Think avb will go for dawson instead of kaboul as i think we are taking it slow with him after his long absence 2 games in a week might be pushing it

Really look forward to this match. Just hope we can Continue our form from the tbilisi match. Thank god they show the game ón Danish tv.

Can anyone tell me whether I can still get into WHL if I arrive 30 mins late or at half time?

Amswers much appreciated

I was at the Palace game, Vertonghen was injured at the end, same ankle as pre season. I will be amazed (and pleased) if he starts. Expect Kaboul and Dawson.

Im up early and off to the lane in a few hours, funny because loads of new quality players should be pleased. Cant help being a little sad that after last season, no more Bale.

I expect a tight game with Swansea playing 8 at the back, 1-0 to us and our new strength and power all over the pitch to wear them down. I hope Townsend starts. COYS

Firstly I hope Townsend's performance on Thursday earns him a start, and secondly I really hope Sandro, Vertonghen and Holtby all at least make the bench today.

So, what's the score with sky not providing highlights of this one via football first?

If i'm not mistaken isn't Andros on a 3 match ban for the betting?

Don't think so, he was on the bench for Palace last week.

The Tottenham Hotspur winger, who became the first current Premier League player to be punished for the offence, was handed a four-month ban on Tuesday by an independent regulatory commission, three months of which were suspended until July 1, 2016.

Townsend has avoided missing the start of next season, with his one-month ban backdated to May 23, the day he withdrew from the England squad for the Under-21 European Championship finals in the wake of his FA charge. He was also fined £18,000.

Very excited about today's game and gutted its bit on tv!

Think we'll go pretty much the same as Thursday night with Jan coming in for Kaboul and walker for naughton. Really hope Townsend starts!

And hope the crowd stay with the team throughout as well!

Firstly I hope Townsend's performance on Thursday earns him a start, and secondly I really hope Sandro, Vertonghen and Holtby all at least make the bench today.

Okay, since it looks like Verts, Holtby, and Sandro are not fit enough to start, I want to see this:

Lloris​

​

Walker Dawson Kaboul Rose​

​

Paulinho Kapoue​

​

Lennon Dembele Chadli​

​

Soldado​

THEN, have this starting line up on Thursday against Tblisi:

Friedel​

​

Naughton Dawson Fryers Rose ​

​

Sandro Carroll​

​

Townsend Holtby Sigi​

​

Defoe​

AVB could give BAE a go as a "goodbye" game for him...

Must rest Verts to ensure he's good for the long haul... COYS!!!!! (bring back the clappng smilie)

I am away all day so can't watch this online, if someone could pm me a link if there is any way to watch the whole game back this evening I'd appreciate it.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Bit early in the season for all this "must win" bollocks isn't it?

I don't think so. Every game should be "must win" if we want to be contenders

It always puzzles me that people consider end if seasons games as "must win" but you never hear that about early season games. Points are points, Swansea at home is a game we should be winning, because we should be better than them, so for me regardless of when in the season it is its a "must win"!

 

[Yorkshireyiddo]

Thought this was on tv. Any idea how I can watch it?

 

[scat1620]

I think AVB will start Lennon and have Townsend on the bench today. That's not what I'd do if I were in charge, but that's what I think will happen.

Play in-form players. Golden rule. And I'm sure AVB will.

So title winners go all season winning every game? I think people are misunderstanding the word "must".

Nothing wrong with aiming to win, but saying must win implies that if you lose it's all over, which is why it's aimed at the end of the season normally.

I want us to win, I hope we win, but if we don't it doesnt mean our season is over, therefore not must win.
