Historic penalty call made by VAR The highly-rated 20-year-old defender is spending this season on loan at MVV Maastricht along with new Gunners team-mate Kelechi Nwakali. Although game time has been hard to come by for O’Connor due to an early-season injury which saw him lose his place at right-back, he’s more than happy to gain valuable life experience at the start of what has the potential to be a promising professional career....

While Wenger is wary of ruling out a move for a centre-forward going into the final stages of the transfer window, he did say that any such move is extremely unlikely. “We have plenty of players at centre-forward. In England as soon as you have a problem, people want you to buy,” he said. “Unfortunately, I can give you some clubs that every time they lose a game they say they might need to buy more....

True, but with the recent economic slump and lingering travel jitters from 9-11, the longer exhibits also allow museums to cut costs. One or two shows a year cost a lot less to install, uninstall, insure and advertise than a half-dozen exhibitions. And as one museum official put it, “Museums need visitors, museums need money. More and more, politicians expect museums to be run like companies.” Neal Benezra, head of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, says that while the balance sheet is obviously a factor, “we are now more engaged with our collection....

The annual Army-Navy game is played on the second Saturday of December, the only game that weekend, so as not to share the national spotlight with other games. However, the final College Football Playoff rankings are set to be released the previous weekend, after the conclusion of conference championship games. And with Navy’s season not yet complete, they could miss out on one of those six New Year’s bowls....

Arnica can be applied topically to the skin as a gel. Oral forms are also available as teas, tinctures, and tablets. The anti-inflammatory ingredient in arnica is called helenalin. This compound is toxic when consumed. It can also irritate the skin if it is not diluted....

JACK NICKLAUS, LONGTIME FRIEND AND RIVAL “Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend. Arnold was someone who was a pioneer in his sport. He took the game from one level to a higher level, virtually by himself.” TIGER WOODS, FORMER WORLD NUMBER ONE “Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs....

Mobile police confirmed to USA Today on Thursday an arrest warrant on a third-degree harassing communications charge has been issued for Cousins. Cousins’ ex-girlfriend confirmed to the paper “a warrant has been signed.” The warrant stems from audio of an Aug. 23 phone call between Cousins and his ex-girlfriend, Christy West, which was obtained by TMZ Sports. West was heard speaking to another person she claimed to be Cousins, who told her he’d “put a bullet” in her head....

This collaboration, the first of its kind for both the Club and the fashion house, is officially unveiled for Arsenal’s Premier League match against Southampton on November 23, and will last for two seasons until 2015. Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s sales and marketing director, said: “We are delighted to welcome Lanvin to the Club as our official tailor. “The fashion house has a remarkable history and proud heritage and is an institution in its field having opened in 1889, only three years after Arsenal played its first match....

Former Arsenal captain Arteta is preparing to lead the Gunners out for the first time as head coach at Emirates Stadium against Chelsea on Sunday, having started his tenure with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth in midweek. The Spaniard is quickly seeking for a solution to arrest the side’s dismal run of form, which has left them 12th in the Premier League following Saturday’s matches. Arteta acknowledges there has been a lack of belief in the team of late - a crisis he does not expect Arsenal to suffer from with 13 top-flight titles and a record 13 FA Cup triumphs to their name....

“When I was at Manchester City,” Edin Dzeko mused after Roma’s 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, “I never scored against Chelsea, but I made up for that tonight.” And how! Dzeko struck twice in what was his 10th outing against the Blues, levelling the game with a thumping, first-time volley from a wonderful pass from deep from Federico Fazio before then heading the visitors into a 3-2 lead....

Losing out on a top-four finish was a bitter pill for Mikel Arteta and his players to swallow with their frustration deepened by their nearest rivals’ success. However, Arteta has looked to build a squad capable of mounting a renewed challenge on the domestic front this season, with Europe viewed as a bonus for the Basque coach. Arteta is under pressure to bring Champions League football back to the Emirates Stadium in 2023/24 and a Europa League title offers an extra route to his objective....

Barcelona were without Lionel Messi. Their side, having already qualified in first place, started without their talismanic star. The goal that got everyone talking was the Ousmane Dembele goal in the seventh minute after he completed an astonishing run and strike. However, despite his wonder strike against Tottenham, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde still believes that Dembele’s case has not being closed. Dembele was fined £90,000 for turning up late for training earlier in the week....

The attacking pair have only a year remaining on their contracts and the Gunners’ failure to qualify for the Champions League has cast their future into doubt. Sanchez has scored 29 goals in all competitions in an excellent season but continues to be linked with the likes of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, while Ozil has also been tipped to move on despite an inconsistent campaign affected by injury problems....

The 18-year-old forward had been linked with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal after he helped Monaco to the Ligue 1 title last season. Local media reported that Arsenal had made a bid of 123 million pounds for Mbappe, but Wenger denied that after his side beat Western Sydney with goals from Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Mohamed Elneny in front of 84,000 at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday....

Maitland-Niles was left out of the Gunners’ squad in their 4-2 win against Leicester City on Saturday, August 13, at the Emirates. He also failed to make the matchday squad when Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at Selhurst Park on the opening day of the new season on August 6. The England international is a product of Arsenal’s famed youth academy but has failed to make himself a regular starter since his promotion to the senior team....

The England international was forced to sit out of the Community Shield match on Sunday with an injury and Arsene Wenger, in his post-match interview, revealed that it would keep him out for “days”. But his return could be delayed after a suspected hairline fracture on his ankle could keep him sidelined for several months. And reports suggest that centre-back Gabriel, who was signed from Villarreal this January, had been responsible for the damage to Wilshere’s ankle after a robust challenge in training....

The theme of Arsenal’s topsy-turvy season has indeed been contracts. From Alexis Sanchez to Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs to Wenger himself, the campaign has been clouded by a sense of uncertainty over the future of both players and the manager before eventually transmitting itself on the pitch as results have worsened and confirmation that Europa League football will be played in north London next season - on the red side this time....

Already trailing the German giants 5-1, the Gunners entered the contest knowing that they had a continental mountain to climb. Arsenal fans stage Wenger protest Things started brightly as Theo Walcott fired them in front, but that would be as good as it got for a fanbase that had already aired their anger at Arsene Wenger prior to kick-off. Laurent Koscielny was sent off for bringing down Robert Lewandowski inside the box early in the second half, and the tide turned back in Bayern’s favour....
