:woohoo: :woohoo:
Haven't seen any of the game but was checking the scores on my phone and thought it finished 1-1. Ramsey you fucking maverick!
Can't wait to watch motd. Van Gaal :haha:
Wins a win.
and we did.
:)
A fairly shocking performance on the whole, but a win's a win.
Arsenal :bow:
Didn't dicks and chicks get banned from here a while back?
Very surprised by all those negative comments . It was easy to see that most of the players are not match-fit yet mostly due to the world cup and very short pre-season . But they tried their best .
While few of them had their worst game others show some very encouraging signs :
Chambers was very good at the CB position which is impressive for someone his age playing his first PL game for a big team.
Monreal has definitely improved and is ready to prove his haters wrong .
Giroud seems to have taken his game to another level and he will be up with the best PL center forward out there
Alexis Sanchez , even though he is not used to the PL yet , but he is ready for the battle and will not get bullied .
Debuchy made sure we don't and we won't regret Sagna . He even looks an upgrade .
The whole team showed an improvement of their defensive game . Apart from the goal which took them by surprise and due to some mistake especially by Alexis for failing to mark Hangeland ,they work hard to regain possession whenever they lost the ball.
Ramsey did not have his best game but his goalscoring ability is still there .
Shaznay-a bit meh and how many seasons has he had to work on clearances FFS row z man
Chambers-:bow:
Kos-bit rusty but the only one making a run for his goal :bow:
Dabitchy-okay but link up was a bit weak
Gibbs- was feeling his left hamstring before going off #madeofglass
Monreal-did okay, similar to his couple of good games just after he joined
Santi-improved when Giroud came on as better understanding
Wilshire-looked a little lightweight but was being kicked all over the show
Ox-needs sometime with Dabitchy and Alexis as on different wavelengths
Sanchez-lots of effort, strong as loved his jump up barge/foul on one of their thugs who'd knocked off the ball :bow:
Sanogo-(my autocorrect says "no replacement found" when I type Sanogo) yeah didn't have the muscle advantage looked average, saw one good run in the first half...er that was it
Giroud-meh
The Sun everyone :doh:
Chambers :wacko:

Terrible. Chambers looked good. Kos had the shaky game but made up for it with his goal.Quote:

I had hopes for Sanogo because his link up play and movement is usually good but that was a woeful display. I think Wenger needs to give someone else a shot like Campbell, Sanchez, Pod, or just go to the market.
After 14 attempts on goal to their 4 and 78% of the possession plus two goals to their one, the official history is written. Palace were unlucky and Arsenal stole the result due to Ramsey being almost as good as Lampard. A simple message from simple(ton) journalists.
For those content with Monreal's performance, he's fine provided he's not one on one with any player who has even mild pace. Put him up against pace and he's one of the biggest liabilities you'll ever see. But yes, he was okay yesterday with Palace playing 11 behind the ball and trying to waste 90 minutes.
I see Chambers is not going to be instantly granted English status by the media. He's not going to be on par with the peerless Luke Shaw (who would have been superb had he played yesterday). Perhaps if the kid works up a racial abuse routine and gets into coveting his neighbour's wife he'll start getting some credit. Meanwhile, he's had a super start to his Arsenal career and I see no reason at all why he can't be the #3 cover we have been looking for. If he's good enough he's old enough and to me he looks plenty good enough. He'll make mistakes due to lack of experience but the only way to prevent that is to get the experience. Tony Adams managed and this kid can too.
Alexis punched back just as hard as he was punched and that was encouraging. It must have been weird for him coming from a footballing background into the English league, he must have had plenty of WTF moments as he was punched, elbowed, clawed and kicked from all angles. He'll get used to it with the big question being can he survive nine months of it. Ozil struggled towards the end, a bit like a stock car that has done too many laps, but it looks like Alexis can handle himself.
We were so ridiculously dominant in that game it was an embarrassment for the league. The fact our passing and movement were entirely off yet we still bossed it in every way speaks volumes about "Tony Pulis' team". They came spoiling for a fight and fighting to spoil and they didn't disappoint. They displayed all the character of a typical and talentless English team, which is why they are getting the plaudits this morning. This sort of game appeals to apes and so it is fortunate we have apes running (and ruining) the game. And yet Palace can't be blamed for ditching the football, they'd be annihilated if they took us on at that game - we're pretty good at it when allowed to play. But when the gap is this big, and growing bigger by the day thanks to the "ambition" of the heroic financial dopers, they have to find some way to level the playing field (and all the people on it). Blame the dopers and the apes who applaud them for reducing the game to this.
It would be nice to get a bit of credit for not only remaining on our feet but emerging victorious. Slap on a Utd badge and this would be the mark of champions. Without the badge it's theft. We stole Crystal Palace's lolly-pop. Poor old Palace. But they still don't get the 3 points. We do. As for Utd, apparently their team is rotten to the core. Not even a self proclaimed genius can do much about it without wheelbarrows of cash being thrown onto a mountain of modern day ambition. They went into the game as a fearsome top 4 certainty (taking our place I assume), some had proclaimed them champions elect. Then reality dawned and the rats leapt overboard to write their hit pieces from the lifeboats. If van Gaal is a genius then what was Ferguson, who actually managed to win with the majority of that squad? Genius ain't what it used to be.
Silly old journalists. Stealing a living.
