Hmm. Not sure Palace are as good as they were last season.
 
When did I say it means anything?

All I said that Arsenal will probably deserve a win based on their first half performance.

Actually will retract that statement considering how palace are playing now.
You said they deserve to win because of it, that is surely in itself saying it means something?!

I'm saying I disagree, they don't deserve shit especially since they've retained 11 players when they should have played the whole second half with 10.
 
Arsenal hardly convincing, lucky not to be down to ten men (twice) and needed an own goal to win the game. Interesting season ahead.
 
Palace do realise they are only one goal behind right? They arent really going for an equaliser here, they seem so flat.
 
Even I was thinking that Arsenal could rise and mount a challenge this season. Nope. It's a different season, but the same Arsenal.
 
arsenal should've destroyed them on the counter all day. flattering to deceive like always
 
Fun game completely ruined by the ref. Though him not sending off Coq really affected the Palace players... almost like they were thinking "What's the feckin' point".
 
Fair play to Arsenal. Very good result that.

Don't think anyone on here can criticise them for the manner of the victory considering the two games you've played so far.
 
What's happened to Ramsey? Really stagnated in the past 6 months or so.

Difference is we admit ourselves we've been below par and there is plenty of room for improvement but as for Arsenal the media have built them up to be the team to beat this season and so far have looked average at best.

You could also say they managed to grind out the away win by a single goal and that three points are all that matters. But yeah, their defending is very shoddy and what Palace fans will be most aggrieved by was the protection they were afforded by a yellow-immune Coquelin.
 
Are you not tired that winning these games is all Wenger has to offer? He's a specialist in beating cannon fodder.
Didn't beat West Ham last week!

Not sure what you mean though. The whole narrative around the club is that we have to challenge for the league this season. If that doesn't happen then we (meaning Arsene) have failed.
 
Cech has become a nothing player. Delighted with Arsenal's crap transfer summer.

They've got good players going forward though, they pass it around too much and look more dangerous than their actual bite, as usual, but I wouldn't mind having any of their forwards starting for us.

Should have been down to 10 men not allowed to make a sub.
