‘They lacked charisma’ – Arsenal legend sticks the boot in
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has issued a damning verdict on Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat against Everton on Saturday.

Alan Shearer reacts to Fulham win as Newcastle edge closer to relegation

The Cottagers are only three points off safety, and Newcastle United will need to secure a win against Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight in order not to edge closer to a full-blown relegation battle.
