The Ox is really shit, isn't he? Is he always this poor? I don't watch arsenal much lately.

Palace comfortably holding Arsenal here. If they show a bit more adventure going forward, they could nick this.

6 at the back? seriously Pulis? but i guess its good if Arsenal drop points

It's what Palace do and did at the Etihad, hence just the 1 nil win. Arse will do the same

Fuck. I asked for that shit I guess.

It was a very good goal. Lovely pass from Cazorla and excellent finish by the Ox . Shit defending though. Still Jerome really missed a sitter. Palace have to come out now and odds are the Arse will score another.

[branny]

Palace may have an attempt on target if they carry on till this time tomorrow.

[phips]

great run from the Ox and blazing speed.

[blues2win]

Cracking goal from the Ox to be fair. I think we all saw this as a banker for the Arse. Rendezvous tomorrow at the Etihad. Must win.

Twice.

I'm never impressed with Arsenal whenever I've watched them this season, they don't seem all that great, but they always play slightly better than the opposition and then always win by a goal or two. It doesn't matter how amazing City play, their 3 points are just as valuable as the 3 points we pick up unfortunately.

I think they will drop points during their horror fixture run, but we will still drop points somewhere, so they really could end up pushing us all the way. I feel like it would be a bit of a tragedy if we somehow missed out to them, but stranger things have happened I guess.

[DoomMerchant]

Twice.

I still think he was complete shit first half.

Fair play to him for the goals. You'd never have guessed based on his play to that point.

[Tesl]

Apparently Arsenal have won 2-0 eleven times this season. They seem to do this every week.

Their next 2 matches are against Liverpool and Utd. They should win both, but screw it up and they could fall back a bit. I think we will know a lot more about their title chances after those fixtures.

They won't win both them games. If we win tomorrow I can see us being 4 or 5 points clear of arsenal by the end of the month.

Atletico are top of La Liga for now for the first time in 18 years. good for them. after losing Torres, Aguero, and Falcao and now likely Diego Costa theyve still managed to compete. Simeone has done a brilliant job.

Agree. Considering the wacky transfer circus they've been in the middle of for a few years and the fact that Barcelona and real are much better now than five years ago, it's nothing short of brilliant.

It is a fantastic achievement.

Longer term successor for Pellers?

Simeone plays completely different kind of football to what Pellegrini plays. Atletico relinquish possession a lot more and rely more on pressing. They are very similar to Mourinho's teams, imo.
