Premier League On Indefinite Hiatus

The Premier League has announced that the 2019-20 season ‘will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so’.

The English top flight had initially hoped to resume on April 30 at the earliest, but that is no longer realistic due to the coronavirus pandemic not yet peaking in the UK.

This afternoon, it announced in a statement that the campaign had been placed on hiatus until ‘it is safe and appropriate’ to start up again.

It was acknowledged that the Premier League will not resume at the beginning of May – and that the 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so. Read more... (343 words, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)

Arsenal Need To Sell Before They Buy

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits difficult decisions will have to be made this summer in the transfer market.

Arteta Devastated After Arsenal Crash Out Of Europa League

Manager Mikel Arteta has revealed his hurt after Arsenal crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Olympiacos.

Youssef El Arabi’s goal in the dying minutes of extra time ensured it was the Greek outfit who advanced to the last 16 on away goals following a 2-2 aggregate draw.

The Gunners struggled to get going and fell to a 2-1 defeat on the night, though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thought he had done enough to send Arsenal through when he equalised with an overhead kick in the second period of extra time, after Pape Abou Cisse’s header took the tie into an additional 30 minutes.

The Gunners came from a goal down to take all three points against the Toffees in a five-goal thriller at the Emirates Stadium to cap an impressive week, with three victories in the space of seven days.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring after just 51 seconds with an acrobatic strike before Eddie Nketiah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put the hosts in front. Read more... (288 words, estimated 1:09 mins reading time)

The competitive nature of the fixtures involving the Gunners and the Blues became more intense in the 1930s even though the teams had been meeting for more than 25 years. Read more... (825 words, estimated 3:18 mins reading time)

Mikel Arteta Praises Improved Mindset At Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has told his Arsenal players to enjoy the art of defending as the Gunners kept their third-consecutive clean sheet in a narrow Europa League victory at Olympiacos.

While the France striker wasted a couple of other decent chances to really wrap up the tie, Arteta will again be impressed with the defensive work of his players. Read more... (464 words, estimated 1:51 mins reading time)
