Twitter trolls Arsenal after another shocking defeat against Crystal Palace

Arsenal players are dejected after the loss against Crystal Palace

Arsenal’s season continues to go from bad to worse as they suffered a 3-0 away defeat to relegation-threatened Crystal Palace, which severely dented top 4 hopes for Arsene Wenger’s side. Sam Allardyce’s 16^th placed side now find themselves 6 points clear of the relegation zone and despite their cruel fixture list, the Eagles are more than certain to escape relegation.

Andros Townsend opened the scoring for the home side in the 17^th minute, tapping home from close range before Yohan Cabaye doubled the lead in the 63^rd minute, beating Martinez with a looping shot despite being off balance. Luka Milivojevic completed the rout for the Eagles as he buried the spot-kick after Palace were awarded a penalty for a foul on Townsend.

The loss meant that Arsenal have lost 4 consecutive away games for the firs time under Arsene Wenger. It also meant that the Gunners have won only 4 games – two out of which came against non-league opposition – since the start of February.

Twitter, as you would expect, didn’t hold back as Arsenal were trolled for staying at 6^th position and dropping another crucial 3 points. Here are the best tweets:

OUCH, what a record!

Arsenal concede three goals in four consecutive away league games for the first time in 88 years (Sep 1929)

Arsenal are closer to Crystal Palace in 16th place (20 points), than they are to leaders Chelsea (21 points).

What shambles Arsenal have been...

On the 11th December Arsenal were three points behind Chelsea. Tonight (15 games later) they are 21 adrift.

Can't even say I'm surprised any more. Shambles.

Oh captain, my captain!

Tony Adams use to captain Arsenal, now Theo Walcott does, I'll just leave that one with you

The contrast state of affairs of the two arch-rivals

I've never seen Tottenham perform so well in my life and I've never seen Arsenal perform so badly in my life. This is just beautiful.

Europa League is fun, isn’t it Manchester United fans?

When Arsene Wenger said he was the man to take Arsenal to the next level I never knew he meant the Europa League...

And some Piers Morgan

This Arsenal team's the most gutless shower Wenger's ever fielded. I'd clear most of them out, along with the manager. #afc

Arsenal fans refusing to give the ball back to their own team for a throw in. "You're not fit to wear the shirt." Ouch.

Jamie Carragher hasn't been this enraged about Arsenal since he lobbed a Pound coin back at their fans 15 years ago!

End of Arsen(e)al?

Proof here tonight at Selhurst Park Arsenal can't give Arsene Wenger another contract. He's been amazing. But it's gone now, time for change
— John Cross (@johncrossmirror) April 10, 2017

Not only is there no justification for a new deal, there’s a good case to be made that Arsene should go now.

Bayern will finish 3rd in their CL group next season just so they can play Arsenal in the Europa League second round.
— Latorre Slake Soler (@Cerebrone) April 10, 2017

Whatever it is that worries Arsenal's board about Life After Wenger, the alternative is far more terrifying. New deal would be huge mistake
— Oliver Kay (@OliverKayTimes) April 10, 2017

Some Arsenal fans are still humorous!

I think we might just be out of the title race now.
— FK³ (@fkhanage) April 10, 2017

Fans signing you're not fit to wear the shirt? Have you seen how tight they are? Nobody's fit enough to wear those. Smh.
— Former football fan (@gunnerpunner) April 10, 2017

It's ok. I've done the maths and Arsenal can't be relegated.
— GoonerSoph (@GoonerSoph) April 11, 2017

Perspective, may be?

Arsenal have just one point fewer than they had after 30 PL matches last season.
