    The gunners have stepped it up and are only a goal behind, its 2-1 to Chelsea and its exactly the game we need them to have! the gunners are making them work for evrything and chelsea are having to work extra hard to contain them..think i want to see a 2- 3 to Arsenal with Chelsea trying hard to get the equaliser!!

    Just the kind of game the Swans needed to to make Chelsea be a fraction more tired than us :)

    I hope your right on that one!! i was just going to type that he has come onto the field so maybe he was going to start against us on wednesday..but if what you say is true that could be brilliant news, though Torres aint no chump despite what people say !

    Arsenal given them a tough game. We will need to be at our best on Wednesday. If we are, no reason we cannot get to the final.

    With the danger of opening a can of worms what do you lot think is the best approach for this game?

    Can we hold them off of 2 goals or should we go for an aggressive early goal an put them under even more pressure. 2-0 is the most dangerous lead, or so you say.

    Arsenal showed in the second half that Chelsea don't like being pressed. Let them play and we won't be going to the Final.

    They are no stoke thats for sure and they will go for the jugular with the superior players they have right from the start. If they get an early goal then it will be game on and i dont think we are good enough at keeping our shape and discipline..We go into the game as favorites and the pressure is all on us to keep our two goal advantage but an early goal will put them as favorites and we saw how arsenal run us ragged and had 20+ chances but failed to score...chelsea will score....I have no doubt about that if we let them...keep it tight, keep the ball for as long as we can and we may get a break away goal that will kill them off....try to take them on and we will lose its as plain and as simple as that...chelsea have nothing to lose....the pressure is on us for the first time in a long time so lets hope the manager and players get it right and able to soak up the pressure....

    Quite Right. We haven't done that for ages. I think the last time was .........Stamford Bridge, 11 days ago.

    Laudrup will let Chelsea play their high intensity game, as they can do nothing else but now, and we will be drilled to hit them hard and fast on the counter break! Going to be a corker, with the Mighty Swans holding sway! You heard it here first..................<laugh>

    State the bloody obvious why don't you! Although I don't think Vorm will gift them with an open goal attempt <doh>
    Also don't be disrespectful to Stoke, yes we handled them pretty well yesterday but I seem to recall them thumping your side a few games back <cheers>

    I agree Jager it would be unfair, but for some reason I think he will play him Wednesday night.
