The Germany international has been ruled out for up to three
months and the Frenchman is adamant the playmaker will
follow the Gunners' advice as he recovers
Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will set Mesut Ozil’s recovery
timetable after the playmaker reported back from international
duty with a serious injury.
Ozil has been ruled out for up to three months with a ligament
tear in his left knee, after an assessment whilst with the
Germany national team.
But Wenger says that Arsenal’s own specialist is advising the
club on how to deal with the problem, as they look to guide
Ozil back to fitness as soon as possible.
“When he arrived with the German national team, they didn’t
think it was a lot at the start,” the manager said. "He was
supposed to practice on Wednesday but, in the end, he said
that wasn’t possible for him.
“Then he had a scan and it was bad news. We have our own
specialist giving us his opinion after reading the scan and
examining Mesut. We will follow our own recommendations.”
Arsenal have been hit by a number of injury setbacks this
season but Wenger has revealed that Theo Walcott and Serge
Gnabry are both close to making their first-team comebacks,
while Aaron Ramsey is eight days away from returning to
training.
“Theo is not too far away now,” said Wenger. “Serge has
been out for a long, long time and Theo has also been out for
nine months, so it’s good to see them back. They’ve worked
very hard and they’re very dedicated. They are back in the
group on a daily basis and that’s very good news.
“For Ramsey it's day 13 today and I think it will be day 21
before he is back into training. Arteta may be back with the
group late next week.

Barcelona would not be allowed to play in La Liga if
Catalonia broke away from Spain, the president of the Liga de
Fútbol Profesional, Javier Tebas, said as tensions mounted in
the region over the possibility of an independence referendum
next month.
The present Barcelona board, first under the former president
Sandro Rosell and now Josep Maria Bartomeu, have taken a
back-seat role in the heated debate taking place in the region
about whether to hold an independence referendum on 9
November.
In the event that Barcelona did leave La Liga it would severely
weaken the image of the competition at home and abroad.
Similarly it would be hard to imagine Barça and their local
rivals Espanyol competing in a Catalan league, which would
have many semi-professional teams.
“If Catalonia became independent, taking into consideration
the Sports Law that would be enforced by the rest of Spain ,
Barcelona wouldn’t be allowed to play,” Tebas told a sports
conference in Barcelona.
“There would have to be a change in the law made in the
Spanish parliament. Clearly if it happened, then it would be
detrimental for Spanish football to lose Barça who are an
historic club.
“I can’t imagine the LFP without Barça. In the same way as I
can’t imagine Catalonia without Spain, I can’t see La Liga
without Barça. Also if it did happen what would you call the
league: the Spanish League or the Iberian League?”
Barcelona supporters aligned with the former president Joan
Laporta are calling on the club to be more vocal in support of
the referendum.
Laporta, who was president from 2003 to 2010, wanted the
club to be at the forefront of Catalan nationalist politics, which
angered many fans, particularly those from other parts of
Spain who felt alienated.
The present board, though, are less committal. “It is a
sensitive subject and the club won’t get involved but the
president is considering making a statement in the coming
days,” said a Barça spokesman.
Xavi and Gerard Piqué, however, are among the Barça players
who have come out in support of a referendum, following a
September rally in Barcelona in favour of the vote, attended by
1.8 million people according to the police.
“We have all the right in the world to vote,” Xavi said. “We
need to vote, we need the people to show their opinions and I
am in favour of the referendum obviously.”
He and Piqué were or are Spain internationals and the latter
says that he still gives his all when playing for La Roja. “I am
Catalan and I wanted to take part in the rally,” Piqué said. “I
went with friends to have a good time with the other 1.8
million that were there.
“There is no need to doubt me. I have played for the national
team for 11 years and it is something different to be in favour
of a referendum which is democratic. People should have the
right to vote and this has nothing to do with the other.

