    Bony was excellent in his all round display and he is like a rock when he holds the ball up and as Pete says he gets so much power in his headers. Hopefully when Michu returns Bony will hold his form and Michu will find his.

    Annoyed with the pundits today, hardly mentioned how well we had played.

    It was very cold at the COC final, a May final would be much warmer and more fun!

    It's been the same on TV and on radio - all on about the "crisis at Man U". If we're lucky we're mentioned as an afterthought. As if when playing the top teams you may as well not bother turning up because the result is a foregone conclusion. Pathetic!

    The media won't give us any recognition as it will always be about Man Utd.

    lets put this win which i incidentally said we wont have a better chance of doing in perspective. Man uts played their second string, they showed us no respect and it could have gone ether way and took a 90th minute goal to settle it. So we won a game i thought we could do but next week will be a different story where we will struggle against their first team...We took advantage and rightly so of playing our big guns against them as that was the only way we would be able to match them and that's what we did we matched them and got the winner that did not look as if it was going to happen in the 90th minute....job done....not so easy next week...<ok>

    True - and they won't mention the fact we had two key players missing in Dyer and Michu whilst resting three of our regular starters.

    We were missing Michu, Dyer and Pablo. Ash and Rangel didn't start. We had more possession and more shots than they did...... oh, and more goals. No one can predict what will happen next week but the fact is, we played them today and we WON.

    It would be nice to go back to Birmingham and extract some revenge in the next round :)

    Much has been made of Utd being under strength,but no such consideration made re The Swans' missing personnel.

    But hey,the world should be used to the bias in favour of M.U. by now.

    No mention of the fact we also played a second string side then dAi ?

    What a joke, give the team credit when it's due, you just sound bitter otherwise <ok>

    Very proud of that performance,it's been there in the last few games but I'd be lying if I said I would have preferred a cup win to a league win .

    We can't ask for any more though and I'm thrilled by the total football played by us,we looked like vintage Swansea today,as we did against city ,very happy jack tonight I am even though I'm transferring from airport to airport and missing the feed back from the media,luckily got my plane not long after final whistle ! ;)

    Well done Swans, thoroughly deserved victory, the onus was on them as the home team, current champs and supposedly one of the strongest squads in the prem.
    They can't complain about their missing players when the Swans were also missing key players.<ok>

    Absolutely predictable!!! We could be CL winners and still would have something to complain about!!! The guy is just an attention seeker and a wum!!! Confirmation that the guy can't give a rational debate, therefore I will refuse to be sucked into his games!!

    We never had any players missing...we never play the same players to call them regulars so what are you on about....that's my point in its entirety. we don't have a regular line up...<ok>

    So Dai, Vorm, Rangel, Ash, Ben, Michu, Dyer, Pablo (when fit) are not regular first team players?
