    Swans v Man City

    Well here it is, the long awaited David and Goliath clash between top of the Premier League Man City and Championship strugglers Swansea this afternoon.
    Man City are hammering teams at the moment and come to us fresh from their 7-0 hammering of Schalke 04 last Tuesday to cruise into the quarter finals of the Champions League.
    We come off the back of a resounding defeat at West Brom 3-0 last Wednesday.
    To any Man City supporters reading this, if they didn’t already know -
    We dumped 19 players last summer, including the three loanees, after PL relegation. We also got rid of three key players in the January transfer window, Bony, Carroll and Montero, and it would have been 5, but Fer and James transfers failed last minute.
    It is thanks only to our U23’s from last season that have stepped up to the first team to make us competitive and rescued us from another relegation. Our American hedge fund owners have put us on a crash course to oblivion with their desperate selling of player assets to recover their investment.
    So is it any wonder we are struggling, what team wouldn’t, even Man City, if they’d just lost 22 players.
    Our only ray of hope is that this is a one off game and it is the FA Cup where anything can happen
    Unfortunately our 18 goal top scorer is out again. McBurnie misses his third straight game through the sickness bug.
    Naughton has groin and hamstring injuries after the West Brom match and is a doubt.
    Carter-Vickers picked up a knock but is expected to start. Our captain Fer is still out injured and also full back Olsson.
    Man City will be without key first team stars John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne and Vincent Kompany, and they also have long-term injuries to Fernandinho and Mendy.

    What a match!
    Swans certainly gave Man City a fright as they romped into a two goal lead at half time, with a penalty from Grimes and a beaut from Celina against his old club.
    The score stayed that way until the 69th minute, Silva equalising with a fine shot. The renowned diver Sterling gained a penalty that wasn’t in the 78th minute when big team biased Marriner decided to even things up after Vickers tackled cleanly and got a touch to the ball. Aguero misses hits the left post bounces off Nordfelt and into the net, own goal!
    More controversy two minutes from time Aguero clearly offside heads into the left hand corner, but the dozey linesman missed the call.
    If VAR was in operation the score would have been 2-1 to the Swans.
    Curses to the FA who decided only PL grounds could use it in this competition, how biased and unfair of them.
