If Newcastle win tomorrow its surely us vs. Liverpool for the second Europa spot. Plus if it is still in the balance on the last day I'm sure Everton will suddenly forget how to defend.

The FA have released a statement that anyone who passes the ball to Andy Carroll is to be booked for time wasting.

Good luck to the Swans today - only one home loss this season and considering Arsenal's poor defensive away record, we could be seeing a very welcome Welsh win over North London's "finest"

Yes it should be a interesting match and l for one will be hoping that Arsenal stumble as it would help our european qualification cause a bit.

I was a referee, and was always told trainers that IF a penalty was saved, then the penalty taker wasn't allowed to score from the rebound, but another player could.

I noticed from a recent game that Rooney took the penalty, it was saved and Rooney scored from the penalty and it was allowed, surely this is unfair.

Maybe there might be someone out there who can tell me different.

I believe if it rebounds off the keeper, the penalty taker can score from that (if that was the case here).

That is confirmed by this referee's site

he must not play the ball a second time until it has touched another player

If the penalty taker touches the ball a second time before it has touched another player, an indirect free kick is awarded to the defending team.

I know that Sky's 'Match Choice' has been working for a while now on VM via the red button but today I can get full Sky interactive football via the 'Match Choice' red button, how long has that been live?

The last time Arsenal won in Wales they won the FA Cup, all the way back in 2005

Obviously Robert has different ideas.

Silly penalty to give away.

Actually just seen the replay of the penalty. It wasn't one. Looked like it in real time but the Swansea player played the ref there...These decisions against us are starting to build up now.
