A key figure behind this improvement has been Nicolas Jover, whose influence has made him a popular presence at the club He is frequently seen issuing instructions to players during set-piece scenarios contributing to the team’s enhanced creativity and execution in the final third However, while their attacking efforts from set pieces have been effective, Arsenal continue to struggle defensively in the same area. This vulnerability has caused problems throughout the season, and it was once again evident in the defeat to Bournemouth yesterday The visitors capitalised on the Gunners’ set-piece frailty to secure a vital win exposing a weakness that has become increasingly apparent “You need to be on it to score [when attacking] but you also need to be on it when defending.” His comments reflect a broader concern that success in attacking set pieces holds little value if the team cannot defend them effectively. If this imbalance continues, it may undermine their efforts in both domestic and European competitions, as teams grow increasingly confident that they can find the net against Arsenal through such opportunities As the season reaches its critical stages, there is little margin for error. Arsenal must address this defensive weakness with the same level of focus they have applied to improving their attacking set plays A more disciplined and cohesive approach to set-piece defending will be essential if they are to secure positive results and meet their objectives in the final matches ______________________________________________________________________________________ ADMIN COMMENT So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow… You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS!

and U18s miss out on league title Mikel Arteta’s decision to field a strong starting XI in a bid to build momentum ahead of Wednesday’s clash with PSG backfired spectacularly, as Arsenal surrendered a half-time lead to lose 2-1 to Bournemouth at the Emirates Declan Rice capped off a slick move to open the scoring on 34 minutes but the Gunners were made to pay for not killing the game conceding twice from set pieces in the space of eight second-half minutes Dean Huijsen headed home from substitute Antoine Semenyo’s long throw to level things up before Evanilson bundled in a corner – seemingly with his elbow – after the ball was diverted to the back post and Arsenal never looked like finding a response pundits and stattos made of the action… Mikel Arteta on another poor home performance… And then when you defend the box the way we did it is very difficult to win the three points and we give so many simple balls away against a team that has a lot of energy When we have them we didn’t kill them Source: Sky Sports Andoni Iraola on a much-needed win for Bournemouth… The key was the set plays in the second half In the end in these close games to make the difference with the set plays was the key to take the three points I think we have been at half time talking about a good first half They (Arsenal) are going to have chances but we were playing well Antoine (Semenyo) coming from the bench was a good spark at that moment when both teams were tired 𝐀𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝟏-𝟐 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡: 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐒 Arsenal have now lost 21 points from winning positions this season their joint most in a single Premier League campaign Hardly ideal prep to face Paris Saint-Germain Check out our recap with all the key Opta stats here: [image or embed] — Opta Analyst (@optaanalyst.optajoe.com) May 3, 2025 at 7:57 PM Martin Odegaard on dropping more points from a winning position… I think we started the game pretty well – we got the goal and felt like we controlled pretty much everything but they score and we lose control of the game We have to move on as we have a massive game coming up We have to get ready for that and analyse this game as well Bournemouth goalscorer Dean Huijsen on winning at the Emirates… First of all we knew that we have never got a point here and that motivated us more We’re a team that always give our all It’s a really important three points for us In the first half with phases we were good we put more rhythm into the match and it worked Arsenal have conceded 38.7% of their Premier League goals this season from set-piece situations That’s the greatest proportion of all PL clubs in 2024-25 [image or embed] — Opta Analyst (@optaanalyst.optajoe.com) May 3, 2025 at 8:04 PM Arteta on failing to build momentum for the PSG game… We wanted to generate the momentum and a really positive vibe today – we haven’t rage and anger – make sure we use that on Wednesday Source: BBC Match of the Day Matchwinner Evanilson on the Cherries’ executing their game plan… We had really good preparation through the week We managed to do everything that we practiced and we managed to get a very important win the intensity that we bring to the game really helps Bournemouth had just two shots on target today — Orbinho (@orbinho.bsky.social) May 3, 2025 at 8:54 PM Arteta on still needing points to secure a place in the Champions League… because mathematically we are not qualified we haven’t earned the right to finish second yet Source: Post-game press conference Gael Clichy on the potential for Man City to finish above Arsenal… you wouldn’t argue to the fact that I’m gonna tell you City can finish second in front of Arsenal This game should have been a given at home I’m