The Real Madrid forward claims he is not bitter about being
portrayed as the yin to the Barca attacker's yang and
suggests he has been at the same level for several years
Cristiano Ronaldo sees his rivalry with Lionel Messi as a
positive and sees nothing wrong with being compared to the
Barcelona attacker.
The Clasico rivals have been pitted as opposing world-class
forces within Spanish and European football for over half a
decade.
Ronaldo has got the better of Messi so far in 2014, having
won the Champions League, Copa del Rey and Uefa Super
Cup with Real Madrid as well as individual accolades with the
Ballon d'Or and the Golden Boot.
"This is part of my life," Ronaldo told World Soccer when
asked what his thoughts on the rivalry with Messi are. "It is
normal that people compare us. I am used to it. It happened
to me at Manchester United and I know how to manage it.
"We are football colleagues. Outside of football I have no
relationship with Messi, but not with other players either. It is
a positive rivalry."
The 29-year-old, who shared the Golden Boot with then-
Liverpool forward Luis Suarez (now also a Barca player) after
scoring 31 goals in La Liga, suggests the last 12 months
might just have been the best of his career prize-wise but
does not believe his own ability has shot up significantly.
"Individual prizes are the result of having achieved collective
objectives," Ronaldo added. "We had a fantastic season. We
won the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Uefa
Super Cup.
"A trophy like the Golden Boot is the prize for playing well as
a team. I will not lie. I really wanted to win it.
"Maybe it has been the best for collective or individual prizes.
But I have been at the same level for the last six or seven
years."
Ronaldo will find out who he is up against as he bids to
retain the Ballon d'Or he took from Messi in January on
October 28
. The duo will next come up against each other three days
earlier when the Santiago Bernabeu plays host to Luis
Enrique's men.

Cristiano Ronaldo has grabbed a whopping 13 goals in just
seven La Liga fixtures. A tally this high has not been seen at
this stage since the 1943/1944 season.
Back then, Real Oviedo striker Esteban Echevarría managed
14 goals in the first seven matches, a feat that has never been
repeated since. With his heroics Ronaldo has emulated Pepe
Vilanova, who bagged 13 for Hércules at the beginning of the
1939/40 campaign.
Right now Ronaldo is a record-breaking juggernaut and isn't
giving anyone else a chance in the race for this year's Pichichi
award for the league's top scorer. Both Neymar and Leo
Messi were on the scoresheet against Rayo Vallecano, but
CR7 took less than 24 hours to respond with another hat-
trick.

