The Gunners have lifted the FA Cup on two occasions in recent years, but their Premier League title drought has now reached the 13-year mark. Giroud: We all hope Wenger signs Another attempt at ending that barren run is being pieced together at present, with Arsenal currently sat eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea in fourth. Every effort will be made to close that gap over the coming months, but Koscielny has called for less emphasis to be placed on a title drought at the Emirates Stadium and more credit to be given to Wenger for keeping the club in contention while building for the future....

SirLARIATO, a wrestling GIF maker, shared an interesting story from a Daily DDT article from four years ago, regarding Ibushi’s days in WWE.

Sony’s Spider-Man Universe isn’t likely something that was ever directly planned. It’s just what’s come of Sony and Marvel handing the rights to Peter Parker’s alter ego back and forth the way that they have. While Spidey is technically now a part of the MCU, Sony has been making more and more movies that center around Marvel characters usually associated with the web-slinger in one way or another. Venom was the first, Morbius is the latest follow-up coming in a month....

Steve Mills told a crowd at a J.P Morgan speaker event on Wednesday that the former star center for the Knicks threatened the team before they traded him. He threatened to go back and play in Europe rather than re-signing in New York. “When he walked into our office, my office, and (general manager) Scott (Perry) was sitting there with me and point blank said, ‘Guys, I don’t want to be here, I’m not going to re-sign with the Knicks and I’m going to give you seven days to trade me or I’m going back to Europe,’” Mills recounted....

The latter part of this can be extended to goalkeepers – ask any Arsenal aficionado about Lukasz Fabianski. Newcastle’s Tim Krul and Swansea’s Michel Vorm may not be challenging for titles but they are nevertheless at the crux of their sides recent fortunes. Until November, Newcastle were unbeaten in the Premier League whilst Swansea still have the best defensive record at home. To attain this though, both stoppers have certainly had to be Flying Dutchmen during the campaign....

Even in the 2019 Cricket World Cup where a lot of India’s hopes were dependent on his spin and variations, he failed to deceive the batsmen to an extent that he would have liked to. His form was one of the worrying reasons that affected India’s World Cup hopes. “It (2019) was a tough one. I learned a lot of things and the biggest positive was getting to know that I could have planned things better,” Kuldeep told reporters on the eve of the third and final T20 against Sri Lanka....

We didn’t want it to feel like a medicine show, you know?” The first season tells eight different stories about the immigrant experience in the United States....

When Trump announced U.S. troops would be withdrawn from Syria’s north east last week, seemingly giving the green light for a Turkish invasion, he was accused of betraying the Kurds—a longtime American ally in staving off ISIS in the region—and a number of experts and analysts warning that the move would give the minority group no choice but to negotiate with Russia and Assad. Now with Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring intensifying and its incursion going far deeper into Syrian territory than anticipated, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have done exactly that, stating it had no other choice when faced with possible extermination and after America turned its back....

The Test and one-day series between the sides both ended all square, but opener Kusal led the way with 77 at the top of the order after Bangladesh set a target of 156 for the win. Seekugge Prasanna and Thisara Perera rounded off the victory, the former hitting an unbeaten 22 from 12 deliveries to help see the Sri Lanka home. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat after a rain-delayed start, but saw opener Tamim Iqbal bowled for a duck by Lasith Malinga (2-38) after just two deliveries, in stark contrast to what his opposite number would achieve later in the match....

KXIP’s five-match losing streak in the first half of IPL 2020 had kickstarted against the Royals. Mayank Agarwal’s century had taken KXIP to a grand score of 223/2 in 20 overs. The inaugural champions made a solid start, and Rahul Tewatia’s half-century delivered the knockout blow to KL Rahul’s team. However, the IPL 2014 runners-up are a much more balanced unit right now. Chris Gayle’s arrival has stabilized the batting order, and KXIP will inch one step closer to the Top 4 by winning their upcoming match....

Which raises a fair question: How on earth do the Cavs, nearly devoid of assets attractive to rebuilding teams, keep making stealth trades that markedly bolster their championship chances? MORE: These 12 talented big men are on trading block This is the third straight season Cleveland has pulled off such a deal, meaning it’s happened around the midpoint of each season since LeBron James joined the team. Last year, it was the plucking of Channing Frye from Orlando in a three-team trade, for the small price of Anderson Varejao, Jared Cunningham and a future first-rounder....
