Swansea v Arsenal Sunday January 15th 2012 16:00 SS1

Much more likely we're about to find out how much we need Arteta in the middle. YFB hasn't played well for years now.

[Niall_Quinn]

3 points required today, can't afford any fuck ups.

[Niall_Quinn]

Here we go! Barcelona vs Arsenal from the Liberty Stadium in Taffland.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least Squillaci isn't playing. Although we're yet to get our customary injury in the first half I suppose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF Sky?

[Niall_Quinn]

At least Squillaci isn't playing. Although we're yet to get our customary injury in the first half I suppose.

True, but the defence really is down to the bare bones. Midfield is weak, RvP will need to be on fire. Where the hell is Rosicky, is he injured again?

[Niall_Quinn]

Okay, he's on the bench. YFB chosen ahead of him. That's harsh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Who is Michael Oliver? Specially drafted in to fuck us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No idea, prepared to give him a chance though. Hopefully he has avoided Phil Dowd in the canteen.

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll be getting an insight into Swansalona's footballing philosophy after the break. Can't wait.
