Swans vs Canaries

Liberty Stadium

March 29th, 3 pm


Last week the early bird did catch the worm
So this goes up in good time before the storm

Again this weekend one more vital game
After the Cats, we´ll want more of the same

We meet one of those who accompanied
Us up to this level on their fiery steed

And though we are guests at their Liberty
No law says we must sit back politely

Lately when visiting on weekend trips
We´ve unfortunately left generous tips

So irrespective of how kind our hosts
May be, it´s time we began laying those ghosts

Firstly, Herre Laudrup and now Mister Monk
Have tried to ensure that Swans won´t be sunk

And so far so good, although some reports
Have begun to suggest some creaking of sorts

And as an aperitif to our match
Tonight they meet Arsenal on their patch

Whether the outcome will boost them or not
Should not affect how we approach this a lot

For our record against them is as good
As any, so no need to hide ´neath our hood

Even the one point here would nicely do
While Swansea will probably want to add two

But if we could take all three on the day
How it would help in our battle to stay

Naturally as a diehard Canary
I´ll be rooting for us to pick up three

But come the final reckoning in May
I hope both live to see one more PL day.

COME ON YOU YELLOWS​
 
Me too Dave, and now would certainly be a good time to start improving our away form, but we do tend to get on well with Swansea ;)
 
Despite our good form against Swansea over the last couple of years, Saturday's win and Swansea's poor form, I really can't see us doing much better than a draw. We are far from safe, but there will be that edge to Swansea's play, like ours against Sunderland, that shows a real desire. Given our away form, unfortuantely I can see this being a carbon copy of our win on Saturday, only Swansea doing the winning. I really hope not. Don't know why I think that, but I feel like Swansea have a good performance left in them to keep them up and we might well be on the wrong end...
 
Just been on the Swans forum. They are practically suicidal - looked at their fixture list and it is true that I am almost grateful for ours in comparison, but I think most teams in the bottom seven or eight are still fretting as to where points will come from. Swans will be ok IMO, would be a shame to see them go down (unless it keeps us up...)

You never really know with us, or the Swans for that matter! We've both had the odd decent result where we've played well, rapidly followed up by absolute shockers!

True! Much as I'd prefer Arsenal to win the title than the other three contenders, I'd also quite like to see Swansea have their good game tonight and save their poor performance for us on Saturday!

Don´t actually think there´s very much between the two sides Rob, the fact that they´re at home will give them an advantage but it´ll probably still come down to who wants it the most. We´ll certainly be going ínto it on a head of steam. <ok> What they´ll be going into it on, we´ll know later tonight. ;)
 
Hughton's at the Emirates...

BBC Sport said:
Norwich manager Chris Hughton has made the trip to the Emirates. The Canaries play Arsenal on the final game of the season and they may well need a result.

Yep, he's definitely gone specifically to watch Arsenal...<doh>
