There´s no doubt the points that we earned against Cats
Were three of the biggest this year,
And looking at our recent ´v. Swansea´ stats
This weekend´s game should bring some cheer

I´m sure if Bergman and Bogart were alive
And wearing their Canary shirt,
They´d say "Play it again, Chris", that way we´ll thrive
And keep our snouts out of the dirt

And though Casablanca is far from Swansea
The sentiment does still hold true,
Don´t change a winning team unless needs be
And here I´d agree with that view

The starting eleven last week did us proud
So despite players coming back,
I hope he won´t madden the maddening crowd
And change defence, midfield or attack

The wolfman was as close as he has yet been
To finding that elusive hole,
Even if chances are few and far between
He´s still edging towards a goal

To drop either Elmander or Hoolahan
Would seem really quite harsh indeed,
And the Tettey Howson midfield caravan
Has certainly not run to seed

Some may think 4-4-2 is suicide
To take to the Welsh ´Liberty´,
But we need to arrest our away slide
And Monk won´t expect that, you see. OTBC

PS:

But if I could predict the line-up each week
Then top of the table I´d be,
So no doubt he´ll surprise us all as we speak
But who cares, if our points are three. <ok>
 
My fear with Saturday's team is that we looked a bit weak on the left at times because Wes would peal off and move more centrally. I would want to tell Wes to stick to the left as he needs to roam.
I also wonder is we lacked pace a touch, redmond was excellent at getting in behind the Swansea defence at home. If I was looking to make a change I'd play redmond instead of Elmander and put Wes behind the striker.
May be though I'm thinking too hard and playing the same team will be good for confidence. So long as we don't play Johnson I'll be happy at 2 on Saturday.
 
Correct on Shakespeare, well done. Merchant of Venice.

But you've made the next common mistake <laugh> - the word is "glisters" which is obviously now obsolete

I use it when I get glitter stuck to my numerous abrasion-sores on my feet...
