Arsenal The post-Robin van Persie era has started very poorly for Arsenal in the Premier League with the Gunners managing only 15 points from 10 matches – their lowest total since Arsene Wenger took over at the club. Safe to say, they miss him. Podolski and Giroud, reasonably asked to carry the burden of replacing […]

Rio Ferdinand had a pretty bad year both on and off the pitch, and he hasn’t held back in letting his feelings known. So it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Rio got himself involved in ‘tshirtgate’. However, what did surprise a lot of people is that he defied Sir Alex in public […]
