Match Day Thread Swansea v Arsenal

If we start Gomis then I am afraid this could go the wrong way again. We will have to slow the ball down to allow the clown to take his usual 10 minutes to get back on side. Pick the right side and we can give them a game, still see a 2-1 Arsenal, even with their injuries they will still be super strong. I would take a point now.

If Gomis does start Saturday I will start to wonder whether he either has something over GM or he has something in his contract, no other player in our squad could have had such a bad run of form and continue to be picked.

 

Not confident at all playing your lot on Sunday.. no matter how well we seem to play or how badly you are doing the result has generally been weighted in the favour of the Swans. Hopefully we can pick a win in spite of the unnecessary injuries. Any idea who's in line for a start on Saturday and who is out?

 

Fab
McNaughton , Fernandez , Williams Taylor
Ayew , Ki , Shelvey , Siggy , Montero ,
Gomis
You can pretty well take it to the bank

 

Every Big team we play puts us under the cosh dragon......We have been excellent in defending and trying for a breakaway chance in those games. I don't see any difference in this game even if Arsenal have some injuries. Our defenders will have to be on the ball so to speak and we must bide our time for whatever chances we get......It's worked many times before and it can happen again. I will be happy with a draw and over the moon with a win....

 

Kevin Friend is the referee on Saturday.

 

Think there's no 'Mc' in 'Naughton', Roof. Unless he's got some Scottish blood I've not heard of.

 

Good spot there, McKifflom.

 

Gomis is a quandry, I`d be inclined to play Eder, just to see what he`s like with a start. Either way, we`ve got our work cut out.

Let`s hope we can get back to playing like at the start of the season, then we`ve got a pretty good chance of not losing.

Let`s get going and give Arsene the green monster.

 

Montero is in my FF team so he's guaranteed to fail unlike last season.

 

I've been calling him McNaughton since he arrived , I'm a shingle short of a bundle it appears.

 

Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck, Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, David Ospina and Tomas Rosicky. all missing for Saturday ? . but you still have Cazorla Giroud, Ozil and Sanchez , unless they all break down in training of course , then again If they take their customary stroll by the sea in front of County hall on Saturday morning I may just accidentally wipe them out by falling off my bike , repeatedly

 

We should charge the away fans £62 and £120 for the front row seats like they charge every other club....

 

They don't charge the Swans fans that. On the last few occasions I've been, it's been between £25 and £35

 

I got charged £62 ...they are the most expensive club in the premiership....

Despite being the most lucrative league in the world already, the Premier league has yet again seen an average rise of season ticket prices this year.

Today, football fans have marched to the Premier League headquarters to protest about rising ticket prices. Guardian Sport has asked: 'would you stop attending football matches because of rising ticket prices?'

Last year, the Guardian collected data into the pricing of tickets around the top European leagues with the average season ticket in the Premier league being more expensive than the Bundesliga and La Liga with only the Italian, Serie A, being more expensive, although corporate and VIP tickets were included in their general pricing, making it difficult to have a fair comparison.

Despite an 8% rise of their cheapest available season ticket, Manchester City can boast the best monetary value for football, with a season at the Etihad available for £299.

Arsenal have both the most expensive season ticket in the Premier league and the highest 'lowest priced' season ticket, making them the most expensive team to watch in the UK.

 

2-1 with Ayew opening the scoring and Gomis with the late winner although it's a borderline offside decision

 

Were you in the Arsenal end?? Arsenal has consistently been one of the best value Clubs to visit since we've been back in the Premiership and the most I've paid there has been £35. Of the ones I've been to, the most expensive have been Chelsea and Man U - both over £50.

This year of course, all Swans away fixtures are £22 if you're in the Jack Army membership.

 

Arsenal in recent months have adopted a more conservative style, particularly when going ahead in games. The don't tend to get caught out that much on the break anymore. If we score first, we'll win IMO. We look a lot more comfortable without the ball than we used to and so we'll allow you to have all the possession you need

 

I was trying to figure out what I wanted from the Arsenal game until , I think it was Matt midweek , someone said all they want is some fluency from the team.Soon as I read it , it was what I wanted , not to concerned about who plays or getting points , just fluency from who is picked

 

Such a shame as we don't seem to know what do when we have it atm
