Grealish in on goal but doesn't finish it.

[Gooner23]

I really wish Martinez was still at the club, so calm and catches everything cleanly. I know we needed the money but we definitely sold the better keeper.

[Letters]

I really wish Martinez was still at the club, so calm and catches everything cleanly. I know we needed the money but we definitely sold the better keeper.

Arguably true, but it’s a pretty small factor in our current league position.
Leno isn’t throwing them in every week, we’re just not scoring goals.

[Gooner23]

Arguably true, but it’s a pretty small factor in our current league position.
Leno isn’t throwing them in every week, we’re just not scoring goals.

[Mac76]

We really need Wolves to do a job for us, preferably win the game though i'd accept them dishing out a decent injury to k**t or sonofabitch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 0-1 Spuds, Ndombele.

[Mac76]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jim Rosenthal says the Palace v Leicester match is "pretty much as you wear" :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What I don't get is that if this game has to be postponed, surely Man City's game against Chelsea on Sunday will need to be also as the same players will be out?
