Normal service has resumed in the Goonerverse after Arsenal lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday.

The players have gone mute on social media and Arsene Wenger is back to looking dejected when he meets with the press.

After the loss to Palace, Wenger urged fans to get behind the team, despite the players looking as if they wanted to be anywhere else but on that pitch.

Ahead of the Gunners’ trip to Middlesbrough this coming Monday, Wenger looked a bit chirpier. The Frenchman even managed a cheeky smile when he was asked about Alexis Sanchez allegedly being offered a £300kpw contract by the club.
