Crystal Palace Away

I fully expect three points here. Last easy game before some testing fixtures come up. 8)

3-1 - enough to get the AKBs and media luvvies hailing our mock resilience before the November collapse

The team selection and formation for this could be very interesting - will Wenger have learnt anything from the last few years and start our best 11, or will he rotate ?

personally, having seen the last two games i don't think AW understands still how to balance defence and attack and/or how to best position the midfield we've actually got.

i think we'll outscore a poor Palace side, but not be convincing the same as against Naarich - if we don't rotate.

if we do 1-1 and we are 'a little jaded with the handbrake on'....

Crystal Palace have lost eight out of nine games this season and they have Chamakh up front :oops: :lol: It should be an easy win.

Does anyone think Super Nik should get a start? No outfield Arsenal player has played more minutes in the league than Giroud this season so I think we should give him rest. Have him on the bench just in case we need him.

Think Wenger will go with the first team knowing that everyone will be rested midweek for the Chelsea game.

Palace are shite but Gnabry has to start for Rosicky because we lack width.And Lets hope Flamini is fit to replace Arteta.If they do 3-0 win

The prospect of facing the deadly strike force of the Moroccan she male and grandad Kevin Phillips will be giving me sleepless nights all week. 8)

we need to work hard, will be a massive atmosphere and I predict palace to be game raising *word censored*. having said that they are without doubt the worst side in the league.

3-1 Arsenal

What are the odds on a Chamakh hattrick?

Not sure how many we will score but all will be rosey after this one.

Bendtner to start?? I'd rather play Fabianski or Pat Rice.

Maybe I was a bit harsh on Bendtner

I'm not sure anyone on here has been more critical of BillyBigBollox than me, but if we accept that Giroud can't play every minute of every game, then surely Palace is the game to give him a rest and give Bendy an opportunity. After all, if he can't look brilliant against Palace he won't against anybody else.
