Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Cesc Fabregas has been named as the new captain of Arsenal.

Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia was named as the north London club’s makeshift captain as Fabregas was suspended at the weekend.

“Gallas will play on Tuesday, but Cesc will be the captain, I have made that decision,” confirmed Wenger at his pre-match press conference.

Fabregas will be the captain, permanently. I do not have to explain to you why.”

Spain international Fabregas has made over 200 appearances for the Gunners since joining the Arsenal club from Barcelona in 2003.

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Henri Camara scoring in a 1-0 victory over Everton on Monday.

The Senegalese striker’s Henri Camara scored inĀ  51st-minute goal six minutes after coming on ended Everton’s five-game unbeaten run and took Wigan from 18th to 15th in the congested Premier League standings.

Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland had made a one-handed save from Louis Saha, the home side created the better chances and Wilson Palacios headed a cross from Antonio Valencia over the bar in the 34th minute.

Howard was beaten when Valencia eluded Joleon Lescott and swung over a cross from the right and Camara, looking suspiciously offside, escaped his markers to tap the ball home.

Tim Cahill had a close-range shot blocked off the line by a defender, and the Australia midfielder fired over the bar in injury time.

Manchester United’s Hargreaves out for season

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Manchester United’s Owen Hargreaves will miss the rest of the season.

Owen Hargreaves had featured just three times this season, with Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson becoming increasingly worried by his player’s problems.

Ferguson had earlier said:

“He’s in pain when he runs. Tendinitis is a problem when he gets involved in football-related training, that’s when it resurfaces.

“He came back last season and played in a number of very important games, but now he’s out again.

“It’s difficult and frustrating for the lad and we want to help him.”
