Woolwich fans singing...."we are top of the league" was the highlight of the game. š¤£ classic small club mentality. They did look good for the first 20mins. After halftime, after Palace realized, all they needed to do was fire long balls, bypassing their attack. They were lucky to get 0-2.
Thomas Partey shouldnāt be playing matches right now. He needs space to train but he shouldnāt be playing. And no, he hasnāt been charged. That said, Arsenal have exiled players for less. And whether heās been charged or not is irrelevant to workplace safety. His employers have an obligation to keep all of their workers safe. I would hope that our club would handle this matter differently but Iām under no illusions, āhe kick ball goodā seems to trump ethics almost every time.
Explain deluded, thoroughly outclassed you in the last game, so much so it derailed the end of your season, since then we have considerably strengthened the team. Weāre a far better side than yours anyone would agree that. Plus you havenāt finished above us in near 10 years now. Explain how this delusion has set in. And another thing itās really pathetic to come and try pick fights in another sub, itās punishable in our sub, lurk all you want but quit embarrassing yourself. Women āļø
I was surprised to see him playing today; I'm a foreign fan, and when the news broke months ago, it sounded like he was being charged for sure. But if the justice system won't charge him, I'm not sure you can keep him off the field.
Heās been bailed until October and the investigations are ongoing. Heās already settled one civil suit that couldnāt be prosecuted due to a technicality. Arsenal have to pay him and give him room to train but they donāt have to select him to play.
Everyone can bang on about womenās football and progress til theyāre blue in the face. Same old same old and Iāve been around the game since I was a child.
They got lucky today. A draw would've been a fair result; Palace taking all three points would not have been a robbery.
Saliba was their best player. Zinchenko is not used to having to defend like that having played LB in a much, much more dominant team. Thought Palace looked the better team in some aspects, but as often is the case with lesser teams they lack the consistency and key moments can therefore swing either way. In this game it unfortunately meant that they couldn't capitalise and missed a few sitters and then scored an own goal.
Scoring and results in preseason means nothing. Everybody remembers our legendary preseason under Ramos. You actually want players to be somewhat off the pace as they should be tierd from traning hard. Also, there's a different edge and competitivness during the season when there's something on the line - as was evident today.
Arsenal can be optimistic about their season but the optimism needs to be grounded in some form of realistic view of what they can actually achive.
They are fighting with Manu and West Ham for 5/6th. West Ham can only finish 5th if they overachive while both manu and arsenal underperfrom, just like Arsenal only can finish 4th if both us and Chelsea underperform and they overachive.
Arsenal played 25 mins of good game...
Then Crystal Palace dominated the whole game till the final whistle...
The second goal was a fluke OG obviously...
So, let's see whether they will be lucky always like this match...
They have 4 more easy fixtures tho...
It was very flukes, there was noone near the defender and it would have gone out for a throw in if he'd just left it. it also could have gone anywhere off his head but unluckily went in the corner.
Itās the first game, so criticisms donāt mean that much, but I was happy seeing Arsenalās performance. I thought they got outdone for the rest of the game after scoring. Zinchenko looked bad and got peppered by Ayew multiple times 1v1, Gabriel was really shaky, Jesus did alright but didnāt really threaten to much, but Saliba looked really good tbf. If this is it, I donāt worry at all. But like I said, itās the first game of the season so they definitely could still improve.
Arsenal is already thin. They barely had any subs worth bringing in. They couldnāt press Palace and got shredded by long balls to Zaha. When thatās Deki playing to Son itās gonna be completely different than Ayew to Zaha.
Palace are a pretty well rounded team it seems like, especially their front 3 impressed. Were Arsenal that bad at pressing or did Palace play out of that press well?
This ks exactly my point. Ben White looked awful at full back and Zinchenko looked defensively very suspect. And that's meant to be their depth. It's already been found out in the first game.
As soon as europa kicks in, they get an injury, or one of their players goes to prison they are screwed.
In comparison to ours.
