What has Matthew Penistone done, aside from having an incredible surname, to seemingly deserve a place on every BBC live text? Seriously, he's there every week!

 

[Stewy]

Been a really good game to watch as a neutral to be honest, some of Arsenal's football has been fantastic and you'd have to assume a match fit Sanchez would have scored twice.

 

[toshj]

he wasn't even outstretched

Probably realised he was getting nowhere near it!

 

[BaZ87]

Coquelin should have been off just then.

 

[robfosters]

Ozil is awful. £42m, what a waste.

What match have you been watching?

 

[Rids]

Ozil is awful. £42m, what a waste.

He has created more chances than anybody else on the pitch?!

 

[The_One]

Sanchez is back

*EDIT* OG

 

[Rids]

Need to get Le Coq off I think.

 

[The_One]

Coq is lucky!!!

Sub him wenger!

 

[grimm]

Crap refereeing really, Coquelin should have been off twice nice.

 

[MacMiniBoy]

the ref is a wenger boy

 

[nemtizz]

Vile from Ozil.

 

[Rids]

Ramsey has left his shooting boots at home today.

 

[manic111]

the ref is a wenger boy

Is he going to Ibiza?

 

[omnomnom]

Is he going to Ibiza?

Lucky day for arsenal

 

[Trusty]

Good win away at Palace, decent match, lots of good football. Giroud showing his good footballing brain again, great technique for a big guy. Like a Bergkamp on roids. On to Liverpool at home, big game!

 

[sigma]

Let's hope City tear Chels a new one

Lucky day for arsenal

Very, own goal to win when frankly Sanchez jumped in at speed putting two hands into the back of the player he won the header against... could easily and maybe should have been given as a foul. Had the player gone down maybe more likely to have been.

Coquelin could/should have been off in the first half then gave away two more fouls either of which could/should have been a second yellow.

Ox useless once again, he runs around a lot but does so so little. One great shot against Chelsea doesn't make up for the ridiculous lack of end product from all his running. At one point Palace created a chance because a loose ball went past him less than 5 yards away and he entirely ignored it letting them regain possession 15 yards outside our box. He's got pace but almost nothing else to his game.

Wickham... don't think I'll ever understand why Palace went for him, why they spent so much on him, why they started him. Appears to be an entirely useless 'player'.
