Yay

 

You do realise that it's only your excellent reputation that got you the extended time..? [<- been dying to use that one]

 

I had left it for someone else to do! But I thought I should make one now, we're getting close to Sunday!

 

Nope. You carry on. Cup match losses don't count. Did you not know that people have been calling for you to make a match thread this week..?

 

4-0 Saints (tempting fate!).

 

With their biggest goal threats gone i can see us winning this 2-0 if the defence decides to not muck about. Pelle with both.

Lawro backs us at 2-0. Mark Ronson predicts a sneak Swans victory. Shame, I always liked his music. He's dead to me now.

**** these Sunday games though, Sunday is a working day here!

 

Bit of Fighting Talk there James? I think Ronson is well wide of the mark. We're about due to give someone a right doing at home and I think it might be the Swans. >4-0 for me.

 

With you there HB. 4-0 with a Pelle hat-trick!

 

I rather think the hat-trick man may be Dutch....

 

Swansea fans accepting defeat on their board.

 

They miss some influential players, but not more than we do.

 

No I think they are worse off. Very light up front and lacking a ball winner in midfield.

 

If we play anywhere near 100% we should win this 2 or 3-0 as they appear very depleted but we must go out and control midfield and press high up the pitch to stop them playing out from the back.
Elia and Tadic must mark their full backs when their keeper has the ball and look to nick the ball as close to their goal as possible

 

I don't think this will be an easy game for us.

1-0 win and another 3 points COYR'S

 

Mane back in training today so could play i think.

 

Good news.

 

Indeed, good news.

Is there any chance Jack will face us..?

 

He's not signed yet so dont think he would be registered in time.
