Guys... it's time to take them to "church". 😎😎😎

United leading Sunderland? Good. Need United to win, actually, so that Amorim stays.

Wait. It's already THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL BREAK!?

Wait. Does that mean he made that Osimhem 1v1 save... injured? Damn.

🤷🤷🤷 Correctly overturned, but VAR intervened. They sure as hell didn't with the first penalty is what I'm saying. 🤷

Have a feeling unsustainable FC won't be able to turn up today...

Could really do with Federico Chiesa here...

Two weeks ago, Frankfurt thrashed Galatasaray. This week, they're thrashed by Atletico. Football.

Ali down and won't continue. Mamar on. Been wanting to watch Mamar play in meaningful games, and here we have it. Let's see how he does.

We need to have a conversation as to what counts as a sitter.

Must be watching a different game. Konate's chance was about the only one you can arguably count as "wasteful", but other than that some chances were blocked, and one was cleared off the line. 🤷

You'll never see that kind of penalty given in the PL. That's hardly a penalty. Not even a VAR review. Fuck me.

Where was that Newcastle fighting spirit when they were down 10 against LFC? Smh 🤦

Elliot starts for Villa!!!

Wait. Real Madrid lost 5-2 to Atletico Madrid? 😳 First defeat for them as well.

This. Life is about ups and downs, winning and losing. You can't win all the time, and you're not entitled to. Palace trained and worked hard as well, and today they deserved what they work for. That's all. Balance, as all things should be.

Also, just gonna say: Yes, poor performance, but too many head losses here. Fans forget that the opposition also trained hard and strategised properly as well, and in this case, it worked out for them. Credit where credit is due.

Well, there it is. Just like Forest last season. Get it out of the system early, then let's get going in the coming games.

Ah even Chiesa is missing. That will do it I guess.

Chiesa and Frimpong are coming on. I don't like that Chiesa comes on as a #9, cz I feel like that's his least effective position, but I trust that Slot and Chiesa have sorted that out privately. Let's see what happens.

Remember Forest last season? This feels like that game.

Salah got wrestled to the ground - nothing given. Salah trips and opposition just a little - freekick. 🤷🤷🤷

Deary me 😅 he had two great saves earlier as well. Poor Bayindir...

Really, really hope he gets well soon. So calm and composed yesterday. 18yo at that. Nevertheless, this may be a blessing in disguise for 2 reasons: 1. Chiesa is (probably) now gonna be in the CL squad to take Leoni's place. 2. It may force LFC's hands to... idk, sign Guehi in Jan?

So... regarding Chiesa's performance tonight: MOTM, no doubt. On RW, he was solid. On LW though, a whole different side of him came out. No doubt Slot would've noticed this for sure - and we won't be able to see it v Palace - but I'd like to think from now on, Chiesa comes on for Gakpo if needed?

Shouldn't go unmentioned that Southampton is sending out a relatively strong team tonight. Gonna be a challenge for this "reserve" LFC side. Let's see how they fare.

Been a while since we last saw Chiesa play on the wing. Slot used him as a #9 a few times, and tbf he has scored 2 goals being in that position, but it's good to see him play on the wing again. Looking forward to his link-up play with Isak.

Read somewhere that Madueke wasn't exactly 100% match fit per se prior to City, but Arteta started him anyway. Let's hope that's not true, but if it is, it's absolutely wild.

Ngl, the way Martinelli celebrated the goal, you'd think they scored the winner. Whatever happened to taking the ball out of the net and quickly putting it back in the center circle?

Arsenal coming out to this 2nd half a lot better.

Neville mentioned that 6 out of the 9 league goals by Arsenal are from dead ball situations. If anything is unsustainable, it’s that.

Forgot City just played Thursday night. Absolutely wild. How are they playing on Sunday already?

427 - Matty Cash’s strike was Aston Villa’s first goal of the Premier League campaign, coming 427 minutes into the season; only Crystal Palace in 2017-18 (641) and Newcastle in 2005-06 (438) have ever waited longer from the start of a campaign for their first goal. Overdue.

EMERGENCY MEETING IS COMING LATER 😂😂😂

Ooo what was Reinaldo thinking there. You can be angry, but you can't just kicked an opponent like that. Well-deserved red.

Just wait for Man Utd to not be able to do anything with this advantage.

And just like that, Esteavo is done. Was half looking forward to him playing considering I'm watching Chelsea for the first time, but eh... 🤷

Wirtz, man. So silky.

I just realised that Harvey Elliot scored Aston Villa's first goal of the season. In 5 games. 😳

Idk what to feel about that international break news for Sept 2026, but I guess it's better to have one combined one rather than 2 separate ones. 🤷🤷🤷

My gosh, go watch the Juventus v Inter Milan highlights. I have never seen bangers after bangers in one game. And the game ended 4-3 in Juventus' favour as well!

Meanwhile, an offline Ursa is not on my 2025 bingo card. But it has certainly taken Xtreme Gaming off guard. Ammar is cooking with this Ursa so far.

That was so easy for City. Goodness. What a header by Foden though.

This all day. LFC have a history of not doing well after an int. break. The worst kind of opposition you can face are the ones that park the bus totally. Huge 3 points. Manchester derby next.

I understand this is how almost every team will play against LFC - everyone wants to beat LFC after all - but it must be quite a headache for Slot and his staff to figure out this lowblock stuff w/o potentially getting countered.

I know many have said this already, but this green kit is 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!

5 PL games happening simultaneously. 4 goals. 3 of them scored between Bournemouth (2) and Brighton (1).

Man. What a draft by Heroic already. Pudge AND Broodmother? In this meta? Tundra have very good counters to Broodmother and her spiderlings and have a good team fight team as well. In contrast, Heroic's look very individualistic. Good for a gank, not so much a teamfight. Let's see what happens.

One game at a time. Trust that Slot and his staff know what they're doing. We will see Isak in due time.

So much focus on the death of one person that the news of yet another school shooting got completely ignored. And oh, of course, THAT file. 🤷🤷🤷
