Is there any need to play down Swansea's League Cup success? Regardless of who they faced, Swansea can only beat what is in front of them and they did just that. Hardly their fault Bradford got to the final and not someone else like say Arsenal. A trophy is a trophy at the end of the day and mind you, they beat us over two legs and Liverpool at Anfield in the process. Also to say we were free fall under Benitez seems somewhat off. If anything, we were inconsistent under him overall but heading into that tie, we were in decent form winning 8 of the 10 matches before that.

I'm not playing it down, I'm saying it shouldn't be used to keep Laudrup in the job this season. I don't know where people get this myth that he's a world beater of a coach for winning a Carling Cup.

Landrup was going to leave Swansea anyways this summer....

So, it was a matter of time...

When you have a limit in terms of funds and your best player gets injured, it is difficult to maintain your good league form...

On a side note, I guess cruff was right about landrup work ethic after all the reports coming out from Wales about practices...

I expect Landrup to get a job in the summer. Maybe even United....

‘I am deeply disappointed to have been dismissed as manager of Swansea City. In particular, the manner in which it happened and the actions the club has taken since notifying me in the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. I am, of course taking legal advice and the LMA have already written to the club asking for a proper explanation as to why I was summarily dismissed. Until we receive the response I am unable to say any more about the termination but I do want to take this early opportunity to thank the Swansea City fans for their continued support and say it has been an honour to manage this great football club.

‘I have thoroughly enjoyed my time managing in the Barclays Premier League which I consider to be the one of the best leagues in world football. I leave the club proud of our collective achievements over the past 20 months and I believe we have continued the club’s progression in the manner of my predecessors including Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers.

‘Of course the obvious highlight during my time in charge was leading Swansea to the first major trophy in the club’s history in winning the Capital One Cup at Wembley resulting in European qualification. In addition, our 9th place in the Barclays Premier League was our highest finish in 31 years and the second highest in the club's 102-year history which again is something which fills me with pride. This season we have all enjoyed the memorable journey in the Europa League where the team will soon to face Napoli in the last 32 of the competition. The club has informed me that I cannot visit the training ground to say my farewells to the players so I do that now through this statement. The players have been fantastic and their contribution under the very professional guidance of my coaching staff has been absolutely fundamental to the club’s recent successes. Three members of my staff have also been dismissed.

‘Whilst league results have been disappointing of late, we are still 12th in the table and it is there for all to see the fine margins in the league this season in terms of points that separate 11 clubs. Although we have been unfortunate with injuries, I believe our league form would have improved and that we would have benefited from the forthcoming Europa League and FA Cup matches.

‘I wish the club the very best for the future and for the rest of the season in the Barclays Premier League, Europa League and The FA Cup.’

-Michael Landrup

Why do people expect arsenal to lose to liverpool??

They haven't lost there since 2007 and that was when crouch scored a hatrick during benitez time.

The worst result arsenal will get is a draw. I want them to lose but arsenal is liverpools bogey team.