The new Old Trafford boss prepares his side for the visit of
Everton this weekend, with the squad completely ripped up
from the team that lost 1-0 to the Toffees last season
He was only sacked in April but many at Manchester United
could be forgiven for already forgetting that David Moyes was
ever in charge at Old Trafford.
Just about the only reminder of the Scot’s disastrous 10
months in charge is the display in United’s museum that
continues to erroneously describe Moyes as the club’s
current manager.
While there were signs that Moyes’ reign was doomed from
the very start, the realisation that he was the wrong fit for
United started to really hit home last December when his
former club Everton won at Old Trafford for the first time in 21
years.
That result - something Moyes never came close to achieving
in more than a decade with the Toffees - came to embody a
season that United would rather wipe from history.
Indeed, as United prepare to face Everton at home on Sunday,
the de-Moyesification of United could not be any clearer.
From the team that started last season, only two players -
David de Gea and Rafael - are expected to feature in Louis
Van Gaal’s starting line-up this weekend.
Moyes is gone. So too are Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Shinji
Kagawa and Danny Welbeck from that team, while Ryan
Giggs has retired and is now working on the bench as Van
Gaal’s assistant.
Throw in Wayne Rooney’s suspension, a few injuries and a
slew of summer signings and Everton will line up against a
side they won’t recognise from last season.
Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind, Luke Shaw,
Marcos Rojo and Juan Mata have all arrived since last
December and will start on Sunday, while another new
signing Ander Herrera would play were it not for a rib injury.
At the back, United have lost their experience and Van Gaal
has confirmed that Patrick McNair will make his second start
to partner Rojo in the middle of a defence that has continued
to look suspect since the Dutchman’s arrival.
Darren Fletcher should come into midfield despite Marouane
Fellaini’s return to fitness.
Fellaini is the player at United most attached with Moyes
having followed him to the club from Everton for an absurd
€32 million. When the Belgian is sold - and Van Gaal would
be more than happy to cash in - it would perhaps represent
the final removal of any remnants of the former Everton
boss’s spell in charge.
Van Gaal has implemented a number of changes off the pitch,
too. The Dutchman's approach to pre-season training differed
greatly from Moyes's, allowing the likes of Robin van Persie -
who has struggled severely with injuries during his career -
an extended break after the World Cup to slowly rebuild his
fitness.
Van Persie has been allowed to return to his own tailored
fitness regime, abandoned under Moyes, while cameras have
been installed on the training pitches at Carrington to assist
in the analysis of each individual player's performance and
development.
Exercise bikes have also been installed in the rooms of the
team hotel to aid warming up and down after sessions. Van
Gaal's approach to training has proved progressive and
popular, and the Dutchman has left his stamp on the club
already, with results slowly beginning to improve.
Moyes barely had enough time to make a mark on United, let
alone leave one.
His squad has been airbrushed just as his face was from the
club’s season ticket renewal brochure last season.
Around United’s Carrington training base, there are no signs
that Moyes was ever around, not even small reminders of
changes he implemented, not even a photograph on the wall.
The club have spent big to correct the mistakes made
following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement - not just the
appointment of Moyes, but a terrible 2013 summer transfer
window when they failed to land any of their main targets.
Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward says the club are
preparing for a third-placed finish this term to ensure that last
season’s miserable campaign goes down as no more than a
one-season blip.
And it turned out that Moyes was the new Wilf McGuinness
after all. He failed to step into the shoes of a legendary United
manager and is rapidly becoming the forgotten man.

The Arsenal manager admits that he pushed his Chelsea
counterpart "a little" but has no regrets over the incident and
feels that the Blues could have had players sent off
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits that he pushed
Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho "a little" during their
Premier League clash on Sunday but has no regrets over his
behaviour.
Laurent Koscielny, Calum Chambers and Danny Welbeck were
all arguably fortunate not to be given their marching orders
by referee Martin Atkinson during a 2-0 victory for the Blues,
while Gary Cahill's aggressive challenge on Alexis Sanchez
sparked an altercation between the two managers on the
touchline during the first half.
Wenger entered Mourinho's technical area and laid his hands
on the Portuguese's chest before Atkinson called both
coaches over to calm tempers.
The Frenchman explained his actions in a post-match press
conference and was unequivocal in his response when asked
if he regretted the incident.
"No," he replied. "What is to regret after that?
"I wanted to go from A to B and somebody confronted me in
between without any sign of welcome. B was Sanchez, to see
how badly he was injured. Honestly, I don't listen to what
[Mourinho] says."
Wenger conceded that he had pushed Mourinho "a little" and
felt that some of Chelsea's players were perhaps fortunate not
to be sent off.
"I think Oscar was lucky to stay on the pitch with the repeated
fouls he made," he argued. "He got a yellow card in the 88th
minute and he was purposefully fouling on every break.
[Branislav] Ivanovic as well. There were some bad fouls but
that's down to the referee, it's not down to me."
Defeat saw Arsenal's unbeaten start to the league campaign
come to an end but Wenger feels that there was little to
choose between the two teams.
The Frenchman added: "It was down to the little things that
were on their side but it was a very even game.
"If you look at the number of saves our keeper had made, you
find nothing, and theirs as well - so the game was about who
can take advantage of an opportunity. We couldn't score and
they did so, at the end of the day, you have to say yes,
[Chelsea were more ruthless].

Cristiano Ronaldo is now the highest scorer in history for Real
Madrid against Athletic de Bilbao.
Following his hat trick at the Bernabéu, the Portuguese star
has scored 14 goals against Athletic Bilbao since he arrived in
Madrid. Behind him in this list come Ferenc Puskas, Hugo
Sánchez and Raúl González, with 11 each.
However, Ronaldo is not the highest scorer of all in matches
between the two clubs. That honour goes to Telmo Zarra,
who scored a total of 16 goals for Bilbao against Real Madrid
in the Spanish league in the forties and fifties.

