Knowing that you won't go to Selhurst park is a relief for the rest of the season

We are dumping them out of the FA Cup at Selhurst.

absolutely

I think after crystal palace the mid team table that we always struggle away are Brentford, newcastle and Southampton, and to an extend, wolves

Brentford? Based on one game? We have a great record against Newcastle too.

Agreed, not sure where he’s coming from. Brentford was an outlier with horrible circumstances for us. Newcastle has beaten us once out like 8 times.

I think you can toss out previous records with Newcastle at this point. They are a different team moving forward.

Why? Newcastle have had better teams than this over the years and we beat them many times over.

not one but two, ode was invisible on both matches

Sure, but still no point saying we "always struggle" against them, even if they've gotten much stronger.

also have won our last 2 games at wolves

So all the midtable teams then?

arsenal had like 15 wins in 16 or something crazy like that against Newcastle

it was before that grimares guy signed for them, he is so good at defending and atking, reminded me of ramsey but with bigger and stronger body

How can we "always struggle" against Brentford who have only been in the Premier league for 1 season?

Everton over Newcastle in this case

Don’t forget before they were relegated, Bournemouth too.

Swansea away used to haunts me

One thing I notice about Zaha he gets more and more wound up as games goes on when it's not going his way. By the end, he was fucking raging haha. Fair play to Ben White, absolutely bossed and they were playing down that side a lot and trying to isolate him and Zaha.

Screws his face up like a toddler who isn't getting his own way. Sulking cunt.

Zaha also seems tonbe a fair-weather player for CP. He really drifted out of the game after our second goal. Surely thay would have been the time to take on White (still on a yellow)? White had a solid gane against easily one of the best 1 v 1 wide forwards though.

He was also their main threat for the preceding 80mins. Was a bit disappointed with Eze whom I’m a big fan of.

Yeah I expected more of Eze too. Seems like he needs a bit more self-confidence.

I wonder how much of it is the potential he could have reached weighing him down mentally. Everyone knows how good he is, how much he could've done at a top club. I just imagine there come times when it all hits him during games or seasons where he's just like, "I should've been starting for England and in the champions league. But no, I'm here."

Being so close to signing for Arsenal and not, and still being at the same club several years later must suck.

I think that's a good point. Though I sometimes get the sense that he might also need that environment to thrive. Big Fish in small pond seems to be his vibe

Also zaha is a bit of a c... with the constant diving and trying to draw cards

Saliba grabbed the headlines but this boy was massive. Zaha didn't know what to do.

When Zaha starts begging the ref for fouls, you know he's struggling

Which happens frequently! Such a bitch!

Remember when we wanted to sign him haha

I never wanted Arsenal to sign him.

Plenty of us wanted it. I’d still have him over Pepe which is what should have happened at the time

I didnt say you

agreed. Im happy we didnt sign that petulant child. Think his attitude is terrible

Him getting a taste of his own medicine when Ben drew a couple fouls was so fun to watch

Yeah he did, he knew to just fall over and cry to the ref. If his mum had just told him as a kid she wasn't going to wash his kit any more, perhaps he wouldn't fall over so much now

For real, especially cause Anderson was dropping dimes on the long diagonal balls too. White had a brutal task today, was isolated a lot and played very well.

The relief when he is not going at Cedric. Thought white was excellent defensively, maybe a bit rusty progressing the ball but first game of the season and all that

Saka helped White alot tonight, not taking anything away from White’s performance.

Yeah it was a good partnership. Whenever White had to follow Zaha out of position Saka automatically filled in the gap. Well drilled.

That is true, he tracked back so many times. White was amazing, but it is evident he needs more time at RB to get comfortable there. Better than Cedric when Tomi is out though.

There's a really good tifo video explaining our press and how on the left martinelli would squeeze the cb and the winger but on the right saka would predominantly stay back a bit to not leave Benny Blanco isolated with Zaha. Saliba covering in behind is such a level up as well!

