Jeremy Simpson will be the man in the middle when Swansea City travel to face Barnsley in the Championship on Saturday (7.45pm). Here we see him protesting to a shopkeeper after being accused of stealing five fruit salad chews. Later it was revealed it wasn’t him but his wife Mrs Simpson who now lives with a bloke called Edward.
Nothing to do with me guv, Jeremy reiterating he doesn’t like fruit salad chews
History
Apart from the play offs penalty shoot out in 2006, in front of 37,418 Swansea City fans in Cardiff - Barnsley haven’t beaten Swansea in Fifteen games stretching back to November 1983. Barnsley won that day 3-2. The last time the clubs met was at the Liberty only 29 days prior to this reverse fixture, the swans won 2-0 with Jamal Lowe scoring after two minutes. You could say the swans gave Barnsley a walkabout that day.
Dickies Bird
Famous white coat, butcher lookalike apron wearing Richard Bird is a native of Barnsley, he is a British nationalist who is a huge supporter of the Union of Britain. He once headed a group of 200 people asking Scotland to remain British before the Scotland devolution vote. Harold Dennis Bird would have been proud had he not been the same person. Dickie never married using the excuse he was married to cricket. Now at the age of 109 and locked down in the Oval with only his dodgy wrist and a potato peeler Dickie may well be having second thoughts.
Dickie giving it the finger, not once has he visited a ladies part with that digit
A Barnsley did you know ?
Did you know that the World famous Arctic Monkeys studied at Barnsley College? As did the 1990s band The Darkness. The heavy metal band Saxon started their rock carrier playing in the local pubs of Barnsley before hitting the big time and becoming one of the most famous bands in the world. Black comedian Charlie Williams (1928—2006) was born in Barnsley, he was an ex-professional footballer and stand-up genius. Harry Worth (1917—1989), actor, comedian and ventriloquist was also from Barnsley, wore a hat and did odd things in shop windows, invented the fart.
Barnsley were once likened by their fans as ‘just like watching Brasil’ This was when they were in the premier league. Alan Brazil, the overweight and indulgent Talk Sport host is a larger than life beetroot. Just for the record.

Coronation Street is filmed in the dales of Yorkshire, when it was called Emmerdale Farm people used to go and watch episodes being filmed, it was always very blustery and windy hence the term ‘Blowing a Gail’ This term was often used by people watching the filming.

Barnsley latest
It could also be the first chance to see new signings Liam Kitching and Carlton Morris. Both recruits were cup-tied last weekend but could well be in contention for the visit of Swansea on Saturday evening.
Key Threat
Woodrow has been a consistent scorer for Barnsley ever since joining from Fulham, and it has proved the case again this term with the striker having 10 goals in all competitions, while also weighing in with four assists. Captain Mowatt has chipped in with four goals from midfield, plus two assists, while the lovely Conor Chaplin also carries a threat in the final third. Wing-back Callum Styles, meanwhile, has excelled after making his breakthrough following lockdown last year.
Team news
Barnsley: Jack Walton, Callum Styles, Mads Andersen, Callum Brittain, Herbie Kane, Cauley Woodrow, Conor Chaplin, Michael Sollbauer, Alex Mowatt (captain), Victor Adeboyejo, Michal Helik.
Substitutes: Carlton Morris, Luke Thomas, Patrick Schmidt, Tom Sibbick, Romal Palmer, Clarke Oduor, Dominik Frieser, Jasper Moon, Ben Collins.
Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Kyle Naughton, Ben Cabango, Marc Guehi; Connor Roberts, Korey Smith, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Jake Bidwell; Jamal Lowe, Andre Ayew.
Substitutes: Ben Hamer, Ryan Manning, Wayne Routledge, Liam Cullen, Yan Dhanda, Joel Latibeaudiere, George Byers, Oli Cooper, Jordon Garrick.
Referee: Jeremy Simpson
Kyle Naughton - having returned from a side strain against Stevenage in the FA Cup - starts a league game for the first time since the defeat at Derby before Christmas.
He comes in at the expense of Ryan Manning in the only change to the side that started that victory over the Hornets.
New signing Ben Hamer is named among the substitutes following his move from Huddersfield.
Freddie Woodman starts in goal, with Naughton joining Marc Guehi and Ben Cabango in the Swans back three.
Connor Roberts and Jake Bidwell take the wing-back roles, while Korey Smith, captain Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton will once again form the midfield unit.
In-form forwards Jamal Lowe and Andre Ayew are partnered together in attack, while Joel Latibeaudiere is fit enough for a place on the bench after recovering from a calf injury.

We did very well to get a result against them last time.
They pressed us high, hard and narrow preventing us from using our WBs. Would like to see us beef up the midfield and add Manning to the mix. A proper canny terrier, in stark contrast to the lightweight Dhanda who was inconspicuous and got brushed aside. |  |

Agreed. Thought Dhanda was awful against Stevenage. A series of simple passes in the second half were all short or misdirected | | | |

It showed how much we missed grimes.
I think dhanda plays well when 2 of fulton/smith/grimes are playing behind him.

Looks like Lati may be back for this one, another gem in the making.
Watching our young guns going out there, kicking on with such confidence and belief in what they and what we are about, is as good as it gets..
Especially as we're doing it with canny financial prudence. Deja vu, anybody ? | |

Tonight my thoughts on the Barnsley game looking at their league position and form ect would be that a Swans win would obviously be good, a draw would be average for a playoff promotion chasing team and a draw would be mediocre for an automatic promotion chasing team, a loss would be poor.
I hope we can win to try and make up for the bad result we had at home to Reading a couple of games ago. |  |

Good points. How would you set-up against a hard working, high tempo, high pressing Barnsley ? We need to counter and punch with venom. | |

I get your frustration, but as you often say no point harking back. Absolutely no point, whatsoever - other than as a platform to bounce off.
Swans play and box clever - the team, management and its supporters. Our sustainable model is being canny in the market, Scott and Cooper are doing the business. | |

Pity Manning didn't get a go, in a 4132.
Hoping they don't swamp our midfield and drive us deep into Cabango. And we don't have the option of a dink on to a #10 to bypass their marauders.
Could be squeaky for a bit. | |
