    Hi gents, just wondering what you guys are feeling about the weekend at the moment ?
    Both teams will feel it's a winnable game for sure.
    We have made a great start to the season thrashing both QPR and West Ham - scoring 8 and not conceding, but I'm pretty sure it won't be anything like that against you.
    I'd personally be happy with one nil but feel the match will be a draw.

    Would love to be the side who give Laudrup his first defeat, but tbf haven't half hit the ground running, will be interesting for sure

    I haven't a clue on this, Swansea look very impressive, but we have a lot more about us than the 2 they've played to date.

    That said, they have destroyed both, although towards the end of the first half, Swans struggled a wee bit with West Ham's corners.

    I think a very easy on the eye 1-1, and I'll be happy with that.

    I'd rather we wern't playing you at the moment, especially at your place. Last year when you came to the SOL we easily put you guys to bed, yes you had the posession but you did nothing beyond the 18 yard box, seems a different story now! We will be well organised at the back, we have new players that havn't played yet so it's tough to judge but you guys are looking great. I would take a point now TBH, but then the MON factor could nick this. You guys have started so well I can see you guys winning it, tough one to call.

    It will be an interesting game Swansea are flying after a great start & we will have 2 new players in our line up possibly 3 or 4 new players.

    It will be a great game & i would be happy with a point but IMO i think we might just nick it by one goal.


    Good luck for the rest of the season mate. (Apart from Saturday & the return fixture @ the SOL :biggrin: )

    To be totally honest I was thankful that it was Swansea that made it to the big league and not your bluenose friends down the road. Your club has represented itself really well, others may have stamped and screamed when your boss and best players went but the board just got on with the business and seem to have found a wonderful new boss who buys into the style of the club.
    That said.....I really hope you leave on Saturday, satisfied with the 6 points that you already have. The atmosphere at the SOL will be something else this weekend and it may well prove to be the difference on the day.

    Yeah - as much as I want a win I know it will be a difficult match. We may have a few more signings by the weekend also - Ki Sung Yeung may be in the starting lineup - and rumours of Pablo Hernandez if the Scott zsinclair yawnfest is finally over.
    Good luck guys.

    Monk it's away thus weekend mate at the Liberty! Our first league home game is 15th Seotember against Liverpool.

    For the op, I truly don't know what to expect. Laudrup has you guys so organised and O'Neill has us the same.. Wouldnt be unhappy with a point and also feel we have enough to win it if all are firing but Johnson and Fletcher will have limited game time under their belts with last weekends postponement not helping!!

    For those lads going to Swansea this weekend, remember.....What do fat girls from Swansea and mopeds have in common?
    They're both fun to ride, until someone spots you!

    You don't need to mate - easy mistake to make as we've only played one game so far!!

    Form is the big issue I'm worried about. Swansea have form while we're still looking to build some up. Being away and not playing last weekend doesn't help either. That said, I consider our side to be better on paper. Throw it all into the mix and 2-2 would be fair, with either side an even chance of winning it.

    If we can nick the first goal then I fancy us. Will be really tough. They will no doubt have all the posession but be interesting to see how they play if they go a goal behind. If they score first could be a long afternoon.
    We need a couple of weeks to gel as I think our team is changing significantly this week. MON is buying first team players.

    I wouldn't know where to start with this one..Swansea have had a great start to the season, and our new signings have not yet had a chance to play..To be honest, I would probably take a draw now if it was offered..

    No easy games in the EPL these days imo and we missed out on a game at the weekend.

    Tough one to call.

    6-0 to Sunderland:D

    I've gone 2 2 on the works forecast.

    Hard to predict, Your looking a confident side but WH gave you two freebies and QPR were (I'll be diplomatic and say) rusty as fook. I think we will score at least 1. Head says 1-1. Heart 1-2

    I can't wait for this game! I can't see it being high scoring at all as both sides seem very organised. I'm going (hoping) for a 1-0 win swans. All the best after Saturday lads!

    This game couldn't come at a worse time, I'd rather be playing Manure instead of an inform Swansea.
    I'd take a draw now if it was offered.
