'I expect a stronger start to the season' - fans on Palace's fixtures
We asked for your views on where you think Crystal Palace will be after 10 games, and what you make of how the fixtures have fallen.Here are some of your comments:Gary: I expect a stronger start to this season as there are no international tournaments. We should win at Chelsea as they won't have a break. After 10 games I think we'll have 21pts and be in the top half.Kevin: Pleased with the way fixtures have fallen. We desperately need to start better than we did last season and if we do that we'll have a chance again of being in the mix for Europe, but obviously playing in the Europa League (hopefully) will impact also.Mark: If we keep our squad, we will be top six.

King Charles III is left disappointed as Rainbow's Edge finishes seventh in Kensington Palace Stakes - a day after his horse was easily beaten on Royal Ascot opening day
King Charles III was left disappointed after his horse Rainbow's Edge slumped to a seventh place finish on the second day at Royal Ascot, as Miss Information claimed top honours in the Kensington Palace Stakes. With the well-fancied Reaching High unable to land a blow when the 11-4 favourite for Tuesday's Ascot Stakes, attentions turned to the next runner to carry the royal silks in the penultimate race on Wednesday's card and Rainbows Edge was the 3-1 market leader come the off. The four-year-old had won three of her four starts for the the in-form training team of John and Thady Gosden, but while she travelled strongly for the first half of this straight mile contest under William Buick, she was a spent force with two furlongs to run and faded out of contention. John Gosden said: 'The ground was too quick for her, it dried out too much for her and she wants stepping up to a mile and a quarter. 'She's actually run well for a filly who wasn't in love with the ground, so we will just now go a mile and a quarter with a bit of ease in the ground and hopefully win a Listed race with her.' At the business end of proceedings it was Andrew Balding's Miss Information (11-1) and the Gavin Cromwell-trained Snellen who came to the fore, with the former coming out on top by a length in the hands of Oisin Murphy. Balding said: 'She's been a star, this filly. She had no luck last time at Epsom, she got shuffled back and just didn't seem to enjoy herself. 'Fast ground is what she wants, she just about got the mile. 'It's so nice for her owner, they really get a lot of enjoyment out of it and I'm so pleased for them. 'She's in the Bunbury Cup, we will try to get some black type at some stage and she'll make a lovely broodmare.' It comes just a day after the King's horse Reaching High was well-beaten on the opening day as Ascending won the Ascot Stakes by a head. The horse, ridden by Ryan Moore, was the hot favourite before the runners set off at the historic Flat race meeting, at 11/4 to claim the £57,000 first-place prize ahead of going to post. Trained by National Hunt superstar trainer Willie Mullins, Reaching High was bred by the late Queen Elizabeth II out of Estimate, who won the Ascot Gold Cup in 2013.

Disappointment for the King and Queen as Miss Information triumphs at Ascot
Rainbows Edge could finish only seventh in the colours of the King and Queen, as Miss Information claimed top honours in the Kensington Palace Stakes on day two of Royal Ascot.

Myles Lewis-Skelly set to sign lucrative new Arsenal deal after superb season
Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly has impressed many during his incredible breakthrough season at the Emirates and now the teenager is set to be rewarded with a bumper new contract Arsenal starlet Myles Lewis-Skelly is reportedly close to signing a lucrative new deal at the Emirates after his superb breakthrough season. The left-back was one of the team's brightest stars in the 2024-25 season after being handed an opportunity to impress and he made the position his own after some impressive performances. Those displays led to a first England call-up from boss Thomas Tuchel and he scored on his debut in a 2-0 win over Albania in March. Now the Gunners want to reward the player for his sensational rise with a 'substantial' pay rise, which will make him one of the best-paid youngsters in the game, according to the Athletic. His boss Mikel Arteta is said to have been key in the new contract talks, with his mother Marcia Lewis negotiating the deal on behalf of her son. Now that Lewis-Skelly has turned 18, he is able to sign a long-term deal. He previously signed professional terms after becoming 17 in 2023 but could not sign a contract longer than three years at that time, meaning his current deal will end next summer. The teenager's debut for Arsenal came during the 2-2 draw against Manchester City in September and he earned huge plaudits for his solid defensive display despite never previously featuring for the senior side. He would go on to play a total of 39 times for the first team as he started 15 games in the Premier League and seven in the Champions League. There have even been stunning reports that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on the player, but any new deal should put those stories to bed. Earlier this season, Lewis-Skelly made it clear how much he admires manager Arteta, indicating his happiness at his boyhood club - calling him a "genius". "His attention to detail is incredible," he told Sky Sports in April. "I love to learn so learning from him and the way he handles and approaches the games, it's fascinating. There's so much I can take from him. He's a genius really." In turn, Arteta has been complimentary about the teenage talent and insisted his England call-up was a direct result of hard work. He said in March: "In six-seven months, your career can change dramatically for the good, so it's something for people to be inspired by. It hasn't happened because he was lucky. He pushed for every chance to happen."
