  • Brentford Stun Arsenal Leicester Pip Wolves As Brighton Rally to Beat Burnley
    ARAB TIMES, SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 2021 16 Liverpool fans cheer during the English Premier League soccer match between Norwich City and Liverpool at Carrow Road Stadium in Norwich, England. (AP) Sports Latest sports scores at — http://sports.arabtimesonline.com BENITEZ OPENS EVERTON TENURE WITH WIN,VILLA STRUGGLE WITHOUT GREALISH Man United, Chelsea underline title credentials; Brentford stun Arsenal Leicester pip Wolves as Brighton rally to beat Burnley MANCHESTER, England, Aug 14, (AP): Bruno Fer- nandes scored a hat trick and Paul Pogba set up four goals as Manchester United thrashed Leeds 5-1 Saturday to make a state- ment about their Premier League title credentials. On a day when Jadon Sancho made his debut off the bench and Raphael Varane was presented as the club’s second big signing, a packed crowd at Old Trafford was treated to a midfi eld clinic by Unit- ed’s two most high-profi le players against a fi erce local rivals. Pogba set up Fernandes for United’s 30th-minute opener and, after Luke Ayling equalized with a long-range strike in the 49th, played in Mason Greenwood for a low, angled shot that regained the lead for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. Fernandes was the beneficiary of another through-ball from Pogba before cutting inside and driving in a low effort that just went over the line before being cleared away by Ayling. And after Fernandes completed his first hat trick for United by running SOCCER onto a long pass by Victor Lindelof and rifling a shot high into the net, Pogba made it four assists for the match - one more than he managed in the whole of last season - by providing the cross that Fred swept home in the 68th.

  • White Hart Lane Legends Volume One
    WHITE HART LANE LEGENDS VOLUME ONE Tottenham shirt. Apart from the fans, the Spurs logo is the most treasured asset of the club. It should be marketed to a wider audience and pushed in the same way that Manchester United did with theirs. Arsenal winning the League does our cause untold damage. Do you think it’s the same for the players? Seriously, I’ve actually got a very high regard for Paul Merson for his loyalty to Arsenal. He was apparently offered the chance to go to White Hart Lane twice and turned it down because of his love and affection for the Highbury outfit and their fans. I’m the same. Once a Spurs man, always a Spurs man in my book and I just couldn’t be seen in red. Crossing the great divide is not an option. I just can’t understand why anybody would want to do it. Tell me about ‘that’ tackle on Charlie Nicholas? To be honest, I actually saw it as more of an accidental nudge, but his momentum took him high and fast over a hoarding. It looked much worse than was actually intended, and to be fair, it was Tottenham versus Arsenal at Highbury, not some Mickey Mouse game that didn’t matter [smiles]. Given the same situation now, I’d probably challenge the same way as I did then, although the funny thing about it was getting punished twice. As Charlie ran towards the ball I slid in to dispossess him, then ended up on the ground. Their physio ran over to me, landed on top and proceeded to punch me in the face.

  • Premier League, 2018–2019
    Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected].
