    Nice easy win then...

    Seriously though - such bad luck for you Swans. 3-3 instead of the (wrongly?) disallowed goal and I would have fancied you to win it.

    Nothing wrong with Sheckters goal. Thought Michu's challenge was fair

    What a game! Great advert for football, from 2 honest teams who play football and carry out their business in the right way. 9 points above the relegation zone looks very nice. I'm sure some people said 20 points at christmas would be nice, well we're past that landmark, 3 games before the halfway point in the season.

    Very unlucky Swansea, as said, really that one decision going against you decided the game.

    Teach us to start playing for two halves. If we'd played as we did in the second half, we'd have won this. There was only one team in it for the second 45 and, for a while, I actually thought we might even go on and win it.

    Fair play, Norwich were great first half but overall I thought a draw might have been a fairer result. Not a good game for Tremmel and I expect to see Vorm back if he's fit. Well done, Norwich.

    PS: A terrible decision to disallow Schechter's goal. Is that keeper made of candy floss? Grant Holt has made a career out of challenges like that and I thought it was a fair enough goal.

    im a nervous wreck after that! well done swansea for more than playing your part in a great game. Very happy that both our clubs are moving quickly towards safety. Seriously im exhausted though. Thai when you started you victory songs i assumed it had finished and my stream was behind. Nearly **** myself when they scored again!

    Well what a game! Really pleased two well run clubs put on a great show illustrating how football should be. Best of luck to Swansea for the rest of the season and hopefully there will be plenty more of the same for seasons to come

    Agree Ivor, Tremmel should have easily save the second goal. I expect Vorm to get a run out on Wednesday and then play next Saturday as well. Once we got it back to 2-3 thought we might get something, bad decision by Webb we would be all square, and I think we could have pushed on and won the game.

    So disappointing by the way we conceded some of the goals, when are we going to deal with balls in the box.

    Well done Norwich, good game. Still can't believe we didn't get a point though. Tremmel didn't have a great game and Ki was sloppy at times (again). If we had to lose then at least it's against Norwich.

    Outrageous game. Draw would have been a fair result overall. We don't do things by halves when we play Swansea do we?!

    All the best for the rest of the season and thanks for being such good hosts on here!

    Norwich boys should enjoy the win, much better team today .. a shocking first half from us but you still have to score the goals and you did that.

    I get the feeling a few of our lot are beleiving their own hype and get this attitude that they dont need to battle as hard against teams of a similar standing, its becoming a problem for us now and i dont understand why as we played teams like Southampton,reading and Norwich week in week out in the ccc ! all good set piece teams who we managed to contain effectively.

    Anyway its hard not to take anything away from Norwich, your team has proved to be the best today and you deserved the 3pts <ok>

    Before the match I thought, at least we're being hosted by the fairest, most honest set of fans in the Prem!

    Well, after a nerve-wracking afternoon, blotted by a poor refereeing decision, NOTHING has happened to change my mind!
    Thank you Swans for your gracious acceptance of today's result, and very good luck for the rest of the season!

    <cheers>

    rep for that canary-dave. Our teams have very similar trajectories and both sets of fans are amongst the best around. Must be something to do with being the extreme East & West teams... or just down to both being well run clubs.
    Have a good season Norwich, we will see you here again next season as I believe we will both be safe (if there's any justice at least).

    Yeah, have to say lads, I don't think any set of fans in the PL (and to be honest I include us in that) would have been as gracious in defeat. Excellent hosts.
