The 24-year-old was named on France’s standby list for the World Cup after an impressive season with the Saints. Schneiderlin has played a key role in Southampton’s upward progress over the years and it’s no surprise to see him linked with the Gunners. With the rest of his teammates linked with a move away from the St Mary’s club, Schneiderlin has finally spoken out that one day he wishes to play for a great club....
Set in the fictional New England town of Arkham in the 1920s, the Asmodee Digital board game pits up to five players against the cosmic terrors of H.P. Lovecraft. Each player controls an investigator to fight off cultists and monsters, research clues, and try to hold on to their sanity in an effort to stop the emergence of an Elder God.

Travis Long, a photojournalist with The News & Observer, tweeted Saturday that about 11 “mostly-armed” individuals were protesting against the state’s measures to prevent the spread of the virus by marching through downtown Raleigh. During their demonstration, they visited a branch of Subway on Fayetteville Street—and Long posted four images taken at the restaurant in a tweet that has since been shared more than 7,000 times. One image shows a man with what appears to be an AT4 rocket launcher slung on his back as well as two guns in holsters on either side of his waist....

Going through training at a nearby Army Foundation College and rising through the ranks, she was posted to Afghanistan for five months in 2016. After returning from her tour of duty, Lax began work as an instructor recruiting other young people to the army before she was promoted to sergeant....
Arnaiz struck three goals in the Copa Del Rey last season with Ernesto Valverde’s men going on to lift the trophy, thrashing Sevilla in the final. But Arnaiz, 23, could not force his way into Valverde’s plans on a regular basis and he featured just once in LaLiga in a five-minute cameo off the bench. Leganes confirmed on Monday that Arnaiz has signed a five-year contract with the club, with a further €500k due in variables....
Postecoglou walked away from the Socceroos following Australia’s successful World Cup play-off against Honduras in November, and there is speculation that Football Federation Australia (FFA) has offered the job to Sydney FC boss Arnold. Arnold has dismissed the claims, while A-League champions Sydney FC reportedly warned FFA to stay away from the 54-year-old ahead of the 2018 World Cup. The former Australia international briefly took charge of the Socceroos following Guus Hiddink’s departure in 2006 – overseeing a disappointing 2007 Asian Cup campaign, while he handed Brighton and Hove Albion star Ryan his debut at the Central Coast Mariners....
“Statement game” is the most common one. Is that the label we should put on Nebraska’s home matchup Saturday against No. 22 Oregon (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC)? MORE: Big question for every top 10 team “This will be a great game for our team to see where we are against a team that is nationally ranked and has been a national team for quite a few years,” Nebraska coach Mike Riley said on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday....
In January, as Congress met to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s win in the Electoral College, supporters of President Donald Trump swarmed the Capitol grounds. Some rioters were able to enter the building, causing the electoral vote count to stop as lawmakers were forced to take cover. Gionet live-streamed his perspective of the event on the gaming website DLive. Gionet, labeled a white supremacist by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has been banned from several social media platforms including Twitter and YouTube....
Leonardo Jardim’s Ligue 1 leaders were faced with a 5-3 deficit from the first leg at the Etihad Stadium but Mbappe was to the fore in a blistering opening – breaking the deadlock in the eighth minute and having another strike ruled out for offside. Fabinho doubled Monaco’s advantage and, although Leroy Sane briefly had City heading through on aggregate, Tiemoue Bakayoko’s 77th-minute header sealed an unforgettable away goals triumph....
On 1 February 2013, this post got me started. Now, 364 days and 506 blog-posts later, how much has changed? Well, for one, we’re left with a less-than-satisfying transfer-window. Kim Källström looks to be by all accounts a fine, even inspiring man off the pitch even if he isn’t the kind of player who inspires fans to swoon at his on-field exploits. Don’t get me wrong. He looks to be a shrewd addition to the squad....
Twelve months can make a huge difference in sports and so it has turned out for Arsenal. From the fear of the worst to anticipating an overhaul; the Gunner faithful have trodden down the muddy streets of gloom and despair and are now ready to head towards victory lane. Gone are the “Wenger Out” banners, gone are the boo boys. They trust in “Le Professor” again. It all started on a fateful day in August last year when the Gunners agreed to a 43million fee with Real Madrid to bring German playmaker Mesut Özil to The Emirates....
The agreement, which is reportedly worth £300million over five years, becomes active from July 1, 2019. It is claimed the new deal will bring in double that which they have earned from Puma since 2014, although it is still less than the reported £75m per year Manchester United earn from Adidas. Arsenal’s last kit deal with the German sportswear giants was back in the 1993-94 season, two years before Arsene Wenger, the longest-serving manager in the club’s history, took charge....
The Ivory Coast forward arrived in a deal that could reach a reported €72million from Lille in the close season but has been limited to substitute appearances in wins over Newcastle United and Burnley. Gunners boss Emery has been reluctant to thrust the 24-year-old into action due to a lack of pre-season preparation at Arsenal. But Emery hinted a more prominent role is possible for Pepe against Liverpool as the only two teams with 100 per cent records in the Premier League face each other at Anfield....
The Gunners, meanwhile, set a a few records of their own, though it will make for grim reading for fans of the London side. The final saw City continue with the same stunning form they’ve showed all season, condemning their opponents to an embarrassing defeat at Wembley, with Arsene Wenger’s charges seemingly at a loss as to how to cope with the onslaught from Guardiola’s men. Goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva secured a 3-0 win for the Manchester side, their best-ever result in a cup final, while the opposite is true for Arsenal – it’s their biggest ever loss in a cup final....
Rangers want to sign Arsenal midfielder Marcus McGuane on loan in the January transfer window, according to The Sun . McGuane has made two substitute appearances for Arsenal in the Europa League this season and has also been linked with a move to Napoli.

At Elland Road, Arsenal went behind early on when defender Dan Lewis cleared the ball from in front of goal only for Hull player Jimmy Howieson to lob it right back in from a full 45 yards out. The embarrassment didn’t stop there, as Arsenal’s Eddie Hapgood could concede an own-goal. Down 2-0, it looked as if Hull would advance, especially as we struggled to find any kind of openings....
In case you didn’t know… Wenger is yet to decide on his future since ending his 22-year managerial stint at Arsenal at the end of the 2017-18 season. The Frenchman helped the Gunners to three Premier League titles, a record seven FA Cups and seven Community Shields during his time with the north London giants. The 69-year-old was often criticised for Arsenal’s lack of major titles in the last decade, which overshadowed the significant role he played as the club maintained their place in the top four for 20 consecutive seasons....
In case you didn’t know… The race for the Premier League’s ’top 4’ tightens up as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea secured all three points in the last round of fixtures. Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League table with 56 points, one point clear of Manchester United and three ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, who have a game in hand. The Gunners earned a reputation for consistently finishing in the top four under their ex-manager, Arsene Wenger and will be looking forward to repeating that fate in the guidance of their new boss, Unai Emery this term....
The Polish international, who put in quite the shift against Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup, is expected to be out for ‘some amount of time’ depending on his “pain threshold.” The midfielder has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for a while and even more so recently given Arsenal’s shock opening weekend loss to West Ham United. With Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, sending scouts to watch and report back on the midfielder at the UEFA Super Cup fixture between Barcelona and Sevilla....
