Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City manager (on comments regarding Victor Moses):

"I spoke about how I felt at the time about Victor Moses and the situation it was. I think it, like I just said, it was plain for everyone to see and everyone had their own judgements but, for me, it was very, very clear and I stand by my comments."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City manager:

"No, that is great. Listen, the whole point being is that I am very passionate about this club, I am very passionate about my players and when I feel there is an injustice against us it is my job to stand up to it and say how I feel and represent the club properly and in terms of..like I said, there have been a number of situations that have been leading up to the decision that happened against Stoke and I felt at that point that it is the right point to stand up and view our concerns as to what had been going on. So, it is great to have support. I said before, it is there and it is very plain and simple for everyone to see and people have their own judgements on it. It is very clear. And, like you have just said there to a number of people - it is very very clear as well so, like I said, it is up to everyone else to make their judgements but we are very clear here."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City manager:

"That is his (mark Hughes) view on the situation. Not one that I really applies to myself in terms of what I said. Like i said it was very very clear what was there and what was presented and what was said. To me it seems very clear so, i feel that i have done nothing wrong. I feel that i tried to represent the club properly and myself properly and the team properly and that is how I felt.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Garry Monk, Swansea City manager:

"No, it is very important. It is a big game for us. Like i said there we have now gone five games without a win, which is statistically that is what everyone will look at and I understand that but within those five games i do believe that we have been pretty harshly not to have picked up more points but it is what it is and we are five games without a win and we have to make sure that Saturday...come Saturday, in front of our crowd and in front of the Liberty stadium that we put on a performance that can hopefully warrant three points."
