Wenger calls for Fab answers

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has called on Barcelona target Cesc Fabregas to end speculation over his future once and for all. Fabregas' future at Arsenal has been the subject of intense speculation all summer with Barcelona openly coveting the signature of the Spain international.The 23-year-old is thought to have told Wenger he wants to rejoin his boyhood club before heading off to the World Cup with Spain.Arsenal have already rejected one bid from Barcelona for the midfield schemer and it has been suggested Fabregas will reiterate his desire to leave when he returns to the club next week.Wenger has remained adamant throughout the summer that Fabregas would stay at Emirates Stadium as he is under contract for another five seasons.The Frenchman refused to confirm or deny reports he met face to face with his captain on Friday, but stressed now it was down to Fabregas to put the record straight."In the last six months, this story has made our lives difficult," said Wenger."At the moment, what is important is that when Cesc comes back, that he comes out."For me, I have nothing more to add."The conversations with the players have to be private because I cannot come out every time I speak with a player."Arsenal have also been forced to contend with several Barca players claiming Fabregas wants to join the Spanish giants and Wenger is getting fed up with the transfer saga."They [Barcelona] certainly have a case to answer [on allegations of tapping up], but it is always the same - how can you prove it?" added Wenger."Puyol is responsible for his own statements, which is why I have said before, only Fabregas can clear the air when he comes back from holiday."I cannot master what is written in the newspapers, I can only master our decisions."Cesc has five years to go [on his contract] and that's it."The speculation does not stop - who can stop the speculation? Only Cesc, that is how I feel."We cannot go into a season where every day you re! ad about that."He has not played today, we have just played a football game and I sit here speaking about Fabregas."Wenger is insistent that Fabregas will not be going to Camp Nou as Barcelona have given up the chase for the player."Barcelona have given up for a long time. I told you yesterday that what will happen is that Fabregas will stay here," noted Wenger. Arsenal Specials. Click here to bet.

Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

Image
The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

Image
One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

Image
Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
