    To play that badly and yet win is the stuff of champions. Very pleased with Gardos who didn't put a foot wrong. Not so with Long who needs to work on his crossing.

    Neverthelss, a great result.

    Well this is just brilliant this winning lark. Only got the last 20 mins, so interested to see hear match reports. Gardos looked comfortable from what I saw.

    very satisfying to get the points today, when most players looked decidedly average!. Well played Wanyama, always makes me feel safer when he is on the pitch and a very determined goal

    This is hard, really hard to say, but come on West Ham - really would make the rest of my day should they beat Schadenfreude FC later.

    You were unlucky today after a dominant first half, but Bony was a berk doing what he did.

    Cannot understand why some think Bony was not two yellows... Great result and we deserved it over 90 mins.

    I disagree that we are fortunate with Bony's sending off. We might possibly have been fortunate with Fonte's NON sending off, but no fortune in what happened to Bony. If you chose to play aggressively, it gives you an edge - but comes with risks. Bony's aggression was working for him - but it was risky. The risk didn't pay off in the end.

    Gardos was excellent. A real footballing CB.

    i know the sending of was a great bonus, but you still have to beat the 10 men. Lots of teams have come a cropper in that situation. Well done relegation certs!

    There have been many games in the last 2 seasons where we`ve played better than the opposition, and still drawn or lost, so we`ll take that.

    He did have one bad decision. That time around 87/88th minute when he probably tried to anticipate and intercept a pass, but Swansea's player managed to flick the ball to Siggurdson who had loads of space in front of him on the right side, left empty by Grados stepping forward. At least I think it was him.

    Other than that, he was really good. In line for a start against Arsenal, I would think.
