Arsenal boss Wenger full of praise for audacious Swansea

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was full of praise for Swansea City after Saturday's win.

Wenger was full of approval for Swansea, even if that was an indirect way to make excuses for his own side's inconsequentiality. He spoke of the danger they carry on the flanks but then drew a painful analogy.

"They remind me of Blackpool last year," Wenger said. "They play in an audacious way, not restricted at all, with a good technical level. But their next home game [against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday] will certainly be very important."

Blackpool, of course, were relegated.
