We do need to serve a 5 or 6 goal thrashing at home to someone in the league a la Preston in the cup. Tonight would be a good time to do it.

I'd be surprised if Clement was to leave Bayern in his first season there. Rowett might be an OK choice. Ugly football sometimes but I gather Swansea fans don't give a shite about how/where 3 points come from at the moment.

Sounds like Rafa thinks his agent is trying to unsettle him.

Afobe getting nowhere near Only giving him 4 attempts is a bit stingy though.

Vertonghen has been sat on 4 yellows for ages and then he gets his fifth in the last game of the 5 card period for dissent in the 91st minute of the game FFS

Cedric and Vertonghen clean sheets gone after 19 minutes

Totally underserved

Bradley sacked at Swansea

I guess he means Enrique's first goal for the club, not the first of the game. I do remember being quite a distance away from Forest by that game though, I think that just nearly sealed automatic promotion.

Their European Football Stuff is canny with Andy Brassell, Paolo Bandini and guests but I can't say I've ever wanted to tune in when they've got knackers like Adrian Durham and Jim White on.

Watford look like they can't be arsed here

Had totally forgotten about that, looping a header straight over Krul (?) and into the net.

Forgot that was Boxing Day. Ben arfa had a laugh that day. Got dropped for the next game too iirc Peak Pardew.

Merry Christmas everyone Fingers crossed for 6 points and plenty goals over this festive period.

SSN reporting that Colback's definitely out for this game at least. Shame Forestieri returns from his suspension for them too.

Wew. Next 2 home games sold out, canny. Up for Christmas and going to them both. Can see Ginger Jack being involved. Atmosphere should be cracking for both. .com seem to think that Colback is still injured too so likely to miss both I'd imagine.

Wew. Next 2 home games sold out, canny.

To be fair to the mackems he's probably worth whatever the cost of relegation would be because without him they'd be 100% relegated.

Canny how he sings his chant to his son in the house Mark Douglas tweeted a canny video feature of him just before as well. Being interviewed on the Millenium Bridge for Football Focus and ends up cracking on with people crossing the bridge. The old guy at the start is quality

Think we've made the right decision Next 5 games don't look too difficult on paper and I think we'll manage without him. Relieved that he'll be back for the Brighton game (even if it does get shifted) which will no doubt be our toughest game of the season.

Good news for us I guess. Would prefer if it was Atsu or Diame not selected though

Bayern are tearing Leipzig a new one here.
