    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.

                  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

                        "**** them up, get into them"

                          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