pretty sure the fans would have wanted the three points Of course you’re gonna create chances I’ve heard Mikel saying that they’re open Arsenal have kept just one clean sheet in nine Premier League matches at the Emirates Stadium in 2025 low chance creating football that Arteta loves then you had better make sure you don’t concede all the time — Orbinho (@orbinho.bsky.social) May 3, 2025 at 8:43 PM Michael Owen on Bournemouth doing the double over Arsenal… In theory the hardest thing to do is to take points off the likes of Arsenal It’s very likely to get European football next season Source: premierleague.com Arteta on conceding a lot of goals from set pieces… it’s the difference in gap between the ones that you score and the ones that you concede That’s clear and that’s everybody’s responsibility Somebody is able to throw the ball in the middle of the goal to a guy that is taller than anybody else 🔺 Arsenal’s vulnerability at set-pieces exposed – only Ipswich Instant analysis of Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth for @theathleticfc.bsky.social 👇 [image or embed] — Gunnerblog (@gunnerblog.bsky.social) May 3, 2025 at 7:32 PM Ian Wright on Arsenal making life very uncomfortable for themselves… they would be a little bit more comfortable now But having to still try and qualify for the Champions League and to raise yourself again to earn the right to win Jamie Redknapp on the magnitude of Wednesday night… they’ve somehow got to find that spirit again when they go to PSG on Wednesday night It’s such a huge game for them because if they were to lose then these other games [versus Liverpool and Newcastle] become really hard Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Approached the last few matches like we had already won them…Naaa…can’t wait for another preseason to begin… For me it’s the manager who lacks the clue to change anything… Still funny to see people talking about how CRAZY it would be if Man City reigning champion over the last 4 seasons who spent €250 millions on players over the last 10 months let’s hope the players can use this hanger on Wednesday because we definitely need to see something Considering our respective places in the table over the course of the season if it ended up like that it would be sickening Spurs could win a European trophy and end up in the CL after finishing one place above relegation It could end up being far worse than we imagined Pretty sure Bodø knocks them out on Thursday Your place in the table over the course of the season does not mean anything until the last game Again they have won the competition four times in a row Obviously they should finish higher than us our season is not a failure as much as people wants to make it Champion’s League Semi-final for the first time in 17 years fought for the title most of the league with plenty injuries and questionable decisions against us You say ‘fought for that title for most of the league’ that title challenge effectively ended in February when West Ham beat us at home and Liverpool went to Man City and won I can see us struggling to hold onto 2nd and that will not constitute a good season You say City should obviously finish higher than us because of the money they have spent We for the 5th season in the row are unlikely to win anything I salute salute 👏 your positivity and how you spin everything but the reality is that we are just not good enough to win a free coffee from Macdonalds this season That’s not positivity mate that’s blindness Man you will find some excuse for every shit run of form There’s always something and someone else to point the finger at Sometimes you need to accept some responsibility One of the biggest atrocities for me would be if after City’s “worst ever season” under Guardiola we somehow contrive to still finish behind them After being comfortably second all season and so far ahead that would make me sick The biggest atrocity would be if after everything we somehow don’t make the Champions League I’m not sure how I could quite process that Imagine if that lot who can’t be mentioned made it into the CL and Arsenal didn’t Although some compensation would come from watching the morons on AFTV (Arsenal Fuckwit TV) have a total meltdown https://youtu.be/y0FnfGblLr8?si=jXB6rDI32Nt2hRiu It’s collapse time again, gone all Arsenaly How much money and time does he need to deliver a trophy? That was on the work Emery did and not Arteta.. He has won a trophy. He has raised our level considerably. Man City have won 6 of the last 7 prem trophies. We all know why that is. Maybe you want to go back to the Mustafi days? Getting hammered 6-0 by Chelsea. Need i mention Bayern 10-2. What do you want exactly? In fact I think this is a great time to reflect on 10-2, or …. 