Arsene Wenger

the end of an era.

Probably the greatest manager that managed the great team of Arsenal. Born in Strasbourg, France, Arsene Wenger makes his departure from the Emirates. he has a history of managing Monaco, Nancy, Nagoya grampus and finally Arsenal. His football career brought him 4 goals in total before his career of managing.

Wenger will step down from his managerial role at Arsenal at the end of the season after 22 years in charge of the club.

His last game takes in a trip to Huddersfield on Sunday (3pm) with Arsenal still looking for their first away point of 2018.

Wenger has largely brought success to Arsenal, winning three Premier Leagues as well as seven FA Cups.

The Frenchman was also an integral part of the north London club’s move from their old Highbury ground to their new Emirates Stadium.

But it’s the way Wenger has got his Arsenal players thinking that the 68-year-old wants to be mainly remembered for.

MAN UNITED WILL TRY AND SIGN NEYMAR. OF COURSE THEY WILL

Source: https://www.football365.com/news/gossip-manchester-united-to-break-world-transfer-record Now you can’t say that the Sunday Mirror’s John Richardson is afraid of making some bold transfer claims. The first report from yer man made us spit out our Coco Pops. Richardson writes that Manchester United are lining up a £200m-plus move for Neymar this summer. That’s despite PSG saying that the Brazilian is going nowhere, and just about everyone thinking that if he does move it will be to Real Madrid. We’re also told that Manchester United would be happy to pay Neymar the £30m a year that he currently gets in Paris. Well, they’d have to. The evidence for the move is that United have a good relationship with Neymar’s father, who supports Manchester United. Wonderfully, Richardson ends his piece with the following line: ‘Any deal to take Neymar to the Bernabeu would cost in excess of the near £200million fee paid by PSG to lure him to the French capital last summer.’ ...

Lucky Japan qualify for knockout stages through Fifa's fair play rules despite losing 1-0 to Poland

Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/28/japan-vs-poland-world-cup-2018-live-score-latest-updates/ Fair play sent Japan through to the next round Akira Nishino is a lucky man indeed. Unconvincing, barmy and lucky. Maybe the stifling heat in Volgograd had got to the Japan coach? How else to explain his thought process? Nishino rolled the dice not once, but twice here in a fog of muddled thinking and, in the end, was only spared total humiliation back home courtesy of the fair play rule. No one, least of all his players, could quite fathom his decision to make a raft of bewildering changes with everything still to play for against Poland. And no less bemusing was his insistence that Japan run down the clock for the final 10 minutes of the match amid a cacophony of boos inside the Volgograd Arena, despite the knowledge that a second Poland goal or a Senegal equaliser against Colombia would have sent his team crashing out. “It was a very tough de...

Due to what unfolded at Spartak Stadium between Serbia and Brazil, what happened between Switzerland and Costa Rica didn't ended up mattering much. On Wednesday, Switzerland and Costa Rica battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw that involved two goals in the final minutes.
