Like myself, I’m sure all Arsenal fans are wondering what exciting new prospects Arsenal will welcome to the Emirates next season. With two signings finished, one on the way, and many rumours hovering around, things are looking bright for next season. Lukas Podolski is an extremely exciting addition to the squad. Especially if he hits form, he could turn out brilliantly. Meanwhile, target man Olivier Giroud does what it says on the tin, which is to score goals....

Howard Webb has long been a controversial figure. The famous twitter picture of Howard Webb in a Manchester United jersey posted by Ryan Babel was a hit among the Liverpool fans but not so popular with the F.A. Webb was a key talking point in the game. In the first half he could have given Podolski and Sterling both a yellow while Monreal was also lucky not to have received a second yellow card....

The Frenchman did not take long to break the deadlock against Rapid Wien as he fired a long-range strike past Rapid Wien’s goalkeeper, Richard Strebinger, in the tenth minute.

Eddie Nketiah scored just before half-time to make it 3-0 for the Gunners....

Unai Emery who was seen animated in the opening minutes of the match was seen pretty calm in the later stage of the first half, urging his team to do damage control so that they can bounce back in the second half. And the calmness paid off. Emery’s substitutions were key as Arsenal didn’t allow Spurs to start the second half on the front foot and the forwards pressed hard to seize control....

Media reports said the player was asked to leave a London nightclub at 2am on Sunday, with the Daily Mirror newspaper releasing footage showing him speaking to police. “I have spoken to him (Wilshere),” Wenger told reporters ahead of Saturday’s London derby at sixth-placed West Ham United. “It looks to have been taken out of proportion a little bit. “There was no training session the next day. You can accept that sometimes the players go out when they are free the next day, it’s not easy when you’re well-known today to go out anywhere without creating some provocations....

According to Tuttomercatoweb, AS Roma manager Paulo Fonseca has been shortlisted for the Arsenal job. Fonseca’s Roma are currently fighting for a spot in Europe in Serie A this season.

Martial epitomises Man Utd’s incredible depth Reports in England on Thursday suggested that the Gunners were keen on landing the Italy international, who has scored 13 league goals for Torino so far this season, and had been quoted a £50m asking price.

The Wirral-born Dean, who is set to officiate the game between Arsenal and Tottenham at the Emirates on Sunday, has gained an infamous reputation with Gooners who believe that he may have an agenda against them. In the last 14 games that Dean has officiated Mauricio Pochettino’s team, 11 of those were Spurs victories, the Lilywhites were awarded five penalties during that time. He has earned a notorious legacy with Arsenal fans who have accused him of committing high-profile mistakes in recent outings....

The former England footballer will succeed Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham in the role as a figurehead of the sport in England.

Jack Wilshere opened the scoring against Norwich in October with one of the finest team goals seen in English football.

And, whether you an Arsenal supporter or vaguely follow the Premier League, you will have seen this goal a number of times in recent months....

But Israel is no longer willing to leave a lunatic fringe of the settler movement to pursue Kahane’s violent, anti-Arab vision.