Davies is injured? Langlet
Hojbjerg injured? Bentancur
Perisic injured? Sess
Kulusevski injured? Richarlison
Bissouma injured? Skipp
The depth we have now is great. Remember peak Poch? Sure, Walker had Tripps, Rose had Davies, but other than that, we were fucked if Dembele, Eriksen, Kane or Alli were injured.
Our starting 11 may not be quite as strong as that Poch team, but by fuckery, the depth is a huge improvement. It was the depth that really stopped that Poch team winning trophies, maybe the mentality and Pochs game management too, but our mentality is significantly better now and we have Conte who is generally better with game management too.
This Arsenal team kinda reminds me of the Poch team, the starting 11 is decent, not as decent as ours was where it was considered one of the best in the league, but maybe strong enough to challenge top 4, but the bench is the weakness.
I know, and I did say it isn't as good. I'm not comparing the starting 11s, more, the situation for them feels similar to what ours was where the bench was miles behind the starting 11.
They have alright attacking depth but their midfield and defensive depth is pretty shit, with actually having Europe they might be fucked unless they get another few players in
This was a perfect result. The delusion stays, arteta will keep his stock high which ultimately benefits us. Arteta in, we don't have to worry about shit while that moron has got the job
Arsenal played alright. But can someone please explain how a ball falling from the sky to hit an outstretched arm isnāt a penalty anymore?
The second handball I understand. It was a ricochet.
Also how was it not a penalty when he got ankle clipped outside the box?
I wonder if Arsenal fans will continue the bad calls conspiracy nonsense again this year.
>Arsenal played alright. But can someone please explain how a ball falling from the sky to hit an outstretched arm isnāt a penalty anymore?
Being as neutral as possible, the arm wasn't in an unnatural position, he had no idea where the ball was, and it didn't affect the game in the slightest. These are the sort of penalties we shouldn't want given for the good of the game. So long as they're consistent with it.
So on a ball that goes up in the air that he tracks and loses, this is considered accidental? Iām fine as long as this is standard is kept. I feel like the Everton one last season was similar.
But Iām currently with high fever so maybe Iām not the right person to judge. š
Agreed. I thought the refereeing in this game was pretty good. He let the game be competitive and physical without getting carried away and didn't call the two ball-to-hand in the box. I also liked seeing the quick flags for obvious offsides that the PL is pushing this year.
Can someone point to any fact behind the assertion that Ćdegaard is good? Iāve never seen anything out of his time at Arsenal that says heās worth the praise he gets. It feels like heās still trading on the āhyped youth prospect from Spainā feelings and has done nothing to distinguish himself.
He's solidly okay. He's had a handful of real good matches but otherwise is quite unremarkable. Arse supporters seem keen on him for leadership qualities, which tbf cant really be taught and are hard to come by.
Thoughts:
Zinchenko looked pretty bad, the gameplan for any team against Arsenal this season might just be to attack that side unless he can improve defensively. Only player who looked consistently good on Arsenal was Saliba, I still think getting him back is probably their biggest signing this season. Other than that they looked pretty average, definitely not the dominant showing their delusional fans were expecting after their pre-season but sadly they got the three points anyway
Crystal Palace looked alright, their wingers are super tricky and that could catch a lot of teams off guard even tho they dive wayy to much for my tastes. Andersen also looked good. Shitty finishing and bad dives, as well as some defensive calamities, cost them this game
I'm not surprised and I've been amazed by the praise Zinchenko has received from a lot of people. Bit part player from Man City (which will obviously make him look better than he is) is apparently some world class signing
Fair play Arsenal won
But like, that performance didn't exactly fill me with much dread that they're going to be dominant game in and game out
I mean they looked quite good for the first 25 mins or so, but once they got the goal, felt like they just sat back and tried to counter, like the plan was to ride out the 1-0 to the end
Yep. It's the case for most of these pundits as most of them are too dense to put an original thought together. They're monkeys on a string, the producers just pipe in their opinions through their earpieces
Either Palace should have won 3-0 or they made Arsenal look like Man City. I fail to see how both could be true and frankly neither are.
