Boxing Day Pre-match Thread: Swansea v Aston Villa

[Deano's Mullet]

I think of the 3-0 Man United win, the 4-1 Collymore game and the 4-0 destruction of Everton where Baros got a couple, the first being a handball. 4-4 Vs Chelsea must be up there too though I didn't go to that.

Just don't fancy us winning. Swansea don't score many but they don't concede that many either. looking at the form Swansea are iffy at home while we are pretty average. With the injuries and our defence i'm tempted to go for a home win but will go by form. low score draw 1-1

[KRS]

The second half of the season starts here...

They’ve lost to Norwich and West Brom at home, and Derby away in recent weeks. If we are a genuine top 6 team then we need to be turning these over again.

1-3 Villa

Middlesbrough, Leeds and Forest dont conceed many either, that is irrelevant to us. The issue is at the other end.

Get back on track. We'll get 4, they won't. Abraham(3) and Albert.

yeah i know. Just decided to go by form, ignore the leeds game performance in my thinking, so both teams have picked up 6 points in the last 5 games, right next to each other in the table, Swansea home advantage vs them not being great at home etc... Plus i think we're due a goalless or low scoring draw instead of the usual 3-4

I remember 4-1 v Wet Spam back in the day. Stood on the Witton End in awe of the Holte when the balloons thing was at its peak. Deehan with a couple IIRC and thinking 1978. Someone will no doubt put me right failing which I’ll look it up later.

Remember the 4-1 v West Ham, in the Holte and ballons, and going to see Jaws at the Odeon at the top of New St after!

Sounds like a perfect Crimbo outside the house tbh.

1975 I think, then more balloons at Derby the following day where we lost 2-0. I think Bruce Rioch was due to play for Derby that day but was injured?

Swansea 7 Aston Villa 8. You heard it here first

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Is this on the red button?

[Matt Collins]

Yeah I think so

[Legion]

It is.
