Yep, I've always felt they're a side that teams fail to take their chances against. Mind you, we've been quite lucky in that regard this season as well
Other than Brighton away which was mental in how many chances they missed, what other games this season have the opposition missed loads of chances against us?

Surely there's some random South American striker that a team like Palace could sign on the cheap that is better than Benteke

Leeds and Villa but to be fair we missed more big chances than them in both games. Probably more games than that but in general we have been far more guilty of missing chances than the opposition has against us. Leicester game for instance we absolutely should have won.

Now that I think about it it's literally just Brighton and West Ham. I was wrong. Rival fans are infecting my brain

Jordan Ayew always seems to score against us. Which means he'll do absolutely feck all against Arsenal.

I forgot about West Ham to be fair, we were lucky there.

But yeah in general I don't think we've gotten away with too much in terms of opposition getting chances. Don't really recall De Gea making too many wonder saves or any horror misses against us.

Yeah Leeds missed a few crazy chances but we could've stuck 10 past them so not that bothered

This game is getting called really boring online but I don't think it's been that bad.

Maybe the Wolves, Watford and Burnley games in the last 2 weeks have lowered the bar for me for what I find entertaining.

Zaha has found his level at Palace. He's not that good a player to be at a bigger club

The commentator just mentioned Palace have beaten 'the leaders' of the league, and I thought '7-0 wasn't it? Oh yeah...' :wenger:

Crap game. Arsenal are average at best.

Should be said that the "great" recent Arsenal revival was based around beating

A Chelsea side in freefall, 1 win in 6 and 4 defeats.
Brighton
West Brom
Newcastle after extra time.

Those last 3 teams are along with Sheff Utd the worst teams in the League.

Arsenal are proper proper shit.

Fair play to the ref for blowing the whistle early. Wish he did it two hours earlier.

Used to be able to rely on Arsenal putting on an entertaining show at home to these bottom half sides

Still can't believe this shite midtable team beat us. They are 12 points behind us having played a game more. And Crystal Palace are shite too.
