    We´ve strengthened in similar ways
    And deserve a share of the praise,
    For how things have gone
    For Canary and Swan
    So far, so good Premier League days

    Both with a young manager who
    Are clear in what they want to do,
    And a squad who though
    Inexperienced, show
    The hunger of still being new

    So how will things go Saturday
    When your lot migrate here to play,
    Methinks that a close
    Game could have a dose
    Of last minute scoring one way

    A feature of last season´s spree
    We´ve not seen that regularly,
    Since we´ve been up here
    In the rarified air
    But in this game, well it could just be

    We both know a win here would aid
    The target our managers made,
    At the season start
    To still be a part
    Of this league when all games are played

    And if we can emulate, some
    Our last home game, much will be won,
    And avoid the blip
    Of an early slip
    As we had with the Baggies from Brum

    With you lot looking, I dare say
    To pick up your first points away,
    It should be a spree
    Worth going to see
    With end to end stuff on the day

    But I´ll say that on our own patch
    With luck, we should just be a match,
    So you leave us mute
    Without much dispute
    Still waiting for those points to hatch.

    Anyway, have a good trip, and as you would say, `Croeso i ein ty` :emoticon-0100-smile

    Swans to pick up their first points on the road imo. 0-1.

    ´Tis a hard one to call, Jager and Hit The Road
    You let in few goals as a team,
    At home, but then when you´re not at your abode
    You´re generous in the extreme

    While we tend to score both at home and away
    Although, not in that much excess,
    I still say a home win or draw on the day
    Is a likely result of this test. :)

    RBF, are you in Copenhagen?
    Where there's so much bacon it's hard to be vegan,
    But don't worry, just go,
    Across the bridge to Malmo,
    And have a salad with ex-president Reagan.

    A win for us is not in your plans
    But you clearly have too much time on your hands.

    Sorry, best I could do. As for being generous on the road if you mean conceding heavily to two clubs who will be fighting for the title and actually giving a goal to Arsenal, you're right. Thing is, the Canaries aren't in the same bracket as those teams are they? Watched the game v WBA which you lost 1-0 at home and I thought both teams were pretty poor. No offence.

    Hit The Road - no offence taken, and the W. Brom game was far and away our worst league performance this season, we conceded early and never looked like getting back into it, but they were quite content to sit on their 1-0. Looking forward to tomorrow, should be a good game between two sides who want to attack.

    and aswan -

    Not Copenhagen, no
    But been to Malmo
    To pick up the occasional swede,
    To add to the stew
    When wanting to brew
    A good feast to go with the mead. <ale>

    The lovely canary is a pretty yellow
    But the regal swan is a fiersome fellow
    I suspect you find when tomorrow is done
    That the long necked ones have won two - one!

    Diolch - yn - fawr, 2-1 Aswan_dam,
    With a Sinclair double, boom, thank you mam,
    But despite this prose and rythmic banter,
    I hope both teams stay up with a canter.

    Very fine verse swimaway
    I also hope we both stay,
    But tomorrow´s bout
    I still have a doubt
    Will end with joy for old Swannay

    But to be sure, we shall see
    Tomorrow from round about three,
    Who is right or wrong
    Can majestic swan
    Outwit canny, pretty canary. ;)

    Whilst I admire you efforts with the song of the tongue,
    I predict tomorrow, you will be undone,
    It is the Swans you'll stand and hail with a clap,
    For just like your poetry, your team is crap.

    By you failure to try and respond in verse, I reckon I won that battle then

    Good luck for the season but not for today of course!

    PS thanks for the enjoyable thread.

    I know which one I´d rather win
    This game or our poetic spin,
    So thanks swimaway
    For chatting today
    3-1 really does make me grin. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It seems my predictions were rather hasty,
    and this whole day has left me looking pasty,
    but I know a smile will soon replace my frown,
    Cos' as history shows, you can't keep the Welsh down.