Between them, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano
Ronaldo have scored in eight consecutive games. In five of
them, at least two members of the trio have found the back of
the net.
Their all-time record from last season is 15 matches in a row,
and they are looking to go one step closer to that mark
against Athletic.
They have netted 22 goals between the three of them in 11
games, accounting for 73% of Real Madrid's goals at this
juncture. If they can keep this up and Real play 60 competitive
matches as they did last campaign, the BBC are on cue to
score 120 times by the season's end. This would represent a
veritable goalfest which few teams in history can boast of.
Their European stats are even more breathtaking. Since the
lethal party was formed last season, they have produced
33 of the team's 46 goals in Europe, including five of the seven
scored this season.
They have an opportunity to continue to augment their figures
as a unit against Athletic. And individually, Ronaldo has the
chance to extend an impressive streak. He has scored in his
last seven games, and has not failed to score at home in La
Liga for over a year, since the 1-0 defeat at the hands of
Atlético. Since then he has strung together 13 consecutive
home league appearances on the scoresheet.

Barcelona's unbeaten start to the La Liga season continued
with another clean sheet performance in a 2-0 victory over
Rayo Vallecano in front of a boisterous home crowd at the
Estadio de Vallecas in Madrid.
Lionel Messi and Neymar scored in rapid-fire succession in
the first half to provide all of the offensive output for the
Catalonians who remain unbeaten in La Liga. Barcelona also
became the first team to start a La Liga season with seven
straight clean sheets.
Manager Luis Enrique made several changes form the
midweek loss to PSG including a return of Xavi to the starting
XI as the veteran joined up with Sergio Busquets and Andres
Iniesta to give the Barcelona midfield an old school feel.
Neymar, Lionel Messi and Munir lined up in attack while in
the back Dani Alves, Gerard Piqué, Marc Bartra and Jeremy
Mathieu were in charge of protecting goalkeeper Claudio
Bravo.
Rayo came out full of energy and had the first serious chance
of the match in the ninth minute as Bravo was called upon to
make a save on an Alberto Bueno shot across goal that the
Chilean stopper had to dive to redirect outside the far post.
Bravo then earned himself a slice of history in the 21st minute
as he set a record for the most consecutive minutes without
conceding a goal to start a season, surpassing Pedro Artola's
old mark of 560 minutes.
After having a goal annulled earlier due to offside, Messi
would not be denied in the 35th minute when he ran onto a
Piqué long ball, headed it down to himself and then played a
delicate chip over the head of Rayo goalkeeper Toño. The goal
was Messi's 249th La Liga goal, drawing the Argentine within
two of Telmo Zarra's all-time record.
Before Rayo could even collect themselves, Barcelona would
strike again a minute later to make it 2-0. It was done in a
similar fashion, this time a long ball played over the top from
Busquets that found Munir who did well to hold off two
defenders before playing a ball to Neymar. The Brazilian then
took care of matters by sweeping a shot back across Toño
and into goal to quiet the raucous Vallecas crowd.
The third goal was there for the taking for Barcelona just three
minutes from halftime but 19-year-old Munir, with a one-on-
one with Toño and Neymar all alone on the left, elected to go
for goal by himself and clumsily flubbed his chance, much to
the dismay of the Brazilian who casted a long stare across at
his younger teammate.
Like in the first half, Rayo was first to threaten in the second
stanza and Barcelona needed another big stop from Bravo to
avoid being scored on. Leo Baptistão’s right-footed rocket in
the 58th minute was barely tipped over the crossbar by the
former Real Sociedad netminder to keep the score at 2-0.
Rayo's job got much tougher in the 60th minute when
defender Jorge Morcillo received a second yellow card to
reduce his side to 10 men. Barcelona took full control of the
match at that point and had numerous chances to add a third
but lacked the finishing touch.
Barcelona will now pause for the upcoming international
break and will not return to action until October 18th when
they host Eibar.

