This is really hard for me. Arsenal are my prem team so I had to cheer their goal. Come on Albion please equalise. It's my dream to watch us play at the Emirates.

I think it's clear where your loyalties lie.

You have to hand it to Arsenal, they're looking phenomenal, movement off the ball is fantastic and we're not picking them up. You can slag the team off all you like, but Arsenal are looking extremely strong.

We are just giving them too much time and space.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Arsenal cut apart the Premier League champions last week in the same manner, so we shouldn't be too critical of our team. They're clearly demoralised at 2-0 down it will be interesting to see how we react for the rest of the game. Hopefully we'll be brave and have a go.

he just wants a cheap game at the emirates.

Wtf have Arsenal got to do with Palace? Grow up.

Palace prick. What's it like to see a crowd?

The problem with the Poyet reign is that we STILL think we are Barcelona (or Arsenal), and we seem incapable of mixing it up, getting in opponents faces, etc.

True, but we are not exactly making it hard for them. We look like bedazzled rabbits, put the boot in, kick them show some passion!

Embarrassing at the moment, not even on the pitch yet

Starting to feel glad that I'm in France rather than at the Amex

Me too, also in France! Was listening on the radio but think I'll give it a miss from now, from BloI'm down we give premier league teams far too much respect and let that take over the players heads.

Oh well, is anyone really surprised about the result, hopefully we can keep it to 2 or 3 nil.

 

[Meade's Ball]

And Savage has to be tv football's biggest retard.

 

[sjamesb3466]

Chris Hughton must put two up front here to show a little desire if anything. Every time we come forward there are no players available, no figurehead. Holla went forward there and had to pass wide as there was nobody ahead of him?? Shocking tactics so far

Palace prick

Stop the abuse, I've edited many past posts to try and be reasonable about it all, but I'm not sitting here editing anymore.

 

[OzMike]

Not much man marking.

 

[mlg57]

Villa 2 up too.

 

[Grizz]

We are just giving them too much time and space.

The problem is they're just that good. You might not want to admit it and we all love the romance of the cup, but their movement gives them the space. Our lads could try and battle all they like, but Arsenal's movement give them the space.

Have to say though, wrong game to play JFC in. He looks utterly lost out there.

 

[OzMike]

Hard to see what the game plans is, or was.

 

[brightn'ove]

This could easily be 4-6 0.

Were giving them all the space in the world then lose possesion almost within 3-4 touches of the ball..

4-6 wouldn't be a bad score!

Jfc... Why
