2-1, Chambers mugged off by Montero

 

Haha yes swansea !

 

It's 2-1 Swansea! Gomis.

 

Come on Swansea, am watching it with a very excited Swansea fan.. This weekend just could carry on giving

 

All this shows that it would be astonishing if we didn't get some points from these sides. Why would we excel up to November and then lose against the 'top sides' who have shown they are vulnerable.

 

"Football, bloody hell!"


Still our position will only be supposedly "real," if we get results against the teams who've lost against the teams we've beaten

 

Not sure how Swansea have managed to get in Gomis as a reserve striker (probably on more than 50k a week).
Unless he is unhappy at being reserve behind the scenes it gives us hope with being able to sign a Pelle backup (if we chose to go into the market for that)

 

He's only just come on, and Bafetimbi Gomis has his first Premier League goal to put Swansea ahead. Jefferson Montero, electric all night, skins Calum Chambers for the umpteenth time, stands up the cross and Gomis is head and shoulders above the Arsenal defence to head in.

 

Arsenal's defence is so ****ing ****. Sanchez may want to think about moving clubs, he's too good for Arsenal. We need a striker......

 

Calum who?

 

Surely Arsenal must be winning. It is one of the "easy" matches that we have had so far isn't it?
Without Koscielny and Debuchy Arsenal are relying on Sanchez to paper over some substantial cracks. And there is only so much one player can do

 

Let's see, 11 points ahead of Liverpool, Spurs and Everton, 9 ahead of Man United, 8 ahead of Arsenal as it stands, 4 ahead of Man City. Why the hell can we not finish in the top 4? I'm really starting to believe now.

 

But of course Chambers will start for England. There are certain players that Hodgson doesn't even watch and make the team / squad regardless (Smalling, Lambert, Chambers, Everton defence early in the season when they were the worst in the league)

Montero is frighteningly quick, and clearly too quick for Chambers

 

If it stays like this, Swansea will replace Arsenal in 5th and be 7 points behind us.

 

Got him on a free too ............................. well done Swans.

 

Chambers off

 

Swansea are a good side and an example of how you can get promoted and do well in the PL...not all doom and gloom for promoted sides.

 

Gary Monk should really get himself a coat...lived in Wales long enough to know that.

 

Amazing stuff, well done Swansea. Great result for us too.

 

Interesting point from BBC live feed: Arsenal have conceded more headed goals this season than Southampton have conceded goals.