8-2. How about Xhaka telling the fans to f*ck off, or Gallas sulking on the pitch. It’s better now. Enjoy it. how about newcomer manager who was able to win league with almost no transfers? Not gonna win against PSG, Liverpool or Newcastle – gotta rely on other results going our way and making sure they beat Southampton!! I think forth spot is doable!!! Maybe you’ll get voted down, but it’s hard to see us getting 2nd place. I think the Champions League is a better bet than beating City in the league because of the way we play. Awful. Win the Campions League? Play like a bunch of cunts in front of the people who pay your wages at home. Hang your heads in shame. This club is in trouble. This isn’t elite level. Maybe you should find something more enjoyable to do with your time. At least I can always take a look at the foot of the table to see United and Spuds. This season was done after 2-months and then they changed the rules to allow other clubs to escape petty rules. Win, win win. Not, err I might put a couple of youth players on the bench. It’s about winning everything. This is start to give posh kids lazy vibes. To me it seems we often start to play too defensive when we have the lead instead of continuing to play with the attacking mindset that gets us the lead especially when we know the other team will have to come out of its shell. That is certainly on Arteta being too conservative tactically especially when we have the lead at home when we’ve lost or drawn to lower level teams far too often this season. I love Arteta and everything he has done for our club as a player and as a manager. He is not going to get us where we want to be! The money has been spent and now it’s 5 years without a major trophy. That is simply not good enough and as fans we should definitely demanding more! top 4 was and has always been the trophy. so unless he gets out of top5, expect him here for a long time The teenager was nowhere near the first team this time last year – he was still playing for the academy sides under Jack Wilshere and Mehmet Ali After a successful pre-season, Mikel Arteta gave Lewis-Skelly an opportunity in the first team earlier this term and the youngster hasn’t looked back since Lewis-Skelly is now Arsenal’s undisputed first-choice left-back ahead of the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori That tells you all you need to know about the season he has had Myles Lewis-Skelly joined Arsenal when he was just eight years old The youngster developed brilliantly in Hale End played in multiple age groups in the youth setup and has deservedly made it into the senior side Everyone at Arsenal knew that Lewis-Skelly was going to have a great future – not just because of his talent on the pitch but also because of his hunger and desire to get better who knows a thing or two about playing for Arsenal at left-back has heaped praise on Lewis-Skelly and revealed what he has been told by people inside the club about him he has got the desire and hunger to go forward “I would say, playing for a lower league team is always difficult. In the Premier League playing for a top club that is actually challenging for the title makes it a bit more special and harder “For him to come in and play the way he has played You don’t see many players like that at this age as a defender Offensive players will obviously have more chances I wouldn’t be surprised to see him even more down the middle (in midfield) with Mikel You want your club to bring players like this and I’m pretty sure that Arsenal fans will appreciate his performances over the years because he is a super talent!” READ MORE: Myles Lewis-Skelly names the top talent in the Arsenal academy who’ll be next in ‘coming through’ "For him to come in and play the way he is playing, I think it's phenomenal" 👏Gael Clichy says he wouldn't be surprised to see Myles Lewis-Skelly play in a midfield role in the future 😯 pic.twitter.com/vhHAdN3JSb Lewis-Skelly is naturally a central midfielder The youngster grew up playing in the middle of the park and that is where he was educated when he was coming through the ranks in the Arsenal academy Arteta saw him as a left-back because of his ability to invert comfortably and his performances in that role have been magnificent Central midfield may well be where Lewis-Skelly’s long-term future lies but we think the youngster should stay at left-back for another season or two and continue his development there Read on to discover the urban development through the lens of architecture photographer Paul Clemence bridging areas that were once separated by the railway the area is transformed into a cohesive link between surrounding neighborhoods The district will host 7,500 residents and an estimated number of 12,700 jobs with amenities and commercial activities integrated throughout Related Article Chatillon Architectes Renovates 1970s Sporting Venue in Paris Ahead of Olympics The Paris Courthouse, a 160-meter-high Renzo Piano Building Workshop, anchors the northern sector, enhancing connectivity by mitigating the ring road barrier.

Shepard Fairey’s mural occupies that space I set up a kind of giant photo booth in the Forum as part of my Inside Out project oversized portraits to visitors—totally free It was a huge success; there were hours-long lines I think we printed close to 12,000 portraits I designed the You Are Here exhibition-workshop for the Children's Gallery—another fantastic memory and I had a nostalgic thought for my friend Agnès Varda (who passed away in 2019) who loved the surrealists and often spoke to me about the importance of dreams in the creative process." ◼ Charlotte Abramow est l'un des talents montants de la photographie e… Il s'est fait connaître dans les années 2000 avec ses « attaques visuelles » sur des logos publicita… le duo de street artists Lek & Sowat cr… The Porte de Clichy has changed so much! Gone are the dilapidated buildings and untidy streets, and since the construction of the Paris Courthouse and its glass-and-green building line 14 has been extended to serve the area in less than 15 minutes from central Paris and restaurants and hotels have begun to spring up Such is the case withHotel Voco, which opened in June on the other side of the Paris ring road, on the Clichy-la-Garenne side.

