    I hate to be so negative, but Swansea just had the ball in the final third and in two passes had returned it to whence it had came - their own centre-back. Let's just go toe to toe, lads. It's the end of the season, all targets have been met.

    Just to illustrate that point, take a look at these heat maps, which show how little Swansea (on the right) have had the ball in the Arsenal half compared to the Gunners (on the left), who have had plenty of possession in enemy territory.

    "Hey, Bobby, what's French for 'uneventful'?"

    It's not quite what Thierry Henry said to his former Arsenal team-mate Robert Pires in that iconic car advert of yesteryear, but it could be what Henry is uttering to his friend at the moment.

    The two Frenchmen are at the Emirates tonight, and one suspects the Arsenal greats will be less than impressed by this goalless first half.

    Olivier Giroud has just popped up in his own half and carried the ball forward. He can't be accused of taking it easy. Swansea are well organised though and a shot from Santi Cazorla inside the box is blocked by Ashley Williams.

    It's half time at the County Ground and Swindon - who were four goals ahead on aggregate after 17 minutes - might be a little anxious as they have their half-time cuppa.

    Sheffield United have scored twice to reduce the deficit to 3-2 on the night - and 5-3 on aggregate. Plenty more goals in that one you suspect.

    You can follow all of the second-half action with Caroline Chapman here.

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    A yellow card for Jonjo Shelvey for a foul on Alexis Sanchez - that's nine for the season if you're keeping a tally.

    Who would the Dyer XI play? Forget Smith, Jones etc. There have been a lot of Wallaces, Beckfords and Sturiddges down the years. Not too many Vennegoor of Hesselinks though.

    Tony Armstrong from Chelmsford: Paul Dyer ex Colchester United full-back from 70's era. Who became their chief scout after retiring from football.

    Arsenal are yet to have a shot on target. Only two teams have stopped them having one in the first half of a Premier League home game this season (Chelsea & Everton). Another feather in the cap of Garry Monk? Sorry to bombard you with stats by the way... it's that or talk about the weather.

    "Lads, I'm wide open. Er, lads....?"

    Jefferson Montero - he of the go-faster hair stripes - is a lonely man this afternoon out on Swansea's left wing.

    "This is difficult to commentate on, because the game is set. From minute one, we've had no change."

    I'll be honest. This has a testimonial feel to it. Feel free to go and make a brew... we'll be here when you get back.

    Olivier Giroud looks to have run off his back problem, which is just as well for Arsenal - he's run further and faster than any other Arsenal player so far in this match. He's covered 2.91km at an average speed of 6.99km/h in case you were wondering.

    Vishnu Ladwa: Another 'Dyer' is Alex Dyer who plays for Ostersunds FK. He also played for Northampton Town.

    George Jenkins: With regard to the Dyers, presumably Danny has to be involved?

    Andy Fletcher: Name a team full of Dyers? Easy, Newcastle Utd.

    The free-kick is floated in and Alexis Sanchez hits the turf under the challenge of Neil Taylor. Penalty? The ref's having none of it.

    Federico Fernandez goes through the back of Olivier Giroud, and the French striker goes down clutching the base of his back. Looks a sore one that. Free-kick's in a decent position though.

    "Lads, we're bunching!"

    Who hasn't heard that cry on the parks on a Sunday?

    And that is exactly what Arsenal are doing this evening - not too much width from the Gunners so far, as this average position graphic shows:

    Jefferson Montero has two tramlines on the left side of his head, the side of the pitch on which he is playing. Are they go faster stripes? As you can probably guess from my lame jokes... there's not much happening out there.

    Aran in London - regarding Rory (19:39) it's not necessarily about numbers, just look at Atletico last year. Madrid and Barca had substantially larger squads and arguably better players but Atletico still won it.

    I momentarily forgot Dyer's first name a moment ago. Was it Lloyd, Bruce, Kieron, Danny... nope it's Nathan. Can we get a team of Dyers together? That's your task for the night. Go.
