Нападающий "Арсенала" и сборной Голландии Робин ван Перси весьма неожиданно обрушился с критикой на футболистов сборной Испании, а также на "Челси". Форвард "канониров" обвиняет их в давлении на судей и не спортивном поведении.

"Испанские игроки постоянно давят на судью, пытаясь добиться предупреждения для соперников. Они стараются навредить своим коллегам. Такое поведение меня просто бесит. Люди, которые приходят на стадион или смотрят матчи у телевизора, не хотят лицезреть подобные выходки. Если вы хотите услышать кучу критики или жалоб, то идите к булочную, там люди тоже вечно чем-то недовольны. Игроки "Челси" тоже хороши, они постоянно скулят. Я реально не могу их понять. Просто заткнитесь и играйте в футбол", - приводит Sport 1 слова ван Перси.

On July 31, Arsenal and the New York Red Bulls will face each other in this summer’s edition of the Emirates Cup and the game will be more than just a friendly.

Legend Thierry Henry will step on the grass of the Emirates Stadium to face his former Club and speaking to Goal.com, the Frenchman explained that it will be special, a moment that he is already looking forward to.

The striker didn’t feature as much as he wanted to in Arsenal’s new stadium and although the “connection” with the Emirates is not as strong as it was with the Highbury Stadium, he is still very much in love with the people at the Club and of course, the fans.

And on what it means for Arsenal to end another season with no trophies, the 33-year old explained that he is suffering, just like any other fan, but that is important to keep believing in the team, in the players and in the manager, who according to Henry is a very important person for the Club.

Ahead of next month’s friendly game, Henry said:

It will be a good feeling [to play in the Emirates Cup]. To see Arsenal’s people again, the employees who work there, the players, the fans, the boss.

Arsenal is who my heart belongs to, so it will be an incredible moment, I hope.

I played seven years at Highbury Stadium, so I can’t say that I even played a full year at the Emirates Stadium because I was injured a lot during my last year at Arsenal.

So I think I played like 15 games at the Emirates, and with the stadium itself I don’t have too much connection.

But with the people … it’s different, I love the people, the fans, the people who work there from the chef to the guy who takes care of the field.

When you play for Arsenal there is always criticism. But I feel like any other fan. I’m like the rest of the team right now, I’m suffering.

But we have to help and believe in that team. They had the potential to win this season, they’ve always been so close to winning but sometimes fall short.

I think the team can do it and I hope that the boss [Wenger] stays because he is a very important person right there for that organisation.

Arsenal target Christopher Samba looks like he will stay at Blackburn Rovers, despite the increasing amount of speculation suggesting he will be heading to The Gunners this summer.

The six-foot four Blackburn skipper has suggested that he will be at the Lancashire side next season.

"Hopefully it is a big summer for the club. My only concern at the moment is to go on holiday. I am not going to worry about next year now.

"I am very happy now though. Let us see who we sign. Now we can improve the squad. That is up to the owners, we have no powers."

In other news, Jack Wilshere also revealed that he was playing golf with Gary Cahill today, whilst away on International duty for England ahead of Saturday's game against Switzerland.

"Bit of golf with big Gaz Cahill.......trying to convince him to join me at Arsenal"

Главный тренер «Арсенала» Арсен Венгер положил глаз на нигерийского нападающего «Вест Бромвича» Питера Одемвингие.

Венгер заинтересовался 30-летним форвардом по итогам очных встреч команд в Премьер-лиге. Одемвингие сумел отличиться в обеих играх против «Арсенала»: в выездном матче «дрозды» одержали победу - 3:2, а дома сыграли вничью - 2:2.

По данным Daily Mail, Венгер готов выложить за экс-форварда московского «Локомотива» 4 миллиона фунтов стерлингов. Одемвингие в первом сезоне в Англии провел за «Вест Бромвич» 32 матча, в которых забил 15 мячей и отдал 7 голевых передач.

В сферу интересов «канониров» также входят нападающий «Порту» Радамель Фалькао, форвард «Реала» Карим Бензема и атакующий полузащитник «Лилля» Жервиньо.

В сезоне-2010/11 «Арсенал» занял 4-е место в чемпионате Англии, которое дает право через квалификацию пробиться в основной турнир Лиги чемпионов.
