    It's in our own hands - just as it was for Leicester last year!

    It's the total lack of 'savvy' & just the apparent sheer lack of balls in our squad that's the biggest worry for me!! We lack so much 'football' common sense on the pitch it's disgusting....

    My concern is other results are giving us so much opportunity to crawl out of this mess ......and we crawling at a snail's pace .Law of Average says helpful results will dry up soon and we best be ready to "Do It Ourselves " .
    Arsenal away would be a good scalp to take to get the ball rolling ..
    We don't have a striker problem anymore , but we've grown new problems it seems .

    It's about getting your head up,rolling your sleeves up,growing balls and getting on with it not expecting it to fall into place.

    We are fukd!

    I really don't know where you get you're optimism from, Breezy, I really don't. Not knocking you for it though. <ok>

    Sunderland got a point tonight and Bournemouth won and that result has opened up daylight. Not good. The trapdoor is opening.

    That's the main problem, we're in a fvckin fight here, it seems other teams are aware of it, but we keeping thinking it's a stroll around in the local park on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. "Wake up & smell the coffee cvnts"!! We're in a 'dogfight' here & somehow our players can't seem to see it!!!!
    It's not for me that they don't care or not trying, it's as I alluded when I posted earlier. Do our players have 'savvy', are our players just fvckin stupid?? Is there not one of them realising the predicament we're in. Someone grabbing hold of this plight we're in, going mental with the apathy & leading the team with the drive & focus needed to get ourselves away from it. By fvck we've got the talent, we just haven't got the 'brains'.....

    3 managers in 5 weeks .........a board that's gone sour over a 2 year period .........mixing up having "our best team ever " with our "best players ever" , there's a big difference......wasting time and money on transfers to get the team going forward the last few windows ( barring Paloschi ) .
    But even with all that against us , I believe we will pull out of it the next 6 weeks .......shoot me !

    I don't agree with any of you who say the players are not trying. Where I think we are going wrong is we are not attacking enough and getting enough balls into the area. This is down to poor tactics, management and coaching in training.

    Per the Beeb

    "Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been ruled out for up to eight weeks with the knee injury he suffered against Barcelona last week.

    Danny Welbeck is likely to be rested, having only just come back from a 10-month injury lay-off.

    Swansea City are at full strength for their trip to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

    On-loan midfielder Leroy Fer could be handed his first start since joining from QPR in January."

    Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin will miss tonight’s Barclays Premier League fixture at Arsenal.

    Guidolin has been struggling with a chest infection for over a week and after failing to respond fully to medical treatment, was referred to a respiratory specialist at a London hospital this afternoon.

    The specialist felt that the best course of action was for Guidolin to remain in hospital for a few days to receive furthertreatment.He is in a comfortable position and is expected to recover fully in a few days.

    Everyone at Swansea City wishes him a speedy recovery.AlanCurtis will carry out his duties during his recovery period.

    Keeping the big boys for Norwich.

    Interesting line up, looking forward to see if they put a shift in.

    No real pace and nobody to mark Mertesaker obviously going for a draw but good to see Kingsley start.

    Definitely a case of making sure we are firing on all cylinders against Norwich!
