Arsenal won the match against Stoke City, however, the horrific injury to fellow team mate Aaron Ramsey surely cast a shadow over the win.

After the match Wenger commented:

“I’m proud of our game because it was an unbelievable battle from the first minute. We needed to be tough and resilient to win.”

When asked about the injury to Welshman, Wenger said:

“I’m of course very sad because of what happened. We know it’s a bad injury. We have to transfer him to London tonight to see if he needs emergency surgery. We don’t know how long he will be out but it’s certainly long term.”

He also added:

“I’m not very happy with the tackle. We know what we are expecting, a battle everywhere, but we have now lost three players on horrendous tackles and I refuse to believe it’s always coincidence.”

Take a look at the horrendous tackle. Please view at your own discretion.

Manchester United fell to a 3-1 defeat against Everton on Saturday, even after taking a 0-1 lead through Berbatov.

United’s manager Sir Alex Ferguson commented:

“It was a bad result for us and at this time of the year you can’t afford results like that, but I don’t think we will panic because it has been a funny season. Teams have been losing points that you don’t expect so the very nature of the league suggests we still have a chance. But Tuesday is a massive game now.”

The Red Devils controlled the game a lot but were unable to force more goals. Ferguson said in retrospect that the mid-week’s Champions League game against AC Milan must have taken a toll on his team.

“Milan could have had an impact,”

he said.

“It is difficult to think that when you go through all the emotions and the pace and intensity and atmosphere of a game like Tuesday, you don’t lose something. Whatever it was, it was just too much for us today.”

“We had some good chances early on and we could have been two or three up. The equaliser changed the game a little bit. But it was the second half that let us down. Our second-half performance was very poor and when you are going for the championship you expect Manchester United to respond to the importance of the game.”

After days of speculations the verdict is out, John Terry has been asked to step down as the England Football Captain.

Fabio Capello took this decision and informed JT at a short meeting held at Wembley this afternoon. This decision doesn’t come as a shock to anyone since Terry had allegedly had an affair with Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend. Read here.

Capello had to take a firm stand in order to maintain stability in the team, which is the need of the hour with the World Cup right around the corner.

“After much thought I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry,”

said the Italian in a statement.

He added:

“However, I have to take into account other considerations and what is best for all of the England squad. What is best for all of the England team has inspired my choice and John Terry was notified first.”

Terry commented:

“I fully respect Fabio Capello’s decision. I will continue to give everything for England.”

Wigan have managed to seal the deal for the much coveted Crystal Palace striker, Victor Moses, for an undisclosed amount.

The 19-year-old has penned a three-and-a-half-year contract.

Moses said:

“To play in the Premier League is a dream and I want to thank Wigan for giving me the chance. I’m sad to leave Palace because they’re a great club and gave me my chance in football and I want to say thanks to everyone there. But I need to prove myself now at Wigan and I’m going to focus on getting in the team and doing well for my new club.”

Victor Moses

Victor had moved to England at the age of 11 after the murder of his parents in Nigeria.

Reportedly, Chelsea are looking for a Keeper to replace their number one goalie- Petr Cech.

Chelsea are keen to get a new keeper, due to Cech’s recent lack of clean sheets and some possibly costly mistakes during this season.

The Blues are targeting Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus) and Hugo Lloris (Lyons) as Petr’s possible replacements. There’s a slight doubt if the club can sign either of these keepers who can play in the Champions League this season. They may loan the keeper back to the club and sign a temporary keeper in the January transfer window.
