I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles.....

I did extensive research as I always do for these previews and one google click took me to the Bristol job centre this morning where I came across this advert

"Wanted, one labourer, any literacy not required but full Massey Ferguson licence and practice in five finger shuffle essential"

Can you explain that one to me? I think there's a song about it but I'm not sure of the words......

It's a strange place Bristol. They claim not to like the Welsh but they have a statue of our number 7 there apparantely and it's signposted "Super Swan Great Britton" whilst the Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of the great sights of the modern world which also include Bayo turning down another hamburger and Lee Trundle's goal against Yeovil.

The danger with this preview was that it could slip into Yeovil mode at any moment with reference to cider, tractors and the like. I won't make the mistake of Ambrosia as that's a Devon thing saved for Torquay, Exeter and Plymouth whilst the obligatory scouse mention here goes out purely for JXNeutron from Scouseville who we know is reading. (dedications in previews by request and in writing to JackArmy.net blah blah blah)

The fixture itself is the first the Swans have experienced this season of the 'bubble' nature. And the convoy will set off for White Rock on Saturday at 11. There is no truth in the rumour that Ugo has negotiated a picnic stop by Caldicot Castle with a inter-bus game of rounders to keep everyone amused but it is strongly rumoured that everyone travelling will receive a free packed lunch made by Huw Jenkins personally. Orders are to be made by phone to Huw Jenkins on 01792.............

It's pretty much a full sell out of the Swans allocation for the game and for every two hundred fans travelling we scored a goal in the home fixture. A much better goal to fan ratio then the Drizzle will manage. The sight of Brian Tinnion sitting o his own after the game is one of the defining images of the season for me, clearly he was hoping to watch us play some more total football such was his enjoyment of the day.

Anyhows, onto the team news. Swansea have their 82 strikers all fit and ready to go as Jackett ponders whether they can all fit into the same line up. Smart money is on a starting pairing of Trundle and Fallon but it really is a lottery just not of the £100 million rollover variety. Midfield could see Tom Williams return although he may be needed at the back if penalty king Tatey fails his fitness tests.

For the Drizzle, they are a marked improvement on the shower of shit we saw at White Rock back in September and this will prove to be a tougher test than last time around. Maybe we'll declare at four this time (I'm joking Wurzel, don't go all Tranmere on me)

Anyhow, for those bubbling to Drizzle, enjoy the game. There's a wedding that I have to be at on Saturday. We're all on a Ugo tour with police escorts for the first bubble wedding I've ever been to. Could be fun.

Enjoy it.
