GOAL Swansea 1-2 Tottenham - Christian Eriksen
Well this is a good result! Spurs do it again! Christian Eriksen does it again! He scored a late goal at Hull recently, and has picked up a late winner again! It's an awful clearance from Jazz Richards, shovelling it straight back to Spurs when he could have just put it out. And Spurs punish them, Eriksen battering into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Wonderful strike.
83 mins SUBSTITUTION - Chadli for Lamela
82 mins YELLOW CARD - Stambouli
81 mins YELLOW CARD - Taylor
68 mins SUBSTITUTION - Stambouli for Mason
55 mins SUBSTITUTION - Dembele for Soldado
50 mins YELLOW CARD - Ki Sung-yueng
Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng goes into the book for leaving a foot in. Clumsy rather than nasty. Swansea have been excellent for the majority of the game since going behind, but can they find a winner now?
48 mins GOAL Swansea10-1 Tottenham - Wilfried Bony
Well there it is! Wilfried Bony continues his fine run of form to level this one up. Wayne Routledge gets clear down the right, his cross is smashed by Bony into the chest of Federico Fazio, and Bony reacts well to steer in the rebound from six yards out.
HALF TIME Swansea 0-1 Tottenham
40 mins YELLOW CARD - Ryan Mason
Ryan Mason is booked for sweeping the legs of Leon Britton away.
34 mins YELLOW CARD - Jan Vertonghen
The wet weather is leaving the pitch very slick, and Jan Vertnoghen goes into the book for sliding into Wayne Routledge. Ugly looking challenge as it's a bit two-footed, but Vertonghen does win the ball. Yellow card it is.
14 mins YELLOW CARD - Kyle Walker
Kyle Walker receives the first booking of the afternoon for a handball, which prevented Jefferson Montero from racing forward. Dangerous man to be up against for 75 minutes on a yellow...
4 mins GOAL Swansea 0-1 Tottenham - Harry Kane
What a header that is! Harry Kane, 1970s throwback, rises brilliantly to power over Angel Rangel and head in Christian Eriksen's corner. Can't be long before this lad gets a go for England. He just keeps on scoring.

Cant see anything other than a swans win 2/3-0
We cant defend or score always a recepie for failure in My book.
But as always coys i will still show the passion even if there is no belief.

Think we'll get at least a point.

We like playing Swansea, they play out from the back and the high pressing game is perfect for this type of match - if we can get it going that is.

No excuses for fatigue here though, enough players were rested so lets see a lot more of what we saw against Everton and a lot less than we saw against Palace.

We manage that and I think we'll edge this. 2-1 Spurs - a recurring scoreline for us.

In theory, correct, but I simply can't forecast which Spurs will turn out, and I doubt I'm alone in this. Play like we did against Everton and Chelsea, we're in with a serious shout; play like we did against Hull and Villa, we've got problems, and we can't count on M. Carterouge to come to our aid too often. Swansea have a pretty formidable home record (W5, D2, L1, 13F, 5A—would ours was as good!), and must fancy their chances. Sig is going to do his level best and more to prove a point.

We're going to be relying on Kane and Eriksen for goals, I feel. I can't see Chadli, or the train wreck that is Soldado starting after Thursaday.

How is our away form nowadays?

Since you ask, three wins, two draws, two defeats. We also have a -3 GD. If two of the wins hadn't come courtesy of that well-known Frenchman M. Carterouge, I'd be a mite more confident. As it is, 'Si vis pacem, para bellum', doesn't quite fit the bill, but contains some of the flavour of what I feel.

Yes, we do well against possession team (everton, saints, arsenal) and strugging against counter attacking team (weaker team, chelsea, turkey)

Its a tough one to call but he rested enough of them to ensure, hopefully, a revitalized performance. We get that and I think we'll edge it.

Their home record is impressive this season but our away form in the league is extremely good. If you take City/Chelsea out of the equation we've only lost four games in the last year and a half - and we like playing against the Swans.

I see Bony ripping Jan the Van Man and Fumbling Fazio - Siggy to score a blinder - Run up to Loony Levy and give him a obscene look- guaranteed Swansea Win 2 nil :) Spurs cannot score in a Brothel - the laughing stock

Fazio marked Lukaku out of the game. Matched and beat him in every department. I'm hoping he can do the same with Bony.

It really isn't. Of our three wins, two (Villa and Hull) have come about because the opposition had a man sent off. The third came from an injury-time goal that was completely against the run of play—let's be real, if the Spammers had taken their chances earlier on we'd have been dead and buried. We were completely outplayed, embarrassingly so.

No no that can't be right because Alfie said this in the Everton build up

On paper Everton look far superior then softy Spurs.. I see nothing and repeat nothing for wannabes of the lane... Going for a 3 nil win for Everton.. Guaranteed that I have some money on it.... As for Wednesday no chance.. This team is the worst Spurs side since the 90s.....Lakaku is going to rip the liabilities...
