Congrats mate.

First i want to say congratulations to Palace and Geoff tonight Palace wanted this more from the start to the end and every Palace player worked their socks off tonight.
I don't know what to say anymore about us it was just another awful performance from every Arsenal player they don't even want to play for Wenger anymore this result would be the end for any other manager tonight but not for Wenger and this chaos will just carry on.

Wenger surely has to go ?

Congrats on the win man. That Chelsea one two a few weeks ago. Sorry, I haven't had much time to be on here lately. Your squad has been playing real well for the past month and a half now, and I think you guys are real close to securing your stay up top. Keep it up!

As if we need any more kicks in the teeth.

Well done GVortex!

Thanks bud. I appreciate that. It's a shame things have unraveled like this for your team. I thought they would at least put up a fight towards the end of the season, but it's obvious they've completely tuned out Moyes. Sorry mate.

Bad times ahead mate. Especially if Moyrs stays in charge next season. This is the worst time I can remember in terms of atmosphere. We can't even be bothered to protest! We have been let down so many times but this feels like pure apathy.

Without any 'staying up' tension to worry about, I had the chance to really study players body language and attitude. This is just my opinion, but Kone is a utter disgrace. The guy can't be arsed and the quicker we get him out the better. IMO, he represents everything that is bad about the modern game. .

Sorry Tob and Penton....

The result worked for me.....perhaps if there are enough outcomes like this before the end of the season, the Board will be shamed into taking control of the football club rather than cow towing to the manager and profit making.

I love the spirit of the fans in that stadium.

Plus, with the broadcast presented over here in the U.S., I got to see the eagle fly across the field before the match.

Now all we need is for Sanchez to move to Man City or Chelsea. Not only would that be a killer blow, but a statement as to the whole situation.

Cheers tob. When Joel Ward starts doing step-overs in the corner then you know Palace are either very good or the opposition is very bad. Bit of both last night, Palace just fancied it more but Arsenal were a shadow of their former selves.

Who would you guys want as a manager, should Arsene finally give it up?

I can imagine. I definitely wouldn't want to be in your shoes in the near future.

For a moment there, I thought you were talking about our Kone. It's ironic that both our clubs have a player with that name. Why is yours so bad though? Is he just going through the motions and not caring about the results and such?

In my opinion, yes. Ironically he tried to get himself a move to Everton and was even photographed with a Everton fan in a hotel. Disgrace and he lost my respect that day. His agent probably had loads of say in that as well.

They've got that important away goal against Anderlecht, which helps.
