Good luck today lads, hope you pummel the manc twats

 

Caulker is down injured, hope he's okay

 

Cardiff may have had their first attempt on target. Weak looped header may have been dipping under the bar and turned over.

Welcome to the big boys league Cardiff

 

That's an awesome midfield we have there

 

Surprised no Bony.

Hope Michu doesn't sulk. Need that second striker. Ante Rebic would be nice if we can get him.

 

What was that Cardiff poor premier league? One word hammered (excuse the pun)

 

that's a strong line up from the swans. .

 

Tan needs to get his cheque book out. Couple of full-backs, two midfielders and a striker is the minimum needed.

 

So, last season, we played utd with a fairly similar team...just Canas and Shelvey.
Are they better than Ki and De Guzman?

 

good starting line up for us - look at the strength on the bench - awesome. two solid teams.

this is a litmus test for me - how we play today, not necessarily the result will tell me how we are going to compare to the rest of the league. after seeing arsenal - wenger had better get it together soon or he will be out of a job and arsenal out of the prem - it was that rank today.

 

Absolutely yes

 

so far yes - wake up call to jdg and ki

 

For those of you on virgin the game is live on sky2 channel 123

 

I don't think we've seen enough of Cañas yet to make a decision have we ?
I'd happily see Ki in there.

 

It will be interesting to see Jonjo behind Michu it could be another very deadly option

 

I'm comparing Canas to JDG and Jonjo to Ki. But today's the day we find out how good they/we are
