Said the commentator on the Norwich-Bolton match. Have to say I completely agree. Two very different styles, but both play football that is nice to watch. Going to really enjoy watching this- shame I'm abroad and can't go to any matches. Neutrals probably won't bother to watch this, but if they do, they're going to enjoy what they see. Both of us have just come off the back of wins (the Sunderland result is already hopefully forgotten...) so we're going to both be well up for this. Don't want to blow our own trumpet, but I think both teams bring something completely different to the EPL, which means pundits are noticing us. I can't see us getting more than a draw, but we'll do our best! Fortunately I think we've both done so well so far that this result isn't going to be the difference between staying up or going down for either of us. OTBC ILWT
Really hope not! In fact, I don't think it's possible. Swansea will play their tikka takka, which always looks nice, then the times we get the ball will be so few and far between we'll be rushing at them. Can't see beyond it being exciting! I'm in Barcelona, so I get to see all the matches because Spanish football is on in the evenings and they don't have the Sky monopoly!
Massively looking forward to this, bit of a grudge match from my point of view - Last time round I was on holiday and Swans beat us three nil grrrr!
We should thump you, but you never know. Hope so because we'll go above you . You tend to beat us at your place, we reciprocate down here. Both teams giving a good account of themselves, fair play.
I dont think its a grudge match for most though .. Should be a great game,we will be desperate for 3pts though as will you be so i expect it to be a hard game . It wont be anything like the 3-0 last time we played at liberty but the swans are a completly different animal at home,we also wont have gary monk playing this time so should be better at the back than we were at carrow road I thought Norwich would be safe this season but they have suprised me with how well they have acyually done, keep up the good work but please have a mare of a game next week and we can all be friends for ever..
I'd say thats a fair comment, it's only a good-natured grudge though after embarassing myself infront of everyone (including the Mrs) after too many Dorados.
It won't be a grudge match, that's for sure. We beat you 3-0, but you beat us 3-1. Should be a very exciting game and I can't see either team not scoring. We need to be careful as you have Morrison and Holt that can do a severe amount of damage. If we can keep they quiet, they should only score once. I'll stick my neck out and say 2-1 Swansea. I'll settle for a draw, can't see us losing at home so that's my prediction. Hope to god we both stay up. As you say, we both bring something fresh to the PL as the pundits keep going on about us both. How we didn't do a 1-2 in the CCC last season is beyond me as QPR are erm, well, rubbish lol. Here's to a great game and hopefully we will play again next season. In the PL.
I'm undecided on this one. We will either beat them or get turned over as last year. I can't see it being a draw somehow <sitsonfenceemoticon>
Its a sure bet we won't have much possession. All the more reason to get the centre backs fit asap. As well as the guys played today, Naughton and Bennet extraordinary games, Swansea will be patient in their build up and try and tempt us out. But I agree with the commentator today. It should be a match for the stylists. Equally as good in its own right as a match between the so called top sides.
i fear a turn over, but wont be too annoyed by it. Swansea are playing great stuff and are a club run much like ours. Can you imagine a Norwich or Swansea having players like Barton and Cisse getting red carded for mindless over reactions? I think the players have too much respect for their team, fans and manager to do that. Just goes to show money doesnt buy those things!
#it's going to be really hard but I think Lambert wants something here. I can see the honors being shared and I'd be more than happy with that
Swansea was the only team I feared us playing last season and I still do - your keeper is awesome (2nd best only to Ruddy).
Do you rate Ruddy better than Vorm, in all honesty? From what I'v seen, the only keeper that has out performed Vorm is Joe Hart, and that' me trying to be un-biased lol.
Don't think it will be a grudge match at all, more like the Arsenal v Bolton game this afternoon, us being the Arsenal of course! Swan Lake at the Liberty................................. please log in to view this image
I think it would be a shame for either team to lose this one, so I`m going for a draw, with the proviso that if any goals are scored, we score more than Norwich. Having said that how many more goals have Norwich scored than us, that could be the clincher!