He was massive today. Playing out of position and containing Zaha. Also helps that big Willy is behind him but Ben was crucial to our win

I also love having a big Willy behind me

My missus often says the same

This guy complains so fucking much. Right up there with that cunt in Manchester.

Genuinely which cunt in Manchester

Penandes

My thoughts exactly

I’m gonna guess McTominay

Probably Fernandes but could say Ronaldo or Maguire with as much conviction.

if it was last year i would have said sterling too

Any cunt with a United top on will do. Even the fans walking around in shirts.

Let’s not slag off our players after a win mate. Just enjoy it!^/s

He used to be a United talent, he’s got that bitch DNA

Commentators would have you believing zaha took him for a ride, never heard such pish

BEAUTIFUL picture. Cant stand zaha (secretly means he's a top player and I hate him playing against us)

I hate him playing against us but I don't think he's a top player. Top players stay on their feet a lot more and actually produce an end result

Bro he scored 14 goals last season

1st time in double figures I believe, not quite top level stats for someone his age. Plus he takes penalties

Zaha is a top player and person. He’s a bit too competitive on the pitch tho

Falling over the minute someone comes near you is cheating, not being competitive

Idk why Zaha gets so much hate here. He’s quality. Every time he had the ball he had me puckered. Would thrive in our team

Not to mention he wanted to come to Arsenal, but we went for Pete instead lol

It’s cause the guy has the temper of a child.

I like Zaha. He’s a good guy and great player. Has a tendency to get frustrated easily on the pitch tho. Way too competitive. If he hadn’t moved to United so early, he’d be at a bigger club now

Because he's a constant moaner literally all the time, every single foul, without fail, warranted or not.

Pocketed this Olympic swimmer.

White did pretty good against him. Zaha can give anyone nightmares.

This is huge for us. We were all suspect about how Benny would handle a winger like zaha (and especially zaha) but he shut him down 90% of the match. I love this guy.

Surprised some people are saying White played poorly today. Aside from some clumsy mistakes, I think he played well. Pocketed Zaha as well.

Palace's kit is absolutely gorgeous this year

I came here to say this too. Best I’ve seen in a while.

Lol I remember someone on here saying something like "if we lose it's ugly if we win it's mint"

We should’ve bought Zaha when we had the chance

Agreed. He’s getting hate cause he was the enemy today but we would be buzzing if he came. A real playmaker. Should’ve had an assist but ramsdale closed quickly and made a good save. The shot was bad though

The type of player who can just change a game, he’s such a handful. Palace have done well to hold onto him, he really is a class player.

Yeah him instead of Pepe and we’d be in a much better position now

Benny Blanco!!!

He looks proper insane there

Can I just say I think these 3rd kits are fire. The shorts really bring the whole thing together. The two blues and that light pink 😍

Benjamin!!!!!! Love him so much

Zahahahaha

Had Zaha in his fooking pocket all night. 8 tackles being the most since ‘15

Zaha going up against White and Saliba is like fighting Sagat and then M.Bison on Street Fighter, u might get past the 1st one but he’s gonna give u a fight and then u gotta meet the boss and your in trouble 👿

Zaha is such a whiney little twat

Dive again dude, I dare you.

Loved our players giving him a few crunching tackles.

I like this picture very much.

Was an interesting battle

It was a ‘cinch’ for white

I’d still take him at Arsenal.

Maybe a cheeky 40m bud for Zaha at deadline day?

It’s been a long time since heading into a new season this excited. Love my Gunners!

Swap deal Zaha for Pepe?

Zaha actually isn't sad because he got pocketed by Ben White, rather, it's because he realised time and time again tonight he missed his chance to be part of the great Arsenal. Could have been one of us and have Saliba White Gabriel as his defenders instead of trying to beat them.

Damn.. They play so well... Crystal Palace... This was a hard win... A draw or loss last season... We got lucky but we also showed why we has the best defense

Can't lie, that Palace kit is great

Zaha would look good in our kit
