Crystal Palace Away

[Bradywasking]

Hope he doesn't rest anyone for this, league points are more important than anything else at this time.. Arsenal to take a 2-0 lead in first half with Palace looking like rabbits caught in headlights, second half a spirited response by Palace sees them score while Arsenal cannot shake of the lethargic dip in their performance. Arsenal perhaps to nick a late goal to win 3-1.

I realise it's ages since we played at Selhurst, and there has been a real bun fight for tickets ; this amuses me greatly, as when we played there twice every season back in the mid 90s (when Wimbledon were their tenants and also in the PL), and often drew one of them away in the cups too, you could not pay Gooners to go down there. What a pain that stadium is to get to.

Must be an easy win, and need the morale boost after last night as well.

Speaking of Theo how the hell can someone be out for this length of time with a stomach injury???

That why I thought it was a hernia- "posterial abdominal problem needing an operation", doesnt sound too different to a hernia to me, though hernias wre in the anterior not posterior wall usually

My first thought was a hernia as well. Might have been a perineal hernia, slightly sensitive I guess so maybe they did not want to broadcast the exact nature of the lesion to spare Theo some stick?

Sorry about the triple post

Seeing the Zidane headbutt in triplicate on the side of my screen is surreal!

Yeah... but also kind of cool...

Can't...stop...watching...

I keep wondering why he stitched him in the chest. Why not stitch him in the nose proper-style?

He should have gone a bit further South and went for the bollocks. That would be a GIF for the ages!

I managed to come out good in the bun fight and got my tickets....

Any suggestions for pre match drinks and gathering ??

Victoria station maybe ??

Hope Palace don't get any kind of boost from this and that our lot don't think it's easy. Alarming to hear Wenger saying some players are jaded. It's October

Fucking typical, suppose there will be a new (caretaker) manager 'bounce' now. That said, they are absolutely rank, as bad as derby when they racked up 11 points so I would rest several players as we are burning them out.

I would also probably start Bendy Big Bollocks too and if we can't put 3 - 4 past them within the hour then I'd bring on Giroud. If we lose this game I'll eat may own teeth.

Ignore it, he wheels it out so often it's like the Coach of the Decade Who Cried Wolf.

The Moroccan she male is 11/1 to be first goalscorer if that sort of stuff floats your boat
