Most football pundits agree that Wenger is a great coach. They are unanimous in their conclusion that he’s still one of the best managers out there.

Many years ago, players  dream of playing for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. From the likes of Patrick Viera to Mac Overmars to Emmanuel Petit, Robert Pires, Nelson Vivas, Giles Grilmadi, Sol Campbell and notably, Thiery Henry.

Arsenal against the tide of expectations (including mine) comprehensively defeated Chelsea at the Emirates and has since gone on to put in respectable performances against Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Manchester City.

Unraveling the way funds were appropriated in the past few months is now the preoccupation of  the EFCC.   [...]

The world cup has come and gone and Africa can hold her head high in esteem for a job well done through one of her numerous children, South Africa. Personally, ‘am so proud of the achievement of that country that I can’t help but be envious of what they accomplished. The same South Africa that [...]
