People said Palace are shit in Europe. They called us embarrassing.
Well, we just narrowly beat the 2nd best side in Cyprus. At the 3rd attempt. In extra time. After they went down to 9 men.
Think a few apologies are owed.

@alexmoneypenny There's still time to delete this my brother, the best of times have made you forget their worst of times

@TurkTalksFC Is every united fan a professional gimp who lies for a living

Finding it quite amusing how ‘open play’ is suddenly this huge thing when it comes to assists now - as if a great cross from a corner/free-kick isn’t as impressive as a short pass in open play…
Wonder why
English
@SOMMG456 @arcuaria Yes you do! That's the entire point!!! You can't ask any group of people to just firm casual abuse/negativity towards them and then pretend, as if this is somehow a "progressive" opinion, just because you've inverted the values of a mindset that is inherently conservative.
English
@TimonSenn @arcuaria Young girls have been treated the same for centuries and you don't see them with that same attitude as men.
English
If young boys are so emasculated by a tongue in cheek pop song about how men are frequently emotionally unavailable that they find the teachings of a sex trafficking rapist relatable I don’t really think that women are the problem actually.
ImageGod@TheImageGod
WHAT ARE YOUNG BOYS SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN ALL THEY SEE IS MEN ARE TRASH AGENDAS AND CONSTANT DELUDED NARRATIVES THEN THEY SEE SOMEONE LIKE ANDREW TATE OR WHOEVER AND THEY RELATE….ALL THESE DOCS AND ESSAYS ON MEN AND MASCULINITY WHEN HONESTLY WOMEN ARE A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM 🤷♂️

@envisionedluna @realDonaldTrump @PeteHegseth Can someone tag the IRGC and give them the coordinates to your house, thanks

I swear to you.
If you let Arsenal become the first & only team to win BOTH of the current formats of the Prem & UCL invincible.
We are going to start a dialog about these fogging estandards.

Arsenal are now the only unbeaten side left in the Champions League 🔒

@returnsumtapes @Bd_irB_ll They most likely would, given the level of opposition and lower intensity of the games. There's nothing that will ever change the fact that the difference between the top and bottom teams in the bundes/ligue1 15x to 30x, versus 5x for the prem.
English
@TimonSenn @Bd_irB_ll This just isn’t true mate sorry, the inference here is that Villa and Newcastle plopped into Germany would win the league, scoring 100 odd when they obviously wouldn’t. PSG won the biggest of the lot btw hardly worthless
English
My thing is when you create a metric and it tells you Newcastle and Villa are better than Bayern how do you not go back to the drawing board?
Opta Analyst@OptaAnalyst
There was some talk last season that the Premier League was weak compared to previous years, but five English teams won major trophies for the first time ever, and according to the latest Opta Power Rankings, six of the top nine teams in the world are from the Premier League.
English
@umirf1 The underlying assumptions of this discussion prove the superiority of the premier league; why are we surprised that the 3rd best team in Spain beat a relegation candidate? Why are we surprised that domestic treble champions beat a team in 9th, unless we except them to be equal?
English
Why do we think English sides have struggled in the UCL KOs then?
English
@returnsumtapes @Bd_irB_ll It doesn't, it just shows you how worthless of a measure winning trophies in non-competitive leagues is, if you're a team that outspends all of your domestic rivals 3-1
English
@TimonSenn @Bd_irB_ll It’s an end result that should question the method though, it’s so patently stupid to have those teams above Bayern that it makes the whole method clearly ineffective complex or not
English
@returnsumtapes @Bd_irB_ll The ratings are a bit more complex than just counting trophies, especially for teams in one-horse leagues like PSG and Bayern.
English
@Bd_irB_ll What could possibly have churned out this? How could PSG be below Arsenal when we haven’t won anything and they beat us on the way to winning the ucl

I have no admiration or rivalry with Arsenal, like a lot of people in the country, but the absolute state of their online fans are making everyone want City to win the league, me included
English
@CBSSportsGolazo @T_Deeney "Horrible, stingy nastiness" is also how doctors described Deeney's face at birth, but unlike his analysis on the game, it's actually true.

“Under Arteta, they got this horrible, stingy nastiness.”
@T_Deeney on this current Arsenal side's toughness under Arteta💥

@VipArsenal Can somebody send this interview to Tuchel? Anybody got his fax-number?? Please???

The win here flipped the script this year, I have said it before and I am saying it again.
Living Liverpool@Livin_Liverpool
On Saturday we can go 8 points ahead of Arsenal and put them under pressure ahead of their traditionally tough match at St James Park 👀
English
@JohnBrewin_ United-Arsenal as a rivalry is more salient globally, as those were the two main clubs when the prem was gaining most of its initial popularity overseas.
All of the United fans i know personally (Scandinavians mainly) only really know of the Leeds rivalry as a historical thing.
English
I’d always thought only Spurs really had a proper deep-seated rivalry with Arsenal. United have Liverpool, City and Leeds. Arsenal were once their rival for honours, it got heated but calmed down. Just two big clubs, at it. Chelsea seem indifferent to Arsenal.
James.@afcjxmes
It’s because: a) We’re rivals with all of the big 6 for different reasons (Spurs/Chelsea = local; City/Pool = title; United = Fergie vs Wenger). b) This generation grew up with us as whipping boys, now we’re on top it’s annoying. United get similar but have less direct rivals.
English
@6_timesred Both are PSR breaches, but one was for infrastructure payments (indirect sporting benefit) while the other was for player transfers, which is a pretty fucking direct benefit!
English
@GiuliaBould Completely different breaches though aren’t they.
Everton’s was PSR. This is off the book payments. I don’t think you can compare the two figures.
English
£47.5m is more than double Everton's breach that led to a Premier League record sanction of 10 points being deducted (it was recalculated to 6 on appeal)
While this is a different charge, the commission said EFC "gained no sporting advantage" but still agreed a deduction.
Martyn Ziegler@martynziegler
Updated: Chelsea receive £10.75m fine from Premier League for secret payments to players + unlicensed agents during Abramovich era. £47.5m spent off the books to sign Hazard, Ramires, David Luiz, Willian, Eto'o, Schurrle, Matic. thetimes.com/sport/football…