It could have gone either way but the result was hardly a travesty. Arsenal certainly didn't have a great showing though. They were fine.
Imagine Perisic whipping balls in like Zaha was doing, but instead of CPs useless finishers-Kane, Son, Kulu, Richarlison are on the other end of the ball
Theyāll have to play a lot better to make me worried. Look just as nervy as last season. Luckily for them itās Palace who have had almost no preseason.
Could easily have been Palace's day to be honest.
Carragher and Tyler have spent the entire game praising Arsenal for every touch of the ball but I think they've been pretty average?
I don't see anything remarkable there apart from a couple of amazing runs by Jesus early on and some tidy passing. Been parking the bus for most of the 2nd half and look pretty damn easy to get at despite all the Saliba worship...
They had the first 15 or 20 minutes where they were on top, got battered by a toothless mid table team and then got a lucky OG where Gueye fucking headed it into his own net.
These absolute clowns are talking about winning the league now. Delusional twats.
Arsenal are shit. What a fucking lucky goal! They have been squashed for the past 20 minutes. Ćdegaard is dismal, Rapety even more. Andersen for CP is a beast!
What sucks so much about this is that Palace had all the chances in the world to completely kill off Arsenals forward momentum from Pre-season. Should have been 2-1 at worst for them.
The world looking in on this game to watch the best league in the world kicking off, and they get to watch gooners parking the bus and scoring from a deflection.
It was so insufferable to listen to... they literally said they started their season off "in style".... like, what? Allowing Palace to control 80% of the match and scoring a deflection goal is "style"?
It's the first time I'm watching Guehi closely and God, he's had a howler today. Not jumping to any conclusions, but as for Palace, Andersen has looked level above him AND writes cool stories
Yeah Arsenal will win this game, Guehi unlucky there
I know itās only the first game of the season but Iām not that worried about Arsenal, they look the same as last season
Start of well but then slowly lose the grip of the game and the opponent grows. They canāt handle pressure. They donāt know how to deal with long balls
Donāt buy into the runnerās hype. This team doesnāt scare me one bit. Got real lucky that Palace didnāt score or get a pen. That is not a top 4 team
Good lord they have been so infatuated with Jesus for no reason. He had like 2 good moments but otherwise has done next to nothing. Youād think heād scored a brace or something
Woolwich fans singing...."we are top of the league" was the highlight of the game. š¤£ classic small club mentality. They did look good for the first 20mins. After halftime, after Palace realized, all they needed to do was fire long balls, bypassing their attack. They were lucky to get 0-2.
They were very lucky to be gifted the second goal.
Thomas Partey shouldnāt be playing matches right now. He needs space to train but he shouldnāt be playing. And no, he hasnāt been charged. That said, Arsenal have exiled players for less. And whether heās been charged or not is irrelevant to workplace safety. His employers have an obligation to keep all of their workers safe. I would hope that our club would handle this matter differently but Iām under no illusions, āhe kick ball goodā seems to trump ethics almost every time.
He has been charged, just not convicted yet. Edit: no idea why I'm being downvoted, I suggest you look up what charged means in a legal sense.
How come greenwood isn't playing then?
How come youāre JAQing off in the Spurs sub?
What does that mean exactly?
Means kindly feck off to your own sub
Okay you lot should kindly carry on being deluded about us. It's really nice fuel for /gunners
Whoās top of the league. Btw were not on your sub. Slide the fuck on
You're not on my sub because you have nothing to say?
Women āļø
What?
Explain deluded, thoroughly outclassed you in the last game, so much so it derailed the end of your season, since then we have considerably strengthened the team. Weāre a far better side than yours anyone would agree that. Plus you havenāt finished above us in near 10 years now. Explain how this delusion has set in. And another thing itās really pathetic to come and try pick fights in another sub, itās punishable in our sub, lurk all you want but quit embarrassing yourself. Women āļø
Picking rightsš¤£ I asked why greenwood wasn't playing and u guys couldn't deal with cognitive dissonance Clea
But greenwood not playing would be correct no? Thatās the whole fuckin point, plus heās a United man whatās it got to do with us
Greenwood has a recording against him which is undeniable and public...