The Real Madrid boss says it would not be fair to expect the
Colombia international to fulfil the same role as the former
Blancos star
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says he cannot expect
James Rodriguez to play like Angel Di Maria did when he was
at the club.
Di Maria left the Spanish capital in the summer to join
Manchester United for €75 million, while Rodriguez came in
from Monaco for €81m.
But Ancelotti says it is unfair to expect the Colombia
international to fulfil the same role.
"James is not Di Maria," the 55-year-old told reporters. "He
is a different player with different qualities.
"I'm going to use him for that reason, not because I expect
the same from him.
"Both players have different technical characteristics. I'm
happy with him and he is focused on the job he has to do.
He's doing well and will get better," he added.
The midfielder was rested for the Blancos' last game, a 2-1
win over Ludogorets in the Champions League, but Ancelotti
confirmed that he will star in their next fixture - in La Liga
against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

The Ivory Coast international scored his first Premier League
goal of the season to help see of Aston Villa and feels he has
been giving his all for the cause
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has reacted to
criticism of his recent performances, and has insisted that he
is only a man and not a machine.
The Ivory Coast international again struggled to make an
impact for the Blues against Aston Villa before scoring a fine
solo effort to break the deadlock in the 82nd minute.
And though Toure admitted he understands that he will be
scrutinised, he feels as if he has been performing to the best
of his abilities.
"For me, I'm keeping going. I've been playing for top sides in
Europe and I knew about this criticism. I just do my best and
try to help the team win again," he told Sky Sports .
"It's not so easy because you have to play every three days
and people have to understand I'm not a machine; I am a
man. But I have to keep going because all my team-mates
keeps going around me."
City's 2-0 at Villa Park win saw them move to second-place
in the Premier League table behind Chelsea and helped put to
bed some of the concerns fans had after they were held to a
1-1 draw by Roma in midweek.
And Toure revealed it had been difficult to bounce back from
their European disappointment and secure all three points on
the domestic front.
"I think today was a great win because we played against a
great team. In the first half it was quite difficult for us but in
the second half we did the job. It's a fantastic win.
"After the draw against Roma on Tuesday it was quite difficult
for us to come back.
"Full credit to Aston Villa, they played very well in defence but
in the second half we did the job.

