We usually lose quite comfortably against Arsenal anyway don't we? That's probably the game I least look forward to all season.
![]() I enjoyed the first half last night. Not so much the second. I really hope Liverpool get knocked out in the next round. |

A bigger concern right now is our poor home form this season. Played 14 at home in all competitions so far and only won 3 of them. We really need to rectify that especially with QPR, West Brom, Hull, and Swansea all still to visit Selhurst in the League.

If you didn't yet know the home game against QPR on Saturday, 14th March is now a 12.45pm kick-off as it's live on BT Sport.
And the home game against Man City has been moved to Monday, 6th April, kick-off 8pm, for live coverage on Sky Sports. |

we should just forfeit the 3 points when we play Arsenal and we can all have a day off. doesn't matter how average or bad they are or how good we may be, nothing ever goes our way against them.

That is a mugging of a first half. How arsenal go in 2 up I have no idea. At times we've bossed the game yet it's a lost cause already. Football just isn't fair sometimes.

1-2 full time.
a manic end. Murray scores 4 mins in to injury time then a minute later hits the post!! but as usual against Arsenal it's a defeat. |

God that finish! How close can you get to a draw?
We played bloody well today, really frustrating that a couple of mistakes (and a lack of cutting edge in attack) cost us. |

Yeah, a good performance, but we gifted them their two goals and they never really had to get out of second gear because of that.
We attacked with intent and purpose but our failings in the 18 yard box were again there for everyone to see. 75 minutes to get a shot on target at home is not good enough. It was encouraging and if we become more clinical in front of goal we will definitely pick up the points needed for survival. |

I absolutely love Zaha, I promise you nobody was happier than me when we re signed him BUT will someone please teach him when and how to cross the ball. His build up play can be awesome but the final delivery is just not there yet.
So frustrated with today, we deserved the draw. Now I know how Leicester fans felt the other week against us. |

Zaha's final delivery is not only frustrating at times but as Tusk says above, he just won't shoot! Although in fairness to him that could have been said for most today.

the performance yesterday deserved something from the game but we were really shot-shy for ages...
despite the mistake i like souare and i think he will be a big plus for us... mutch had a more composed game but the sooner we have jedi and mcarthur back in midfield the better imo... not sure what we do up front... got to be honest i wouldn't be fussed if i didn't see campbell in a palace shirt again... i reckon murray should be playing more but then what to do with chamakh & gayle? also, i thought it was harsh that hangeland was dropped for delaney... |

I wouldn't mind seeing Murray & Gayle given a chance up front with Punch & Zaha out wide (Bolasie to come on later) and Jedi with McArthur as the central midfield pairing.

That was annoyingly not surprising, at time we looked really good, but, I don't know,. We really need to concentrate on not conceding. It is mainly from set pieces atm. Constantly changing the back 4 hasn't helped (obviously injury is no ones fault) so fingers crossed, stay up and concentrate on making a solid back 4.

so who do we all think should be our settled back 4 for the run in (barring injuries) or maybe back 5 as we'll include the keeper as there are some that would like to see hennessey ahead of jules...
mine would be speroni, ward, dann, hangeland, souare. |

That's an attacking team. Really hope Murray grabs his chance today.
Come on you Palace. |

Great to see Jedi back.
I'm going to assume that McArthur isn't quite ready yet for a start hence Mutch retaining his place, although you could say that's harsh on Ledley. |

Mutch is a good squad player but when all are fit he should be 4th choice behind McJedley.

someone needs to remind Punch that we are playing in yellow.