By the time I signed for Manchester City in 2011 We were starting to see that a player could make a difference with the ball but make things difficult for his team without the ball they may not cover enough ground or be placed in the right position I was always the type of player who wanted to find out how the team could be better. At City, I learned to enjoy defending. We knew that if we were leading 1-0 with 20 minutes to go, we weren’t going to concede. We had Joleon Lescott, Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards, Pablo Zabaleta and Aleksandar Kolarov. The manager, Roberto Mancini prepared his defenders by making us work against six or seven players we count on you as a back four.” He meant that we needed to be able to deal with being outnumbered on transitions Roberto would explain it like this: “If we want to create opportunities going forward our best players need the freedom to lose the ball without it being an issue.” He worked on us feeling as comfortable defending against six or seven as when we had to defend against three or four If your manager leaves you four against three in transition and doesn’t explain why You can actually feel proud that the manager believes so much in you that he wants you to defend like that It was a moment where I thought: “Communication is what it means to be a manager.” It didn’t mean that all the players were happy but at least he touched certain players with why he was doing it so confident that we were not going to concede It was a proud moment when we went back to the dressing room with a clean sheet to feel confident in what I want from them Manchester United were eight points clear of City with six games to go We had a team meeting where Roberto told us: “Guys I will not lie to you – eight points is a very big gap I am pretty sure that we are going to do it I’m going to tell the press tomorrow that the title is over we are going to play each game to close that gap and win that trophy but you also need a proper gameplan and players with quality If everybody then believes and follows the leader winning the Premier League in the last moments of the season Roberto was really good with that. I was happy that I often played in the biggest games. When we were playing against a lesser team where we needed to attack more, he would play Kolarov. I sometimes felt that wasn’t fair and that I deserved the chance to be an offensive player in those games. Read moreHe told me: “We have two left-backs probably lose less balls and you are composed then I believe that Kola is better than you you usually play the games where people watch All I said back was: “Thank you for the explanation I will crack on with my job and try to do as good as possible.” Communication in that way is progressive Roberto left in 2013 and Manuel Pellegrini came in you’ve got to stick with it and I think the City board already had Pep Guardiola in mind so they decided to go for Pellegrini after Mancini The club could have gone for any manager but they went for someone close to Pep’s philosophy and who knew the Spanish league They wanted a manager who would play offensive and whose team would score goals you know he will want certain players who fit the style that has brought him success you then have to change the whole squad because it’s not the same view of football but the way the club has been run since the moment I signed for them has been exceptional They think three or four transfer windows ahead They’re not scared to let their main player go because they know eventually they need to replace him bring someone in and keep the machine going His teams were known for scoring a lot of goals and we won the league with him in 2014 Pellegrini and Roberto had many of the same main players – the likes of Yaya Touré and David Silva – but there was a shift because when David or Samir [Nasri] have the ball I need you to take the full-back with you so they can go in and combine with Yaya and Agüero and arrive in the box But I also need you to be there to defend when we lose the ball.” With Pellegrini When I watch football now, I cannot distance myself from what I’ve seen and what I learned from Pep. All of that, in one word, would be details. Pep is all about the details. However you want to play – no matter your ideas, your vision, your love for a certain way of playing – details will take you there. As a player, I was always on top of details. I never counted myself as a blessed player. I always had to work hard and be at the top of my game, on and off the field. Pep told me: “Keep on doing detailed things because details will take you up there.” It was amazing to witness this in action. The people who love analysing games can make books about Pep’s tactics and the way he transforms his team’s formations. For me, though, there were three great examples I witnessed of his focus on details. First, his rule of two kilos. If you were two kilos over what he considered your top weight, you didn’t train. In football, you always hear managers say: “If you’re overweight, you’re not training.” In the end, if it’s an important player, the rule is pushed under the carpet because they need that player. With Pep, if you were two kilos over the weight you were after finishing the hard work and proper food of pre-season, you did not train. I saw players who didn’t train for two weeks. in pre-season his fitness coach told me: “The numbers you are recording every training session are amazing.” I said: “Great it’s one of my main attributes.” And he said: “But you are doing the same numbers as Dani Alves.” At that time I am talking about Dani Alves from eight years ago You need to make your staff as important as you are I realised Pep and his staff were speaking They look at who arrived first at breakfast and what they ate They’re not going to tell you to eat differently but if you don’t eat right it tells them that you don’t have the right mindset to perform in their team They are also looking at who performed in terms of running They’re looking at every single department The third example came when we had a 40-second water break after a passing drill before we had to start with the fitness coach waiting for all the players to gather round so he could explain the exercise because if you do that then you will create this over there.” He was so passionate about his explanation and I was so into it that the time went past the 40-second break The fitness coach pointed to his watch and shouted: “Pep you speak after.” Pep looked at me and said: “OK go and I’ll speak with you after training.” View image in fullscreenClichy working with Thierry Henry for the France Under 21s Photograph: Baptiste Fernandez/Icon Sport/GettyNow The message was clear: if you mess around with my staff As a leader you have to be able to delegate I couldn’t have asked more from my time at City than to learn from Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini and then Pep Guardiola.