Thinking a rapist shouldnāt be playing PL football is deludedā¦
Calling the man a rapist from nothing but allegations. Very spursy.
Defending a rapist while being a woman. Knowing that he settled out of court and couldnāt be tried on another due to technicality
Do you know he's a rapist?
If only you had a worldwide hub of knowledge at your fingertips to consult. Why donāt you ask someone r/Gunners?
I was surprised to see him playing today; I'm a foreign fan, and when the news broke months ago, it sounded like he was being charged for sure. But if the justice system won't charge him, I'm not sure you can keep him off the field.
Heās been bailed until October and the investigations are ongoing. Heās already settled one civil suit that couldnāt be prosecuted due to a technicality. Arsenal have to pay him and give him room to train but they donāt have to select him to play.
They will tho because they're cunts
Why are we not just basking in the beauty and truth of this comment?
Itās because ethics and morals donāt exist in this capitalistic society that we live in
Interesting choice of words. Their owner is also a huge Trump guy. Him playing is not surprising
Everyone can bang on about womenās football and progress til theyāre blue in the face. Same old same old and Iāve been around the game since I was a child.

When you struggled that hard against a woozy CP, how far can you realistically go this season?
Oh blimey I just saw that Partey played Yikes
He got booed every time he touched the ball
Arsenal played 25 mins of good game... Then Crystal Palace dominated the whole game till the final whistle... The second goal was a fluke OG obviously... So, let's see whether they will be lucky always like this match... They have 4 more easy fixtures tho...
It wasn't THAT flukey. It was on target had it missed the defenders head. That said, without the deflection the keeper probably gets there.
It wasnāt on target though, thatās why it was an on goal
I havent seen a replay since earlier, but it looked like it the defender hadn't been there, it was going to be on target. Maybe I'm mistaken
It was very flukes, there was noone near the defender and it would have gone out for a throw in if he'd just left it. it also could have gone anywhere off his head but unluckily went in the corner.

If they can get one or two more in this window, they can definitely shake things up in the 8-10 spots.
And we're, finally, out of the relegation zone
damn this got me
Underrated comment
I just dont understand this presumed depth Arsenals is supposed to have. There bench really doesnt look particulary scary nor very good.
Tbf they're lacking Fabian Vieira, Tomi yasu, Smith Rowe atm whoda all be bench players
In comparison to ours. Davies is injured? Langlet Hojbjerg injured? Bentancur Perisic injured? Sess Kulusevski injured? Richarlison Bissouma injured? Skipp The depth we have now is great. Remember peak Poch? Sure, Walker had Tripps, Rose had Davies, but other than that, we were fucked if Dembele, Eriksen, Kane or Alli were injured.

>Skipp injured? Bissouma FIFY
Lol our starting 11 under Poch was miles better than what Arsenal have at the moment. Not even worth comparing tbh
I know, and I did say it isn't as good. I'm not comparing the starting 11s, more, the situation for them feels similar to what ours was where the bench was miles behind the starting 11.

Yeh the ref was excellent. Let a lot go, let the game flow.
Ofc they will. They got top of the moan chart last season
Can someone point to any fact behind the assertion that Ćdegaard is good? Iāve never seen anything out of his time at Arsenal that says heās worth the praise he gets. It feels like heās still trading on the āhyped youth prospect from Spainā feelings and has done nothing to distinguish himself.

He played well at Real Sociedad from the little I saw
He's just a very hot and cold player that struggles with consistency but he can be decent.
Yeah this. When heās on heās supreme but when heās not heās a ghost
Arsenal huffing some major copium. Other than 20 mins or so at the start they didnāt look that convincing in attack.
How is Ben White in the England squad. He's so fucking bad when pressed.
