Article: Swansea City vs Norwich City Match Preview & Thread|Football, Swansea City, Norwich City

On the matter of MOTD, we know it is going to be dominated by the shenanigans at Old Trafford. It will overshadow our top performance as well as good ones by Wigan and Blackburn.
We will have a pile of verbal diarrohea about incidents totally divorced from football and two knob head managers. Ferguson should keep quiet about Suarez and his future with Liverpool. But even worse is the Liar of Liverpool. The same man who denied knowledge of deaths at Heysel today denied he knew Suarez had been a complete knob. King Kenny has lost it at A field and he can't handle it.
And because of all this crap the nation will be denied watching a good performance from controversy free Norwich.

 

No complaints about that from me. You were the better team and wanted it more. We were light and slow. You beat us to the ball way too often and cut us open too many times.

 

5th on MOTD, seriously WTF! spurs v toon, utd v l'pool, everton v chelski, sunderland v arsenal then us...

 

Under the radar is your motto already anyways & it seems to be working pretty dare good .

 

could be worse we could be last...dissapointing though.

At least canary Player (for those that have it) will show more highlights

 

Its not even worth getting mad about MOTD

it's an insult to both clubs who atr shot down the pecking order simply because they want to play football with no drama

 

Bottom line is... In the Words of Procul Harem....cue the organ.....


We've both played the light fandango,
turned cartwheels across the Prem.
When the pundits dissed our chances,
we both proved them wrong again.
Norwich did the double,
but the Swans gave them a game
We will both be safe this season,
but next year, won't be the same.

But I still love my Super Swansea
even though today we fail,
but next year will be different...
you'll be a whiter shade of pale


PEACE AND THANKS

Maybe one of our players should punch the ref, abuse a fan or act like a petulant child so MOTD have something to talk about

 

Just wanted to post this cross board to both sets of fans, quote from a QPR fan called (originally) Q.P.R on whether they will stay not stay up this year

Point 2, THIS IS WHY YOU FAIL

 

Lol.

 

Can't remember where on this thread it was mentioned, but it was acknowledged that NCFC can 'mix it up' to counter the opposition and the way the match is panning out, whereas the Swans prefer to stick to their pass and move/triangles ethos - for which I would normally applaud them

Norwich never once today let them settle and play that style and full credit to Paul Lambert for nullifying their pure passing game plan.

It just goes to prove that it is very helpful to have more a plan b, c or d waiting - in the event of a 'worst case scenario' as per today where we looked like getting overrun at certain stages.

Cracking match, honours not quite even, but we'll both be back for more next season

 

How about players who played non-league?

 

He's got an excellent point hasn't he. Keeping the nucleus of your promotion winning side while adding the finest talent from the lower leagues is DOOMED TO FAIL

Just look at Norwich(8th) and Swansea(11th)

If ONLY we had proven premier league quality like QPR(16th, and effectively in the bottom 3)

 

Well I think our manager learned a lot today , things that will be helpful the rest of the season in the middle of mid field . I had a dream we would get points off every club this season ... shattered !!

 

We could still get that honour, all we have to do is avoid defeat against Man U, Man C, Arsenal and Spurs... easy!

 

I would like to believe that Cracker, but I doubt it (as the monkey said, as he pissed on the fire). He should know the way Norwich plays, yet he carried on with plan A, then plan A, then plan A.

Norwich came with a game plan and it worked, we were sussed for what we are, Norwich deserved to win they were far better than we were. Lambert seems to be a better tactician than Brendan, but he`ll learn. We`re still a bit away from the bottom five, but a few more losses will soon drag us down there.

I hope that the lessons have been learned and will be acted on, we still need about ten points to be certain, on today`s performance that might be a little while coming.

Congrats to Norwich, massive performance from your guys and correct result, the way you play you might very well finish top six, good luck.

 

Firstly would like to thank the Swans fans for contributing greatly to this thread, you're a credit to your team.
I thought that today that Lambert got it spot on tactically, never allowing the Swans to play their natural game, putting pressure on their defenders so the ball constantly returned to Vorm who was forced to clear it long.
I thought individually that all the players were superb (apart from Drury who got a knock early on, and that had him struggling to deal with Dyer).
Yet again we had to make some defensive alterations with Drury coming off and Barnett coming in to partner Ward (who I thought had a brilliant game), yet again our players showed their class to be able to deal with the changes.
Ruddy was immense again, Holt was fantastic again, Jackson & Bennett seem to be getting better and better, Pilks, Fox and Surman ran the midfield, all in all a cracking win and an absolutely cracking game. The BBC should be shot for only putting it on 5th!

 

dont worry its still following a pattern after good results from chelsea and w.brom games we`ve now had the expected blip, now stoke away will be a great win against a top side and will lift us again in more ways than one. ktf.

 

Hats off to Norwich, I dont think anyone can complain about the result as the best team won - we really missed Joe Allen today.

Also was it just me or did anyone else think Caulker was awesome up front in the dying minutes, on another day could have rescued us a point.

 

True.....but undeserved.
