Crap really but Wenget is a master of getting three points in the pub games.
Yay
The ground was worse than what you get at the park. Surely there must be regulations that teams playing in the PL have a decent fucking ground!!
Other than that, we pubbed a win. We were atrocious barring a couple of moments. Well, who cares though.. we are 3rd above Utd, who are one of the worst PL sides in the top half. If we do not beat them in the remaining two fixtures this season, we might as well relegate ourselves to the Championship.
Good 3 points but terrible from the manager and most players.
Palace are possibly the worst team in possession and started without their two first-choice midfielders and they had more possession than us. That says everything about the performance.
Palace were charging around like rabid Scott Parkers all game and approached it in a way that would cause most teams problems, but they collectively and individually have no football brain. Just some care with the ball and better choices from the manager and there would have been no need to huff and puff over the line.
Ozil played well, held on to the ball and created chances in a tough away game for once and WUMger decided this was the day to take him off early. He is utterly mental. Welbeck made the difference today. Not a great afternoon for most of the others. Brainfarts and carelessness everywhere.
Well done to Clattenburg for being equally awlful for both teams.
Negative WUMger :doh:.
Pub-team Arsenal :bow:.
With that village alehouse scuffle out of the way, onwards to dishing out some beatings hopefully.
We go again.
Don't understand the moaning tbh. Crystal Palace away is one of the hardest fixtures in the league; they've already beaten the likes of Spurs and Pool there.
Loud fans, difficult pitch to play on combined with some really good pacy players. They made it really difficult for us and it was a real struggle. Tactics were a bit shit especially in the second half and we were lucky with the second goal (first one was clearly in the area!!) but we've played better this season and got nothing so I'll take it.
3rd place now ahead of Utd and barring a Southampton win tomorrow against Pool, we should remain there. Onwards and upwards I say. :D
That's why. Until we solve that problem no meaningful progress is possible.Quote:

I'd go for gay for Giroud there tbh. No homo. ##
Inb4 Jamie Carragher rant about dressing room photos.
You do worry that if we go to Old Trafford and play this way (we've got previous at spuds and pool) in the FA cup then it will end in tears.Quote:

All that matters is 3 points. I think there will be plenty more games like this but it's just the way it is. Top 4 will go down to the wire IMO.
Need to improve our performances though because I don't think we'll get away with what we served up today against a half-decent side.
