Merson's prediction "I worry for Swansea because I don't think they are defensively very good. Francesco Guidolin has come in and is having to adapt to the Premier League. He started off alright but now they are on a bit of a slippery slope towards the relegation zone. On the other hand, Spurs are flying in the league and they can pick up another three points in front of their home fans with a 2-0 win. I'm backing Harry Kane for the opener." Eh? Paul what do you mean ".... I don't think they are defensively very good" The Swans have the fewest number of goals conceded in the bottom half of the table - equal only with West Brom
On the bright side , all opposing relegation battling teams could win their midweek games next week and we could lose tomorrow and our midweek game and we would still not be in a relegation position . I think manager and players know this and with playing to top teams away from the home crowd , I think they will be relaxed with a nothing to lose attitude ..... I'm actually pretty confident of us playing very well .....Now points is another thing ...2 points or more in total from both games will be success from my perspective . Travelling fans could make an impact imo .Noisy and loyal till the final whistle can't hurt .
They need to get him as far away from Punditry as possible. I suggest putting him on horoscopes, he's got more chance of making any sense then As for today's game, the odds are stacked against us but look what happened at Goodison. It could be my selective memory but I always think of Spurs as the jammiest side to play us in the Prem. Their run against us will end at some point, so hopefully today
How a person who has the communication skills of a cucumber and the intelligence of a potato has made a career as a pundit I'll never know. Apologies to the cucumbers and potatoes of this world.
The British pundits are still saying we shouldn't have sacked Gary Monk. This is because they are a closed shop and they all have an agenda of wanting young British and especially English managers
I'm not really surprised by the lineup but a little disappointed though. I only hope Guids has something up his sleeve formation wise or game plan wise, because this could be a very long afternoon otherwise. If we don't compete they'll just pick us off at will and with ease.
Decent start. Gyfli should have scored but at least we won't have to endure 85 minutes of sitting deep!
'Ehh think the linesman just about gets this right. It's tight. Just off yeah'. A good solid 3 yards. Piss off commentators.
