Urgh the break!!quite like Palace.Need to keep it up do what have been,no horrible surprises

[zolayes 14,489]

could be tougher than today

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Reckon they'd get a few shots on target

[Ledg 638]

Last year we battered Arsenal at home and the next fixture was against Palace away and we all know what happened. Hope for a different result this time and 3 points. That's all.

Team is obvious same as today with maybe Willian instead of Schurrle and Luis instead of Dave. Also depends on fitness of Courtois and other players on international. If we play attacking football we can easily destroy them 3/4-0.

WILL be tougher than today. Specially with watnock crying for everything.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Neymar, Messi, inesta- We could have our hands full for this one.

[Special Juan 27,429]

That fucking horrible International break……..Piss off!!

Oh yeah the game………0-3 us.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Hard One...

[Special Juan 27,429]

Hard One...

Leave that for the bedroom

I hate us playing teams like Palace after the international break because their players have two weeks to rest and fully prepare for the match while ours return exhausted and barely get a training session or two before it.

Eden: 10 Oct and 13 Oct.

Brazilian NT plays on the 11 Oct and 14 Oct, but they're friendlies, so our lads are unlikely to play 90 minutes.

At least Spain NT plays on the 9 Oct and 12 Oct, so our Spanish lads will have 6 days of rest. Since Iniesta is called up this time, is it too much to hope for Cesc to be benched? Though it's probably very unlikely. Can see Del Bosque using Cesc-Busquets-Iniesta in both games and dropping Koke to the bench. Costa will probably play at least 70 minutes in both games.

If I was the Spanish coach I would want my VERY BEST striker ,,,,,,,,,,, So Torres would play BOTH games

Anyone with a gif of wenger pushing Mourinho?

[Laylabelle 9,359]

I hate the international break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fingers crossed no injuries

[iseah100 5,612]

Tough game, we handled Swansea easily after the break, hopefully we can do it again.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I love the international break this time. Think I might knocked my head yesterday

Anyway, 13 days of recovery for Courtois, Drogba and Ramires

Get well soon for all of them, and hope no more injury.