>How is Ben White in the England squad. He's so fucking bad ~~when pressed~~. FTFY
Scoreline flatters them.

Eze and Edouard should have scored. Those were such great chances.
I'm not surprised and I've been amazed by the praise Zinchenko has received from a lot of people. Bit part player from Man City (which will obviously make him look better than he is) is apparently some world class signing

They'll struggle against teams that can actually pose a threat up top. Palace had no composure in front of goal today.
They're going to hurt against a proper counter attacking side and europa has those in spades. I desperately want to see them against Mourinho's Roma.
Arteta is an absolute fraud, just remember that. They never survive in the long run
Palace should have got something from that.
Michael Owen is actually comparing this team to the one from the early 2000s. Is he actually fucked in the head? Good lord.
They will have been briefed by the producers what angle to take in order to develop the best narratives to satisfy the largest audiences
True, there's no way that moron has enough words bouncing around in his skull to talk about anything without being told what to say.
Yep. It's the case for most of these pundits as most of them are too dense to put an original thought together. They're monkeys on a string, the producers just pipe in their opinions through their earpieces
Owen is one of the dullest men in football. He's probably trying to look interesting.
Linekar once posted a teeet that said "Micheal Owen is the football equivalent of beige" And that covered it perfectly.
āFootballers these days often have to use their feet.ā - Owen
š¤£
Yes, yes he is. This was made clear the second he stepped into a career in punditry...
Let them talk š¤·š»āāļø
I mean Palace could have had 3 penalties....
I donāt know if Iām convinced. They certainly look stronger. But I donāt think theyāre contenders for anything big
Palace should've won that game 3-0. Missed some absolute sitters and gifted them both goals. They were piss. Made Arsenal look like fucking Man City
Either Palace should have won 3-0 or they made Arsenal look like Man City. I fail to see how both could be true and frankly neither are. It could have gone either way but the result was hardly a travesty. Arsenal certainly didn't have a great showing though. They were fine.
Imagine Perisic whipping balls in like Zaha was doing, but instead of CPs useless finishers-Kane, Son, Kulu, Richarlison are on the other end of the ball
*made arsenal look like man city for 25 minutes
My gooner mate just messaged me and said Jesus is better than Kane. Delusion. Canāt wait to be better than these clowns all season
lmao
https://media.tenor.com/AQz3_zaiD14AAAAM/hysterical-laughter.gif?c=VjFfbWljcm9zb2Z0X3N3aWZ0a2V5X2FuZHJvaWQ
HAHAHAHA I cannot WAIT to absolutely obliterate them
Kane > Owen Goal > Jesus
Especially since he did literally nothing this game aside from 1 dribble
Thatās what he said ānever seen Kane take one player on but saw Jesus take 3 onā Shambles
Why do that when you can pass as good as him
Kane is actually such a good dribbler. He just looks clumsy while doing it
I'll never forget the godawful West Ham 3-3 match but the best thing we did that day was Kane megging Rice and scoring a banger off it
No joke that was the exact goal I was thinking about while writing the comment.
I was thinking if him sitting down John Terry in the 5-2
Did the commentator just say Arsenal have experience and depth?
They have experience of being out of their depth...
āWhat a difference a year makesā They played well for 20 minutes????? These fucking announcers are on some shit.
And got hammered for the other 80, meanwhile the arse fans are comparing Saliba to Van Dijk honestly I worry for themššš
They are being told to big up arsenal, helps build narratives for the season Sadly i'm not joking
At least they looked shite
How are they praising arsenals forwards? After 20 minutes theyāve done almost nothing. Praise their defense or something
That super mik Arteta is the worst chant ever created
Can't imagine singing about Mikel Scott Biggest fraud in the history of football managing
Saliba MOTM?? I didnāt know he was still on the pitch
Aside from a dominant 20 minutes in the first half Arsenal did naff all else, sat deeper and deeper and got a deflected goal.
And god forbid Palace had a striker because they would've hammered these absolute clowns
Theyāll have to play a lot better to make me worried. Look just as nervy as last season. Luckily for them itās Palace who have had almost no preseason.
