I've just been handed this stat, which makes my heart sink:

Swansea have had the most shots in a PL game since October (14 also v Stoke where they didn't score).

Angel Rangel has been struggling for a few minutes so Swansea will make a switch at right-back. On comes Kyle Naughton.

We've descended into farce...

"The second half is taking a while to ignite, but that stupendous volley from Jack Cork - well saved by Adrian - might just do it.

"Up until then, the best touch of the half had come from Swansea caretaker manager Alan Curtis, deftly flicking the ball to Angel Rangel so the Swans full-back could take a throw-in.

"Curtis may be 61 but, as I can testify from the annual match between Swansea's staff and members of the media, the former Wales forward has still got it."

"James Collins has gone down holding his head but it was kidology - it hit him on the arm!

"That's not like Collins - it should have been a penalty.

"Why is he still holding his head? Ah he was caught by Ki on the follow through, who came down heavily on Collins."

Swansea have a bit more zip about them now and the home fans sense it, The noise is lifting. I'm certain we'll get a goal.

The season of goodwill to all men eh?

Well Ki's shot definitely hit Collins's hand. It's point-blank and at first glance you think he's got no chance of getting out of the way. But the more I watch the more it looks like his hands are right up in the air.

Collins by the way held his head afterwards, as if he was in pain after it struck him on the cranium. Crafty boy.

Adrian follows up that super save by flapping at the corner. His defenders help him out.

The pace has lifted.

Ki Sung-yueng is through and James Collins dives in front of the shot from six yards. Handball though?

"What a strike it was from Jack Cork and an equally good save from Adrian, no wonder he's being congratulated by all his defenders."

We've woken up a bit now.

Jack Cork hits a sweet as you like volley from the edge of the area that Adrian stops from flying into the top corner.

Mauro Zarate off. Enner Valencia on for West Ham.

Swansea have two shots. Andre Ayew's is blocked.

Ki Sung-yueng's is prevented from moving after it hits a West Ham player.

I'm aware that's the same as a block but I wanted to liven things up.

The toilets at Kings Cross only cost 30p too, unlike a ticket to the Liberty.

Still a rip-off that though isn't it?

Michail Antonio runs forward down the wing. It goes out for a throw-in.

That's all I've got I'm afraid.

Is Pinocchio really on? Or are you telling porkies?

Bit of Disney banter there for you.

This is pretty dull.

So, what's everyone hoping to get for Christmas?

G S Webster: #bbcfootball, external Tika taka is great when done properly. English sides are much better at faffing around, or to borrow a phrase, Fiffa faffa.

Lewis Keefe: Tiki taka is quick safe short passes that keeps play compact by pressing to the halfway line. Need attacking players to work #bbcfootball, external

Timothy Jarvis: #bbcfootball, external#TikiTaka, external The number of successful passes made can't be irrelevant. It's like body blows in boxing, wears your opponent down.

Wouldn't mind some tiki taka type attacking in this game to be honest...

West Ham string some passes together. Unfortunately one of them is into the hoardings.

West Ham want a penalty as Ashley Williams handles the ball while falling over. I'd let him off, namely because he's falling over. The ref agrees.
