    I would have started Rosicky over Ox.

    Hopefully we are 2 or 3 up by 60 minutes and Zelalem can get a pressure free run out.

    Would have preferred Gibbs but oh well. Still a strong side.

    I would of gone for Gibbs and Rosicky but its still a strong team and i'm confident we can get the 3 points.

    Interesting that the MOTD pundits on the BBC live reporting are saying they think Palace will get a draw with Savage saying we might just nick it. Whilst all our fans are expecting apretty comfortable win. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

    They've improved defensively a lot but i still think our attack will have too much for them, particularly when you look at the attacking team we are playing.

    I'm expecting Palace to put men behind the ball and make it difficult it for us to score. Could be another afternoon like the Cardiff game.

    Why does Wenger smirk his way through interviews these days? Looks bizarre, like he is party to a private joke with the interviewer.

    Ozil is looking bright in this game already. Palace are sitting pretty deep. Chamakh will look to press Arteta.

    I don't like when Podolski comes too far back for the ball as he tends to remain too static afterwards. He seems too impatient to seek positions off the ball.

    You know I don't agree with almost anything the Black Scarf movement does, but you've got to admit the aggressive stewarding of the home fans at the Emirates is an issue.

    An away team shouldn't be able to dominate the atmosphere like this, there is no home advantage this way.

    We're low on confidence at the wrong time of the Season.

    Its essential to our Season we win this game.

    My God that was terrible, this has sadly become the norm, our first half performances have been dreadful. If we show up at Liverpool next week and put in a first half like we've been doing over the past few weeks, we're going to get our asses handed to us.

    Not much threat from us at the moment but crystal palace isn't doing much either. Is it me but I fancy a Bendtner sub to change things around a bit.
