[Gibbo]

Swansea vs Citeh or Southampton vs Chelsea

Help

[Chazza]

They KO at different times flower.

[Gibbo]

Ahh **** really? Is Chelsea a 3 o'clock?

[Chazza]

Aye.

[Fredo]

Gibbo having a gibbo early in this new year. How times change.

[Muddled]

Swansea's goalkeeper having to change their kit because it clashes with Manchester City's away kit.

Swansea looking decent; Bony drilling a shot just wide with Hart sprawling to get diwn to his far post.

[Muddled]

Another hamstring strung. Hernandez off.

I understand Swansea are already down a midfielder because Leon Britton threw a sickie ... he's clearly enjoyed last night's celebrations, obv.

[Muddled]

Nobody has caused Ashley Williams a mischief yet.

[Muddled]

Dzeko has a delightful touch of the ball.

Good feet for a big ma...

[Chazza]

Cracking strike for Fernandinho.

Settled in very nicely and looks a good player.

[Muddled]

Manchester City 1 Swansea 0

Thumped in from Fernandinho.

[Muddled]

Manchester City's counter-attacks are so swift.

Decent game this; quite open and Swansea do look a threat going forward ... a shame their home form is wank.

[john316]

Just what do Swansea do well anymore? Lots of pointless possession, poor defensively and putrid goal threat. Not hard to see why their point total for 2013 was so pathetic. Been a complete non-factor since the League Cup run. Laudrup should be looking to get out as soon as possible.
