    You realize this is just a rumor and they are also saying that it is likely Wenger's decision to step down or coach for at least one more season?

    Does not look good if your German Urgestein player is leading a player only meeting.

    Player only meetings aren't uncommon in sports though and point more towards players addressing teamwork and chemistry issues, not to blame the coach.

    Usually I agree but not this time, I think it should be time, if it drags out, it will just be a detriment to the team, well, Arsenal has been underachieving for years now.

    The years of Rockets mediocrity, hovering around 50% win percentage.



    Arsenal vs City game is to go ahead according to Sky Sports!

    Dude...he's an Arsenal fan. Let him enjoy the visions, thoughts and dreams of a new manager at the Emirates. Lol of cos it's always Arsene's decision like it's been for the past few seasons. I think the Arsenal fans probably know that by now and are resigned to hoping and praying Arsene decides to walk away. :D:D:D

    Anyway though, Jardim would seem to be a better choice for Arsenal than perhaps Ancelotti.

    German brehs, what say you about the reports of Hummels confronting Lewandowski?

    True?
    If so I'm guessing everyone is with Hummels on this?

    The story is true and players plus Heynckes said it's not a big deal, as practices can get heated a lot.
    If you follow the more minor football news, you hear about practice quarrels a lot and there's usually never been real consequences.

    That said, I still think Lewandowski is trying to leave Bayern (unless they sign a bunch of stars, as he often demanded in interviews) and that some players dislike him atm, so summer will be interesting.

    Lewandowski was already disliked at Dortmund. He is not really a team player. He is an awesome striker, but at 30, if we can get a ton of money for him, I would sell.

    Bordeaux's president was interviewed by BILD today, summary:

    Sees Malcom as a Costa+Robben mix. Their best player when it comes to goals and assists. Small but strong and difficult to stop. Left footed, good technique and pace.

    Bordeaux are aiming at a 50mil+10mil boni fee, Malcom is allowed to leave the club in summer. President lauded him for giving 100% effort for the club despite Bordeaux blocking transfers last summer.

    Didn't even know that Dieter Hoeneß is in the agency business now, but BILD saying he is well-known for his connections to Brazil and facilitated the negotiations with Malcom.

    Fiorentina captain Davide Astori died in his sleep (asummedly cardiac arrest) tonight. Terrible situation, leaves a 2yr old and a 2week old kid behind. :(

    All of today's Serie A games cancelled.

    City has been controlling Chelsea and the whole league honestly.

    Will be interesting to see how they do in the CL vs elite teams, Pep's style is risky af.
