Wednesday 2 March 2016
Emirates Stadium
Kick-off 19:45

Just 3 days after visiting North London to play Spurs, the Swans find themselves back in the area to play Spurs' greatest rivals, Arsenal.

Both Spurs and Arsenal are challenging strongly for the title, and each will be targeting the full 3 points from the Swans.

Last season at The Emirates, Bafetimbi Gomis' 85th minute goal proved the winner - how the Swans would love a repeat to bolster their battle at the foot of the table.

Personally, I can't see a repeat and, with a heavy heart, expect the Swans to lose 1-3 <sorry>

In the past we've had a good time at the Emirates, but I see no joy this time 2-1 Loss again for the swans

These 2 north London games are bonus points as long as we do get a hammering I'll be content.

3-2 arsenal. Despite our poor season we have only lost by more than one goal away once. I think we will pull a goal or two back after going behind, then after ****ting our pants again, Arsenal to win it near the end

Another we're expected to lose and after yesterday I think we will. Comfortably. Arsenal only need to score one more goal than us and score they will. What more is there to say? Arsenal know exactly who, where and how we're going to play!
 
Regardless of the result possibilities for this game , major changes must be made toward aggressiveness.
Time to cut the lifeline to the back 4 and let them sink or swim .
My drastic changes for the Gunner game .
Fab
Rangel , Fernandez , Williams , Naughton
Barrow , Fer , Siggy , Routledge
.......Ayew .................Paloschi .
Our best defence will be a good offence .
Our best way to deal with set pieces are preventative measures
Our best way to stay out of our end is to stay in theirs .
Our best way forward when in trouble , is the odd hoofball ....better that than give it straight back a few yards forward in panic .
See how it works and fine tune for the more important games as we " March " forward .

We`re getting desperate for a feel good game and this one would work a treat if only the lads could get their act together for the full 90+ it would be happy days again for a short while. Swans win 2-0 why not be optimistic the alternative is doom n gloom and there could be plenty of that about at seasons end if things dont go our way, a fluke or a pen etc here n there can change the most one sided game so dare to believe that how ever unlikely it s a funny old game and could happen.
 
After watching the Man U v Arsenal live and us v Spurs on Football First, Spurs look a much better team than Arsenal so still hoping.




^^^ This is on the money, and why I think we will get a result, going for a 2-1 win to the mighty Swans...........<ok>



Did I mention scoring 2 goals?............<laugh>
