But they have done nothing impressive to suggest they can win at Arsenal. Besides, they could be safe if results go their way this weekend.

Can't see it. Even if they lose to United this weekend, they'll still need to drop points at home to Sunderland or West Brom. Doubt that will happen.

Hopefully, Swansea will get more credit for their achievement this season now. They are in 8th but sit just 2 points and 1 point behind Spurs (6th) and Southampton (7th) aka everyone's favorite second team.

Never said his teams are easy to play against but compare our record with others, it's positive - 3 wins from 6 matches and only 1 defeat and that was because of an OG.

Yet despite all the fears of facing a Tony Pulis side away from home, we are actually one of the very very few big sides to have a great record against his teams

Manchester City offer Yaya Touré as part of deal for Juventus’s Paul Pogba

But if he's already aware of that after the first 2-3 games, then why continue to wear it (especially when he doesn't look to be concerned about taking another whack to the face)?

Doubt Mourinho meant to dismiss West Brom in any way with his comments yesterday. There's no need to overanalyse or overthink things really. More curious to see how he will manage the younger players in the game and the way they deal with the pressure in a Premier League away game (assuming they get sufficient game time).

Any idea why Fabregas wears the mask in the first half of matches but then takes it off in the second period? Seems odd.

Right. He played one game in the FA Cup too. While you're right on the Zouma point too, there's no sign of Christensen starting/playing in the either of the final two games. If Mourinho is so insistent on not playing Azpilicueta at RB, he could at least give Christensen some game time in that position.

But has he impressed Mourinho though? Hasn't been anywhere near the first team since that Strawberry game.

Boateng is 28 years old while Sam is 27. Not exactly young... Anyway, these two links provide more info on what happened. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32690972 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/11/schalke-release-kevin-prince-boateng-sidney-sam-immediate-effect

:lol:

Wonder if Mourinho will get the sack should we lose there next Monday.

Fabregas acknowledges the magic hat song...

If we don't win at WBA, that would mean we haven't won there since 2010/11 season. Yikes!

Simeone: "Torres plays better when the opposition are tired"

He's been running on fumes in the past few weeks and it was probably his worst ever showing since joining us. That being said, considering he dragged us towards the title with the brilliant performances in the second half of the season when others were running out of steam, think we can close one eye and sweep this under the carpet.

Or Schurrle for that matter...

Costa was sitting with the fans today...

This. Hopefully Mourinho gives him a little bit more freedom though in the upcoming games. Felt his play was somewhat restricted.

Will take it with a pinch of salt for now. Won't be surprised if he plays them only in the last 5 minutes of the game...