The Gunners were destroyed 6-0 at Stamford Bridge last
season and Arsene Wenger has not won in 11 meetings with
Jose Mourinho - but there is hope
“It's one of the worst days in my career.” That was Arsene
Wenger in the aftermath of the 6-0 thrashing his side were
dealt at Stamford Bridge in March. The Frenchman remarked
that every Arsenal defeat left "a scar in your heart that you
never forget” as he approached that game - his 1000th and
the joint-heaviest defeat of his managerial career.
Arsenal must hope the scars of that March massacre ensure
fundamental changes as Wenger prepares his side for the
daunting task of heading to the league leaders on Sunday
afternoon.
This London rivalry has taken on a new lease of life since
Jose Mourinho’s return a year-and-a-half ago and the
Portuguese rarely appears to have as much fun as when he’s
winding up Wenger. Branded a “specialist in failure” last
season, Wenger has already had to endure taunts from west
London over the 10-year trophy drought he oversaw.
But there is a more up-to-date statistic Mourinho will be
looking to add to: In 11 attempts, Wenger still hasn't beaten
him.
In fact, even with Mourinho in Madrid, the Gunners haven’t
tasted victory over Chelsea for three years; not since the
ludicrously fun 5-3 win at Stamford Bridge in 2011 when
Robin van Persie ran amok. Surprisingly, Arsenal have only
scored two goals in the six meetings since then.
Petr Cech may have been demoted, while Ashley Cole was
allowed to join Roma, but the Blues brought Europe’s best
young goalkeeper in from the cold and, in Nemanja Matic,
have the best defensive midfielder in the top-flight protecting
the defence.
We are assuming Arsenal play into Chelsea hands; that they
front up to the Blues and persist with the philosophy that
regularly steamrolls the likes of Galatasaray. Games in front of
buoyant home crowds are different though, but would you
know it by analysing Wenger’s approach?
The Champions League last-16 second leg game against
Barcelona in 2011 was the last time Wenger sent a team out
to hold on to a lead. They countered where possible and
defended fastidiously on the edge of the box. It didn’t work,
but not because of the system, because of the outrageous
decision to send Van Persie off for kicking the ball away
(shooting a split-second after the referee’s whistle).
Arsenal were 2-1 up (3-2 on aggregate) at that stage and
looked set to eliminate Pep Guardiola's brilliant Barca. Since
then, results in games away at elite opposition are mixed.
There have been wins at Bayern Munich but heavy defeats to
Milan and Olympiakos. This season they've only beaten Aston
Villa on their travels, while last year saw the traumatic
thrashings at City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Up against
someone as shrewd as Mourinho takes away a lot of the
unknowing though. He gives no quarter.
The 64-year-old is wedded to his possession-oriented style
but Arsenal only picked up six points from 18 against the
other members of the top four last year (one win over
Liverpool, three draws). They haven’t won any of their
previous 14 meetings with Chelsea, City and Manchester
United and you'd be forgiven for thinking there is a
fundamental problem here.
With any luck, Wenger will have noted his team’s struggles
against the elite sides. The Gunners have become predictable
in their approach and deeply susceptible to teams who pick
off their neat triangular passes and counter quickly.
Yet this is where Arsenal can draw strength ahead of their trip
to Stamford Bridge. If last season’s 6-0 loss was memorable
for the speed at which Chelsea snatched possession and
launched raids on their exposed backline then this year should
provide a different test.
Mourinho’s side are growing into their billing as the team to
beat this season and place emphasis on dictating games
rather than pouncing on mistakes - bar the 1-1 draw at
Manchester City. But the days of backs-to-the-wall defending
and countering at speed appear reserved for only the toughest
away games.
Their transitions remain impeccably precise and dynamic, as
Andre Schurrle’s goal at Manchester City attests, and that will
be a danger to Per Mertesacker & Co, but there are
opportunities for Wenger if he springs a tactical surprise of his
own.
The worry though is whether wily old Mourinho will let
Wenger have his way. The master tactician has seen it all
before. He’s never lost to Wenger and knows exactly how to
dismantle a bold Arsenal. He will happily scrap the blueprints
for another three points, no matter how it's achieved.
Analysis of Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham will show the
way and the 2-0 loss to Dortmund will reinforce it. Both
defensive performances, though different in their intensity and
organisation, showed that damage can be done by furiously
pressing the Arsenal midfield and defence. Dortmund
capitalised on it; Spurs didn’t, but still exposed the Gunners in
three-versus-three situations.
They are susceptible, but often only because Wenger bullishly
sticks to his philosophy and tries to dominate games and
situations which call for a more cautious approach.
But let’s say Arsenal allow Chelsea to dominate possession;
to tempt Cesc Fabregas into breaking them down. They have
the players to do serious damage on the break.
It has been speculated that Mourinho will use two holding
midfielders to counter this threat - Matic and John Obi Mikel -
but that combination haven’t started a game together this
season. We can rule that out.
Fabregas is excellent, but can be caught out of position when
Chelsea don’t have the ball. It is in these moments that
Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez must look to spring the
trap and get at Gary Cahill and John Terry. The pair are
rarely exposed but Olivier Giroud's chance in the opening few
minutes of the 6-0 reverse indicate that clever movement, of
which Welbeck has in abundance, can bamboozle the duo.
You have to hope we are treated to this kind of tactical chess
match rather than the more predictable match-up we've seen
under Mourinho. Speaking after Arsenal's win over
Galatasaray, Per Mertesacker gave hope, hinting at a change
of approach for this game: ”We know we can do better than
the two consecutive seasons [there] before and I think we'll try
new things on Sunday to get a better result than last year.”
The combination of Wenger’s stubborn nature and trust in a
rigid philosophy seems certain - based on past evidence - to
result in another defeat. But if he springs a surprise and
hands the onus to Chelsea, he has the players at his disposal
to make this an eighth Premier League win at Stamford Bridge
- a record in the top-flight. He just needs to outmanoeuvre
Mourinho for the first time.

