2-0 without a doubt, oops i am a plastic according to one fellow jack on the bradford board, centre back with ash - ki or bartley? stick with ki imo, dont break whats not broken, michu up front?? prefer him as a AM but other options?
I didn't half read some total bollocks on here after the cup final. They're lucky I've been pissed all week and couldn't be bothered to answer some of them. Nice to get back to league action and against a proper team with proper fans too. 2-1 to us and one big party off the field I reckon
Good evening lads and lasses, glad to see a match thread I thought you'd forgotten about playing us on Saturday. I've just posted on our match thread which has been going for several days, but you have had other things to discuss, hope the celebrations have went well for you! Any news on injuries? I looked on the Swansea City club website a couple of days ago, couldn't see anything, I'm particularly interested in Vorm, will he be playing? I'm expecting a tough game, and as I said on our thread, your supporters are really going to be up for it, I'd be over the moon to get a point.
The Tyne bridge was opened 4 years before the Sydney harbour bridge also, you missed wor cheryl cole, AC/DC (well, the singer) and The Lighthouse family from your Bands/Artists list
I am not an expert Beatski - but this may be of interest http://www.ianhardy.net/tynebridge.php Cheryl Cole?? She's far too young for our lot NB - I note that you didn't argue that Newcie Brown isn't 100% piss
there wasnt an argument to make also, damn you and your correct evidence, shattering everything i thought was true. Although now I'm going to say it was based on the hell gate bridge because it sounds so much cooler
Sorry Beatski! Have a look at this - you'd swear you were in Newcastle: http://bridgehunter.com/ny/queens/hell-gate/
if you google my real name you get a few about me and tons about a member of AC/DC and one of my crowning moments was climbing to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge carrying a bottle of Newcaste brown singing House of the Rising Sun OK lied about the Brown Ale and the song - but when I was in New Orleans I did visit the 'reputed' House of The Rising Sun - Animals my most favourite band!! Too many coincidences!! Swansea 2 newcastle 1
Any place that spawned Viz is 'areet' by me! Here is Tyneside's Silver Tongued Cavalier himself .......Tits ooot! [video=youtube;YcnN8-sJ8Hk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcnN8-sJ8Hk&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/video]
As were talking AC/DC nice little clip your you all to savour. [video=youtube;v2AC41dglnM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM[/video]
Whoever plays I hope they have got over Sunday or we could see a display of Liverpool proportions. CB not Ki, please. We don't need to play out of position .. difficult to judge his performance v Bradford but he did manage to get himself booked. What happened with Bartley not being in the squad last week? Monk for me, as good as Ash is he does get pulled about when he's got two less experienced players either side of him
And if you fancy a good old mosh!! [video=youtube;9kD8sxIjVuc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kD8sxIjVuc[/video]
