    Seeing your signature I thought I should let you know that we're not fans of Cardiff either.

    His goalscoring for the U18's can't go unnoticed, he deserves a chance.

    His record for the U18s is good, but he's not Jay Rodriguez yet. Maybe in the FA Cup, but not now.

    Maybe a few games for the U21s first would be a good idea.

    Big difference between U18 and Premier League. Can't make that big a step.

    I wholeheartedly agree, however he's only just turned 16, and presumably has alot of developing to do ... give him a chance in the cup first

    Really looking forward to this one - it will be my first game of the season.

    Team for me would be:

    Gazza
    Clyne Fonte Yoshida Fox
    JWP Morgan
    Puncheon Ramriez Lallana
    Lambert

    This is a must win game for the Saints - partly to get some much needed confidence but also becuase, depsite their good start, I exect Swansea to be amongst the relegation candidates come the end of the season.

    I only got to three games last year - Watford, Derby and Coventry all three 4-0 victories. Therefore I am expecting the team to click on Saturday and another 4-0 win as a result.

    Would love to see one of the youngsters come on and score. Remember Moran and MLT and the Wallaces making their debuts and the excitement they caused. Great boost for morale!

    Shaw and JWP will be in the 18, Callum Chambers has done well for the U21s too, so you never know.

    the key is will you see enough of the ball as we are pretty good at keeping it and as your defense is the worst in the league then we will exploit anything that comes our way....I cant see us losing the match if we play as we are doing at the moment and you play as you are doing.....It will take a massive change of form for both of us for you to win....It can happen but i doubt it....

    Not really. We are the home team, we have 26-30,000 Saints fans supporting the team. Spurs could not handle us in the 2nd half when they came to St Marys. We almost beat Man Utd. We are difficult to beat at home - the Wigan match aside, teams have found it difficult at St Marys. I am confident of a Saints win. Don't expect Swansea to dominate the game on Saturday. It isn't going to happen. Oh and good luck stopping Ramirez - you'll need it. He tore Villa to shreds in his last home game.

    well if you go by the table and goals conceded then you will struggle, chelsea or liverpool could not beat us and the champions man city struggled against us so we should not have to much problem against the saints......Like i say it will have to be a huge turn of form from both teams for you to win the game......funnier things have happened like celtic beating barca 2-1 with just 11% of the game so there is always a chance,

    City struggled against you yet still won and kept a clean sheet. We scored twice against them and only lost by one goal like yourselves.

    Swings and roundabouts. Whatever will be, will be.
