This is just pure cruelty, wind. To turn a kick from that spot on the pitch, in that direction, into an own goal is sick, twisted bastard-dom.
Granted, the goalkeeper didn’t do his team any favors, but let’s not get distracted here. This is about the depravity of the wind. And it’s gotten so much worse since this classic…
As another terrorist plot was narrowly foiled at the abandoned friendly between Germany and the Netherlands, Wembley honored the victims of last week’s attack in Paris before the match between England and France.
Following the brilliance of Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal’s match commentary, Arsenal’s YouTube channel has struck gold once again. This time, the players were the marks as children were tasked with subjecting them to uncomfortable interviews.
Jack Wilshere, Per Mertesacker, Bellerin, and Calum Chambers first had to deal with their younger interviewers’ disappointment that they weren’t Aaron Ramsey or Mesut Ozil. Bellerin, in particular, wasn’t too empathetic. Then came some tough trivia questions. Well, they were supposed to be tough, but Mertesacker certainly didn’t think so, as he surprised his prankster with the answers.
Wilshere, meanwhile, just looked like he wanted to headbutt the kid questioning him.
Don’t mess with Mertesacker. He knows his African capitals.

John Terry, like many Chelsea players, has lost his legs this season. So in this animated short from the always excellent FitbaThatba, Roman Abramovich attempts to solve Jose Mourinho’s problems with a bit of creative engineering. I think this might be the key to turning Chelsea’s season around.
Jamie Vardy is having a historic season with goals in nine consecutive matches and counting for Leicester (one shy of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Premier League record), so he probably doesn’t need much help cementing a place in England’s Euro 2016 squad. But that hasn’t stopped him from going the extra mile and employing devious tactics just to be sure.
Arsenal’s YouTube channel does this thing where they have two members of the squad commentate match highlights and by pairing Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal together, they have struck gold.
Some choice cuts…
Wayne Rooney was in attendance for the WWE’s Monday Night Raw show in Manchester and he ended up playing a role in the match between Cesaro and Sheamus, while continuing his “fued” with Preston born wrestler Wade Barrett.
Jurgen Klopp was dealt his first defeat as Liverpool manager, losing 2-1 to Crystal Palace at Anfield. Scott Dann headed in the decisive goal in the 82nd minute and after the match, Klopp admitted that it was at that point that he felt he was, in fact, walking alone.
