finally a Saturday 3pm game.
Palace won't be easy. They'll Pardew it up and get in our faces, and their crowd will get on top of us.
1-1.

0-3
Potential banana skin for sure but Palace don't really have a lot of quality, except for Sanogo of course but he can't play.
0-2
That's putting it mildly.Quote:

If we can keep Chris Gayle (or whatever that kids name is) quite, we should be ok defensively.
Depends which Arsenal team turns up. If its the one that gave Stoke the lead inside 19 seconds then i fear for us but if we show the kind of fighting spirit and discipline we did at City or at Stoke at home then i cant see us dropping points.
1-1 or 1-4.
I'd say just keep giving him the ball if we want to guarantee a clean sheet.Quote:

Palace would appeal and they'd win.Quote:

Wheelchair is back for this.
Bellerin doubtful.
Hope he doesnt get anywhere near the pitch.. he is a liability. Rather we play Ozil + Cazorla in the middle or Cazorla + Rosicky... JW needs to be shipped the F out of the club.
Apparently wenger doesnt get on with pardew (apart from the fact that pardew is a ****) because when young pardew was learning his trade as a manager, one of the first managers to open the door for him for AW who let him watch our sessions and offered him support. AW was pissed off when pardew celebrated that west ham win in 2006 and felt let down and disrespectted by somebody who was once a nothing man that he helped out.
Need to win this!!! We could be in 3rd place by the end of the weekend.
I have a feeling it will be 2-1. I think the crowd at will get on top of us.
I was quite confident but they have had a decent record of late. They beat Spurs at home :(
Come on, Arsenal.
We always get a good result against Crystal Palace . And I can't remember the last time we lost to them . Looking forward to the game . Hopefully 1-3 Arsenal.
They are one of the worst possession teams in the League. If we take care of the ball, we should be in control, especially if Jedinak doesn't play. They have unpredictable, direct players, but they shouldn't be much of a problem if we approach it right. How we start will, as usual, dictate the rest of the game. We've started games quite well recently, so there's hope we don't sleepwalk into this and get mauled like we did at Stoke.
An optimistic 1-3 (Giroud, Cazorla, Walcott).
Starting 11: Ospina, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Welbeck, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
Sub: Szczesny, Gibbs, Bellerin, Gabriel, Wilshere, Rosicky, Walcott
Full teams:
Crystal Palace: Speroni, Ward, Delaney, Dann, Souare, Mutch, Ledley, Puncheon, Zaha, Gayle, Campbell.
Subs: Hennessey, Hangeland, Kelly, Jedinak, Bolasie, Ameobi, Murray.
Arsenal: Ospina, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Welbeck, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud.
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Bellerin, Gabriel, Wilshere, Rosicky, Walcott.
We're up against pace, pace, pace and pace today and our two road-runner full-backs are benched. Hope it doesn't prove costly. Especially on Chambers' side.
Monreal has improved of late, i think well be ok on his side. However Welbeck needs to stay and help Chambers out. he cant afford to lose possession stupidly. We can win this and win it well
God help me, I finally got Michael Owen doing analysis on PLTV...

That was a fucking goal.
The tone is set.
Coq :doh: WTF?
Played onside there :rolleyes:
Özil a little bit offside.
Fuck off coq
It'll even itself out when Utd are awarded an offside goal later.Quote:
