Arsenal Have Decided To Axe Wenger.. . You Won't Believe His Replacement Though


Arsenal fans and faithful have good news coming as Arsenal are considering sacking their long-serving and longsuffering manager at the end of the season. This consideration comes after the gunners were thoroughly humiliated at the hands of the cityzens in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday evening.

The Frenchman renewed his contract at the end of last season after Arsenal picked up the FA Cup at the expense of Premier League winners Chelsea, but while the 68 year old is willing to see out his contract in North London, Arsenal have other ideas.

The 2004 English Champions have been blown off course in the league table and will need a miracle to make the top four and failure to win the Europa league could bring an end to Mr.Wenger's 22 year reign.

Arsenal have spent the past 12 months planning for Wenger's replacement and have significantly   reduced the Frenchman's influence by appointing a new technical director. Joachim Low, Leonardo Jardim and former captain Mikel Arteta have all been touted as possible replacements but it's former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers who is in the leading to replace Mr.Wenger.

Jose Mourinho's Triumph Against Chelsea Spoke Volumes, But His Struggles Continue


Manchester United on Sunday evening recorded a second home victory over Chelsea (Mou's off and on ex) in less than a year. It was typical of the Blues who were champions of England to take the game to United and they didn't disappoint as Alvaro Morata rattled the woodwork in the 5th minute. Willian then started and finished off a sweeping counter attack in the 32nd minute.

Mourinho's red devils actually looked toothless in the first thirty minutes of the encounter with much credits going Alexis Sanchez for that. During the opening exchanges against a big rival United were anything but threatening.

The Comeback

Manchester United's big Belgian Romelu Lukaku managed to get behind Marcos Alonso and Andreas Christensen for a typical no.9 finish after a beautiful interplay between Martial six minutes before the break. Lukaku had clearly moved on from the reverse tie in November where he failed to have a touch of the ball in the opposition half. The former Everton marksman could have added more gloss to his performance on the day with a half volley but Thibaut Courtois'  fingertip save made sure the scores remained even.

Scorer Lukaku turned provider in the 75th minute when he 'danced' two Chelsea defenders to provide a cross which Messi Jesse Lingard nodded home from close range. The red devils held on to seal the victory with an improved second half, but that victory came with more questions than answers for Manchester United.. .

A Misfiring Sanchez

Sanchez had no impact against Chelsea

Aside Sanchez's cross for Lukaku's half-volley in the second half, the Chilean was largely anonymous in a game that was his biggest yet as a Manchester United player. Mourinho might be questioning his own decision to sign the two-time South American champion. Sanchez's arrival was supposed to herald 'a new beginning' for the 2013 Champions however the Manchester club have seen their form drop in the league. Sanchez's impact has been close to nothing and once again the signing has not gone Manchester United's way.

No Attacking Appetite

It is very clear that Jose Mourinho has fashioned his team for predominantly defensive approaches and it is saddening for the football world to see Manchester United play with such lack of belief. Anthony Martial before his substitution was not a threat though he assisted Lukaku in bagging the equalizer. A club like Manchester United should approach games with pride and with attacking mindset which was missing for large parts of the game.

OPINION : Three Reasons Why Harry Kane Needs To Quit Tottenham


Tottenham Hotspur endured their fifth draw of the season at West Ham on Thursday night. The Lily whites needed an 84th minute stunner from Heung-Min Son to cancel out Pedro Obiang's equally exceptional goal 14 minutes earlier. As much as Tottenham were the bookies favourites going into the game, the hammers had a right to feel two points lost after the final whistle was sounded. A Harry Kane goal could have stolen the points had he managed to score, well he did not neither could any of his teammates find a way past Adrian. Mauricio Pochettino's men now sit 5th in the Premier League table with 16 games left to play. Harry Kane's 18 league goals this season has not been enough to push Tottenham into the top four as we begin a fresh year. It is now due for the England striker to move on and this is why we think so.

1.TROPHIES .. .OBVIOUSLY

The past two seasons have seen Spurs push the league leaders 'hard'. Their rewards for this push has been third place (in the 2015/16 season) and Second (in the 2016/17 season). While Tottenham's flair and team set-up was admirable and indeed enviable in both seasons, they never genuinely looked liked they were going to win anything despite the supply of goals from Harry Kane. The former Leicester City attacker should take a cue from the likes of Robin Van Persie (Arsenal To Manchester United 2012) and Luis Suarez (Liverpool to Barcelona 2014) .

A striker of Kane's age should be in a team of 'stars' where there is collective effort and of course these are the ingredients necessary for lifting trophies.

2. FOR LONGEVITY 

Football is a physical game and its impact begins to tell as each player approaches the twilight of his career. It's been seen over the years that stress on young players begin to tell on their careers as the near their peak. This is why Harry needs to move to a club where his services wouldn't be solely and highly relied upon.

At a club where a young striker is the principal source of goals without any trophies to show simply adds a lot more pressure to the player as he ages.

3. SILENCE THE CRITICS

In the past we have seen players switch clubs and lose their scoring boots in the process. Kane is the focal point of Tottenham's game and it is safe to say most crosses are intended for the no.10. Whether Kane can pull his weight among the 'galacticos' or 'cashiticos' is anybody's guess.

However, the former Leicester City loanee can do us football lovers a collective favour by leaving Tottenham to a bigger club and actually winning the a trophy.