It was a fantastic goal, it was amazing he scored such goal.

yeah it was.. Outstanding goal

Javier Hernández's first goal for Real Madrid, a wonder strike
against Deportivo, has been named the goal of the month for
September by the Spanish Football League (LFP).
Though Chicharito is well aware of his status within the
squad, within which he is several rungs below Karim
Benzema in the pecking order, he still looks capable of
outscoring the Frenchman.
The Mexican didn't take long to get off the mark for 'Los
Blancos', but his maiden effort for the club, a thunderous left-
footed volley from outside the box, would have been well
worth any wait.
The 26-year-old's piledriver left Deportivo goalkeeper Germán
Lux with absolutely no chance and nearly ripped through the
top corner of the net, such was its ferocity.

Mourinho refuses to apologise for calling Wenger a 'specialist in failure
The Chelsea manager was reacting to being branded "afraid
to fail" after downplaying his title chances last season, but it's
both can move on and focus on Sunday's clas
Jose Mourinho has refused to apologise to Arsene Wenger for
the "specialist in failure" jibe he aimed at the Arsenal manager
last season.
The Portuguese hit back at his counterpart in February for
branding him "afraid to fail" after repeated assertions that his
then-table-topping Chelsea side were not favourites for the
Premier League title.
He told reporters: "I didn’t get an apology so I don’t
apologise. My feeling is to get over it, forget it and to move
forward without thinking about what happened, you don’t
need to apologise.
"I don’t need to get an apology, I don’t need to apologise.
Football people, intelligent people we don’t need that. Finish,
move and let’s go for another match with a big responsibility
for both of us.
"We manage two big clubs in London and have responsibility
to have a good football match for millions of fans that both
clubs have and the league has. So no problems."
Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday for the first time
since a humiliating 6-0 loss in Wenger's 1000th game in
charge, but Mourinho sees no reason to dwell on the result
despite expecting to win again.
"The 6-0 is once every 50 years," said Mourinho. "Me against
Arsene Wenger? I never had the pleasure to play one-on-one
against him. It's Chelsea and Arsenal and even that doesn't
play a part.
"What happens in the past, is the past. It's a difficult match
against a good team.
"I expect a difficult match, it doesn’t matter their approach or
what they try to do. They will always be a difficult opponent.
But I always expect [to win] every game, every opponent.
Nothing changes that.

The latest figure that has emerged and bumped up the
overall cost is the tidy sum of €8.8 million that Barcelona
has had to set aside to foot the more than likely tax bill to
come.
The cost of signing Neymar has gone up with every passing
minute. Back in June 2013, Barcelona claimed the player
would cost around €57 million but 15 months later the total
cost of the operation has almost doubled.
The latest figure that has emerged and bumped up the overall
cost is the tidy sum of €8.8 million that Barcelona has had to
set aside to foot the more than likely tax bill to come.
The saga began when Jordi Cases accused Sandro Rosell of
misconduct and of syphoning off €40 million from the transfer
deal. From then on things went from bad to worse as the true
cost of the operation came to light.
The judge who presided over the resulting court case duly
charged Rosell and the latter decided to resign from his
position as club president. He was replaced by Josep Maria
Bartomeu, who called a press conference and rather
surprisingly revealed all the details of the operation.
That day the relative €57 million molehill grew to a
mountainous €80 million or more overnight. In addition,
another two variable payments were included in the deal. In
effect, Barcelona would have to pay another couple of million
to Neymar's former club Santos if the player were shortlisted
for the Ballon D'Or and a further €4.5million if Barça failed to
play a friendly against Santos in Brazil.
If that weren't enough then came the problems with Inland
Revenue. As a result, Barcelona paid out another €13.5
million due to tax irregularities and has had no choice but to
put aside another €8.8 million this season for possible
forthcoming payments.

