    He is not much of a pundit but he said nice things about our club this afternoon, he said how much he loved watching us play football and that we play ultimate football , thanks for the kind words Andrew cole.

    My thoughts on the game today , well i thought Bolton were crap! considering they have some "name" players in their experienced squad they wernt up to much , there must be a total lack of confidence in their team , in fact i thought Pratley was one of their best players!

    The Swans did well and Joe Allen is adding a £ 1m pounds to his value with every game he plays! awesome yet again.

    Intresting point regarding the article about our fitness , anybody notice how knackered dyer was at the end? didnt have the energy to celebrate the goal with DG even!! pulled up with cramp a few minutes before aswell

    The after game stats showed that Joe allen covered most miles 9,5
    then if i remember correctly it was
    rangel 9,1m
    dyer 9,1m
    Sinclair 9,1m

    intresting with scott sinclair covering about the same distance as the top 2 not as lazy as some may think!

    Joe allen is way out in front in terms of millage covered and i thought he was way out in front generally speaking for 90mins . Pleased DG scored again he is starting to look clinical at either end of the pitch now!!

    One gripe ,nearly gave me a heart attack when the OG went in !! why do our team spend so much time trying to kill their own supporters !! for once it would nice to watch a comfortable home win without any drama!! but i guess that wouldnt be the swans

    On to Liverpool next week and we must show them zero respect, if Norwich can go there and give a performance then so can we ,the canaries have showed there is nothing to be afraid of so lets get stuck in and not worry about swapping shirts with the liverpool guys until we have been into them for the full 90mins with guts ,passion and ability.

    who else thought Brenden learnt from the wWolves game today ?? could have been another disaster if he had changed too much, as it was we got another goal something that should have happened against wolves !!

    Glad Brenden is taking in the lessons and learning from them :)

    Good points Norway. We need to go to Liverpool believing we can get a result. Brendan (;))looked like he learnt his lessons as you say, and hopefully he'll have something up his sleeve for Kenny!

    Agree scott, im watching the Liverpool game right now and i honestly dont think we should be worried about Liverpool they are not in the same class as Chelsea ,Arsenal and Man city so this is a game we should be thinking about taking our first big scalp!!

    We are a quarter way through the season so there shouldnt be too many suprises left for the players by now! lets go to Liverpool and announce our arrival to the masses!!

    Norway, I noticed (via my Sunday paper), that last week Dyer Allen & Britton were all marked as over 7.5 miles. I had a look at other team stats, and they were by far the most - however there were only 5 prem games on the Saturday. I must say that 7.5 miles last week, and they were subbed before the end how do they have time to play football eh? So I'll look tomorrow and check again, and put up the figures.

    Norway, as promised. Unfortunately with there being so many Saturday games, not much room in the paper for a full spread on Swansea. But here are the votes on the teams that did play:
    According to The Mail Sport on Sunday (using the EA Sports Player Performance Index, official guide of the Barclays Premier League - so the paper says anyway!!!)

    Team..........Fastest
    Liverpool.....Agger 26.83 mph
    Arsenal.......Arteta 26.79 mph
    Swansea.....Monk 26.75 mph
    Sunderland..Brown 26.73 mph
    Aston Villa...N'Zogbia 26.73 mph
    Chelsea......Sturridge 26.72 mph
    Everton......Fellaini 26.69 mph
    Bolton........Reo-Coker 26.66 mph
    Man City.....Barry 26.66 mph
    Wolves.......Berra 26.63 mph
    West Brom..McAuley 26.61 mph
    Man Utd.....Rooney 25.72 mph
    Blackburn...No Stats
    Fulham.......No Stats
    Norwich.....No Stats
    Wigan........No Stats

    Team........Fittest
    Wolves......O'Hara 7.9 miles
    Arsenal.....Ramsey 7.83 miles
    Man Utd....Rooney 7.82 miles
    Man City....Barry 7.75 miles
    Everton....Fellaini 7.72 miles
    Liverpool..Adam 7.54 miles
    Swansea...Allen 7.46 miles
    Chelsea.....Mata 7.28 miles
    Sunderland.Colback 7.2 miles
    West Brom.Brunt 6.72 miles
    Bolton.......Reo-Coker 6.57 miles
    Aston Villa..Warnock 6.48 miles
    Blackburn...No Stats
    Fulham......No Stats
    Norwich.....No Stats
    Wigan.......No Stats

    Best Player - Robin Van Persie - Arsenal
    Best Defender - Gael Givet - Blackburn
    Top Tackler - Andre Santos - Arsenal
    Best Passer - Leon Britton - Swansea
    Dirtiest Player - Alex Song - Arsenal
    Worst Passer - James Collins - Aston Villa

    Worst Player - Ricardo Gardner - Bolton

    Who'd have thought The Monk could move that quick?? Rooney runs a lot - but not very quickly!

    Looking at that, Rooney should be in Monk's pocket!!

    I was reading 'The Mail' this morning and found some of thier stats odd, how can Monk be faster than Dyer and Arteta faster than Walcott? Something wrong somewhere. :emoticon-0138-think
