Arsene Wenger has slammed Thierry Henry’s claim that Arsenal supporters have never been as angry as they were following their side’s shock defeat against Swansea. Arsenal’s challenge for the Premier League title suffered a major blow on Wednesday when they lost 2-1 at home to struggling Swansea just days after a damaging 3-2 defeat at Manchester United. Gunners boss Wenger saw his decision to replace Joel Campbell jeered by the frustrated fans inside the Emirates Stadium, with more boos ringing out at the final whistle. And ahead of Saturday’s crucial north London derby at Spurs, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who…
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola says he does not expect goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to leave the German champions any time soon. Guardiola will leave Bayern to take over Manchester City this summer, leading to reports this week that suggested the Premier League side were eager to keep him paired with Neuer in England. But the German international has three years remaining on his contract, and Guardiola said that City buying Neuer from Bayern was unlikely. “Manuel Neuer will be the goalkeeper at Bayern Munich for the next five, six, seven, eight or nine years,” Guardiola said. “That’s my hunch. I…
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Gareth Bale is finally fit to return for Saturday’s La Liga game at home to Celta Vigo. Bale, 26, has missed almost two months of action since picking up a calf injury in January — when he had been on a fine run of form, having scored 11 goals in his previous eight games. Madrid have had mixed results during the Wales international’s absence, doing well in the Champions League against Roma, but slipping out of contention in the La Liga title race after draws at Real Betis and Malaga as well…
Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello says Cristiano Ronaldo “maybe should have examined his conscience” before criticising his teammates after last weekend’s derbi defeat to Atletico Madrid, saying the Portugal star had missed two chances to score during the game. Real’s hopes of winning La Liga suffered a huge setback as they lost 1-0 to their local rivals at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, and Ronaldo defended his own form after the game by saying Los Blancos would be top of the table if his teammates were all at his “level.” The forward, who later said he had been referring to…
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri says the Premier League’s big clubs “should blame themselves” if they fail to qualify for the Champions League amid speculation surrounding a breakaway European Super League. Representatives from five established powers of the English game — Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United — met with the chairman of American company Relevent Sports Charlie Stillitano in London on Tuesday. The meeting was primarily about the preseason International Champions Cup (ICC) competition which is staged in the United States and Asia and organised by Relevent Sports, and the clubs have denied that any discussions took place…
Guus Hiddink has warned the Chelsea hierarchy that the squad needs greater depth if the Blues are to compete for the Premier League title while fighting for multiple trophies next season. Last month, former boss Jose Mourinho claimed that a lack of significant investment in his title-winning Chelsea squad during the summer sowed the seeds for the disastrous run of results and “palpable discord” that brought about his sacking in December. Hiddink has overseen a dramatic revival since returning to Stamford Bridge for a second interim spell, losing one of 15 matches in all competitions to lead Chelsea up to…
Fourth-placed Manchester City trail leaders Leicester City by 10 points with a game in hand. But with none of the top-four winning in midweek, Manchester United closed the gap at the top — moving level on 47 points with City while West Ham United are just a further point behind. And in such an unpredictable season, Pellegrini says any of the top six sides that puts a winning run together is capable of winning the title. He told a news conference: “In the whole season all the teams are losing a lot of points. That’s why I just said that…
Harry Kane says Tottenham are motivated by Arsenal’s struggles, ahead of one of the most significant North London derbies in history. Second-place Spurs host their neighbours on Saturday knowing a win would move them six points clear in the title race, significantly denting Arsenal’s hopes of a first Premier League crown since 2004 and leaving Spurs with a golden chance to finish as the top dog in North London for the first time since 1995. The North London clubs have played their last two league matches simultaneously and while both lost on Wednesday — Spurs at West Ham and Arsenal…
Louis van Gaal has rejected the notion that Marcus Rashford saved his job, instead saying the teenager epitomises the trust in young players that Manchester United fans should be thanking him for. There have been plenty of peaks and troughs at Old Trafford this season, with the 18-year-old’s remarkable breakthrough certainly fitting into the former category. Thrown in against FC Midtjylland after a warm-up injury to Anthony Martial, Rashford netted a brace to help United win that do-or-die Europa League clash. Another double a few days later in the 3-2 victory over Arsenal increased the feel-good factor and alleviated the…

Africa and the world should give thanks,” he added. Jonathan has earned worldwide accolade for conceding defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari after the March…
