Actually, this is a tradition in English soccer where if you can’t win titles, all your affords are worthless and if you are Arsene Wenger, expectations triple from you and even take ugly shape if you fail to deliver which is something that is happening to Arsenal after they fail in both Championship league and FA Cup. But despite all the negative media coverage about his performance in the current season, 66-year-old Frenchman is not on the radar at least of club bosses including Usmanov who owns 30 percent of the club, as well former legendries who are still betting over his stay on the top post.

Euro 2016 could be played behind closed doors: Abete
Taking a strict note over recent terrorist attacks and growing threats over the upcoming Euro 2016 events, organizers have not ruled out the possibility to play the event behind closed doors. Although, it is just the preliminary statement coming out from UEFA den, but if we rely over closed sources, this could be a reality which would be the first time in history if it ever happens. If we remember correctly last world cup was also under severe threat of similar isolation after growing protests within Brazil for rising prices of day-to-day commodities and deteriorated economic condition and this is the same situation but this time difference is alarming as November's terror attacks in Paris are still alive in everyone’s memory and no one wants to see something like that happens again on European soil at least.

Manchester City has always been the side no one can easily rule out at least in English premier league and this year when this Manchester giant looks rather in cold form, everyone wants to rule them out for title hope but there are few loyal City fans who still believe their side is capable of turning around the things. The 30-year-old midfielder Fernandinho is one such player who says ten points difference from board topper Leicester City is not that much they can’t get rid of. Etihad side is sitting at number four on the table with a strong competition from West Ham for a Championship league qualification next year and if we practically look at their chance to sustain a ranking among top two especially when just five or six games remaining in the season, it looks almost impossible. Anyways, supporting his claim Fernandinho recalls City’s 2012 form when they won last six games and clinched the title.
