I quite enjoy pictures of Arse fans melting down and as for the pictures of Arsene looking like a ferret that's tried to eat one of those Scotch Bonnet chilli peppers - excellent.

But the best one of all was the ball flying from Cabaye's foot and sailing past the Arsenal keeper into the net followed by a look on Giroud's face that made clear that they knew they were goosed.

What did you expect? People are much more interested in Arsenal's troubles.

I do think they should have had a big chat with Ranieri on a separate programme though; was a bit odd hearing so much about everything except the game that evening.

says it all.

at about 80 mins gone, there were several streams of people walking out of the Arthur too, I doubt any Palace fan , traffic or not, would have left that match early last night, so great to see that the segregation is working.

I listened to the post match chat this morning and I thought Ranieri was very complimentary about us. He mentioned passion, playing for each other, prepared to fight for each other, our shape, our quality etc. etc. etc. His English is limited but he gave us a lot of credit.

I actually enjoyed listening to Ranieri and thought he was complimentary about Palace. To paraphrase one thing he said ... "we were a team drowning but are now swimming".

We all know how good we were last night.
The media only want to write headline news about big teams. Write about the demise of big name managers and have an agenda against smaller clubs doing well. In essence they are snobs.
BBC's opening gambit on Radio Five yesterday afternoon was "if (meaning when) Arsenal beat Palace tonight they will be 4th in the league".
For them it was a given. Their coverage of Palace and other "lower league" clubs on MOTD is simply biased and often rude. Their pundits like AS dislike us and other teams that orbit around us. Sky are on a par. The only truth is to go the matches week in and week out and judge for oneself. Nothing beats live football. If no one wants to report on us in England then so be it, but we were a top sporting news story on German ZDF TV when we beat Chelsea. I was there that weekend watching the coverage. Our sporting media is not the whole World. Luvvies at the Beeb love them selves so much that soon they may well vanish up their own rectums. It's annoying, frustrating and very irritating but MOTD and the likes on Sky UK are thankfully not the entire sporting Universe.
