Really nice that, and without bringing this thread round to the same thing that's going on elsewhere:

 

You need to be able to manage at least three or four systems. It has nothing to do with betraying your principles.

made me laugh the bit where xabi tells carra you were the loudest player i played with

 

xabi says we were 2 nil up at west brom the game was won and arbeloa tries to dribble out with the ball and loses it next thing carra roars eh you arbeloa you are not maradona

Remember those nights we had? We felt we could beat anyone in Europe. Winning in Istanbul was beyond my dreams

Xabi seems a top bloke. Good to hear he's doing his coaching badges. That's some list of managers he's worked under.

Yea I was looking at that - that's a hell of a list. No wonder he's become the player he is today, with guidance from that lot.

Jaysus. They are good memories. Try to keep them that way

we've played loads of different systems. even think we've used different approaches. certainly over his career, there's a fairly stark difference in the way swansea went about things, and how we did it last year. maybe it's more a question of players and the sense you can make of them for him. lot in place at swansea before he got there and pushed it on along the same lines.
