    The way our form has dropped in the last 5 matches I'd be well happy with a draw against Spurs.

    I would also be well happy if you got a draw against spurs.

    However, you should also be proud of how well your team has played over the season and the way that they have gone about it. I have a lot of respect for Swansea now.

    No complaints from me. Arsenal won fairly comfortably. They showed a greater desire to win the game, which is disappointing from a Swans point of view.

    Just got back from the game, good win...We didn't start well and it looked like it might be a bad day, but we tightened up as the game went on, and the second half was fairly comfortable, :-D we got an African Messi.

    Did you meet up with Cym for a beer?

    It's just started on football first.

    I didn't, :-D, but I didn't arrive early.

    I must say though, Liberty Stadium play some good music before the kick off, and during half time!

    When both goals happen, it's only a small still, I basically know exactly where and for what to look, :-D.

    When the goal first went in I thought it was Ramsey who scored!

    Still have no idea who should be our goalkeeper. Maybe we should rotate?

    Stick with Fabi, 2 games, 2 clean sheets, though didn't have any save to make today, but still had good presence, and good kicks, might not sound like a big deal, wow good kicks, but that's something Shezza consistently does bad.

    I also thought it was Ramsey, even after the 1st replay.

    Stick with Fabi for now.

    Oh and A87, he pulled off a good save from Michu in the 1st half.

    Hmmm, I remember Michu's 2 excellent chances, but don't remember them getting a corner for it. There's no big screens at Swansea so you can't see any replay.

    That's actually a really good point mate, hadn't actually considered it.

    Towards the end of the 1st half, low down on near post. A save he should always make, but he had to make it.

    Oh yes, I remember that one, as you said, that's a save he should make.

    Another negative with Shezza lately, how many times have we been just passing it back to him, you know our pass around our own box we do sometimes, and he just gives a very bad and awkward pass.

    Fabianski doesn't do that, when he was given the ball, he stays calm, gives it back proper, or kicks it away if under pressure, and he was always composed when doing so. I was close to the goal, behind Fabi, so you can appreciate it more when you're seeing it up live and close, not to mention it was also pouring down and the pitch was wet.

    My thinking is that if Flappy keeps playing well, what do we do next season? Do we sign someone, or stick with our current trio?
