Win away at Swansea I am happy with that. They have been a tough side for us lately.

So glad Liverpool lost, I was really gunning for Swansea to beat Arsenal, Arsenal were pretty decent after about 30 minutes, Michu just barely had a chance, really wanted them to drop points, ah well!

Swansea didn't have a shot on target.

Arsenal have conceded the least amount of second half goals of anyone in the league this season, just 12.

They actually looked really strong today, I thought Diaby and Cazorla had a fantastic game, shame he's like glass and gets injured extremely easily.

Just hoping now Chelsea win tomorrow.

Yeah I suspect to counter that they let them in during the first half :)

Swansea Arsenal two team capable of entertaining football and it looks like we are getting a 30 second match of the day special. I want sky back so I can red button the extended highlights rather than this shit.

That does look very nasty but the image and angle make it hard to say for sure and ball contacts etc.

What part of not touching the ball but stamping on someone's knee is hard to say for sure exactly? :p

was a straight red, but he didnt even blow for a freekick. lol

edit:
btw that angle is probably the angle that makes it look best, there are much worse angles for watching that challenge

He deserves a fucking long ban for that its a disgusting tackle. He has no business going in that high for any reason.

Sorry but such gif images have proven some what questionable before so I'll wait until I see it before being stupid enough to do a complete judgement like many others often do, although from what I've heard it was a bad one and thus probably at the very least a yellow.

Shit video but shows the tackle. There is no rushing to judgement on this he hits him studs showing on the knee.

I made it quite clear I wasn't going to rush to totally judge it off a one angled gif and now I've seen a vid I can say that it is indeed a horrible tackle which as the ref didn't see it will probably have further action.

God I hope Wigan go down this season now and McManaman contracts AIDS, that tackle was fucking disgusting. Not even a yellow for it AND both the linesman and ref missed the blatant handball in the build up to the second goal, ridiculous. No apology from the guy and the Wigan support give him a standing ovation when he's subbed. I hope he's out for as long as Haidara is.

Here's another angle anyway.

If you watch it the ref is clearly unsighted for the tackle all he see's the the ball going in the direction you would expect from any tackle coming in. But the linesman for the winning goal was fucking trash. It was on his side of the pitch and should of been exactly where he was looking.
