Reckon Swansea are up there with anyone we have played at home based on that today.

How they in trouble is a mystery to me.

They've been pretty unlucky with injuries..and, as a cautionary tale, they were in the Europa League, which is never helpful to one's league aspirations.
 
3 points. This turns out to be a great weekend for me but I think we were lucky to get 3 points today. We took our chances though, normally we don't.

After Ross scored the third goal, in fact for the entire match, we gave them far too much space in midfield and time to pass the ball.

The problem was the central midfield where they had far more number of players around the area. Instead of slow things down after the third goal, we just tried too hard to pass the ball. On another day, we could have lost another two or three goals given the chances they had.

All in all, I deem that Martinez sometimes need to learn to do the right thing at the right time. Perhaps the team needs to keep the ball better and more procession after the third goal. Why hurry and let the opposition to have the ball and put ourselves in danger?

4th is still on even though Arsenal have avery easy run in with 5 home games out of their last 8 but we can still do it, especially if we beat them in two weeks. WE win our two games (should beat Fulham and hopefully Newcastle will still be without Remy(, they lose to City, we beat them and we're two points behind with a game in hand!

If we beat Sunderland the week after we'll go into 4th as it's the Cup semi-finals... Champions League, we're having a laugh.

Obviously we'll need to play a lot better!

.....lots of 'ifs' there. All we can do is keep winning. Its an unlikely scenario that we finish top4, but this manager has put us in a position where it is possible. I think that's some achievement in his first season.

Just got to give it all we have til the end of the season and see where it takes us. Arsenal dropping points and the fact we get Arsenal, Man U, and City at home gives us an outside shot at 4 which isn't too shabby.
 
Swansea were good today. We weren't that great. 3-2 a fair result, wouldn't have said them nicking a draw was unfair though.
 

just got to keep winning and see where we end up. hopefully arsenal capitulate, theyll probably do enough but.... if that lot over there reckon they can win the league, we can defo snatch 4th
 
That's 2 games in a row were we haven't played well but won both games, if we can get in form for the last few games 4th is possible as Arsenal eyes might start to turn to the FA cup, they play City next weekend, which is a huge game, must beat Newcastle on Tuesday thought to add a lot of pressure on them
 
Its time to stop being sloppy and not make every win like a hard fought one. Not at home at least. If we defend like we have been recently against minnows against Newcastle away they'll hit us hard. Its time to be solid at the back and in midfield as well. I feel as if Barry needs a breather.
 
Good game. Swansea played well and we struggled at times. McGeady's nearly fit and looked boss at times.

The Swansea fan in the biege jacket who wanted to take on all the Park End but got chucked out was the real highlight though.

No realistic chance of CL but Europa is ours unless we throw it away. Who'd have thought that after our first three games ?
