The former Army officer and successful banker was chairman of the Gunners – the third member of his family to fill the role after his grandfather and father – from 1982-2013. Under his chairmanship, Arsenal enjoyed two successful eras with starkly contrasting styles of play. The conservative defensive strategy of George Graham secured the club two league titles, the FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup between 1986 and 1995....
The deal will see the Gunners’ first team, under-21 and under-18 teams use Gatorade before, during and after all training sessions and matches. On the deal, Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s director of global partnerships and business strategy, said: “We are delighted to welcome Gatorade to our growing family of partners; a truly international brand and the leaders in their field. “As we further build our support in international territories, we know that we can help connect Gatorade with fans around the world....
Jurgen Klopp’s side struggled to a 3-3 draw in their opening league clash with Watford but have won every match since, with their latest victory over the Gunners one of the greatest performances fans have seen from the club in recent times. Reds to beat City & O2.5 goals 4/1 Sitting second in the table heading into the international break, Can believes he and his team-mates can’t play much better, but has promised consistent hard work in order to maintain Liverpool’s seemingly free-scoring current form....
While in past seasons it had always been a case of how many people are on the injury list after the international break, things seem to have changed for the better at Arsenal with positive news coming after the first international game. Wilshere and Frimpong are closer to first team action with both of them doing light training yesterday morning. It is expected that both would be available to take part in the full training session with the first team from next week....
The Gunners have spent much of the 2016-17 campaign trying to tempt the star duo into committing to fresh terms. Both are due to be out of contract in 2018 and Arsenal are running a risk in letting their terms run down. Campbell picks dream Arsenal signing Keown, though, believes that neither is fully committed to the cause, especially in times of trouble, and feels meeting their salary demands could end up doing more harm than good....
At the age of 24, the Switzerland international is aware that he remains far from the finished article. Wenger reaches PL landmark That fact has been highlighted at times throughout his debut season in English football at Emirates Stadium. Disciplinary issues have caused him the biggest problem, but Xhaka acknowledges that he also needs to work on his technical ability. “As a midfield player we have a very important role,” he told Pro Direct....
Jose Mourinho dismisses his own home record against Arsenal The king of banter, Jose Mourinho, has never lost against Arsenal at home in the Premier League so far in his managerial career. The bitter North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, will lock horns once again this weekend but Jose Mourinho does not believe that his undefeated record againt Arsenal counts for much. He also partly agreed with Eric Dier’s comments on Mikel Arteta....
However, the transfer which everyone expected to happen in the final days of the window saw Gunners fans shed no tears whatsoever. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s flip-flopping between Liverpool and Chelsea has seen him finally settle on his ‘boyhood’ Reds, who have agreed a £35 million fee which includes add-ons of up to £5m. The Gunners are getting a hefty chunk of money for a player who has contributed far too little on the pitch since he arrived as a 17-year-old in 2011....
The Wales international sustained the problem in the first half of the 1-1 Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed that Ramsey will be missing for around a month in a press conference ahead of his team’s UEFA Champions League clash with Galatasaray. “To be generous with time, four weeks,” Wenger said on Tuesday. “If all goes well, three.” The news means Ramsey is certain to miss Sunday’s meeting with Premier League leader Chelsea at Stamford Bridge....
As previously revealed by Goal, the 34-year-old right-back becomes Unai Emery’s first signing as Gunners head coach, having taken over from Arsene Wenger at the end of the 2017-18 campaign. “Stephan brings huge experience and leadership to our squad," Emery told Arsenal’s official website. “He’s a player with great quality with a very positive and determined attitude. Stephan will improve us on and off the pitch.” Emery’s first task as Gunners head coach was to strengthen a side which aims to close the gap on their Premier League rivals next season, with defence a clear priority having conceded 51 times in the Premier League during Arsene Wenger’s final season in charge....
The Gunners absolutely flew out of the blocks in midweek, beating Standard Liege by 4-0 and maintaining a positive momentum. However, they’ve only won one of their last five Premier League games, with three of those finishing as draws. Unai Emery would be urging a pinch of consistency from his players for sure, especially the back line. The return of a few players at the defensive end makes for optimism, but there’s a lot more to be done in order to stop conceding cheaply....
Unai Emery’s men endured a wretched April in the Premier League as they lost three consecutive league games for the first time under the Spaniard’s watch. The toothless defeat to Crystal Palace at home was followed up by equally dire displays away to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City. However, the Gunners come into the game upbeat after their mid-week European triumph over Valencia. Though they were far from their best, they won the crucial moments and eventually succeeded in putting three past the Los Ches....
For as tenacious as Hull has been at home (4 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss; +4 GD), they’ve been toothless away (1 win, no draws, 5 losses; -8 GD) with their only win over Newcastle in the season’s fifth week. As to how they’ll probably line up, we should see something similar to what we saw when we faced Liverpool, albeit with less of an attacking edge: a 3-5-2. This formation works well when your defenders are agile, strong in the air, and astute positionally....
The Frenchman has received a flurry of criticism throughout the season for his failure to bring in another attacker last season, after failing in an attempt to bring Gonzalo Higuain to the Emirates, who later joined Napoli. With Giroud his only established senior striker as Wenger remains unconvinced by Lukas Podolski, the 27-year-old has had to carry the goal scoring burden for the Gunners despite clearly suffering from fatigue on several occasions....
The 64-year-old had stalled on contract talks this season and many expected the Frenchman to leave if Arsenal went a ninth year without a trophy. Those doubts were however put to bed when Arsenal beat Hull City to win the FA Cup and win their first trophy since they won the FA Cup in 2005. But at the same time, Wenger has overseen a period where Arsenal moved from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium and also ensured that the club qualified for the Champions League for 17 consecutive seasons....
Both the sides have started their Champions League campaign on a winning note with Napoli handing Borussia Dortmund a shock 2-1 defeat while Arsenal eased their way past Marseille. Benitez said: “We are going to play against a top side so we must show character, strength – but we must also show respect to a team that is top of the league and playing very well. “I am expecting a strong team because I think Wenger is the top coach in the Premier League, and then they signed top players so it is going well for them....
Arter was lucky not to have been sent off by referee Paul Tierney in the first half of the Premier League match at the Vitality Stadium, having lunged in on the Wales midfielder, who escaped unscathed. Pep: I hope Man Utd win Europa League While defending the intentions of his player, who got the ball before taking out his opponent, the Cherries’ boss did acknowledge Arter could have placed Allen in danger....
Symptoms of Toe Arthritis Arthritis symptoms may come and go or be persistent and debilitating. You may wake up one morning with pain and swelling in one or more toes, or you may notice a gradual progression of mild achiness to increasing discomfort and changes in the appearance of your toes over time. Your symptoms also will depend in part on the type or cause of your toe arthritis, but typically you will experience:...
Defining Artificial Intelligence The term AI is frequently applied, both correctly and incorrectly, to a wide range of programs and apps. It is usually used to distinguish “ordinary” programming from a type of programming that learns as it interacts. In theory, AI-based programs and apps are more human-like than ordinary algorithm-based programs and apps. The journal Business Horizons defines AI as “a system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation....
Shami took a hat-trick in the final over to earn India a dramatic 11-run win over Afghanistan in Southampton last Saturday. The paceman took 4-40 in his first match of the tournament after coming into the side in the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar - sidelined with a hamstring niggle. Shami is set to feature against West Indies at Old Trafford on Thursday, with no chances being taken over Bhuvneshwar’s fitness, and India bowling coach Arun says Virat Kohli is fortunate to have so much talent to call upon....
