    Did say that at the time. Can’t gloss over a point against a side that generally battles relegation.

    Worse than dropping points, it was such a passive performance. Liverpool have shown how to deal with the likes of Palace.

    Guaita was MOTM in our game with Palace, despite his glaring error for our goal. He saved one shot today.
    I didn't watch it, so I can't comment on performances, but people are getting very worked up about a result against an erratic team.

    Yes, Cp were on top of their game last week. This week they were rubbish. It cannot be the calibre of the teams that caused them to be erratic.

    I think they treated Spurs as a "London Derby" whereas they probably were resigned to losing against Liverpool. Thus their mentality changed between playing with Spurs and Liverpool.

    No card. VAR says that's fine too, apparently. Very consistent. <ok>

    Specifically, our performance

    We're simply not capable of sitting on a 1-0 lead for 60+ minutes (or a 3-0 lead, apparently...) because we can't deal with set pieces, which is a problem when there's a decent chance we'll concede a set piece in a difficult area due to a combination of having the RB in a free role meaning they're out of position and the CM covering them not being the most reliable defensively

    And that's the issue: the RB could be Aurier or Doherty, and the CM could be Sissoko or Lo Celso or Winks, yet the results are the same either way

    I'm cheering on Newcastle tonight. Don't want to lose the NLD next season.

    One pt per game is relegation form.
    With a squad that has been light years from ever being in such a scrap.

    I bet Arteta is pleased that London is in Tier 4, l'arse can't get a new manager in for at least 14 days.

    Looks like the only NLDs we'll be playing next season is if we get each other in a domestic cup tie.

    Charlton might get promoted. You can have your proper derby back. <ok>

    If we weren't around, you'd have no-one in the vicinity of north London to hate. You need us!

    We can hate Chelsea. We do hate Chelsea. We can also hate you from another division.

    We're the most hated club in London mate so we won't be short of options! <laugh>

    You ain't going down though so don't worry.

    Also, there's a pretty decent selection of unlikable teams wearing red in the Premier League regardless...
