Roland is no name for a footballer.
Although at first look you wouldn't say it, he's a Belgian! Bound to succeed, especially in the PL. Was glad to see a Belgian go to Swansea, really.
IS IT CONFIRMED?
DAMN IT ARSENAL PROBABLY WONT BEAT THEM IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

*CRYFACE*
You wouldn't have beat them anyway lol.

Didn't expect him to go to Bayern, was hoping for a team I have more sympathies for..... But still, better than City.

ALSO, m'villa isn't confirmed for QPR yet, but looks very likely,
I also freaked out when I read Guardiola to Bayern, but then I read that he will start his job at the end of this season, meaning we'll face them without pep. Not that we have that much of a chance with our aproach to the transfer market. My only hope is that Bayern don't sign a CB in this window, they have serious problems there since one of their CBs is out for the season and if IIRC Boateng is suspended for both the home and away matches.

I just hope Arsene goes for a DM, M'vila, Diame, Capoue, Sissoko there are many options. Just bring someone who won't break when opening a soda can like Diaby.

SWANS: Vorm, Richards, Chico, Bartley, Tiendalli, Britton, Agustien, de Guzman, Routledge, Dyer, Graham.

Arsenal should win.

Swansea starting XI v Arsenal: Vorm, Tiendalli, Chico, Bartley, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Ki, Routledge, Dyer, Graham.

Yeah, I think Arsenal might win this.

And then michu will enter the game as a sub and proceed to beat the crap out of us...... again.

Yeah Pep is joining the team after this season is over when the current Bayern managers deal expires.
Bayern has really good depth at the CB position Dante is a beast.

I'm not going to lose much sleep over that. The line up pretty much confirmed Saturday and next week is the priority.

Plus it means the team don't have to play three games a week for the the first time for about five weeks. Seriously the fixture congestion we've had since the Christmas period has really taken its toll on the squad.

What makes me laugh is that Swansea have a better chance of winning a trophy than Arsenal do.

Now take into account teen years ago, Arsenal were top of the Premier League and Swansea were bottom of the football league.

Christ, we were shit than.
Ahh things have changed big,
Like for instance, 4 years ago Aston Villa were fighting Arsenal for top 5 spots.
Now they're headed for relegation.

Who we're Man City 5 years ago? Just another club
Football is so spontaneous.

With Villa, Randy Lerner realised O'Neil's spending was seriously fucking over the club's finances with high transfer fees and wages on average players. The reason why Villa are in the shit is because O'Neil's signings have a tendency to be shitty with austerity forced upon McLeish and Lambert.

Whilst with City, they had Sinwatwhatever buying the club with Eriksson being manager. They were signing reasonably good players like Elano. It wasn't totally random. City had a fantastic new stadium and a good base of support. They were an attractive prospect.
