I was out in Munich for 5 live in midweek and there were horror stories going round that Arsenal would be fielding a seriously weakened team for their Champions League game with Bayern Munich.
I don't know whether Gunners boss Arsene Wenger changed his mind or if everyone got the wrong end of the stick, but Wenger did not do that in the end. They are out of Europe but at least the team he chose had a go and came away with a good result.
Defensively the Gunners looked better, but I cannot work out exactly which gear Bayern were playing in. If you said they had six, then I don't think made it to fifth at any stage.
Now Wenger is building up his side's trip to Wales as a massive game, and it is in context of the race for the top four. Now they are out of Europe, this might be the point where they kick on domestically to get back into the Champions League next year.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2

Little bit lacked sharpness, slow start, Muchu great quality find, our lack of quality in final third little bit and lack of quality defending little bit cost us, but showed spirit in second half but not enough to get over finish line. :blah:

Unless Good Diaby turns up for the second time this season, there's going to be no control in the midfield.

Slow, unimaginative, lazy, sloppy. A contractual performance, the poor slaves still haven't managed to find a way to get their money without having to turn up. For now they settle for getting paid without having to play. Ox the exception but he still has plenty of time.

Diaby hopeless, as fully expected. Walcott here to fill in the wait between contracts.

Walcock looks relieved to come off - hard day loafing around but the pay's good. Gibbs on with barely enough time left to get injured.

Gibbs is a better winger than Theo, better striker too.

Santi has a pop. Corner.

Nicely done - just. Gervinho 0-2

Diaby off, pace improved.

Walcott off, we get some effective play from the wing.

Simple stuff really.

0-2 FT

Terrible first half, better second half. Ox did well, Santi was hot and cold but he's one of our few talented players. Walcott and Giroud worthless but infinitely better than Diaby. Gervinho improved things when he came on. Swansea pretty crap really, no shots on target that I can recall.

Dominant Swansea didn't bring a save out of Fabianski.

They're better passers than Real Madrid though.

So we beat Bayern 2-0 in a pointless win but are being held by Swansea 0-0 in a game that means something?

Bunch of losers.
:lol:

If it's of interest Swansea have only lost 3 home league games this season, including today.
They've played ManYoo and Chelsea at home and drawn both.
Today was a very good win.

Sorry if Arsenal winning ruined your weekend.

You didn't read the post did you, it was 0-0 at the time.

This is the usual end of season recovery we see where we scrape 4th place and then the manager thinks everything is good, seen it many times before and it'll all end in a summer of little activity. Whilst part of me wants us to get top 4, the other part doesn't as the mad hatter at the helm will use it as a stick to beat us with and will end up changing f*ck all as usual.

Don't worry it won't ruin my weekend, I don't care that much these days that's the Wenger effect, defeats don't bother me like they use to because I expect them and wins really only paper over the very large cracks which never get fixed...and where's the pleasure in that in reality?

Yeah, at the time. The game hadn't finished.
And as I said, Swansea are a good team at home. We were never going to hammer them.
They drew with Chelsea and Utd at home this year, yesterday was only their 3rd league defeat there and with our record in there I would have been content with a point.

It doesn't paper over the cracks - the cracks are far too wide for that and I'm in two minds about the value of us finishing 4th. But if we do it'll be at the Spuds' expense and that's reason enough to want us to.

FFS cheer up, man!

Finishing above Spuds papers over nothing. This season has been a train wreck right from the start.

But it would be nice to have one fucking thing for us to have a chuckle over. For seventeen years Tottenham have ensured we had at least that.

Heres to another year. :cheers:

Yes, a chance to laugh at another spud collapse would be light relief from a grim season. Much preferred it when finishing above them was a given rather than part struggle and part luck.
