SL Benfica here - I was at a match last year watching local fans throw flares onto their own pitch protesting their coach Roger Schmidt, who was eventually fired and replaced by Bruno Lage. It was weird. And apparently effective.

Tried to Quote post @HubertsDudes, but I would add that Palace should be challenging IN Eurpoe this year.
Ha yeah forgot that they were in Conference (should be the Europa League). I think they ought to be aiming for direct qualification though, not simply through the FA Cup. They are a hard side to play against and they’ve kept much of their elite talent. Wharton is utter class in the midfield.

Given how English sides rampaged through the lower level European leagues last year…I completely agree that Palace have every right to consider themselves Conference League contenders.

They’ve kept much of their elite talent so far, but the window hasn’t closed yet…

Mancunian. I only recently learned that was as to the city of Manchester what New Yorker is to the city of New York.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised given a Liverpudlian is the equivalent for Liverpool [which I have long known because of the Beatles].

Very curious to see how this Arsenal ManU game goes. I do think United will be much better this season…made some decent purchases this summer.

Your answer is that the Gunners weren’t even remotely close to being that good today and………“One Nil to the Arsenal” at Old Trafford. Honestly United were pretty good today and their front line will be lot better this year with their signings.

Lots of these memes floating around but this is my favorite. Really happy for Chiesa…he’s way too good to be a bit piece but Slot isn’t the biggest fan and it’s insanely hard to get into the Liverpool attack at the moment.

United might have improved enough to crack the top half of the table this season. They still couldn’t lay a glove on an Arsenal side that dropped a 4/10 performance though.
Amorim knew their midfield was severely outclassed so he had them playing long balls to bypass a midfield battle. Smart move, but they were fortunate Arsenal were extremely sloppy/rusty in attacking transition.

Yea….that attack was brutal to watch at times, especially odegaard in transition. I feel like Leeds is about to get the full brunt of the squad at the Emirates this Saturday.
