Wenger: Transfer window should close before season starts

United have scored more than a quarter of the goals in their entire history in the 23 seasons of the Premier League – while their next loss will bring an unwanted record of achieving their 1,500th loss in the top flight.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get the rub of the green today”, Norwich coach Alex Neil said.

“They deserve our confidence, but I think now is our time to deserve a compensation of that and for the players to give us everything they have and to keep the level of ambition and motivation”.

Another one of Arsenal’s London-rivals, Chelsea, also had a shock result in the form of a home draw to Swansea.

“You can have a good season and somebody was better than you, a little bit better, a couple of points more than you, then I don’t think it’s a failure”. Tottenham looked to be the aggressors for about the first 20 or 25 minutes until the goal really swayed the game in favor of United.

Walker put through his own net in the 22nd minute, rushing back in an attempt to prevent England team-mate Wayne Rooney taking aim from Ashley Young’s cross and succeeding only in scuffing the ball into his own net.

Arsenal triumphed in both the Asia and Emirates Cups in preseason, while manager Wenger finally beat Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea at the 14th attempt in last Sunday’s Community Shield.

“Apart from that, we play at home to win and we tried that, so it is normal”. Likewise, newly promoted sides Bournemouth will face Aston Villa and Watford begin thier Premier League campaign against Everton.

“We had a good first half to the season last season, but the second half wasn’t so good“.

Jermain Defoe and Steven Fletcher grabbed second-half goals for Sunderland, while Marc Albrighton got Leicester’s fourth at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes went 3-0 up inside 25 minutes and Betfair, who cut the hapless Black Cats to 5-4 (from 2-1) for the drop, make Dick Advocaat 6-1 to be the first top-flight manager to leave his job.

But they twice squandered the lead, with goals from Miguel Layun and substitute Odion Ighalo cancelled out in turn by Ross Barkley and Arouna Kone.

Initially it appeared to be business as usual on the pitch, with the hosts quickly hitting their stride against a Swansea side anxious to avenge the two heavy defeats they suffered at Chelsea’s hands last season.
