. This doesnt bother me as I live in Melbourne, but once I found out the show goes to Sydney, but very late, like the NRL footy show does here, and the melbourne footy show almost always rune 20-30 minutes over time, the people in Sydney dont see the swans preview until very, very late, possibly 2:00am(ish). Always felt this was done deliberetly by Eddie and Channel 9 cause of his hatred for us. Even when they seem to doing games in order as they appeared on fixtures, even if the swans were playing on a saturday afternoon, it always seemed that they were previwed last.

I never kept a tally, but it felt like it, and was one of the reasons I gave it away a long time ago. There were, of course, other reasons.

Surely this is a mistake after his outburst on the Footy Show and tipping the Hawks.
