City deserved it, like us tomorrow we cannot do what Newcastle did tonight and lose this in the margin they did, the second leg for City now becomes easy.

I will be furious if we swap shirts with Arsenal before the game kicks off, and I mean lay on our backs and have our bellies tickled.

Arsenal and Citeh have INSANE depth

it is just madness how deep they can go even with a lot of injuries

Think also its helped for Arsenal keeping Arteta...had a few wobbles and all but hes been able to build up his squad. Same with Pep. Obs they have money but its still realising your weaknesses and all..

Didnt think be sitting 18 behind Arsenal with 21 games played but hey ho times have changed

They spent 5 minutes looking at it and then sent the ref to the screen

Howard Webb needs to speak out and call an emergency meeting of officials, something has to change and quickly, we cannot continue like this it is nothing short of shambolic.

Manager Oliver Glasner to leave Crystal Palace

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/584316/manager-oliver-glasner-to-leave-crystal-palace

Oliver Glasner on Friday said he will leave Crystal Palace after his contract expires at the end of the season, with the Austrian manager adding that the English Premier League club's captain Marc Guehi is also set to depart.

Glasner guided Palace to victory in the FA Cup last season, the first major trophy of their 164-year-old history, as well as the Community Shield in August.

The 51-year-old's success at Palace has made him a key target for other clubs and he has been linked with the top job at Manchester United.

"A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve (Parish) in October, the international break," Glasner told reporters.

"We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract. We agreed at the time it was the best to keep it between us. It's the best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months...

"I haven't spoken to any other club, I told the players that and promised them today I will give my best to give the best season in Crystal Palace history, the best points tally in history."

Palace are 13th in the league standings with 28 points from 21 matches and have qualified for the Conference League knockout round's playoffs.

"We are now four points better off than we were at this stage of the season and we will do everything to bring another trophy back to Selhurst Park," Glasner said.

"We had the Conference League draw today, we will play Zrinjski Mostar from Bosnia in the playoff draw and I had a look at the draw tree, it'll be quite interesting who we could play in our section."

Guehi deal in final stages

Palace travel to Sunderland on Saturday, where Glasner will not be able to call upon defender Guehi.

The 25-year-old was linked with a move to Manchester City earlier on Friday, with British media reporting that a deal had been agreed in principle.

Asked about Guehi's future, Glasner said: "I can't confirm the club because it is not done but is in the final stages and the result is Marc doesn't play tomorrow for us."

England international Guehi is out of contract at the end of the season. He was due to join Premier League champions Liverpool for a reported fee of 35 million pounds (NZD$81.4 million) last year before the deal fell through.

Guehi's acquisition will bolster City manager Pep Guardiola's options at the back, following injuries to defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias this month.
