If we lose today I will perform a self circumcision and upload the video to Youtube.

I'm that confident.

3-1 Villa.

You lot are going to look very silly when we win 3-1.

Just seen shots of the two managers, Laudrop all animated urging his players on, Lambert sitting on the bench looking glum and clueless. Sums up the two sides.

I'd get Albrighton on for the second half. It should improve things although not greatly.

I fear the invitable coming up for the second half.
Having to chase the shadows of the Swansea players will eventually take its toll.

I hope I'm wrong, but...

Been several posts hinting at issues between players and managers almost suggesting the players are deliberately being shit.

if that is the case, on such large wages, they can fuck off whoever they are.  Should be playing for the team of Aston Villa not some personal vendetta

The problem isn't that they don't think they can attack, the problem is that they have no patience and try to attack right at the goal every time they get the ball - a position compounded by 4-4-2 because 4-4-2 is a counter-attacking formation, not a front-foot formation.

There you go - Swansea have 10pts from the last 10 games.

Laudrup must be a genius.

They are so easy on the eye to watch Swansea. Lovely football to watch.

Anyone got a rough idea how much this Swansea side cost to put together ?

About £28m quid.

So their side cost less than ours - that's what a good management structure does for you.
