Arsenal getting gubbed by Palace.
This just highlights the wasted points by United over the last few weeks.
Absolutely infuriating.

Geez we were utterly awful, Partey injury the icing on a bad nights cake as our paper thin squad gets even thinner, another position we dont have realistic cover for. Basically going to be picking centre halves and attacking midfielders for the rest of the season as its all weve got. the only thing worse than us was Smudgers commentary!!!!

Palace were excellent, well deserved their emphatic win

Palace thoroughly deserved that tonight.

Amazing how quickly Viera has changed them from the turgid shite Hodgson used to serve up to a decent football side with relatively little money.

they bought excellently too (even moreso if you include Gallaghers loan) plus Guehi, Anderson, Eze, Edouard, Olise

Just checked their spend the last 2 seasons, I was surprised they’d spent £90m and recouped £18m.

A nett spend of £72m and they’ve got rid of a lot of highly paid deadwood too.

Works for me too tbh, be much better for us to finish 5th or 6th tbh as have said a few times. We have a core of 10 players but little below that and will need a lot of new bodies and they will all need integrating into Artetas way. If Europa not CL then we get to bring through some of the youngsters through rather than needing as many new bodies and get a longer transition period.

in what way have Arsenal bottled it?
While Spurs of course have the 'Spursy' reputation, Arsenal are classics for playing brilliantly when they're chasing something, but once they get into a position where it's theirs to lose they fall apart again. The only way you'll finish fourth is by nicking it on the last day so you can't give it away again. :p
