Crystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal | Premier League 26/10/13

[prolific]

I thought we had the best conversion rate out of any team this year? In which case I wouldn't say they're more ruthless at all.

We've also scored 20 goals this year and they've scored 8.

ah no I didn't mean that way. I meant passing wise, they seem to bomb forward quicker even if they cockup.. continuously.

Don't forget that fatigue plays a big part a well. Palace had the week off, whereas we played the CL runners up midweek. Understandable that they looked sharper, important that we still got the win.

fatigue ? thats not a good enough excuse. The team didn't exactly pull a performance out the bag midweek, infact many didn't turn up and today it just didn't click.

This is important not to forget - it's easy to overlook factors like injuries, fatigue etc when you get carried away with the discussion, however, as a team trying to win things you get held to higher standards - if Chelsea and City get the job done despite facing the same conditions as us we can't really have too many excuses. Our injury situation is an on-going farce, hard to know who's at fault but it's hard to not question our medical team.

There are though still a host of players available to Wenger. Arsene is adamant these players are the real deal so its time to show it.

I may sound really harsh to some of you. I'm just nervous and a little pissed off.

Hopefully everyone will have a weeks rest before 'Pool

This thread needs more rage.

^^^ Very well-refereed game under intense pressure.

Just got in, will now say, Arteta shouldn't have been sent off. You cannot determine 100% from the half-way line that Arteta was the last man. It is impossible to call that for definite because there was enough space for someone to cover. I hope Arsenal appeal, they have to depending on Flamini's groin injury.

Yellow yes, red no.

Last man isn't the rule, it's whether he denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity or not.

And you clearly cannot determine that 100% from the half-way line.

Wasn't the halfway line.

Looking back through the thread... jesus Hans, eat a Snickers.

Fine, slightly in front of it, but the point still remains valid.

Not really, there's no Arsenal player getting to the goal before Chamakh.

Giroud always makes the wrong decisions

25 goals and 16 assists.
always is a sanitory product designed to stop unwanted leakage
its not meant to be used orally but in your case it may be a good idea

OK, but it's taken him 14 months to acheive those numbers, RVP did similar in far less time.

Proves that Giroud isn't good enough, especially as RVP had sod all talent around him, Giroud has Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla.


There's some facts.

[starmandb]

Who were those shitheads saying Ramsey was shit again?

Me, and i stand by what i said.


We played the worst PL team since derby county and nearly f***ked up, hardly something to write home about.

thats why sunderland are below them?

Are you seriously trying to tell me that Sunderland are worse than Palace?


You're more messed up than i originally thought.

With 9 goals in 13 appearances, a haul of lovely assists and more tackles than anyone in the league, now is a funny time to call Aaron Ramsey shit.

It took Robin over 2 years to hit 25 goals.

A couple of not-so-great performances (in which he still got an assist) and you'r banging on about how you saw this coming and that you were right all along. There's a reason why literally no one else agrees with you about Ramsey, and it's obvious you're just pulling stuff out of your arse to justify you're illogical and weird dislike of him. I mean, I can understand the Giroud thing - he's a very attractive man and has probably awoken something inside of you, which has made you a bit confused. It happens. Don't fight it.
