Leicester are poor but Palace could easily be 3-0 down via long balls to Vardy.

It’s been a crap couple weeks for Arsenal with losses and injuries, but today was fun.
Things are going normally in Serie A.

I kept wondering if “falconer” was some curious translation artifact like “central gardener”, but, no, they’re actually talking about the guy responsible for the eagle they fly around the pitch before games.

Remembering Kayla the Eagle, who passed away a few years ago.
If you’re awake, Newcastle and Bournemouth are engaged in a thoroughly entertaining battle that is going end to end with the same frequency as a basketball game.
During a Bournemouth attack, a Newcastle player hooked the ball back into play from near the touch line, trying to prevent a corner. The referee and linesman were happy the ball stayed in play.
Bournemouth collected the ball from the clearance, pressed again and scored. VAR looked back at the hooked clearance and ruled - correctly - that the ball had gone over the touch line before Bournemouth scored, so chalked off the goal and awarded Bournemouth a corner kick.
Those are the rules, but that sucks.
Meanwhile, the game continues to be an absolute banger.
First road win of the day in the bag…

Wilf Zaha has just signed with Charlotte FC. I hope he enjoys his time there (I think he’s going to rip up MLS) as it’s been a rough ride since he opted to leave Palace.
It made sense for him to leave, and I’m sure it would’ve been a lifelong nagging question had he not, but he ended up riding the bench in the Turkish league with the occasional cameo in the Champions League.
Here’s to the return of Wilf unleashed.
City blow a 2-0 lead, losing 4-2 to PSG and put themselves in real danger of not advancing to the knockout round.

Pep’s new contract is going to protect him for a while longer than he would get otherwise, but shitting the bed this hard this season is going to force the club’s hand eventually.
They’ll continue to blame it on missing Rodri, which is probably somewhat true, but still, a payroll like that is supposed to help cushion those sorts of blows.

They have two or three internationals for every position. I watched the highlights and - based on that - the score line was flattering…to City.
They shouldn’t fall apart from losing 1 player.
PSG goal #4 was embarrassing at any level of play.

Speaking of Palace wingers, we’ve just signed this kid, another south London local boy. He’s just 19, and I can’t decide if he’s more Zaha or Olise. But that’s like trying to choose between a tit wank from Scarlett Johansson or Sydney Sweeney.
Michael Oliver Coote tried to steal points from Arsenal with an absolutely shameful/corrupt Red. But depleted Gunners hang on for all 3 points.
The straight red was a joke, and I’m sure it’ll be overturned on appeal (meaning there’s no 3-match ban). As to “hanging on”, it was still 0-0 when Wolves had a player sent off to even the numbers, after which Arsenal scored. So it’s not quite the heroic defense that you suggest it is; and Wolves are shite anyway.
Spurs (1 win in 10) vs. Leicester (7 straight defeats) is the definition of the irresistible force meeting the moveable object.
Palace vs. Brentford is on Peacock at the same time, btw.
