Arsenal staring at the Europa League


CRYSTAL PALACE 3 ARSENAL 0

You know things are bad when even the fans can't make a decent banner

Arsenal conceded 3 or more goals in 4 consecutive away matches for the first time since 1929.

The Palace fans cheering every pass against Arsenal was simply priceless, how many times has that happened! I thought there would be Over 2.5 goals in the game, I didn't expect them to all come from Crystal Palace with Spurs old boy Andros Townsend netting the first.

Some of the Arsenal players simply gave up. They normally fight to the last and have a great mentality, but that was totally missing. If anyone was unsure that Tottenham have taken over the mantle in North London just look at that performance and the Premier League table.

Seven points behind Manchester City and staring the UEFA Europa League in the face. If that happens then players will simply not want to join Arsenal, they will look elsewhere and the likes of Sanchez certainly will not stay at the club.

Lose your best players and be unable to sign top talent is a double whammy that could see Arsenal go backwards not forwards.

We have had to take years of stick from up the road so it is a pleasure to see what is happening them there.
