Match Day Thread Swansea City v Southampton Saturday 13th February 2016 KO 15:00

A touch of Shakespeare, Fats?
Romeu, Romeu, wherefore art thou - in the team OR on the bench?



Mmmm, bet he corrects it now, to make me look sillier than usual.

 

Poem coming. Anyone got any requests?

 

Go for it. You're very good at it. I like 'em.

How about.. The Day We Went To Swansea, based on the the Bangor song by Steeleye Span?

 

I thought Wales was a unit of measure, like football pitches.

I think it's time for a traditional 3-1 away win.

 

I'm always happy with a traditional 3-1 Saints win. Though Fraser may have something to say about that.

'Cough' Fiddlers Dram.

Steeleye are a far better quality helping of Folk-Rock.

 

He'll let one in while giving the crowd a wave I expect

 

I missed that chance didn't I

 

Folk music has never been a strong point. Cheers for the education.

I do have a Steeleye album somewhere though.

 

Forster
Fonte Van Dijk Yoshida
Cedric Romeu Clasie Bertrand
Davis
Mane Austin

3-1 Saints.

 

Was considering seeing if I could get a ticket for this last minute as practically on my doorstep but looks like we've sold out. Good on us. Probably for the best anyway what with the rugby being on and all that, will likely be a heavy day of beverages for me Saturday.

Will go for 0-3 here, I fancy us to click. From what I remember Romeu and Clasie were playing well together last time we were without Wanyama.

 

How about a bit of Tennyson, "Ulysses" perhaps?

Sadly you missed a chance back in October to do Macauly's epic "Horatio":

With weeping and with laughter
Still is the story told,
How well Southampton played the Bridge
In the brave days of old.

 

So no one asked Ronald about injuries...is Targett back?

 

Would be keen to know if Davis, Pelle and Austin are fully fit too!

 

Stan Kroenke's new Texas ranch spans 510,527 acres (1 million football pitches, 0.1 Wales and cost 125 Charlie Austins)

3-0 to Saints - no way will Forster be beaten.

 

Swansea have turned round their dreadful form to somewhat average now, they are a much different prospect to playing them under Monk.

Curtis and now Guidolin seemed to have steadied the ship, although they are still in big trouble. 2-1 Saints.

Clasie (19')​

Ki (27')

Tadic (38')​

 

With this team selection KS but think RK will stick with Pelle up front
0-1 to the mighty Saints

 

Matty T is on the training video with RK
