Fulham are a poor man's Brighton.
Newcastle aren't good but if they can get Wilson back they are better than Fulham.

2nd fav with the bookies so yeah not a bad shout.
Ole doesn't enjoy playing against them either so no reason for Arsenal to fear Utd.
Not to mention Saint-Maximim and Almiron who has just come back. I think it'll be super close, it surprises me how much talk I see that has Newcastle as pretty much down already - they've got big players to come back and whilst Fulham have undoubtedly improve they still average a point a game this calendar year - so still relegation form. I think Fulham's home form will decide - obviously there home game v Newcastle on the final day could be decisive but they've got the worst home form in the league but very winnable home games - Wolves, Burnley and Newcastle - I think they'll need to win at least 2 of those 3 to have a chance - that would give them 32 points and then they could get a few points from their tougher looking away games - away at Arsenal a couple days after Arsenal play Slavia Prague, they play Chelsea in between our potential semi-finals v Madrid/Liverpool if we can get past Porto so think those games are more winnable than they might otherwise be. Although, likewise Newcastle have Liverpool and Arsenal when they might be otherwise focused on Europe if they get through their QF ties.
In the Europa I'm backing Villarreal - have had a soft spot for them for a long time so that may influence things but they've been really good in the Europa League and see no reason why they can't get to the final at which point its anyones game. I'm going for Ajax v Villarreal in the final.

Slavia will dick them if they're not thrown out the competition.

Nah Kieran Tierney will score and hat trick against them before breaking that Kudela bloke's legs, thereby forcing you to grudgingly acknowledge his greatness.

Me two weeks ago: I'm losing interest in football, it's on all the time, the players are exhausted and there's no atmosphere, it needs a break
Me realising today that there's no midweek football on because of an international break: ****ing **** sake **** the **** off ****ing *****

I would but I have important plans to play the Witcher 3 and try to retroactively figure out what the **** happened in that mafia game.

Yeah I've found myself feeling similar things tbh. For me the whole lack of atmosphere thing has almost gone full circle. I.e. the lack of crowd etc. has gone from being "lacking atmosphere" to being "the new atmosphere". I don't really feel that games lack atmosphere per se now, there's something that has come back into the air for me, it's just that it's a fundamentally different atmosphere than that which we are used to.

Wouldn't lack atmosphere if ya teams weren't shite.

Lies, the Emirates lacks atmosphere regardless of how good Arsenal are.
When the games are great I don't really notice it much at all but whenever it is a dull match it adds to its general rubbishness.
For me though not being able to go to games is the **** part, not the lack of fans when watching on TV. Miss it so much.

Yes, good point actually, the games that I have watched recently have all tended to be generally exciting or frenetic, which no doubt helps a lot.

Yeah it really does. We've just passed a law fining people £5k for leaving the country "without a good reason" and every international break so far has been a great big Covid party.
