Pegged at the Death

The Gooner in kT was away from his home when the this FA Cup third round match was played. It was an intriguing match with The Swans already registered a win over us late last year.

I was hoping that we could get a good result at The Liberty Stadium (a place in the next round would suffice, thank you) but the worst part was not being able to follow it minute by minute.

The reason for being away was due to a photo session with the Negeri Sembilan Super League team and by the time I reached Shah Alam it was well and truly over.

Luckily it was just about the match and not our FA Cup dream.

Michu gave the home side the lead after coming on as a substitute around the hour mark and I could imagine myself saying, "Here we go again!" in anticipation of an early cup exit.

However Lukas Poldoski brought things level with ten minutes to go and then Kieran Gibbs blasted us ahead a couple of minutes later. We were three minutes away from the fourth round when Danny Graham ensured another trip to The Emirates for the Swans faithfuls in the middle of the month.

Of course I would have preferred it to be settled on a positive note for us but the chance to catch them in FA Cup action again certainly not a bad thing either.


COYG!