stole a dramatic point from Arne Slot’s side after a mistake at the back from Caoimhin Kelleher With Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice happy to see Liverpool drop points as the Gunners beat Manchester United the title race might have just opened up a little bit for teams looking to compete with Liverpool who so far this season have been out of sight with their rivals And former Arsenal and City star Gael Clichy now has a new verdict on the title race after last night’s results Speaking on Amazon Prime, the former France international predicted other teams to soon catch up with Liverpool with Clichy saying that the Premier League title race is far from over despite the Reds having a nine-point lead before last night’s games another bad result coupled with more wins from Arsenal and City could suddenly transform Slot’s chances of winning the title from near-certain to potentially unlikely with last night’s draw at Newcastle a real eye opener for the Anfield side Clichy said when talking about the Premier League title race: “As long as mathematically it is not over you cannot count Man City out of the title race The Premier League is one of the most competitive leagues in the world “Three days ago there was a gap of 11 points and then the best team as of today Liverpool are aware that draws could be as bad as losses this season with Arsenal and City potentially readying themselves to go on huge winning runs this festive period something that will put immense pressure on the Reds to perform Slot knows he needs to get his team winning again in what will be an emotionally charged match at Goodison Park where the Toffees will want to claim all three points in the potentially final Merseyside derby at their historic stadium Liverpool’s Premier League title credentials will be tested this month and Slot has to get his team winning again if they’re to maintain their healthy lead against the likes of Arsenal and City for the championship The Reds had their moments against the reigning champions but ultimately were made to pay by a ruthless City team determined to prove a point The game on hinged on a miss from Chris Wood after he raced through one-on-one with the game 1-0 to City Stuart Pearce praised Wood before kick-off but the nine-goal talisman won’t want to dwell too much on that missed opportunity Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to move on from this game pretty quickly and Forest go to Manchester United on Saturday looking for an improved performance It might not have been a night to remember in the North West but Forest did compete against a top Results against teams like Manchester City will go awry but ultimately Forest will still want to improve on a few things for Saturday’s trip to United Espirito Santo has still done well to get Forest into this position in the league table and Clichy admitted last night that he’s not in the least bit surprised He said on Amazon Prime: “Everyone acts surprised but we forget that he’s a top manager he’s been abroad with a number of teams too so I’m not surprised seeing Forest so high “He’s a top coach and he knows how to play and which buttons to press at which parts in this game.” As Forest fans we simply have to temper the expectations a little bit This run of fixtures was always going to be tricky and Forest are to a certain degree staying true to form The Reds have more hard games to come on the horizon and it’s all about how Forest keep preparing and continue to pick up points here and there Forest are starting to beat the team that should be beaten and that will be enough to achieve a really positive season after 38 games All is not lost after losing to a team like City and with Espirito Santo at the helm you can bet that there will be tireless work

gastronomy multi-Michelin-starred chef and entrepreneur Alain Ducasse officially acquired the Maison du Peuple in Clichy-la-Garenne work is in full swing and the building is undergoing a beautiful metamorphosis More than 4,000 square metres dedicated to the world of the emblematic chef and a host of surprises for Parisians (and other gourmets) in Paris we’re lucky enough to be able to discover these little addresses designed by the indefatigable chef particularly in view of his latest major project Alain Ducasse has chosen Clichy as the location for his next venture the Maison du Peuple is anything but an ordinary building this jewel of modernism and its 4,200 square meters are about to be transformed into a veritable temple of Ducasse-style gastronomy so you can be sure you’re in for a real treat All we have to do now is wait patiently to discover all this Raheem Sterling has brought pace and balance to City’s attack and is already a key player for Manuel Pellegrini’s side. Fabian Delph, just back from injury, adds energy to the club's midfield options, and with Vincent Kompany and Eliaquim Mangala improving vastly on last season, and Nicolas Otamendi having joined on Thursday from Valencia, City’s defence looks healthier than ever. Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov will once again contest what has been something of a problem position for City in recent seasons City need to address if they want to achieve their ambitions but for now Pellegrini feels he has enough options with the current incumbents to improve City he has shown himself to be more the more well-rounded of the two players He may not attack with as much precision as Kolarov who scores more goals and assists with more regularity but he has enough pace to cause right-backs concern and is much more solid defensively a sharp upswing in his performance level from that point onwards reminded the City fans of the qualities he offers Clichy isn’t a great modern-day full-back—he’s too lightweight and not explosive enough going forward to be considered one of the best—but he is an excellent player when at his best with his defensive frailties exposed too often Whereas in the past his attacking contribution masked his deficiencies at the back he failed to play with the same dynamism going forward Kolarov has rarely filled observers with confidence since arriving at City in the summer of 2010 and he often overcommits going forward and doesn’t have the pace to get back into his defensive position City can look exposed against the better sides when he is in the side Profligacy in possession has been another issue Kolarov likes to take shots from all angles—understandable given the power and quality in his left foot—but too often his efforts are wayward and frustrating capable of delivering wicked balls into the box on which forwards can thrive Very few Premier League defenders possess the same ability to fire a dangerous ball into the area .css-az13ih{width:100%;aspect-ratio:3/2;border:none;}And this season He’s been superb in City’s three wins so far with the space created by Sterling’s presence on the left benefiting the Serbian hugely and given City have totally dominated all three games so far he’s had less to do in his own defensive third than perhaps he has in the past The problem City have is their dominance is unlikely to last all season Sooner or later they will come up against a side that causes them problems Anyone with a pacey right-winger can target Kolarov and expose his lack of pace and defensive appetite it’s arguably Clichy’s pace that has seen him generally preferred to Kolarov during their time together at City particularly against better sides with speed on the flanks but it was Clichy who supplied more key passes—23 to Kolarov’s 19 Given Kolarov is seen as a superior attacking threat Add in Clichy’s far better take on statistics—he managed to go past players 83 percent of the times he attempted to which is far higher than Kolarov who was successful just 44 percent of the time—and it’s arguable he is better in possession It’s defensively where the differences become most apparent Clichy won 53 percent of his tackles throughout the season which contrasted sharply with Kolarov’s 40 percent Clichy made an average of eight defensive contributions per game winning 56 percent of his aerial duels compared with Clichy’s 39 percent The statistics further underline Clichy’s credentials Given City are a club making significant use of statistics with far more intelligent analysis than provided here it’s little wonder Pellegrini seems to prefer Clichy to Kolarov when both are fit and at their best Kolarov may have the headline-grabbing explosive left foot City will surely look to evolve their left-back options in a transfer window not too far away They do, of course, have a very promising young player on loan at sister club New York City FC Angelino had a fine season for the EDS last season and looks to have a bright future There are holes in his game—particularly defensively—that have been exposed even in MLS a far inferior league to the one he hopes to make his name in Whether he can improve enough to make the jump into City’s first team remains unclear but he is a wonderfully talented young player who is capable of making the necessary adjustments to his game and becoming a top-class player it continues to be a straight race between Clichy and Kolarov The Serbian's start to the season has been exceptional and he deserves great credit but Clichy has shown throughout his time at City he is the safer it will be very interesting to see how long Kolarov keeps hold of the shirt Gael Clichy says he is thrilled to be reunited with his France and former Arsenal teammate Bacary Sagna and insists the move to sign the defender shows Manchester City do not have to spend a ton of money to add great players City's incumbent right-back Pablo Zabaleta has proven to be one of the Premier League's top players in his position but it wasn't long ago that Arsene Wenger said the same about Sagna - Curtis: The curious case of Eliaquim Mangala Clichy played at the Emirates with his countryman for four seasons from 2007-2011 and said on Friday that he was very happy to be reunited with his friend at City after Sagna signed in June "Well from my point of view it's great," Clichy said I've played with him at Arsenal and the national team but for the club I think it's a great signing I think we have one of the best right-backs in the last five years since he joined Arsenal That's the kind the player you look for in the club and he's old enough to bring some experience "I don't want to say too much because he's a good friend and I'm sure the fans are waiting for him to put the shirt