Wenger turns 67 in October and is also on the final year of his contract. While his future as Arsenal boss is not a certainty after the 2016/17 season, Le Professeur does not have retirement on his mind. “It’s been my life and, honestly, I’m quite scared of the day,” Wenger explained. “The longer I wait, the more difficult it will be and the more difficult it will be to lose the addiction....

The 31-year-old striker made the move earlier this year, and while he is not entirely content with his early form at Stamford Bridge, he felt his time at the Emirates was winding down. That was confirmed to him when Robert Pires and Freddy Ljungberg told him it was time to move on in his career. “Football legends like Robert Pires, who’s a close friend, Freddy Ljungberg and even some former Chelsea players told me that their game would suit me because they always play with a big striker and cross a lot,” he told L’Equipe....

Despite the loss, the Gunners managed to advance to the Europa League last 16 via a 4-2 aggregate victory. Arsenal’s 3-0 win in the last-32 first leg was enough to see them past the Swedish side, but the team’s home form in Europe will be a continuing concern for Arsene Wenger. Before dropping into the Europa League this season, the Gunners had been knocked out in the Champions League round of 16 in seven consecutive seasons....
Emery’s dismissal was confirmed in an official club statement the morning after Arsenal had thrown away a half-time lead to lose 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League. That result extended the Gunners’ winless streak to seven games in all competitions. Despite taking charge of 1,235 matches as Arsenal boss, Emery’s predecessor Arsene Wenger never endured such a long winless run. Indeed, this is Arsenal’s worst run since 1992, when George Graham was at the helm for a stretch of eight games without a victory....
Sanchez may not be categorized in the same league as Ronaldo and the comparisons usually revolve around Messi and Ronaldo. However, the Chilean is undoubtedly the best player in the Arsenal squad and was also instrumental in helping Chile win their first ever Copa America.

In case you didn’t know… The 26-year-old was a standout performer for Crystal Palace last season. In the Premier League 2018-19, Zaha netted ten goals and provided five assists under his name from 34 league appearances.

While we can never be exactly sure of what Jesus, Mary and Joseph actually looked like, we know they were not fair-skinned, flaxen-haired Europeans. And, though an emerging fringe of historians would argue otherwise, it’s fairly certain they weren’t black Africans. In all likelihood, what they were was something in between: olive-skinned, dark-featured Semitic Jews living in Israel. Yet depictions of them as such are exceedingly rare compared to the countless number of images that have proliferated through the millennia portraying them as Caucasians....
Arteriosclerosis (arterio- meaning artery and -sclerosis meaning hardening) occurs when abnormalities known as lesions form in the innermost layer of the arterial wall, called the intima. Over time, the lesions start to fill with cellular waste, causing the walls to harden, thicken, and stiffen. There are several different forms of arteriosclerosis, which can vary by the types of vessels affected and/or differences in the disease process. Atherosclerosis is by far the most common of these....
Aubameyang was handed the armband when Granit Xhaka was stripped of the role by Arteta’s predecessor Unai Emery.

Aubameyang has told RMC he is “100 per cent” at Arsenal despite the speculation, while Arteta has consistently said he expects to keep hold of the 30-year-old....
Mikel Arteta’s men have missed Champions League football for four straight seasons and European football for over two decades. However, they have a very good chance of returning to European club football’s blue-riband competition. Whether they return to the competition, though, will largely depend on the consistency of their performances. On Thursday, Arteta’s side will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in one of their three outstanding games in the Premier League....
Arteta worked under the tutelage of Guardiola as his assistant from July 2016 until departing to replace Unai Emery as Arsenal head coach last December. Earlier this month, Arteta had an unhappy return to the Etihad Stadium as the Gunners were beaten 3-0 by City when the Premier League returned from its coronavirus hiatus. He has a chance to avenge that defeat before the end of the campaign after the teams were drawn to face one another in the FA Cup semi-finals, with Arsenal overcoming Sheffield United and City defeating Newcastle United to make the last four....
