Wenger said: "I want the traditions of English football to be respected."

This is one of the reason of why I was Arsenal F.C. fan. Wenger is one of the most influential and respected person in English football, And Arsenal is the luckiest club to have Wenger's services as their manager.

Personally, I hate to seeing that Arsenal will hold a guard of honour for Manchester United. Why? Because there is an Arsenal traitor in Manchester United, And that was RVP.

But anyway, The traditions must being respected.

Hartlepool fans are amazing! Last year, on the final away day of the season they all went dressed as smurfs...

This year, today, they're at Crawley all dressed as penguins...

Great stuff considering they were relegated last week.

Cote d’Ivoire international defender Kolo Toure has revealed he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, Sky Sports understands.

Toure, 32, joined Manchester City from Arsenal for £16million in July 2009.

The 32-year-old has become a squad player this term following the arrival of Serbia international centre-back Matija Nastasić from ACF Fiorentina in the summer.

Toure, whose current contract expires at the end of the season, has not been offered a new deal by City.

“I have been here for nearly four years, and two fantastic years when I have been playing a lot and I hear my songs with Yaya and I will miss those things, for me my family is here, my kids are at school and they like the area – but in two months nothing has come from the club and I am thinking about my future definitely,” Toure told Sky Sports News.

The Ivorian wants to stay in England, despite reports linking him with summer moves to France and Italy.

“My first choice is this country, as I like English football – that is why I began playing football,” added Toure.

“After Ivory Coast I came here, I don’t know any other culture and it is important for me to stay here, I have been here for ten-years.”

Toure has made 15 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City this season.

Bayern Secures new signing:

Bayern Munich have agreed to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Sebastian Rode, according to the player’s current employers.

The news comes just few days after it was revealed Borussia Dortmund superstar Mario Gotze would be joining the Bavarians in the summer.

Mainz defender Jan Kirchhoff will arrive at Alianz Arena on a free transfer in the summer, with Sebastian Rode set to follow.

“Why does Jan Kirchhoff go to Bayern? Why does Sebastian (Rode) go too?” Eintracht chief Heribert Bruchhagen said in an interview with Bild.

“My God, these are young people. They can earn four times as much money at Bayern as they can here. End of story. The budget at Eintracht is 30 million euros, it’s 150 million at Bayern.”

It remains to be seen whether Rode will be joining Bayern next summer or when his contract expires in a year’s time.

Both Kirchhoff and Rode have enjoyed impressive campaigns this season, but they could still find it hard to get regular playing time in Munich.

Honestly. German football is on a roll now. Two potential German teams could be in the CL final and it seems Bayern Munich is getting Gotze, who is one of the best young midfielders in the world and I know a few English teams were interested in him too.

Arsenal 1- 1 Manchester United

The Gunners dropped to fourth in the Premier League table after drawing 1-1 with champions Manchester United.
They are now two points ahead of Spurs in fourth place but their north London rivals have a game in hand.
"There is no room for dropping points, but the other teams are in the same position," Wenger said.

Arsene Wenger is also looking forward to next season as he believes that Arsenal will qualify to next season's Champions League and will push harder and not just give a "home lose and a away win that eneded their circuit".

Here are both team goals:

Walcott (Arsenal) (2')

Robin Van Persie (Manchester United) (44')

 

[AKI Man]

Ouch! RVP scoring against his former club at there ground must have rubbed the Arsenal fans right up the wrong way.

Wasn't into football until just recently. Watch some matches online occasionally because my asshole tv guy forgot to 'unlock' ten sports(which is our sports channel here), but I'm switching in a few weeks anyway so I'm hoping to really get into it. So far, I've seen that both, Arsenal and Manchester united have great games whether against each other or against other teams. RVP, is my fav, was Messi a few days ago, but I changed my mind
Going to go play a bit more FIFA '13 now.
