... more than Rangers right now ahead of a daunting Old Firm derby. The Gers come up against a Celtic side on a 22-match winning streak in the Scottish Premiership, with their task made no easier by the lack of a full-time manager. Pedro Caxinha and Gary Rowett are the favourites to take over from interim boss Graeme Murty, but could Claudio Ranieri, who made a mockery of Leicester's 5,000/1 price to win the Premier League, defy the odds again and take over at Ibrox. With an FA ban for alleged violent conduct and a penalty miss hanging over Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he may not be the flavour of the month but it's hard to refute his influence at Old Trafford. Could Zlatan Ibrahimovic claim this year's Ballon d'Or. The Swedish star has scored 15 goals in his first season in the Premier League, a tally made all the more impressive given his side are the lowest scorers in the top seven. However, while ...

The Soul-crushing Nature Of Following Arsenal Has Sapped Fans Of Even Their Anger

... trophy contention in the big competitions is right about the time when Arsenal traditionally begin to turn it around and make their annual push back up the table to regain their natural place in fourth. Troopz has been on this ride before though, and claims he will not be fooled again by an end of season uptick in form and its illusionary promise of rewarded faith in the future. But that’s how these relationships always go, isn’t it? They build you up, break you down, and right when you think you’ve finally had enough, they return with a couple positive gestures and promises of change, eventually winning you back over against your better judgement. It’s a pretty safe bet that come September, Troopz will be right back where he was last fall, standing in front of Robbie’s camera all excited—cautiously ...

Alexis Sanchez Laughs On Arsenal Bench In Defeat To Bayern Munich

... and sent a jaunty wave towards the fans which was returned with applause. Arsenal's top scorer thanks supporters after being replaced by Lucas Perez after the break. The Arsenal forward shares a laugh with substitute goalkeeper Petr Cech after coming off. Sanchez's performance was reminiscent of Eden Hazard in the final days of Jose Mourinho. By the time Bayern moved into double figures, Sanchez was laughing on the bench with Petr Cech. Not a crime, but not a good look. This is not how team spirit is generated. The rot has set in.

Arsenal Have To Overcome Collective Timidity When Pressure Begins To Grow

... in Europe. “It’s a shock to take,” he said. The loss of Laurent Koscielny to an injury early in the game robbed Arsenal of any defensive composure and from there they buckled. This habit of having whole halves of football that are well below par has been extremely costly. “You can miss 45 minutes and we paid for it,” Wenger said. “So we have to show 90 minutes of commitment. We finished top of the group, PSG finished second and they beat Barcelona 4-0. Why? Because Barcelona missed their game [in Paris] completely. Everything is a negative at the moment. Basically, the teams that have gone out in the group stage are happy, but we have gone through and we are in crisis.”. Regaining some pride against Bayern would be a stepping stone and Sánchez is expected to be back in the starting ...

Why A $1 Trillion Endeavor To Modernize The Us Nuclear Arsenal Could Get More Bipartisan Support

... than the Russian arsenal. Moreover, he contends that more of the U. S. nuclear arsenal would survive than the Russian arsenal if the U. S. attacked the Russians first. However, the Carnegie nuclear policy expert said with all the proposed spending on large-scale modernization across the nuclear triad there's still need to "prioritize" spending. In particular, he said more focus should be placed on command and control systems, including satellite and other communication systems with nuclear forces as well as how the military gets early warnings of an incoming strike. Acton estimates approximately $100 billion in savings alone could be achieved from the nuclear weapons modernization program. He calls the Minuteman ICBMs, or the land-based missiles in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, probably the "least useful leg of the triad.". "I wouldn't rip those weapons out of the ground tomorrow. But I would suggest taking a new look at whether the life of those systems could be extended," he said. Additionally, the Carnegie analyst said the U. S. military should decide between updating the nuclear gravity bomb or a new nuclear-armed ...

I know the Arsenal fans are passionate but I don’t like the way some of them treat Arsène Wenger. Cowley looks at me intently when asked how he would feel if Alexis Sánchez starts the game on Saturday – rather than sitting on the bench. “I’d love to see Sánchez from the start.

Arsenal 1-5 Bayern Munich

... Stadium. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain impresses before Arsenal's capitulation. Where has this Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain been all season? Not for the first time against Bayern, playing in a central role, the England star was sensational, well as sensational as you can be in a 5-1 loss.
