Well done, Swans for a terrific win and well done the Gunner's supporters for their fair comments. WONDERFUL day for us!!!!!!!!!! Now, let's hope we can take this form to Sunderland.
best game by far that even the neutrals will agree, the two best footballing sides in the premiership put on a masterful game of football that is played anywhere in the world.....10/10 for entertainment.....
Best game of football I've seen in a long time. And now only 14 points from safety. Even though I fancied the win before the game, that was an unbelievable result for the swans. Pressure on the man with the ball was so much better than normal today, and I think that made the big difference. Joey and Leon were fantastic today, as was Caulker who dealt with RVP for the majority of the game. Fabio Capello was in the stands and was spotted leaving as Nathan Dyer went off for Routledge. Conincidence? Considering the amount of ball Walcott wasted for Arsenal, I think it's obvious who should be in the England squad. All game, Walcott had been getting abuse from the Swans fans, and deservedly so, because he really is "a **** nathan dyer". He seemed alot more lively after half time, and when he scored (great finish by the way), he came back to the halfway line and put his finger to his lips to shush the Swans fans. To see his shoulders slump after we equalised almost immediately, having not moved from the spot he had been shushing the fans from, was the best moment for me so far this season. Hopefully we get plenty more days like this before the end of the season.
Your problem is going to be that hardly any sides attack like Arsenal. We stay open, leave defence in a mess, lose shape - and have no plan B. Other teams will not be so helpful. Anyway - GOOD LUCK.
QPR have to play most of the out of form teams in the next six games. They will pull away from the bottom soon.
we never actually out played arsenal at all, the possession was evens at 50% , we gave as good as we got and i would not have moaned if it had ended a draw, it was a great display of football that we came out on top that made the day even better.....
Dai sky were reporting 55% in our favour (not really sure how sky and bbc can differ so much) with us completing 100 more passes than Arsenal and also attempting more with a higher success rate... I assume this is what people are basing it on But yes, fantastic win!! Absolutely bouncing!
Sky stats are more accurate for sure. BBC stats have noticeably been off in the past. No way was it 50/50 possession today. I thought the most interesting stat was our 9 corners to their 2. That always gives you an indication of the balance of play.
"we never outplayed Arsenal at all" As always, you're entitled to your view, living as you do on that distant, remote planet. I rather prefer Jeremy Wilson's assessment in the Telegraph: "For make no mistake, Arsenal were not out-fought, outworked or outmuscled at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon. They were simply outplayed, out-thought and out-passed." Readers can make their choice as to who's view they prefer.
Dai you don't half come out with some drivel on times, I wonder whether you watched the game, but one thing is for sure, Swansea outplayed Arsenal today, period, FACT!................. please log in to view this image
first giant scalp whos next ?? great team performance they are still learning and evolving nicely i bet rogers not stopped grinning either ! hope we dont get any big offers for our players after that master class display !
I'm still dubious this is reality. We had 55% of the ball and completed 90 more passes than Arsenal. That shouldn't happen, surely?!
