A trip to Devon meant updates were via a classmate’s radio but it gave me my first real glimpse of the power of football

It seems a little odd pitching a game I’ve not seen for this series. I wasn’t at Wembley, I didn’t watch on TV and I didn’t listen to it on the radio. How, then, I hear you say, can the 1998 FA Cup final between Arsenal and Newcastle possibly be my favourite game?

I had always been an Arsenal fan, I didn’t have a choice. I grew up in a council flat in Hackney where if you left the windows open on matchdays you could faintly hear the Highbury goal celebrations. I went to a primary school in Islington. My dad supported Arsenal, so did my grandad.

Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery's ex-girlfriend Sacha Wright, 35, has told British tabloid, The Sun that he blamed her for his sacking last year.

Unai, 48, who joined Arsenal on May 2018 on a two-year deal, was sacked by the team management in November last year, following a poor run. Sacha claimed that Unai called her a "white witch" and blamed her for his team's failure.

"I trusted Unai and believed we would get married and have kids. I thought he was a gentleman and a family man. But in the end I realised he was not ready for a serious relationship," said Sacha, who first dumped Unai in September only to take him back in December.

"It was then that he blamed me for getting him the sack. He said I was a white witch as I brought him bad luck. He said the team began losing the day we broke up," said Sacha, who finally left Unai in March.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba revealed while growing up he was an Arsenal fan. French international idolised Thierry Henry and wanted to follow the footsteps of the countryman.

"I will be honest. So, at the start, I was an Arsenal fan - obviously because of all the French players, you know. Me and my brother were but my other brother was a Manchester United fan," Pogba told United's official podcast.

"I couldn't say anything so I used to love Henry and, because of him, I was an Arsenal fan. Then I changed and went on to choose with my other brother. No Arsenal, I went with the other one, the United fan!" he added.

Pogba came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford while Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge but after only making a handful of appearances for the first team in 2011/12 he left for Juventus in the summer.

He re-joined United in 2016 from Juventus when Jose Mourinho was the manager as he saw it as an opportunity to finish what he had started.

Henry, who had left Arsenal for Barcelona by the time Pogba arrived in England, was not the only iconic Frenchman or all-time great that an energetic midfielder looked up to.

"I had Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, [Zinedine] Zidane, Thierry Henry, Djibril Cisse, Kaka," Pogba said.

Arsenal's squad will be allowed back to their training ground from next week, although the club stressed they would still have to maintain British government guidelines designed to combat the spread of the coronavirus. The Premier League side's players will have access to training pitches but on a strict rotational basis that will see them uphold social distancing measures. "Players will be permitted access to our London Colney training grounds next week," said a club spokesperson. "Access will be limited, carefully managed and social distancing will be maintained at all times.

"All Colney buildings remain closed. Players will travel alone, do their individual workout and return home." This week saw Arsenal become the first Premier League club to agree a coronavirus pay cut with their players as manager Mikel Arteta and his stars slashed their wages by 12.5 percent. There are reports Arsenal, whose yearly wage bill is around £230 million ($286 million), will give players their money back in the event that they bridge an eight-point gap and qualify for the Champions League when football restarts. Football is currently suspended indefinitely in England, with the UK under lockdown.

Despite an impressive scoring return, with 61 goals in 97 appearances, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is yet to win a trophy at the club or play in the Champions League.

The Spanish giants want to rejuvenate their forward line after failing to replace Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.

The French striker joined the Scottish Premiership champions in July 2018 for a reported fee of £9million, having also spent the previous campaign on loan at Parkhead.

The talented 18-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season for the Premier League side with 29 senior appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and making nine assists.

The Swiss FA revealed on Tuesday that they have been 'in contact with Granit' and insist 'his standing will not change' as captain of his country, despite his furious outburst towards Arsenal fans.

Aubameyang was heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp and although a move didn't materialise, Abidal said the club will look for a striker this summer and spoke highly of the Gabon international.

Boateng's relationship with Bayern has soured after he was fined by the club for breaking coronavirus guidelines regarding essential travel, while he is about to enter the last 12 months of his contract.

Jerome Boateng's year in the Premier League between 2010 and 2011 was one to forget. He failed to earn a first XI place at Manchester City and was often played out of position at right back.

Achraf Hakimi has developed into one of the most coveted full-backs in Europe after spending the last two seasons on loan at Borussia Dortmund from the Santiago Bernabeu side.

The Frenchman has fallen down the pecking order this season under Hansi Flick, having started just seven games under the new manager at the Allianz Arena.

Arsenal were warned against the signings of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez by their own head of recruitment in 2016, in the same window the club lost Serge Gnaby for just £5million.

The highly-rated French centre-back has a £52m buyout clause at Leipzig, who are keen to sell him this year as opposed to losing him for free upon the expiration of his contract next summer.

Stiller has only been part of Bayern's reserve side since January and is not yet part of the cabal of players able to train with Hansi Flick and the first-team stars.

Atletico Madrid are looking to ward off interest from Manchester United and Arsenal by giving Thomas Partey a new deal with a £93million release clause. 

Reports emerged over the weekend linking the Manchester United midfielder with a move to north London but the player himself wants to see out his current contract at Old Trafford.

The Ghanaian has become a key figure at the Wanda Metropolitano this season, featuring 35 times across all competitions to help Atletico reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

The Gunners spent a club record £52million to sign the Frenchman from Lyon in 2017 but he's fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates this season after scoring just nine goals in all competitions.

The £50million rated Ghanian international is thought to be Arteta's No1 target this summer with the club desperate for a defensive midfielder.

When Matteo Guendouzi joined Arsenal in an £8million deal from Ligue 2 side Lorient in the summer of 2018, his signing was meant to be one for the future.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly ready to double Thomas Partey's salary to £130,000 a week in order to fend off interest from Arsenal.

The Ghanaian midfielder has been heavily linked with a summer move to the Emirates and has a £43million release clause in his current deal - allowing the Gunners to snap him up on the cheap.

Thomas Partey's agent has dismissed claims made by the player's father, Jacob, that the Atletico Madrid star has entered negotiations to sign for Arsenal.

Thomas Partey's representatives have confirmed that there have been 'no conversations' between the midfielder and Arsenal, after reports linking him to the Gunners. 

Mikel Arteta had identified Partey as a transfer target earlier in the season, with the Gunners boss hoping to convince the board to strike a deal for the 26-year-old when football returns to normality.

Arsenal have already welcomed players back to their training ground for individual training and the rest of the top flight will be ordering stars to social distance when they return to training.
