Swansea Sitty vs. Saints Venew: Libutty Stadium Kick-off 3am Sattaday April 20th 2013 Well I was with my mates the other nite in the Stag and Dalek in Abergarngochdulais and we was talking about the Saints game. We looked up where Saints was on Google Maps but it said there wasnât anywhere called Saints anywhere in the world so we still donât know. Molly said the Saints play in heaven and that their pitch is a cloud. Their home crowd is made up of angels & cherubs who play harps for the whole game so the atmosphere is a bit weird like. Tarquin said the Saints would be able to play on a cloud because they have no physical form (?) but the away team would just fall through the cloud and back down to earth. Darren said if the away team was a dirty team like Stoke or Norritch they would fall even further - into hell. The Saints have had some good managers in the past such as Saint Nigel of Scunthorpe and there currant manager Potchetino who is also the currant Pope. We thawt he should get behind one of the local teams like Roma or Lazio rather than the Saints. Maybe the Saints play in Rome in which case that would be okay. Not long ago there was a bit of a bust-up between the english saints and the welsh saints so the welsh saints formed a breakaway club called The New Saints and they now play in the League of Wales. Strange but trew. On Saturday we should throw lots of high balls into their box because the Saints players donât like heading the ball in case they damage their halos. Did you know.....?? This is the bit where I give you an interesting fact which you might not know The Saints are so good that throughout their history they have never comitted a single foul on the pitch and that also means that they have never had a yellow card or a player sent off. I hate goody-goodies! Did you know.....?? No.2 If one of the Saints players gets injured they donât send on the trainers/physio/team doctor, they send on a Saint Bernard dog with a barrel of stuff round its neck. After one shot of that theyâre up on there feet straight away and right as rain. Meat the Teem We thunked the Saints line-up could be like this: 1. Saint & Greavsie By having two people in goal they think they have more chance of stopping Michu from scoring. 2. Saint Nicholas aka Father Christmas Wonât be in the teem much longer if he keeps gifting goals to the opposition. 3. Yves Saint Laurent Ponsy footballer who wears his own designer football kit. 4. St. Ignatius of Loyola The original hardman/enforcer that Ivoralljack is looking for. In 1521 a cannonball broke one of his legs. He struggled back to the castle and his leg was cut off without any anaesthetic. He became the founder of the Jesuits. 5. Sean St. Ledger He used to play for Preston but is now a horse race. 6. Saint Paul Reportedly on £200k a week which is why he can afford to live in a cathedral in Central London. 7. St Emilion Signed from Bordeaux. Full-bodied red-headed player who lived in an oak cask as a boy. 8. St. Francis of Assis(t)i He does wot it says on the tin - creates chances for others to score 9. St. Swithin Useful player to have in a goal drought. If he scores then he will score for the next 40 games. 10. Simon Templar He had a white Volvo 1800 sports car just like Michael Laudrup does. 11. Saint George He is looking forward to Caardiff getting promoted as he likes slaying Draagons (and Dragonphilljack as well) Our predikshan Swans 3 Saints 1 Mr G.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr Gullible returns!!! I've missed you. That St Swithin fella, sounds a decent player. The biggest Saint, Michael!! should try and sign him.
Peed myself laughing, Thanks for that Mr G. On the bench:- Saint Johns Ambulance, been out injured. Saint Aletter. waiting for paperwork to come through. Saint Necessarily So, not sure about him. Saint Overskunk. He stinks. Saint Ence, back after 3 game ban.
Good thread, I particularly like the colours! Not sure about the prediction though, since getting back to the prem us saints have toughened up quite a bit. I'm predicting a battle, but with good football being played on both sides. Saints 3 Swans 2
3AM Saturday kick-off is brutal. Are you all planning to stay up for that? Good game last time we played. Michu didn't seem that up for it though, not sure that will happen again. Both sides play some entertaining football so definitely looking forward to that after a deadly dull West Ham match last week. I'm going to go for a 2-2 draw.

Quote: In their last 20 away games, Southampton have won 0, drawn 4 and lost 8 matches against teams positioned above them in the table.
I've got to be honest I didn't think about that when I found the stats. I assume, as Ivor says, that the other games were against teams below them?
