...surprised not to see a Match thread up so here we go - no information about the teams but really is there anything we dont already know! Brace yourselves for the biggest derby in our history, the nerves are really kicking in now but im confident the boys will respond positively after the recent turmoil -CMON THE JACKS!!
I wasn't expecting another one until next season, as everyone is too busy discussing Laudrup and who's leaving - almost the whole team according to Breezy. And we won't be able to get a new team because there's no airport nearby. We're doomed. Anyway, I predict a 3-0 win for Swans, as Monk will have kicked some ass.
Most of the teams around us in the table now playing. Wonder where we'll be in the table come kick-off time.I'm hoping for mostly draws from those teams.
i d take 3-0 Plastic! history suggests that it will be a lot closer though. hope its a better game than the last one!
Although the game is being showed on TV over here , I'm going to pass on watching because if I do not watch , I know we will win . You can thank me later for for my dedication to superstition , things I do for "the team " .
So why didn't you not watch all season? We'd be top of the league with 100% record. I think Dragon is right about the lift not going all the way to the top.
Let's see. This is a very difficult game to predict, both outcome and lineups (will Monk play himself?). Cardiff will try to exploit any signs of weakness they can find. And they will find some. I'm convinced there is some kind of unrest in the squad, and I'm not sure that Monk has the Balls, experience, respect (inside the squad) nor ability to motivate the Whole team. Neither do I believe he has the tactical skills needed if Things don't go according to plan. I'm obviously hoping for a win, expecting a Draw (which would be accptable) but dreading a loss. A loss will have negative consequenses for the Club on countless levels; and now there's not even a scapegoat (I mean a manager) to sack...
I hope that's true, I rate Emenes, and I know he hasn't played in the premiership for some seasons, but I'm sure he'll raise his game!..............
I think we'll win, but if we lose, I can't see any way to avoid relegation. Other teams around us picking up points today. We desperately need 3 points.
I'm surprised that you're only giving Monk one chance....lose today and we are down? As someone who supported ML going why are you not giving Monk more time before coming to that conclusion. I did not agree with the timing of ML's departure simply because it doesn't give any new manager much time....should have been done before Xmas IMO if there was existing concern back then....which I'm assuming there was. Not picking a fight here, just surprised that you are thinking defeat today = relegation. I'm confident we will win today as we are not a bad team. However, the bottom half is so tight this year it will be a fight to the last.
