    As long as we win. Going for a scrappy 1-0. Shelvey to score in his last game for the club.

    I hope we get at them quickly. If we start right on the front foot and get the fans behind the team they will probably go to pot. I'm expecting a tactical stalemate with Rafa looking for us to sneak a goal though

    Think Swansea will be a lot harder to beat than a few weeks ago. They have put a few decent games together in the last few weeks. We do need to be on our game and take our chances to win. That being said I still think we will win.

    Biggest game of the season. 4-2-3-1, we always look better with that tactic as we're more familiar with it. But need to attack. Would play this:

    Darlow; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Shelvey, Merino; Murphy, Atsu, Ritchie; Perez.

    This is a huge game, just hope we show a bit of attacking intent.

    Think this will be a tough fixture and if we get 3 points I'll be over the moon but can see it being very similar to the Brighton game, try not to get beat by relegation rivals.

    May have to accept the draw in this case, depends if Swansea show up with the same lack of attacking intent we saw from Brighton.

    We're only any good if the other team attacks us in some form to give us something to counter, but on the upside if they don't Rafa wont sacrifice the defence for a win. To me he shouldn't really anyway because as soon as we whole heartedly rely on our attack we are pretty ****ed and gifting three points to Swansea is so much worse than a point a piece considering recent results.

    I just want Rafa to spill all at the presser.

    Replace 'she' with 'he' 'franky' with 'charnley' and 'revolution' with 'rafalution' and hey presto, you have our season in a nutshell
