Lets bury them early n often. In watching that United fixture, Swansea is completely all over the place n there for the taking
Bring Capoue and Sandro in to lock it all down.
No more dilly dallying at the Lane. Time to lay the screws GS

Swansea actually played well against United until they got to the final third and they couldn't pick their way through. 4-1 was not an accurate reflection of that game, this is not gonna be easy.
Looks like Swansea are up for the challenge:capouestare:.
All we need to do is practise bicycle kicks and we are sorted.
I think Paulinho tried one today.
Tried and failed, hence why we need to practice them:holtbytongue:
I'm sort of looking forward to it, as it will be the first time I see our new signings, but I'm not that confident its gonna be a walk in the park. Still today's result hopefully will give the players confidence to give Swansea a tonking.

Making my first trip to the Lane for Sunday's match v Swansea. Where is the proper spot to meet up with local 1882 folks for a drink beforehand?
Tottenham Hotspur host Swansea City at White Hart Lane on Sunday 25th August 2013 (KO 16:00) in the 2nd round of matches in the 2013-14 Premier League season.
Tottenham won their opening game of the season 1-0 at Crystal Palace while Swansea lost 1-4 at home to Manchester United. This will be the 42nd time the two teams have met.
Swansea City were founded in 1912 as Swansea Town (they changed their name to Swansea City in 1969) and joined the Second Division of the Southern League for the 1913-14 season. After World War One, The Jacks became members of the SL First Division and joined the Football League in season 1920-21 when the Southern League was incorporated to form the Third Division of the Football League. The following season the division was re-named the Third Division South.
The first meeting between Spurs and Swansea came in the Second Division in November 1928 at Vetch Field with the home side winning 4-0. The reverse fixture in March 1929 at White Hart Lane ended in a 1-1 draw.
The clubs met for a further eight seasons in Division Two between seasons 1930-31 and 1938-39 with 10 wins for Spurs, 2 wins for Swansea and 4 matches drawn.
During the Second World War, the clubs played two games in the Football League South with a win each.
The clubs played for two more seasons in Division Two after WW2 with three wins for Spurs and one for Swansea.
Spurs and Swansea have played five games in the Football League Cup, the first of which came in the second round in September 1970 with Tottenham winning 3-0 at the Lane with goals from Steve Perryman, Martin Peters and Roger Morgan.
Eight years later, Swansea drew with Spurs 2-2 at Vetch Field in the second round first leg and won 3-1 at White Hart Lane.
The most recent League Cup meetings came in the second round in 1991 with Swansea winning 1-0 at home in the first leg and Spurs winning 5-1 at White Hart Lane with goals from Paul Stewart, Vinnie Samways, Gary Lineker, Paul Allen and an own goal.
Swansea City won promotion to the Top Flight of English Football for the first time in season 1981-82 and were league leaders at one stage before finishing in 6th position. The match at Vetch Field in September 1981 resulted in a 2-1 win for The Swans with Glenn Hoddle scoring for Spurs, while the return match at the Lane in May 1982 was won 2-1 by Spurs with Gary Brooke scoring both goals.
A similar set of results came in Swansea's second season in Division One with a 2-0 home win in Swansea and a 1-0 home win in Tottenham.
The two clubs came in a friendly played in Swansea in November 1992, which resulted in a 3-3 draw.
Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City have never met in the FA Cup. Swansea became the first Welsh club to play in the Premier League by winning the play-off against Reading at Wembley 4-2 thanks mainly to a Scott Sinclair hat-trick.
The fixture at the Liberty Stadium in December 2011 finished in a 1-1 draw with Spurs going ahead just before half-time through Rafael van der Vaart but Swansea salvaged a point with a late equaliser from Scott Sinclair. Rafael van der Vaart put Spurs 1-0 up at halftime in the match at White Hart Lane in April 2012 with a 19th minute goal. Sigurdsson equalised for Swansea in the 59th minute but a brace from Emmanuel Adebayor secured the three points for Spurs.
During the 2012 summer Tottenham Hotspur signed Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson from 1899 Hoffenheim but who had been on loan at Swansea City for the 2011-12 season. The game at White Hart Lane in December 2012 was won by a Jan Vertonghen goal scored in the 75th minute. Swansea won the first major trophy in their history in February 2013 when they beat Bradford City in the Football League Cup Final 5-0.
The game at Liberty Stadium at the end of March 2013 was won 2-1 by Spurs. Jan Vertonghen put Spurs ahead after 7 minutes and Gareth Bale added a second on 21 minutes. Swansea pulled a goal back through Miguel Michu on 71 minutes.
Overall, Spurs have won 23, Swansea have won 10 and 8 of the 41 matches played so far between the two clubs have been drawn.

Closest 3 are probably the Bill Nick, Bricklayers or the Bell & Hare if that's actually open.
Thanks, appreciated! What is the average size of a pint in a pub, just for comparison. Cheers.
