An amazing result. Would we have beaten them if they had kept 11 men on the pitch? We'll never know, but I suspect 'yes'. One Swans fan is going to have horrendous sunburn tomorrow - did anyone see him in the pre-match build-up?
Unfortunately not. I am listening to Talksport and they are talking about Arsenal and Chelsea regarding last nights games, before that the topic was Man United and Fergies new book as well as the possibility of Global Football League for which there is no plans whatsoever. Can't believe I spent 50p texting them to say they can do much better than that, since the final whistle they haven't even mentioned the word Swansea. And to think only this afternoon that station blames UEFA for not giving the Europa League the prominence they said it deserves.
I think that result will ring out loud and clear tonight across Europe mate. I had a text earlier from an English mate who supports Man City (yes he's from Manchester) asking if we could represent England next season in the Europa too. High praise indeed
I'm sure ML will keep the lads grounded and you will see Palace off, it seems to be coming together now. Just a bit annoyed I missed the game.
Very positive about on the Liverpool Forum - they even like our kit. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=308757.0
I know I had my jack specs on, but it was a fine display. Even to a point where we looked very comfortable and played well within ourselves, very easy in the end.

PG, it's hard enough waking up (or staying awake) for a midweek game when Norwich are playing, so no disrespect meant when I say I am buggered if I am going to try and do it for a Swans game
