Arsenal need to stay calm and focus on United: Gabriel

Newcastle have conceded goals in every game bar one in the top flight, which was a goalless draw with Manchester United, but there was optimism last weekend when they took on out-of-form Chelsea at St James’ Park. “I shall retire”, van Gaal said. All that’s been said in the press conference.

“I always do what I have said”.

“It’s the easiest choice I have to make, to pick one of those two”.

“We learn from victory and we learn from defeat”, he said.

Think you know your football? “You can’t come to a conclusion yet”. Was I right or wrong. I accept your judgment of how the team played and your assessment.

He added: “I have information on [Schneiderlin] which I am not necessarily in a position to tell you”.

Journalist: That’s fair enough.

Manchester City have a number of key players still on the sidelines ahead of this match, and there are question marks over David Silva and Yaya Toure, both of whom were hauled off the pitch during last night’s Champions League game against Gladbach.

Wenger: “No. I don’t understand that at all”. I make the decision I think is best for the team on the day.

Journalist: After the game, you said you weren’t accountable for your selection. We have a very strong team, with a few very good players.

So here are the top ten accounts that all Gunners fans should be following!

Wenger: “I just gave you the answer”.

With Gunners boss Arsene Wenger under pressure after two defeats in the Champions League, the hosts look in disarray heading into Sunday’s blockbuster showdown. I have set my aims always in advance. Including journalists and pundits. “Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson are other types I think”. “It is quite boring because nobody came out with numbers of this game where the game was won and lost”, the Gunners boss continued.

Kevin Mbabu impressed on his starting debut by keeping Pedro quiet at St James’ Park last weekend, so the full-back might be preferred to Massadio Haidara once again, while Vurnon Anita could keep his spot in midfield. At the moment it is tight and hard to say who will dominate the championship.

This sort of behavior and attitude from journalists is extremely unfair, and one part of many different components of mainstream media that’s lacking and doing a massive disservice to fans and observers of the sport.
