We will win this game at a canter - we will either come flying out of the traps and bag 2 early goals on the way to a 3-1 win, or we will start nervously but end up winning 2-0 and never be in any real danger
People that think that we will fu.ck up this game because of sunday need to get their blinkers off - easy games after bad results are typical of wenkers reign, and you don't get much easier than a home game against the relegation threatened swans If our next game had of been against the scum, then a defeat there would have been the fixture that started the mother of all collapses and the battle to remain in the top 4 would have been well and truly on

TBH Giroud is so badly out of form I'd be amazed if he scores against the Swans. My money is on Ozil bagging a winner in a 1-0 win.
I can see us winning this either pretty comfortably or a laboured narrow win but a win none the less and then Wenger will come out telling us that all is rosy once more but then we will be brought back to earth at the weekend at the Lane.
Swansea will score first and we will chase the game - with Ozil and the Lampost scoring to scrape a win and show how our 'mentil stwenff saw us froo" in readiness for NLD and Barcarape
It will be a rather scrappy one goal victory.
Then expect more dressing room selfies from Ramsey, a win over Swansea could be the highlight of his season.

Not sure the players will have much more enthusiasm, they should because the title is still on, but they wont.
Flat atmosphere, could get nasty - Eboue / Ox Sub style if it goes up the wall.
You're not the only one mate that can't be arsed, it's been a while since I've seen so may tickets on the Exchange, even Block 6 tickets @£26 are available.
Part of me hopes he has sat down with the players, and read them the riot act, told them that the media and ex-players are laughing at them and questioning their character and to get out there and prove them the FUCK wrong and go and blitz Swansea and then those scummy c.unts from up the road.
Instead he's already been saying that the media reaction is over the top and will adopt the defensive mindset that everyone else is wrong, and he's right and to carry on regardless playing the same way, with the same lack of leadership week in week out
Spooky wrote:^ I fully hope he bollocked them after Sunday!
It is rare nowadays in such tense times - to publicly shame the players though.
At least hid did acknowledge there were "negatives".
Onwards and Upwards tomoz - a bollocking is good...although needs to be balanced as a motivator rather than creating dejection.
We are still in it!

He didn't think twice of blaming them for last weeks loss v barca
Because he takes Europe seriously, he misguidedly sees himself as a big player on that stage. He never loses it with his players after FA Cup or league losses, after all there are European matters to consider for this football giant.Probably already thinking of ways to come back from the Nou Camp with his reputation intact. To us of course, that reputation already collapsed 6 years ago.
two losses on the spin...going into a must win games after 48hrs - in the PL again...
Like I said, a bollocking is fine as a motivator but not as a dejector...
The man doesn't do motivation. He doesn't do bollockings. His players don't fear him and nor do they fear for their futures. I can always remember a defeat we suffered at craven cottage a few seasons back - the game was on sky that sat evening and I remember watching it and wondering how can any professional player play with such a lack of interest and pride ? The stupid c.unt actually said in the post match interviews that the players were not up for it that evening.........whose job is it to ensure that they are up for it you senile old b*stard ??
If our next game had of been against the scum, then a defeat there would have been the fixture that started the mother of all collapses and the battle to remain in the top 4 would have been well and truly on
