Have you ever watched someone deliberately choose the harder path when the easier one was right there? That is what Marco Silva did this week.

Genuinely speaking. You think about it. What kind of man turns down double his salary? One who has something to prove. And Marco Silva has everything to prove at Benfica.

Fulham reportedly offered him £8 million a year to stay. On a three-year contract. With them, he had security, familiarity and a squad he built himself.

Benfica however came with £4 million and a fanbase that will not accept third place in their own league as a reasonable outcome. Yet he chose them.

The five years he spent at Craven Cottage were genuinely impressive. He had a Championship title with 110 goals in a single season. He also got Fulham back in the Premier League and staying there. He never Never finished below 13th in the league. He also led them
to their first ever League Cup semi-final.

He literally turned a yo-yo club into a reliable top half side and did it without drama or noise. You may not understand. But that is harder than it looks.

But impressive and historic are different things. Silva has never managed at a club where winning trophies is the baseline expectation rather than the aspiration.

He will be replacing Jose Mourinho at the Estadio da Luz, with Benfica having finished thi in the Primeira Liga last season. Third place at Benfica is not a foundation to build on. It is a problem to fix immediately.

He has been building a house near Lisbon for two years. This was always the destination. The comfort of Fulham was never going to be enough for a man who left Portugal to prove himself and now wants to come home and prove something different entirely.

Legacy costs more than salary. Silva just paid the price willingly. We will see if he gets the prize.

Arsène Wenger on Arsenal winning the league: 🔴🏆 #AFC

🗣️“Arsenal are winning the league — no excuses, no explanations. They have everything it takes to do it.

And if they win it, it will not be because their opponents were weak. In fact, this has been one of the greatest Premier League seasons of the century. A season where almost every team has had its moment at the top.

There were periods where Bournemouth looked unstoppable, then Sunderland took control, Chelsea dominated, Liverpool surged, Aston Villa looked like contenders, and now Manchester City are having their run. At different moments, every one of these teams made people believe they could win the league.

But through all of that chaos, there has been one team that kept standing — Arsenal.

Constant. Consistent. Resilient.

Even when setbacks came, Arsenal remained there. Their quality, mentality, experience, and belief have taken them further than many expected.

And believe me, when Arsenal win this league, it will not just be a title. It could be the beginning of a long and dominant era”.

@lidocaine_v2 Say no more.

This happened immediately after Timber’s goal btw.

Three years on... Man City 115 charges delay is embarrassing and a stain on the English game

Bukayo Saka on Arsenal being favourites for the title:

“People’s opinions and thoughts about us change like the weather.

“The most important thing is the changing room, how solid we are, the foundation we have, the belief we have in ourselves.”

Anyone remember how hard Arsenal fans were glazing this performance last week?

Today, Gyokeres had the same number of shots & goals, more expected assists, more key passes & more big chances created. He did all of that in 45 minutes

Haven't heard a peep from that section still

@HandofArsenal cooking everyone that has come at Arsenal with Dishonest Discourse.

It’s crazy that one account can defend Arsenal like this. For YEARS none of the aggregators with reach did this, all they care about is betting #ads’ and engagement farming 💰.

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

You are not safe either. Dishonest discourse. Make your mind up or does it depend on the club?

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

This is where you need to be.
