Neither set of fans seem to be that confident ahead of this game. Also could hardly blame Swansea for having one eye on their semi-final against Chelsea in the league cup, that's a huge game for them.
after the last match i am sure she would be gettting that strap on ready to return the favour, brings a whole new meaning to takingh one for the team
I only took her Up The Arse because we had weekend in London.She ****ing hates football and never usually comes to games with me.
Can't stand most of our Squad tbf. We have no chance, as we will field a team of half hearted cowards and get turned over easily 2-0.

Ramsey starts. Hopefully he's playing in the middle where he's actually good. Knowing Wenger though he'll probably stick him out on the wing.
Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Cazorla, Giroud Arsenal substitutes: Martinez, Vermaelen, Santos, Coquelin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski.
Swansea: Vorm, Tiendalli, Chico, Bartley, Davies, Britton (c), de Guzman, Ki, Routledge, Dyer, Graham
I think Ramsey obviously does well in training. I think he is probably a model professional off the pitch which helps him seem ready to play. He has done well on his sub appearances recently so hopefully he is fired up for this game. We may miss pace on his side of the pitch but considering he will be playing in place of Podolski who isn't the fastest player it shouldn't be too different to normal. With walcott out right we still have pace on the counter. I'm glad to see Giroud back in the line up. Walcott has done very well and i think he will get chances in certain games but it's good to have a physical option as well. Giroud has done really well since joining us and i'm pleased to have him. I think he will be a very good player for us over the next couple of seasons. He is the option Chamakh should have been. I'd still like to see us bring in a top quality striker though - rvp/giroud/walcott as central options would have been fantastic, if we can get villa or someone similar to replace rvp then we will be very solid in the central role. I think Giroud having almost got a hatrick as a sub will be feeling confident and he seems fired up for cup games (the way he celebrated in the reading game was hilarious) so i think he will do well today. And Walcott has been on form and i think he will be wanting to show he will play out wide when needed, so i think we will be good going forward. At the back i'm glad to see koscielny getting a game with mert as verm needs to be kept on his toes. The whole team will have been really disapointed at the way we went out of the league cup and the fact we lost to swansea a month or so a go, the players will be out to prove something. I'm expecting a good showing all round from the team.
Our performance against Swansea at home must have been one of our worst performances in the PL this season.Hopefully the team can today take the chance to redeem themselves for that performance.
