Arsenal vs Crystal Palace match thread

[Canterbury Palace]

Really good from from half time. Shame to lose like that but at least we don't have an extra two games on the calendar I suppose. Benitez was awesome.

A whole four days to prepare for the next game now, bloody spoilt players.

Arsenal really are not that good.

duh

Catching the old chap in your flies is better than that.

3 penalty shootouts this season. Won 2 lost 1. And we took our best penalties in the one we lost 🤣

No complaints anyway. Much better performance than the Leeds game.

Second half, yes. But we were awful first half and should have been at least 3 down. Was wanting Mateta off but in truth it was removing Nketia and Canvot that made the difference and we were more balanced. I should add Pino to the names I’ve mentioned who makes us weaker, especially if others aren’t up to form as have been the case lately?

Benitez top display.

And Adam? s*** hot. That is one classy player.

Top marks to the lads for finally getting to grips with the game and playing with more intent in the second half.

Commiserations to Max. I feel for him. He's a real Palace player and has been superb for us since joining.

Despite the loss, I'm a happy man tonight.

A night to forget for Lacroix.
We have been eliminated from the Carabao Cup, I have had a fit of the vapours and my dear wife has bellowed words which can be translated as "Mute".

Take it with humour! My wife has often told me to calm down because it was a night to forget. And it wasn't even Palace's fault, but mine, in her opinion.

 

[Stansferret]

It was way closer than most predicted. All considered I thought that was a great effort from our team.

Her diatribe was awash with asperity as I resorted to disobliging comments on account of our result tonight. 😡

In the final analysis, Arsenal are through to the semi-finals and we have to 'Lick our wounds'.
Yelps of self-combusting in 'Casa Willo'. 😡

How's that going - have you had the stitches out yet?
