    I hope we can get a point a Villa. The Swans do like tired. I watched the game in Russia and they played well (I mean they were in Russia) but seem to have lost some passion to really win a game. If Stoke get up them, a point may be all Swansea can get as well.

    I expect the jax to do us a favour today and put those hoofballers in their place this time. Stoke go to the liberty with their keeper as joint top scorer. :grin: Easy home win.

    I am not quite as confident as you guys are about us today, my confidenece has been shattered not by lack of ability but instead by the attitude shown.

    Big Sam would have been rolling around for a good 10 minutes if he had seen Flores go down today.

    As hilarious as Swansea Town going into meltdown is I do not like the way the relegation zone is creeping towards us again. Norwich and Sunderland seem to have suddenly realised their in the Premier League. Bloody Stoke.

    Yeah, though a dodgy penalty helped that prediction :)

    Well guys, those two back to back top club games for us have come and gone with just a point to show for it - maybe a point more than a lot of us expected to be honest.

    Meanwhile, the Swans picked up the full three points from their trip to West London and zilch yesterday at the Etihad to put them 2 points ahead of us right now.

    On to Wednesday then. We have a trip to Stoke and they have the Geordies at the Liberty. What will the point difference be after those two?

    Common sense says it should widen by at least another two points - anyone see anything other than that?

    That would be nice but hardly realistic given their quality against Pardew's lot. Should be a relatively comfortable win for them.

    Newcastle have won their last 4 games, Swans have won 1 of their last 5.

    And the Swans are a little short of a striker.

    Yes, but they've got class throughout the side and can keep possession.

    Only if they have their own ball boys


    Edit

    Newcastle have beaten, Chelsea, Spurs, Norwich & WBA in their last 4.

    Putting the ball in the net could be an issue for them so I think they'll draw as will we.

    Yes, but there's more to stats than just results - look at the possession Swansea get regularly, and they beat Fulham.
