Match Reaction vs Palace (home).

[Ernesto]

If he were to win the title this year, it would go down as one of the greatest wins of his career. To come out on top in a year where Pep, Klopp, Jose and Conte are all in the league at the biggest clubs...that's a big deal. That's a Royal Rumble.

Wengers going to Wrestlemania!

That's a Royal Rumble.

Bet he comes 4th in that too.

4th means nothing in a Rumble....unless you're Bret then you can have a pay per view all to yourself the following month.

But we didn't 'bottle it' today or Boxing Day when everyone else had won. Had we dropped points today I'm sure people would be saying we bottled it.
The Everton and City games are where we fell behind and that's not good enough but Chelsea are close to equalling our record run of 14 wins in a row and no-one is keeping up with them right now.

Need I say anything? Shameful.

Why do you keep saying 4th? We haven't finished 4th for 3 years.

Agreed. If Chelsea go mental and win every game under the sun then fine, I accept we can't compete with that, but do what you can. Win the games you should win, put SOME pressure on. Liverpool dropped points yesterday, it was a chance to put pressure on them.Not good enough.

4th as the finish line. Great if we finish higher, but the season's goal is 4th. Our trophy.

It's the minimum goal, not what Wenger is trying to achieve.
The annoying thing about him is he's good enough to do that every year - which isn't to be sniffed at and certainly suits the board - but he's not good enough to win the title. Were he as inept as you claim we wouldn't finish top 4 every year but fat lot of good that is if that's all we do.

Mentality of the club from top to bottom is wrong. You only have to watch Wenger's post game comments, Ramsey's post game comments, Giroud's goal celebration and contrast that with the reaction from Alexis after the final whistle. This isn't a good result but I see losers like Welbeck praising Giroud on Twitter as if he won us the game.
