    I'm really not sure I remember that, but it sounds like you might be bitter about something.

    Mr Spurfect: Good riddance to Swansea! Points were so cheap for them once upon a time that their then manager spoke of a preference for Leicester to win the league then played a team against them with no striker. Serves them and their arrogance right!

    Swansea had a really good 15-minute spell there but to make the miracle happen they were going to have to take every single chance that came their way and Wayne Routledge missed a really good one just three minutes after Andy King had given Swansea the lead. It was never really going to happen but Swansea have played pretty well so far this afternoon, they've been positive, they've looked a threat and you wonder where that's been in the last couple of months.

    Half-time. Swansea are getting booed off.

    If Andy King's goal had given Swansea some faint hope - or at least lightened the mood - things have well and truly soured again now.

    The home fans are voicing their anger towards the club's owners at every opportunity and, if there was any lingering hope of survival, that seems to have gone now.

    Peter Crouch's goal, by the way, was the 1,000th in the Premier League this season.

    Swansea 1-2 Stoke

    Swansea almost level. Jordan Ayew's free-kick from about 20 yards out beats Jack Butland, but curls past the post by nothing more than the width of the ball.

    Peter Crouch

    It's all a bit silly, really.

    At one point, Stoke looked like they could be on the wrong end of the sort of hiding that might keep Swansea up. Now they lead. Peter Crouch stoops to head in from a left-wing free-kick.

    When was the last time Stoke scored twice in the same match?

    Swansea 1-1 Stoke

    Badou Ndiaye required treatment that resulted in a stoppage. During that time, a couple of Swansea fans paraded a banner saying that the club had been "sold out". Plenty of bad feeling at the Liberty today.

    Much, much quieter inside the Liberty now. It's like all of the optimism has been sucked out of Swansea. I mean, you would have had to have been pretty optimistic to think they could have got out of this one, but after the way they started....

    Badou Ndiaye

    Out of nothing.

    Stoke are level without deserving it. From a Jordan Ayew shot at the other end, Badou Ndiaye is fed by a delightful through ball from Xherdan Shaqiri. Onside, he has time to cheekily dink a chip over Lukasz Fabianski.

    Call off that Swansea staying-up party.

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    This is another period when Stoke are under the pump and Swansea are knocking it around like, well, not Barcelona, but another decent side. There are a few Stoke players phoning this one in.

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Lasse Sorensen, the 18-year-old Dane, has looked decent on his first start for Stoke. He's not hard to pick out. His blond hair is like a lightbulb. He slides a pass through the Swansea defence, but Mame Biram Diouf is offside.

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Mercifully for Stoke, they manage to get the ball into the Swansea half. A cross from deep finds the head for Peter Crouch, but he can only nod weakly past the post.

    The way they are playing at the minute, Swansea could get more than nine. Anywhere will do for Stoke, whose fans have stopped seeing the funny side.

    I tell you what, Stoke's defence might be wanting Swansea to stay up too. AWOL. Wayne Routledge through down the left, cuts back, but his shot is wide of the far post.

    "We want 10," chant the Stoke fans, who clearly want former manager Mark Hughes to get relegated with Southampton.

    "We only want eight more," sing the Swansea fans. Not even that many if Man City pull their finger out.

    Andy King

    That's one!

    Swansea's quest for an avalanche of goals begins through Andy King, who puts them ahead with the assistance of a Stoke defence that no longer seems to be there. After the scramble, Andre Ayew sets King into the book, with the Wales international finishing past an unprotected Jack Butland.