With results finally going their way and the team performing
on the pitch, the Italian can now worry about the Welshman
and the lack of team cohesion he has shown in recent
games.

Carlo Ancelotti grimaces whenever he is asked about his
team's current form, and he does so because there is one
player who has not yet fully settled into the team: Gareth
Bale.
With results finally going their way and the team performing
on the pitch, the Italian can now worry about the Welshman
and the lack of team cohesion he has shown in recent games.
Certain behaviour and attitudes have been worrying the Italian
more than they did at the beginning of the new season. His
main concern is Bale, that same player who kicked off pre-
season in great attacking form, but was falling short with his
defensive responsibilities. Neither Ancelotti nor the
Welshman's teammates see the former Tottenham man as
involved in the team's dynamic as he was towards the end of
last season.
"I only have one piece left to the puzzle and that is Bale", he
repeats to his coaching staff. Nobody doubts the Welshman's
work in attack, but his teammates want more from him.
In certain games - look no further than the semi-final in
Munich - Bale appears more involved in that one aspect of the
job he really seems to dislike. Ancelotti is convinced that he
can get his man back to his best. After all, he is a player who
began his career at full-back before he was progressively
pushed further up the pitch until he became just another
striker.

The fact Ancelotti should say that Cristiano Ronaldo is the
best footballer from among all those he has managed, means
that in the Italian's opinion, the Portuguese is a better
footballer than the other seven Ballon d'Or winners who have
played under him.
Namely they are, besides Ronaldo: Fabio Cannavaro, Kaká,
Zidane, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Ronaldo and Rivaldo.
However, it's not just those Ballon d'Or winners that Carlo has
coached during his career. A glance over the teams and
squads he's presided over contain so much quality that
MARCA could put together as many as four top teams.
Firstly at Parma he had Buffon, Cannavaro, Hernán Crespo,
Thuram, Zola and Asprilla. His great work at Parma opened
the door for him to Juventus. He replaced Lippi and had such
talent as Van der Sar, Zidane, Del Piero, Filippo Inzaghi,
Davids, Montero, Ferrara and Trezeguet at his disposal.
On his arrival at A.C. Milan there was Maldini, Shevchenko,
Rui Costa, Pirlo and Redondo (although injured), and during
his time there he saw Rivaldo, Nesta, Seedorf, Cafú, Kaká,
Vieri, Ronaldo, Beckham and Ronaldinho.
Roman Abramovich signed Ancelotti and Chelsea then had
Cech, Carvalho, Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Deco, Terry and
Anelka, plus in his second season David Luiz arrived and
Torres in January.
PSG chose him for their new project and he came into contact
with Pastore and Matuidi. In his second year they signed
Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi and Lucas Moura.

Glo Ambassador Chee told Toolz on ‘The Midday Show’ on
Beat 99.9 FM, “He [Olamide] is just too good.”
Olamide is one of Nigeria’s biggest selling music acts and its
obvious he’s getting more than just award trophies these
days.
Female singer Chee former known as Chydinma [not Miss.
Kedike] has proclaimed she has a huge crush on the
indigenous rap act Olamide (Baddo).
Explaining why and how she managed to get the rapper on
her new song, “No More,” Chee told Toolz on ‘The Midday
Show’ on Beat99.9 FM Thursday afternoon that Olamide is
just the best!
“I already had a great song and thought… oh! I have a huge
crush on Olamide, why don’t I get him on my song? So I
made calls and he was ready to work with me. He’s just too
good.”
Well the ‘Ghost Mode’ rapper isn’t the only male star the
singer has her eyes on. Responding to whom she would also
love to work with in the future, Chee told the radio host:
“Flavour… I mean, he [Flavour] can make beauty out of
anything — musically.”
Chee further revealed the video for – No More – featuring
Olamide drops at the end of this month and her debut yet-to-
be-titled album is looking at a February 2015 release date.

Story for the gods....
