Got the making of a good game randall, 2 teams who should certainly be in the mix this season. In fact your lot are my tips to win the Championship

Early days, i mean look at us, today the league winning campaign begins.

Post by **Randall** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 11:15 am

people who were there said we played pretty well in the week, just sloppy mistake by the defender to let him in for the winner.

city were trying to sign him before the game and he goes and does that.

Massive game for Liverpool & arsenal already. Draw already no good for either.

Hopefully both will really go for and will be a decent game, many of these top games always seem a let down.
Chic to run the show.

I know it's early in the season but today will kinda tell me if Swansea are going to be major strugglers or maybe just have a sniff of surviving in the PL.

Wigan at home would definately be a game Swansea would have down for 3 points in their bid for survival, if they lose it then it'll be a huge blow.

Agree with both, this is the type of game Swansea should be looking at taking all 3 points

It's crucial in the sense it sets a marker for home fans atmosphere and morale as well, they need to avoid a loss at all costs and make the Liberty into a place other teams dont want to come to.

Home form last season was the main reason why we ended up third in the table and only that sort of defensive form will help us this season aithough obviously we will conceed a fair few more goals.

Nasri is starting today despite almost being a City player, shows how fucked Arsenal are just now and if they lose more pressure on Wenger.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:33 pm

Bizarre decision to play him.

Arsenes lost the plot.

Post by **Dartfrog** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:34 pm

I expect him to be sporting a pencil up each nostril before long.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:37 pm

I'm amazed he hasn't broken down a door going into a press conference declaring "heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's arsene!! "

Post by **Dartfrog** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 12:41 pm

It's building up, it's obvious.
I'm telling you now if there is a bad challenge on an Arsenal player and he's asked about it after the game he's going to do a Jim McLean V John Barnes reenactment.
