    This isn't going to be fun

    46 minutes of them passing it around in front of our 9 man defence
    34 minutes of time wasting
    5 minutes of long throws
    5 minutes of waiting for Kieffer to come on for a 'disappointing' James Collins

    Hopefully not 3 hours of them then celebrating with their rather strange fans

    Not looking forward to this one bit. Would take a boring 0-0 now

    James Linington has been appointed the referee for Sunday's derby clash.

    The official has never taken charge of a South Wales derby, however he has been the man in the middle for both sides on many occasions.

    For Cardiff, their record is outstanding with Linington in charge, winning a staggering 16 of the 19 games in which he has been the whistleman.

    The Bluebirds have won each of their last previous seven matches with the official in charge, the latest of which was the 3-1 win over Millwall earlier this season.

    In contrast, the Swans have won only four of their last 11 matches with the referee in charge.

    The most recent match in which Linington officiated the Swans saw Bournemouth earn all the points in a 3-0 victory on the south coast earlier in the campaign.

    Rob Smith and Nigel Lugg will be the assistants for the clash while Darren Drysdale will be the fourth official.



    It'll be Sods Law. We're doomed!

    Sam Bowen's not in the Wales u21 squad tonight. Is he injured?

    Don’t forget their players going down every time they jump up with KM, he’ll probably get sent off……

    My preferred team:

    Smithies

    Sang
    McGuinness
    Flint (or Morrison if fit)
    Bagan

    Pack
    Ralls
    Bowen (if fit)

    Giles
    Moore
    Harris



    Realistically though I foresee Mick returning to 5 at the back to try and soak up their passing. 3-0 Jacks, goodbye Mick.

    Re: SWANSEA CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    I'd go with that. Didn't Sang have a toe injury though, so maybe Ng instead?

    It'll be at least 4 centre backs though I reckon.

    No Chance

    This is No Risk Mick we are talking about here. His first priority will be not to lose the game whichich will be his un doing

    Smithies

    McGuiness at RB
    The magician at LB

    Nelson Flint Morrison at centre halves

    (I fully expect the 5 centre halves 3 holding midfielders against one Swansea striker)

    The dynamic midfield of Bacuna, Ralls and Pack

    Giles playing on the wrong side

    Collins will come in for Kief as Mick will say he was fresher after a grueling trip away for Moore

    One thing about our Mick is he's pretty predictable. This is the side he thinks has least chance of losing not most chance of winning

    I like Mick would take a draw but that side will lose even to a very ordinary Swansea side

    Which came first - the “get into them” or the “f**k them up”?

    Surely one must "get in them" before on can "f**K them up"?

    Hopefully Mick can build on the fairly encouraging display against Reading and realise the 5 had maybe reached the end of its usefulness

    Doubt it though. He'll revert to type, the defence will definitely have at least 4 centre backs

    3-0 to us with Swansea at 94% possession.

    Huge boost for Swansea ahead of Sunday's clash with Cardiff as Ryan Bennett, Olivier Ntcham and Michael Obafemi have all returned to training.

    Re: SWANSEA CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    Absolutely dreading this one. You just know he's going to revert to five at the back.

    Ah yes, the message board's occasionally dip into culture, this time discussing musical lyrics.

    Team for Sunday.
    Phillips and Smithies.

    Nelson, Morrison, Brown, Flint, Pack

    Bacuna, Ralls, Bagan

    Collins.

    He’s decided to go for 2 keepers and 5 Centre Backs as he wants all out attack

    That’s positive. They can both go up for corners.

    crumbs, is this tomorrow..?

    the least build up to any derby match I can recall, not feeling positive either.. 2-1 to the inbreds..

    Re: SWANSEA CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    If we win this it's a total fluke.
    3-0

    Re: SWANSEA CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    Mick McCarthy won his first South Wales derby game when Aden Flint headed the winner at The Liberty back in March. If McCarthy's side fall to a sixth straight League defeat on Sunday then this game is likely to be the last derby he presides over.

    "I’ve had a few derbies in my life," McCarthy said. "They are always intense, high profile and I love that about them.

    "If you can win them then they are brilliant. If you get beat in them it leaves you pretty low, even more so the fans, because it's important for them.

    "Players and managers come and go but fans are always there. They like the bragging rights from the derby games."

    When asked he he felt under pressure McCarthy said:

    "When that question is asked, it’s always about the job. That's the meaning behind, 'are you feeling under pressure?'

    "I fully understand that if you lose games you lose your job. That’s not what creates the pressure for me. What creates the pressure is the game against Swansea, to try and win it.

    "I’m under pressure to get a performance and a result, if we do, that'll be brilliant, because that's what I want. If we don’t, I fully understand the rules of the game.

    "I try not to let that pressure and all that noise behind me affect what I'm doing for the Swansea game."
