It's ok Ryan Bennett just let the ball drift past you ffs

Huge for Leicester that win. Norwich, Aston Villa & Sunderland lose. Bournemouth draw. Good weekend for the Toon, without playing.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 27 Feb 2016, 10:30 pm

Fantastic by Leciester, the fairytale continues! Fantastic cross by Albrighton, former Brighton star Ulloa they're to continue this amazing season!

Norwich deserve a lot of credit for today though. Decent game.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 27 Feb 2016, 10:45 pm

Always lovely when palace lose and don't get simple decisions given there way.

It really wasn't very good - poor quality all round, only piece of quality won the game

I'm resigned to our relegation now

It could be that Leicester's success this season is their refusal to buy into the possession-equals-penetration trap that so many other sides have fallen into.
Leicester work hard, defend in depth and break quickly. At Tottenham a few weeks ago, for instance, the Midlanders were happy to allow Spurs bags of possession, practically surrendering the midfield. They even allowed Tottenham space down the flanks, but crowded the goalmouth.
Playing like this Leicester could find their away games from now on easier than the home ones, which only goes to emphasise how important that late goal was yesterday.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 1:27 pm

I didn't think what we did yesterday was the way to beat them but it is - you basically just do to them what they do to others. If we weren't Norwich we'd have won comfortably

Sir Fred - I was talking to a Palace supporter this week who said they've been at their most successful this season when playing in a very similar way. They've adopted this approach particularly for away games where their record, despite yesterday's defeat and recent wobbles, remains better than that at home. He was well pleased for the Eagles to be against Reading in the next round of the FA Cup and for this reason probably more relaxed that they were drawn as the away side.

Excellent decision by Pawson. Remarkable judgement.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:36 pm

RASHFORD!

Is he English? If so fantastic to see another young English striker given ago and taking his chance! (Admittedly United don't have a choice atm!)

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:37 pm

This is insane

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:38 pm

Who is this lad?

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:38 pm

Again!!

This is Brilliant. I love football

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:38 pm

Rashford making a last dash for the Euro squad? Whistle

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:43 pm

Potentially. Kane, Vardy and Rooney are the 100%. 1 more spot up for grabs.

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:44 pm

Wow, where has this kid been hiding?

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:45 pm

Wellbeck!

Another English striker. This is very enjoyable

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:46 pm

That is absolutely terrible from United, you should never concede from a straight free kick like that.

Giving away free goals undoing hard work.

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:46 pm

It was sarcasm. Poor Rashford is now going to be hyped up to within an inch of his life, just like Macheda and Januzai.

Welbeck!

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:48 pm

Like that one season wonder Harry Kane?

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:52 pm

The exception, not the rule.

For every Harry Kane, there's a multitude of the likes of SWP/Richardson/Bentley/Jeffers etc.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 2:57 pm

Arsenal need to get Giroud on for the useless Walcott

Welbeck!

He'll be dished out on a free transfer to Blackburn in three years

Great header tho

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:00 pm

Rashford and Varela are highlighting how much Van Gaal must be stunting the team, new players come into the team and make an immediate impact only to regress as they are forced to conform with the mundane approach.

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:03 pm

Leave Theo alone (maybe shift him out wide?).

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:08 pm

Walcott has been non existent duty - arsenal could do with giroud to get on the end of a cross (not like Carrick/blind are physical)

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:13 pm

Walcott is the most over rated player in this league. Ill be buzzing if Roy doesn't take him to France.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:13 pm

I know he scored, but other than Welbeck has been beyond woeful - he can't pass!

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:15 pm

Walcott's gone wide.

Certainly a 9/10.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:25 pm

That sub should've happened fifteen minutes ago

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:28 pm

No choke like the Arsenal choke

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:28 pm

Two deflections and one hell of a header.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:29 pm

Arsenal...this is so Arsenal. And is why Wenger should be thinking of going

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:31 pm

Is it a choke when you just aren't good enough?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:32 pm

Good enough to beat this Man United side though...you'd think

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:32 pm

3-2. Come on Arsenal.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:32 pm

Ozil's alive

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:32 pm

Give away another stupid goal.

Encouraging arsenal when they are ready to go.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:34 pm

Good refereeing, not a red card but yellow for the silliness

by Duty281 Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:34 pm

Ah a bit of needle. Just like the old days. Well done Ramsey.

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:40 pm

Refs been awful but that wasn't a red.

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:41 pm

Mensah is a bomb scare, afraid every time the balls near him.

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:51 pm

Told you!! Absolute liability.

by Ent Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:58 pm

Yeo good win, should have been more comfortable.

Embarassing from arsenal.

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 28 Feb 2016, 3:59 pm

What a win for the youngsters, the Arsenal implosion starts here.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Feb 2016, 4:00 pm

What a game!

Tottenham 2-1 Swansea.

What a premiership season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 28 Feb 2016, 4:02 pm

Never ever seen a team who so consistently chokes like arsenal - it's on a platter for them this season, and they're just throwing it away

by Hammersmith harrier Sun 28 Feb 2016, 4:04 pm

They could still go on to win it but Wenger has to take the blame for this, very few of their players have been in this position before so it must be something the management and coaching team are doing.