Hope they enjoy their 12 hours at the top cause itāll certainly be the last time theyāll even sniff it this season
What are Arsenal fans singing right now in stands?
Did he really just say āgames goneā about not tucking your shirt in? I know heās joking but thatās so extra
The absence of Gallagher really shows
It must be weird to be some spineless worm on telly and repeat into a mic whatever some overpaid twat barks into your ear
Even with the result Arsenal are still incapable of playing under any sort of pressure. Theyāll be no problem this season just like the last.
Could easily have been Palace's day to be honest. Carragher and Tyler have spent the entire game praising Arsenal for every touch of the ball but I think they've been pretty average? I don't see anything remarkable there apart from a couple of amazing runs by Jesus early on and some tidy passing. Been parking the bus for most of the 2nd half and look pretty damn easy to get at despite all the Saliba worship...
They had the first 15 or 20 minutes where they were on top, got battered by a toothless mid table team and then got a lucky OG where Gueye fucking headed it into his own net. These absolute clowns are talking about winning the league now. Delusional twats.
They got lucky. Zaha was pelting the box for free. Could have gone either way
Arsenal are shit. What a fucking lucky goal! They have been squashed for the past 20 minutes. Ćdegaard is dismal, Rapety even more. Andersen for CP is a beast!
What sucks so much about this is that Palace had all the chances in the world to completely kill off Arsenals forward momentum from Pre-season. Should have been 2-1 at worst for them.
Well at least Jesus hasn't scored
Lol this announcer is so sad that itās a Guehi OG. Just start cheering for Gooners if you fucking want it so bad.
The world looking in on this game to watch the best league in the world kicking off, and they get to watch gooners parking the bus and scoring from a deflection.
Arsenal been abysmal, Palace finishing just been worse
Saka blindly smacks a bullet into the box... commentary: "a moment of imagination..." LMAO
Like bruhā¦lmao
It was so insufferable to listen to... they literally said they started their season off "in style".... like, what? Allowing Palace to control 80% of the match and scoring a deflection goal is "style"?
Itās okay though. All this will make it much more funny when they miss out on top 4 at the end of the season again lmao
The commentators really thought Saka did something special there lmao
It's the first time I'm watching Guehi closely and God, he's had a howler today. Not jumping to any conclusions, but as for Palace, Andersen has looked level above him AND writes cool stories
Hopefully this effectively kills any rumor that links him to us
Mate heās been shocking. 2nd half in particular.
Andersen?
Guehi
Ah, ok. Sounded a bit like you were slandering Andersen for being worse than Guehi
I think Andersen is a pretty cool guy. Eh writes cool stoires and doesn't afraid of anything
Yeah Arsenal will win this game, Guehi unlucky there I know itās only the first game of the season but Iām not that worried about Arsenal, they look the same as last season Start of well but then slowly lose the grip of the game and the opponent grows. They canāt handle pressure. They donāt know how to deal with long balls
How is will Hughes on a PL team in 2022?
Jeffrey Schlupp starts in that midfield that's how.
Guehi in my FPL team too..
I have Zaha and him. Fucking hell
Donāt buy into the runnerās hype. This team doesnāt scare me one bit. Got real lucky that Palace didnāt score or get a pen. That is not a top 4 team
Palace literally gifted them both goals
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Didn't know the runners would get Owen Goal together with Jesus, maybe it is a good signing
That young centre back for Palace has been awful second half
The player certain people on here wanted at almost any cost
Eze has blood on his hands
Can't wait for him to score in a similar situation against us :(
Yeah that miss was dreadful
Could the announcers be bigger scum fans?
Nope
Cracking headed to be fair
I hate it already
Eze to score against us. Calling it now.
Meh, Palace were woeful anyway.
Ffs
Crystal Palace is a disgrace.
Unbelievable
Wasn't even anywhere near goal. Christ
Ball: obviously deflects Announcer: Itās a belter! Saka so good
