Arsene Wenger & Arsenal Won Their Last Trophy 8 Years Ago; He’s the Only Thing That Hasn’t Changed in English Football Since
Some numbers can be taken in two different ways – either praise for Arsenal for being so patient and stable, holding on to their manager while everything around him, including David Moyes and Alex Ferguson has changed jobs, or find a way to criticize Arsene Wenger once again for turning all the great work he’s done with the gunners during the first half of his reign into one big failure during the last eight seasons.

SL Benfica – The Biggest Losers in Europe
If the feeling after losing in the 91st minute against Porto was mostly shock and refusing to actually accept that they’ve lost the league title, probably, Benfica faced true despair, depression and every other negative sentiment you can think about as they conceded once again in injury time to see the Europa League title slip […]

Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres, the Man Who Has Almost Everything
While Frank Lampard and John Terry continue to annoy everyone with their urgency to rush over to lift that trophy like they own more than anyone else, there are others who deserve more praise for yet another successful finish to a Chelsea season, this time with a Europa League title.

Indiana Pacers – Paul George Defense on Carmelo Anthony Not Going Away
It’s one thing to “help” Carmelo Anthony shoot with horrible accuracy from the field; the sheer volume of his attempts from the field aid with that.

Even if some free agents still haven’t gotten a team, training camp in the NFL means slots opening up every day through injuries.
