[Albion] Am I the only one feeling more and more tense? . . .

Big game - most of them have felt like that this season though. Rightly or wrongly I'm feeling positive though

Am I the only person who, with potentially our biggest game so far this season just three days away now, beginning to tense up as the big day draws closer?

More tense on here than Glastonbury.

3-1 to the Albion, J-Lo will slay the Welsh.

It does bug me when people use selective data. Why only use the last 5 league games when most form tables comprise the last 6 games, oh, would that be because the 6th game was a defeat and wouldn't back up your premise that Swansea are on an unbeaten roll...?

Apologies - I just googled Premier League form and that was the first result.

Here's the six game form:

1 Manchester City 6 4 0 0 14 3 0 1 1 4 5 10 13
2 Liverpool 6 1 1 0 6 5 3 0 1 7 2 6 13
3 Tottenham Hotspur 6 3 1 0 8 1 0 2 0 3 3 7 12
4 Manchester United 6 2 0 0 5 0 2 0 2 3 3 5 12
5 AFC Bournemouth 6 2 0 0 4 2 1 2 1 7 7 2 11

I think we are going to win so not worried, well not until 3 p.m on Saturday!
 


:bhasign:Given our performances the last 5 games, I'm feeling fairly relaxed. However ask me again 3pm Saturday and despite having had a beer I'll probably say different. Got to get at them
From the off and I really would like to see Locadia start with Murtay but trust Hughton with whoever he puts out. The team, now we've added firepower, is looking more than capable of doing the business.:bhasign:

Swansea have won 3 games in the last 6 but all at home. Away wins = Zero

Our home form is good, so I am calm and keeping the faith!

Am I being overly optimistic, but looking at that table, is it unreasonable to think that the forthcoming home game against the Arse might just be a tad winnable......?


Just for now, let's beat Swansea. That'll do for now!

Doesn't show the two cup wins! Form is better than what the table suggests!
And - if we bring in the Cup - Swansea were utter woe in the first draw away at Notts County and lucky to get away without defeat.

From what I’ve seen, Swansea haven’t actually been playing that well and have been riding their luck.

Swansea will be so, so tough. The run they’re on means far more than their league position. It will be a very hard game and I can see NSC going into meltdown when they turn us over - just to warn you.

This, though hopefully we just about have enough.

Going to need big support on Saturday.

If we draw, I think we’ll need an unexpected win elsewhere.

Oddly not tense at all. Will be at the game on Saturday, which will make it the first time in years I've managed to get to back to back Saturday 3 p.m. kick offs. The team seem to finding a little bit of their mojo and I'm simply enjoying the ride at this stage. If we end up being relegated it really isn't the end of the world contrary to what some posters on here would have you believe. We could be in Coventry's position, or ours twenty years ago. I've got a great club to follow and my daughter has the bug too so all is rosy in my Albion garden.

Not so tense anymore as there really isn't anything that I can do about.
Happier with the new arrivals and I think we will just make it through, though will go out of the cup against Manure.
