Saints vs Swansea - Sunday 12th January 1630

Happy with the draw and a home tie against lower league opposition.

[Andrew Watson]

Probably two of our best performances in the championship were against Swansea last season. The first half an hour in the televised away game,we should have  been 6 up in the first half an hour. An 8-1 aggregate over 2 games was still excellent. Oh for a rare home goalfest and clean sheet and then Portsmouth in round 4.

Yeah it will be interesting to see if Russball has improved any since last season. Of course if Swansea do their homework properly they’ll know exactly how to beat us, although that’s not to say they’ll have the quality to do so. Let’s face it we’ve got Stephens and Manning, so it’ll be tough for them.

Swansea in reasonable form and Saints will no doubt field a Championship level team. Could go either way and should offer us an indication as to Saints likely level in the Championship next season.

Not for long they won’t be.

Properly jealous of Spurs. That’s a cracking fa cup draw and exactly the kind of game you want.

We’ve got a shit game at home to a team we’ve played loads (and will be playing again next season), who are on a good run at the moment and will probably beat us.

Maybe we can make it more interesting by saying the loser gets to keep Russell martin.

You don’t think he’ll rest anyone then?

4.30pm on a Sunday for BBC Wales, should guarantee an absolutely tiny crowd for this one 

[TheAlehouseBrawlers]

£20 adults (plus booking fee...) £5 under 18s - probably should have been a fiver across the board if they wanted a reasonable crowd for this!

Yep that's too much, will be lucky to get 10k just after Xmas

I reckon this will be a great chance for Swansea fans who have a beef with their ex Manager to come along and make their feelings known, especially if Swansea do well against us, which is a real possibility if our recent games are anything to go by, especially Cardiff and Stoke games.

Their fans will be the only ones at the game after reading our prices, fuck me

He will be gone by then, only benefit would have been the whole ground (all 10k of them) giving him grief.
