Arsenal In Deep Crisis As Arsene Wenger On War Path With Top Players As Champions League Hope Slips Away


There is so much crisis going on with Arsenal FC as Arsene Wenger and some of his senior players could be on war path.

The Gunners dressing-room blame game erupted as Arsene Wenger gave up on the Champions League.

A dismal first-half display included two blunders by Petr Cech as the Gunners crashed to a fourth successive defeat for the first time since 2002.


Among boss Wenger’s cryptic responses to questions was a claim his side were “naked” and “looking for a shirt”.

But they were undressed by Brighton’s Lewis Dunk and Glenn Murray before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit back.

Skipper Laurent Koscielny, 32, claims Wenger must share the blame. Asked who was the guilty party, Koscielny said: “It’s difficult to say if it’s his fault or our fault. The players have responsibility on the pitch, the boss has responsibility, too.

“This boss gives his best for this club and he has done it for 20 years but it’s very difficult and we need to stay together and fight.


“When you play for a big club like Arsenal you need to be in the top four and I don’t know how but now we are in a bad situation.

“During the game we were not in control of our confidence and our individual quality.”


Wenger claims Arsenal have been left naked and exposed after having their pants pulled down yet again.

The Frenchman said: “When you are struggling for confidence, it’s difficult enough when you are wearing just the trousers.


“But when you are completely naked you have to find a shirt and try to get dressed normally again.

“The team needs more support at the moment but when you go through a tough period like this, the environment is always to put them further down.

“I can understand the frustration of the supporters.

“The negativity after losing the League Cup final, plus the fact that we’re not in a fantastic position in the league, has hit us hard.”

Angry travelling fans chanted: “We want Wenger out,” after a dreadful first-half showing at Brighton’s packed Amex Stadium.



But asked whether he was still the right man to turn things around, Wenger claimed: “Yes, because I’ve done it before.


“The quality of a manager is to try to shorten the crisis and I believe I can do that.”

Wenger claims uncertainty over his Arsenal future is not the reason his team are going to miss out on a top-four finish.

Yesterday’s defeat leaves Arsenal 13 points behind fourth-placed Spurs. And Wenger said: “We have to be realistic. The top four is nearly impossible — we are too far behind.



“We need two teams above us to collapse to qualify for the Champions League and I don’t see that happening.

“At the moment, my future is not my main worry. My biggest concern is to get Arsenal winning games again.

“But there is no uncertainty. The uncertainty is simply in the quality of our performance.”

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list.

Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Significance Of Moonsighting & Commencement Of Ramadan

Ramadan Daily Digest, which is an annual article on the stable of Naijaloveinfo with hashtag, #RamadanDailyDigest will be discussing briefly the significance of moonsighting and the commencement of Ramadan. Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days. The interesting thing about counting days is that the crescent (new moon) plays an important role. Therefore, the significance of moonsighting is the first consideration before starting the Ramadan fasting.  The question that could come up is why do Muslims co...
