They would have been a little bit worried coming into this game today.

But to respond like this with such a convincing win against your North London rivals, such a big game.

And even despite the fact that Declan Rice made that mistake leading up to the Colmawanny goal, Arteta couldn't have asked for a better response for this.

And I'd say he'd be feeling a lot more confident now going into that Chelsea game.

Yeah, they might have taken Guardiola's, Daiquiri's and Caprini's line maybe as motivation last night, as if to say he was laughing at them.

Here's another one, Brian, just quickly on Spurs.

Colin Moane, probably the only slight highlight for them, or Bryce Burstyn from today's game, and then next week they play Fulham, who scored three goals away to Sunderland.

That's a massive concern.

Building the plane as you're flying the plane, as they say.

Thanks a million, Brian.

Lots more comedy in Off the Ball between now and the end of the season.

Next week, we'll have the Arsenal-Chelsea match.

And before that, Friday night, of course, the big Dublin derby between Bohemians and Shamrock Grove is from seven o'clock on Off the Ball.

No, I think it was a really important win for Palace in terms of where they're at.

They've overtaken Brighton in the league as well.

So there's been a lot of positives about them.

I think the three new signings they brought in probably felt, Glassner, the way he spoke a little bit this week, has been a bit more positive.

Him himself as well.

So that's reflecting in the team's performance.

A lot to like about it.
