Tottenham Hotspur had a good season last year. They played the final of the UEFA Champions League. They also qualified for another season in Europe elite football competition. But things have not been rosy for the Lilywhites this season. They sacked the manager who led them to the Champions League final. Mauricio Pochettino was replaced by Jose Mourinho, but the fortune of the club has not changed. They have only managed 41 points in 29 Premier League games.

ARSENAL ADVANCE TO FA CUP FIFTH ROUND

Posted on by index

Arsenal have advanced to the next round of the FA cup and will now wait for the draw to know who their opponent might turn out to be. The premier league and any meaningful pursuit in it looks like a waste of time at this point but the Gunners will at least try to have their hand on a piece of silverware come the end of the season.


Bernd Leno is still getting used to the idea of shouldering such amount of responsibility and the fans will hope the German doesn’t turn to another Vito Mannone while young players like Saka and Ntekiah are now growing into the role of being useful when the team needs them most instead of waiting for the established stars as was seen in their last match against Bournemouth

Easy Game for Vito Mannone, Mcnulty Again Scores

Posted on by index

Vito Mannone will most probably be wishing that most of the games for the remaining of his career should be as easy as the match he played on last Sunday when the club of Minnesota United hosted the Columbus Crew in a match that ended by a score of 1-0 to the hosts. It was mostly one-sided match for the most part of the game, with Mannone not required to make even a single save throughout the match. In spite of their dominant performance, it took Minnesota United until the 70th minute to draw the first blood, but it was a simple case of when they would score and not whether they will score.

Blended emotions this past week for Sone Aluko, as Sone made an amazing start to the scoring of game only after 2 minutes far from home, but his side Beijing Renhe ended the game on the wrong side with a scoreline of 3-1 at the hands of Moussa Dembele who is the former midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur & his R&F team of Guangzhou. It has been a worrisome beginning to the season for Beijing Renhe. Just after 1st 10 games, they have found themselves at the bottom of the table with only 5 points in hand, but they are also just 2 points adrift. 2 games in a matter of some days for the Ludogorets view them getting into the final day of this season 1 point ahead of the title rivals i.e. CSKA Sofia. I have also mentioned the terrible discipline record in Bulgaria earlier, so most probably you would be forgiven for believing that Joey was one who was out on loan.
