TV LIVE a on SKY SPORTS Football from 5pm. SWANS TV ( in a dark room or similar )
MATCH OFFICIALS GAVIN WARD Shaun Hudson and Mark Pottage Fourth Official : Leigh Doughty
This will be Gavin Ward’s third game he has reffed the swans away from home this year. He lives in Surrey with his pet cat, Wilma, his mum and a baby leopard which he rescued from a circus in Bridlington last summer. Some of this isn’t true. However, what we do know is he doesn’t like washing his hands after painting his bedroom, and he has stated to a few personal friends that he will make sure the swans win this game.

EVERY TIME I THINK OF DERBY Lily Savage getting a good dressing down from the Spanish matador.
Yes, every time I think of Derby I think of Lily getting booted up in the air. Probably one of my favourite football memories of recent times. Those flowing locks nearly leaving his thick cranium as he yelped like Gavin Wards cat with a snake up its broadside. Since then Lily has become a so called ‘pundit’ on Radio 5 where he continues to display thick headed verbal spoutage and totally ill informed lunacy in the company of other loons not worthy of mention. Lily is a quality fool, and everyone except him knows it. Swansea fans dislike Lily because he is a prat. He also eats dog food and raw liver. He isn’t hard and his mum has got two bums.
WHAT IS A DERBY ? It’s not the easiest of questions to answer, however we do know that the much talked about Brian Clough was their manager and Stuart Pearce would rather nibble Gavin Wards cats cold turds than say the word ‘Serby’ See what I did there. Derby used to be in Norfolk before the Battle of Britain, but due to the closer proximity of the town to the reich it was moved to Derbyshire where it remains to this day. Roy Macfarlane used to play for Derby, he once picked up Billy Bremner and walked around the pitch with him before eating his left ear. Billy apologised and later died. Here is a picture of Roy and Billy, this was of course before Roy changed his name to Dave McKay. In the background you can see Terry Venables who actually never played for Derby at all. Terrys wife’s name is Myrtle. The referee cutting a fine step towards Macfarlane and Lorimer later did TV voiceovers and came up with the phrase ‘You sunk my battleship’ Bremner was actually playing for Leeds at the time and had ginger hair. Many people still think this game was a Tottenham v Leeds encounter, but that is completely untrue.
Derby is famous for ... The amount of old people’s homes they have in one city. It’s huge amount of OAPs and places for them to live have encouraged the likes of Wayne Rooney to play for the club. Wayne who has an official liking for the older more leathered flesh is now some form of manager at Derby. He is often found wandering around the city centre sniffing an old block of Stilton and winking at any likely female aged over seventy five.
Derby is also something our near neighbours down east don’t like to say.
There will be football news galore very soon
In the meantime here is a badge I took off a six year old kid who was getting all leary with me back in the day when I was proper.
And a picture of our Wayne with an old lady he spent a night with yesterday.

We can’t string three passes together. Nobody has held the ball up front once. A shocker
This - very bad night at the office, I can live with losing (you have to in this league) but to play this poorly for the full 90 mins without a single attempt on target is very difficult to swallow.
Barnsley picking up points & will be a handful on Saturday.

Very disappointing - didn't trouble the keeper, let alone come close to scoring. We've done well in defence this season, but not been great in the opponent's half. We were all encouraged by the performance against Cardiff, but other than that we haven't played well in recent games.

Did that automatically make Ayew retaliate then?
We got nowt from the ref tonight but we didn’t work hard enough . Derby looked like they were playing their first game of the season. Great energy while we had none

Football Manager type stuff by Cooper though, go two goals down and then chuck on every attacking player and hope they do something, no plan B. Rooney did a complete number on him tonight, back down to earth in a big way.

Liam Rosenior looked to be doing most of the conducting on the sidelines.

Awful tonight, truly dreadful with no redeeming features
But only 7 defeats from our last 33 league games
And in the play off positions
And after losing three of our best players from last season in Rodon Brewster Gallagher they’re over achieving and that presents its own problems in terms of high expectations and disappointment when they underperform as they did tonight ( big time )
Onto the weekend and an early chance to put it behind us
Only an idiot would eat a turkey curry on Christmas day
