1-1

[Jimbo]

Fuck the fuckers.

[Witton Warrior]

Fuck the fuckers.

Get in!

1-0 Bacuna

[dekko]

First real test to see if the form we're in can last, as Swansea are a decent side (albeit in iffy form).

A draw wouldn't be a disaster, but with the difficulty of the April fixtures a win is probably going to be needed.

2-1 Villa, Benteke and Cleverly

[damon loves JT]

For me it's enough to know that we'll go into the game trying to attack, trying to score goals and trying to win.

[Des Little]

I've said a draw because I said a draw against WBA and Sunderland.  See what I'm trying to do here?

[supertom]

3-1.
Benteke, Gabby, N'Zogbia.

Assume Hutton is back for this, any news on any of the other walking wounded ?

[Toronto Villa]

They don't travel well, and since Bony departed haven't been able to fully take advantage of their creativity (only 9 goals in 9 league and cup games). We'll be the more desperate side and won't let them settle on the ball. I'll go 2-0; Benteke and Sinclair.

[Chris Smith]

Makes a change to be looking forward to the game rather than just the pub afterwards.

[Toronto Villa]

Completely agree. I was really looking forward to Sunderland and it obviously exceeded all of our expectations. Naturally we can't expect that every week, but at least now we are beginning to pick up, if nothing else the desire, purpose and energy the team will play with. And with Benteke starting to look sharp again, it gives us a genuine world class goal scoring threat up front if we can create the chances.

I thought they were lucky on Boxing Day to beat us, as we dominated the second half, but lacked a real cutting edge.

Its important that we win our home games with what we have coming up away from home.

[Toronto Villa]

Hope it's a big crowd at the weekend. We are starting play some nice football, and you Swansea like to knock it about. Should be good for the spectators and we need the fans to really come for these last few home games. Win those and we'll be in good shape.

[Bad English]

3-1 to Aston Villa. No fucking messing.
