Arsenal suffered a humiliating Capital One Cup defeat to Bradford last night (unless you read Metro). Hapless striker Gervinho kindly offered to take as much of the pressure as possible away from his team-mates with this outstanding moment of individual failure. £10.8million of striker right there, people.
It seems that the Arsenal superstar Robin van Persie is struggling to focus entirely on his
football. He does not look like the same player we see in an Arsenal shirt every week. The reason
for this could be his indecision over his future. The Metro reports today that Juventus have sent
Pavel Nedved to [.
This must qualify as one of the most ridiculous Arsenal transfer rumours that I have ever read in
my life! Our good friends at the Metro have decided to give all Arsenal fans a laugh this morning
by reporting that the Man City manager Roberto Mancini has not been very impressed with Cashri's
contributions this [.
Wojciech Szczesny has revealed that, while on nights out, several of the Arsenal players have
taken to using John Terry's name as a code word for ladies unpleasing to thine eye, e.g , 'would
you just look at John Terry over there, face like a bucket of smashed crabs.

FC Basel defender Aleksandar Dragovic has claimed that a
number of big European clubs, including Arsenal FC, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund
and Olympique de Marseille want to sign him in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal chasing young Leicester defender by AM Arsenal have joined the race to sign talented young
defender Liam Moore from Leicester City according to Metro. Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and
Manchester United have already been tracking the youngster's progress for some time now. But now
United and Arsenal are considered to be favorites to land [.
We've already seen that Spurs have been strongly linked with Rennes' French international
midfielder Yann M'Vila but it's also being claimed that the club had another defensive midfielder
watched at the weekend.
24 year old Toulouse player Étienne Capoue was in action against Montpelier the night before
scouts supposedly watched M'Vila but the story which seems to have originated from the Metro
newspaper may be wide of the mark in claiming that Capoue is the club's top target.
Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen has slammed the Dutch club for not only complicating his impending
transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, but also for leaking sensitive financial details without his
consent.
The two teams agreed a transfer fee of £9.5 million for the 25-year old Ajax captain, who was
voted as the Dutch Footballer of the Year last season.
The press seem to think that one of the more vulnerable players in the Spurs squad right now is
American international Brad Friedel. While Harry was known to favour older goalkeepers throughout
his managerial career, a new boss may come in and start the quest for a long term replacement
straight away.
News in the Daily Mail and Metro this morning, that Alan Pardew will meet Demba Ba this week inÂ
Newcastle,. to find out what his intentions are in the summer. Demba Ba Newcastle seek an answer
this week on his intentions The Senegal International has been linked with moves to both
Tottenham and Galatasaray, and Newcastle are keen to find out what the [.
The chances of newly relegated Blackburn Rovers being able to persuade Junior Hoilett, their
21-year old Canadian star are wafer thin. The player is free to leave and according to the Metro he
is being pursued by Tottenham and German giants Bayern Munich as well as the Gunners. Rovers
manager Steve Kean will offer the [.
Liverpool is interested in bringing prolific Eredivisie striker Luuk de Jong to Anfield this summer
in a deal worth a reported £12.5million.
The FC Twente star has been on Kenny Dalglish's radar for some time and the Reds boss believes he
could be a good addition alongside top scorer Luis Suarez, according to Metro.
The footballing platitudes have come out since yesterday's defeat against Norwich and our goal
scorer from that game has urged his team mates to push for the last few games.
Jermain Defoe was quoted in Metro as he looked to the challenge ahead.
‘I think it's important to regroup now and everyone has to stick together.
Every soccer-crazy kid has the same dream – you're on holiday kicking the ball around and a
scout from a big club scouts you. For for ten-year-old Aisha Saini of Scotland, that dream came
true while she was in Spain on a summer vacation with her family.
Now it isn't that rare to sign a very young player on the chance they blossom into the next
Messi, who was signed at the ripe age of 13 by Barcelona after years of playing in Argentina.

I Rossoneri hanno battuto il Olimpia del Honduras 3-1 in un

nel primo tempo.
The Metro newspaper demonstrated just how unhappy Liverpool fans are with their horrendous new
third kit... by anonymously quoting an Everton fanzine. When Skies Are Grey is a popular Toffees
fanzine which has been around since 1988. But today's Metro describes it as a "disgruntled
Liverpool fan". A Metro journo was obviously trawling Twitter for [.
Liverpool have been named as one of the clubs interested in signing former Chelsea forward Salomon
Kalou by the manager of German side Schalke.
Huub Stevens has stated that Liverpool are in the running to sign the Ivory Coast international,
but he is confident of bringing him to Schalke as he believes he wants to leave the Premier League.
Liverpool have joined the race to sign Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez, reports the
Metro.
Martinez has a growing list of suitors after impressing for both club and country in recent years,
and was an integral part of the Bilbao team that knocked Manchester United out of the Europa League
earlier this month.
Here we have former Chelsea, QPR, Huddersfield, Sheff Wed, Brighton, Swansea, MK Dons, Wycombe,
Rushden & Diamonds, Thrasivoulos Fylis, Hamilton Academicals, Queen of the South, Coleraine and
current Glentoran striker Leon Knight taking us through a highlight reel of his best moments.

So we've enjoyed the first week of MLS regular season football. There were some surprises -- oh
who am I kidding? To be honest, this is pretty much exactly how I expected it to go. I could've
posted this last week and the rankings wouldn't change one bit. And yes, I'm totally serious. Okay,
maybe not.
The Philadelphia Union announced today that the team had officially signed goalkeeper Chris
Konopka to a contract. Per MLS and team policies, Konopka's contract facts and figures were not
released.
Konopka, 26, has spent time with Sporting Kansas City, the Columbus Crew and the New York Red
Bulls during short stints in MLS.
But in Turkey, France and Russia it remains open as anyone who was following the incredible Hulk
to Zenit St Petersburg deal or the less interesting Raul Meireles to Fenerbahce story will
know.
That could yet mean that one of the fringe members of the squad will leave and there are stories
emerging this morning that Tom Huddlestone could still make a loan move out of the club.
Metro are reporting this morning that FC Twente boss Steve McClaren is trying his best to keep
his 24 year-old Brazilian center-back Douglas at the Dutch club. Douglas on his way to Newcastle?
There was news in the Daily Express yesterday that Newcastle had agreed a fee of £5M for the
player who is now a Dutch citizen, and that news had been [.
Uno nunca deja de sorprenderse de la afición de Tigres. Poco más de 10 mil aficionados adentro
del estadio abarrotando toda la zona de general en el último entrenamiento de cará al clásico 95
de mañana. Jóvenes, niños, familias enteras compartiendo el mismo sentimiento de apoyar al
campeón.
Not to be outdone by the Greek fans who set the Athens derby on fire over the weekend, Spartak
Moscow and CSKA Moscow supporters fought each other on Monday while riding escalators. Unlike the
Greeks, they at least waited until they reached the metro after CSKA won the derby 2-1.
As the rival supporters rode the packed escalators, tensions rose and it turned into a vile and
unbelievable scene as grown men climbed and jumped from escalator to escalator to fight each other
between a mass of bystanders.
The winning bidder in an auction for a training session with Didier Drogba has offered to donate
the prize to the player's misfiring Chelsea team-mate Fernando Torres. The lot was up for grabs at
the Didier Drogba Foundation charity ball on Sunday evening. The highest bidder shelled out
£15,000 to secure the training session with [.
