On BBC:

BBC Final Score pundit Matt Holland: "Paul Lambert has brought players in with hunger who are going to battle and believe. It's going to have to work for him, because Aston Villa have got no money."

What bollocks

I wouldn't even bother listening to those Southern twats. They know nothing of football outside of zone 2 of London and would rather circlejerk over Spurs and Arsenal than recognize what's going on in across the rest of the country.

On the match though, we've looked good. The only way to beat Swansea is to press them and negate their chances, which we have done very successfully so far. They're also excellent at marking and pressing so its understandable that we're playing some sloppy passes and not keeping possession like we did against West Ham for example. Good stuff overall, more of the same second half.

I’m not sure where you can magic improvements from, but if we could improve by about 5% across the park then I think we’d be an awesome team to watch.  It’s not beyond Lambert to get that out of the squad over time.

Swansea have become one of the better teams in the PL outside of the top 6 clubs. They are a confident team because they play as a unit and in a system they understand. That isn't the same for the majority of teams in this division and if we keep working at it then we'll be better that most. The leap to the next level will take time, commitment and investment.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We need to keep at them and start creating a few more chances ourselves. Enjoy the rest of the match, chaps. I have to go to the bloody beach. Look forward to reading your celebratory comments.

KEA...hmm, not his best game.
