Amazing to think we've never beaten Swansea.

Didn't get to see the game as I'm abroad but sounds like once again Swansea's wingers were giving us a hard time. I've also read that Xhaka's red was a little harsh? Perhaps looks worse on first glance than on replay?

Either way, glad for the 3 points against a bogey team.

I think Xhaka's red was fair. It was the sort of tackle you'd only bother making in the last couple of minutes to save a result.

The only thing that was in his favour is that the foul was made in his own half.

Nonsense Mr CC, what for? Not a red for a professional foul and not violent conduct neither. Daft decision.

Easy mistake to make, yellow food colouring looks red in the bottle.

This might be a little harsh, but I think we should try Gibbs starting at left back. With Mustafi in for Mertesacker, we've pushed our defence up and I think Monreal doesn't look quite as comfortable compared to last season.

I think that's a good shout for opponents like Barrow, ie nimble wingers.

I know Americans are really in to Halloween, but Bob Bradley has dressed up as Terence Fletcher about 2 weeks too early.

I take it back. Apparently a professional foul with no chance of getting the ball is now a red card.

I HOPE IT IS APPLIED CONSISTENTLY.

Maybe now you'll put in the effort to keep up to date with the rules before running your mouth and trying to take me on, eh chump?

Absolutely no chance of that happening.

I would say it far more likely that Xhaka's red is the last one we see all season for that type of foul, than there is it being a consistent red.

The Middlesbrough v Watford game all ready hinting at that fact.
