It was quite an entertaining game . 2 great goals be Pepe.
Once we scored the first we were in control until Palace got back into it.
2 of their players should have been sent off . Benteke for hitting Elneny in the face. Also that other bloke for kicking Tierney. Had that been the other way round the Arsenal players would have been sent off. Wasnt Auba sent off for something similar a couple of seasons ago
Good finish from Martinelli, Great ball from Odegaard
Who wants to be in the Europa Conference League ?
We have Brighton on Sunday
Everton are away to Man City
Tottenham away to Leicester
1 point between 7th and 9th
What say you ?
Crystal Palace 1 Arsenal 3

Not fussed about the ECL but would be hilarious to finish above Spurs

I wouldn't mind the ECL, it's more football to watch and more chances of a trophy.

Before the games last night I hoped that by a miracle of fate we might have got 6th, oh well!!!

A good win for sure. Pepe...I wish we had seen more of him this season. He should have been getting a consistent run but alas...Arteta thought Willian was the answer. Pepe...even after very good performances would get benched. Infuriating. He is not worth 72 mill (it is obvious we were robbed) but he has good stats and if we had spent 40 million, we'd all be happy.
Always happy to see Martinelli score.
The Auba conundrum...I hope it gets sorted in pre season. Looks like we are stuck with Arteta.
Just think...beat Burnley and fulham at home and we'd we comfortably in the European places. And yes...I know every team can say that but 7 losses at home is not the norm for Arsenal. Turn 2 of those into wins and season looks slightly better

Agree about Pepe this season, each time he hit some decent form he was dropped for some reason. We need to bin Willian and play Pepe consistently next season, yes he’s not world class which you may expect for 72m, but he’s shown he can be a very useful player when in form.
Conference league does sound pretty hideous, but I’m not too bothered either way. If we qualify I hope we just play youth and fringe players, it could be useful to have a competition we don’t care about give youngsters a chance, Europa was a great opportunity to give our current crop of breakthrough youngsters a chance, so it’d be a shame to have no competition for that this year. But don’t want us playing first team, next season has to be all about finishing as high in the table as possible

The last game of the season sounds like the battle to avoid 7th place

All 3 teams will drop points most likely
Ideal situation is Everton finish 7th and we celebrate totteringham’s day
