    Literally anyone from Watford in 10th downwards could go down.

    So is that 6 points between 20th-10th? I think it's a good result tbh. Brings so many other teams into play now. Don't know if it's ever been this close after 24 games!

    Pep will be furious at how defensive Swansea were. He won't be able to compute that keeping men behind the ball does actually help with keeping Liverpool quiet - as opposed to being cut open by them at will.

    Stoke beating Huddersfield was a good result. It bought Huddersfield right into it. But I can't see how on earth that logic applies to Swansea winning today. All it's done is to bring them into it, from below!

    Good for a neutral, yes. But not for the sides 10th to 19th.

    It still brings me joy to see Liverpool lose. That will never get stale.

    Swansea don't go above us and what happens next is in our own hands, so ****it - well done Swans, but don't make a habit of winning games.

    10th,11th probably felt safe in the knowledge that Swansea were miles behind.

    Jurgen Flopp strikes again. Most over rated manager in the league

    They could have been 20 points clear of 20th. You're still not going to feel safe if you're only four points clear of 18th.

    Carvahal has got a good few lines in him. Had the lobster and sardines talk a few weeks ago. On how Swansea beat Liverpool: “Liverpool is a top team, they are Formula 1, but if you put a Formula 1 car in London traffic at 4pm, it will not run very fast”

    They dont go above us and we play those around us, our own safety is in our own hands, we cant rely on other teams.

    Couldn't bring myself to watch Liverpool but very mixed feelings now. Swansea pick up points - arrgh, cant anyone just roll over and die this season? VVD ****s up and costs Liverpool a win - HAHAHA.