on." Since the club's infusion of cash in 2008 from their billionaire new owners Abu Dhabi United Group -- backed by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan -- City have been prone to spend fortunes on transfer fees to acquire the players they want But with Financial Fair Play penalties bearing down Sagna arrived on a free transfer after his contract with Arsenal ended this summer and Clichy said that's proof that City can be just as savvy as clubs with smaller bank accounts Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy will play together again at Manchester City following their time together at Arsenal. AP Photo/Tom Hevezi"Of course he was on a free [transfer] To sign a player like him on a free is something amazing," Clichy said "That shows everyone that City is not only a club who can spend money but who can make great deals." where City are preparing to take on AC Milan in their first game in the International Champions Cup -- a preseason tournament with the likes of Liverpool Olympiakos and defending champions Real Madrid taking part The left-back said he noticed the increased attention football received in the United States during the World Cup and hopes that the preseason events can do more to increase the sport's profile in America We know soccer has gotten bigger within the year we have a new team in New York now which is beginning next year," said Clichy referring to City's business ties to MLS expansion franchise "It's really good for the club to do something like this because we're used to the passion in England but coming here City will face their Premier League title rivals from last season If they win that "group stage," they will face the top team from Manchester United While City's primary focus will be on preparing for the upcoming season Clichy said it's still important for City to try their best against other top clubs "We have to gain our fitness back but also to win It's already been a great preseason and we're looking forward to the next few games."

Clichy was referring to the former captain's outburst made in France last week accusing certain of his team-mates of not having the stomach for the battle hinting that Robin van Persie was the source of friction and revealing that there had been discord in the dressing room during half-time of the recent Tottenham game which they drew 4-4 after leading throughout Arsène Wenger dropped Gallas for the Manchester City match last Saturday and on Monday handed Cesc Fábregas the captaincy "Our target is to go to Chelsea and win," admitted Fábregas "This is a chance to claim some points back." Such has been Arsenal's sloppy league form of late that they must treat this weekend's daunting trip as an opportunity The stirring victory over Manchester United earlier this month has virtually been forgotten That is the only league game won in the last five outings three of which have been lost with Aston Villa and Manchester City prevailing too comfortably A deficit of 10 points from the summit must be shaved off by the leaders if the title challenge Wenger and his senior players insist is still viable is to be truly revived Fábregas, with his first objective - progress in the Champions League - now achieved The Spaniard is remarkably level-headed for a man of 21 his focus fixed solely on securing this club its first major silverware since the FA Cup was claimed on penalties against Manchester United in 2005 "To lift a trophy," said the midfielder when asked what his target is this season we are into the last 16 in Europe and still in every competition People can say whatever they want about the title race It is up to us to finish where we will finish nothing is done and we will fight until the end The other teams have difficult games as well We must recover from this game against Kiev get some good training sessions under our belt they have played good football with quick combinations Arsenal never go anywhere looking only to draw should Arsenal win their matches against Chelsea then the defeats they have suffered to perceived lesser sides might not prove so damaging The Londoners have been beaten five times already this term losing at two of the three promoted sides who have cluttered midfield disrupted Arsenal's rhythm and capitalised on defensive frailties yet their only brush with the established top four An open game at Chelsea should offer both sides the opportunity to thrive with the visitors clinging to the hope that Bacary Sagna Emmanuel Adebayor and Samir Nasri will all prove their fitness to play Arsenal can take heart from a timely return to winning ways we had a lot of injuries and we responded well "Europe is a different game to the Premier League All the teams in the Premier League know they have to defend a lot They are pressuring us all the time and it looks like all week they just train on defending The Champions League is different - teams try to play a bit more Maybe it's true that Europe suits us a little bit more but if you want to win something you have to be able to play against anybody We have to play as a team and when we play good They will need to be at their upbeat best to prevail at Stamford Bridge Arsenal made progress off the pitch yesterday confirming the appointment of