Swansea v. Arsenal match thread

yes and rightly so

 

No argument from me,I was merely disputing the alleged anti-Swans' bias of Mr.Dowd.

 

To be fair to Keith, Dowd is always biased in favour to big clubs no matter who the opposition is.

 

Vetch - yes, of course! I suspect that some believe that having awarded 2 pens (correctly) at Wembley, then he won't be doing us any favours from thereon in?

Some would say that Chico was "harshly" shown a red by Dowd last season, and we were denied a good penalty shout today.

You pays your money .....

 

I happen to think that Wenger has been one of the greatest managers of the Premier league, and while I know many Arsenal fans want him out, you had a great season last season, Cup win and all, but at the minute you are a mixed bag, but still there in the top frame, just need a few players to settle on the ball, Ramsey in particular, I can see you still having a good season, so all the best for the rest of this seasons games!.............

 

I thought it was a nailed on penalty?

 

......yes,and has given us absolutely nothing ever since!

 

Phil - so did I !

 

Well said MA

 

There's a few interesting post match fans reaction videos on their match day thread. By all accounts the arsenal fans were fighting with each other in the stands.

 

Yep, watched that video - didn't see any fighting myself, but then the same little Gooner said 'Swansea fans taking the piss - who are Swansea anyway?' Arrogant little tosser

 

That made me laugh

 

She said he's a lazy git!

 

Interesting!!................ Hell has the end of the world arrived or what..........

 

Was always going to be a close game. In the end Chamber's inexperience was what Swansea exploited for the win. Fair play. The Arsenal board will be a shambles until the International Break (as if that's new). Disappointed to throw away a win but I'm not going to lose my head, start claiming that people who don't support my opinion are not "real" fans, be a prick to Roth teas (except for Chavski, Spurs and Manure), or hurl abuse at the players and manager.
Good luck in the rest of your season. Looks like Chavski will run away with the Prem. Up to us to try and nick 2nd from City.

 

I'm sure you'll go on to have a good season, and while many of your fans are calling for Wenger out, because little old Swansea won the game, yes we might be a little club, but our football is big, and that's all that matters come pitch time!............

 

Swansea is always one of my favorite games tbh. Always a close contest with nice technical play. Siggy's freekick was excellently taken. Hope you lot push on for Europa or if possible a CL spot (can't be any worse than Liverpool )
I think we're in a bad rut but once Kos, Debuchy and Arteta return things will pick up and hopefully we find our rhythm and momentum soon as well as defensive composure. Sadly I think 12 points is too big to overhaul but I think we can still push City for 2nd and maybe win the FA Cup again. I doubt we'll win the CL but depending on who we get we can have a good run.
Sadly the Arsenal Board is depressing as hell right now so I'm just wandering through the other boards. Also this is comedy gold.

Grown men arguing like children This season is top banter even if the footy is drab.

 

I've seen that one and the others, comedy gold!..... I have always had a soft spot the Gunners, and loved the Thierry Henry days, my favourite quote picked up in the Guardian on my cyber travels this evening was this: "Chambers being burned down the wing was even more predictable than Swans taking to water".......






Oh hang on maybe this one wins!

Sorry!.............

 

Yep he did. I missed it at the time but saw it on MOTD.

 

Fair play, that gave me a good chuckle
