Arsenal's French manager Arsene Wenger (R) and assistant Steve Bould gesture in their seats during the English Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal at Selhurst Park in south London on April 10, 2017.
John Cross of The Mirror believes that there is a 95 percent chance that Arsene Wenger will sign a new two-year deal to stay at Arsenal. I have managed over 1,000 games for Arsenal and we are not used to lose like that. After such a long time, to see that we've lost a game the way we've lost it is of course very disappointing.
Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye and a Luka Milivojevic penalty secured a priceless three points for the hosts and all but destroyed Arsenal's hopes of yet another top four finish.
The Gunners are in serious danger of missing out on the Champions League places following the Palace defeat and it means they are seven points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, with a game in hand.
"We faced a team who played very deep, went for a game that was very direct, and we lost many direct duels and many second balls because they were sharper than us and more decisive", the Arsenal boss admitted. "That's the most hard thing for us tonight". Should they unexpectedly win that match, a final against Chelsea or Tottenham would await and an opportunity to end the season on the high of Wenger winning an all-time record seventh FA Cup.
Trump Signs Bill Letting States Deny Federal Funds to Abortion Providers
But the law only allows states to redirect funds from abortion providing groups, it does not force them to do so. Trump's action erases a rule that was finalized shortly before President Barack Obama left office in January.
Solid defensive performances from Palace's back four and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey gave the home side their fourth clean sheet in six games. "It hurts me to say that because I like Arsene Wenger".
"I face it in every press conference at the moment but tonight I'm not in the mood to speak about it", he told the BBC.
Even when Bellerin and co. went over to the away end to applaud them for their support and to apologise for their display, they were roundly booed. "We had four wins on the trot, then a loss [to Southampton] and another win, and it shows how hard it is to get away". What counts is how we perform on the pitch.
"We won a lot of possession off them and created lots of chances".