Ivan Gazidis the former deputy commissioner of Major League Soccer suggested the 44-year-old's arrival represented something of a coup If that is to be mirrored by similar advances on the pitch then the momentum generated by a welcome victory on Tuesday must be maintained at Chelsea's expense we are discussing the madness that occurred at the Ft Lauderdale Pro Swim Ledecky’s world record in the 800 free proves that age is seemingly just a number for her but it also makes the Rio 2016 swim she beat out more memorable Marchand has a few areas of improvement to work on if he hopes to return to his Paris form at the World Championships this summer in Singapore January 10th, 2023 Britain, Europe, International, News With the 2024 Olympic Games on the horizon Team Great Britain has launched its High-Performance Center located in Clichy’s Lycée René Auffray Located just 20 minutes outside of the Olympic Village the world-class performance center is an all-inclusive site offering Team GB athletes a venue for all facets of preparation nutrition and performance personnel are housed within the facility with the expectation that over 200 Team GB athletes will make use of the center throughout the Games Mark England “We are delighted to be working in partnership with the city of Clichy: with strong credentials in sport and sport infrastructure coupled with an innate understanding of our vision and requirements this partnership feel like a natural fit.” France site for 2024 is akin to the set-up Team GB created for the 2016 Games in Rio The British School allowed Team GB use of its Barra site which included a 25m swimming pool The school was positioned just 8k outside the Olympic Village and hosted key medical physio and operational areas within the venue to serve athletes across multiple sporting disciplines 5 years later in preparation for the postponed 2020 Olympic Games Team GB secured the use of 3 sites in Japan Todoroki Stadium and Yokohama International Pool The trio of facilities offered optimal pre-Games training and accommodated nearly 90% of the nation’s selected athletes for the Games “Great Britain Launches High Performance Center in not Great Britain” A number of Conservative backbenchers suffered heart attacks due to apoplexy after reading this article Irresponsible of SwimSwam to report this garlic munching treachery without a suitable warning Former Masters swimmer and coach Loretta (Retta) thrives on a non-stop but productive schedule that includes having earned her MBA while working full-time in IT while owning French 75 Boutique while also providing swimming insight for BBC More from Retta RaceSee All Subscribe to our newsletter and receive our latest updates • Club’s former full-back defends Arsène Wenger amid growing unrest• ‘I don’t think many managers could have done what he has’ says Clichy Gaël Clichy has warned Arsenal supporters calling for Arsène Wenger to stand down as manager to be “careful what you wish for” following his return to the club with Manchester City on Sunday Read moreWenger has still not confirmed whether he plans to remain at the Emirates Stadium beyond this season but Clichy, who spent eight years at the club before joining City in 2011 has defended his former manager’s record since he arrived in England 21 years ago and suggested his departure may lead to Arsenal’s regression rather than progression “The manager does not really deserve what he is getting,” the full-back said “I can understand because football is free for everybody to have opinions so you cannot stop that And you cannot only think about the past because it is also about the present But I don’t think many managers could have done what he has in the last 10 years “You always want something new when you are used to something and what you get is probably most of the time not better than what you have so you have to be careful what you wish for.” Arsenal are sixth having lost four and drawn one of their past six league games, a period in which they have also exited the Champions League in humiliating circumstance, losing 10-2 on aggregate against Bayern Munich in the last-16 stage. Read moreThe chances of them qualifying for Europe’s elite competition for a 20th successive season now appear slim Wenger’s side have a game in hand on City in fourth but such is their form it is hard to see them making up the gap on both sides who are now 11 points ahead of their north London rivals and well on course to finish above them for the first time since 1995 All of which has cranked up the pressure on Wenger. It is widely expected that he will sign to stay on at Arsenal for another season at least with Gazidis having reportedly told a group of fans’ representatives before Sunday’s game that the Frenchman must become a “catalyst for change” if he does remain in situ Clichy said of Wenger: “I’m not going to get into any detail but I do believe he is the right man He has been the right man for so many years and I am listening to what people are saying If the club is spending more money and they have the players they need If you take him off and you bring someone else with the same structure “It’s not for me to say if it’s in the right hands or not but I do believe what he has done in the past is amazing.”
