Arsenal: Bukayo Saka says ‘this is the year’ Gunners end long wait for Premier League title
Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka says “this is the year” the Gunners will end their 21-year wait for a Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta’s side have finished second behind Manchester City for the past two seasons and have not lifted the trophy since Arsene Wenger’s ‘invincibles’ side of 2003-04.
They are currently third in the table, level on points with second-placed City and a point behind leaders Liverpool after six games.
“I don’t want to put too much pressure on us but I do think that this is the year [Arsenal win the title],” Saka told CBS Sports.
“I think we’ve been close the last two years and we’re getting closer, but this hopefully will be the year.”
As well as finishing second in the Premier League, Saka was also part of the England team that lost back-to-back European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024.
The 23-year-old says that disappointment is fuelling his determination to win trophies this campaign, with results such as Tuesday’s 2-0 Champions League win against Paris St-Germain proof they can compete with the best teams.
“Previous years, I’ve come runners-up a lot. It’s just that spirit in me that I want to win this season and of course, I believe in myself a lot,” he told Amazon Prime.
“With those two things, it helps. We believe in ourselves, we believe we’re a top team. We showed that tonight [against Paris St-Germain]. I did tell the boys we have to make a statement when big teams are coming to the Emirates.”

Man Utd star Rasmus Hojlund slammed as ‘rubbish’ and ‘poor’ by Ben Foster for injuring team-mate in training
MANCHESTER UNITED ace Rasmus Hojlund was dubbed “rubbish” and “poor” by ex-England goalkeeper Ben Foster after breaking a team-mate’s tooth during training.
The incident took place last summer before Euro 2024 when Hojlund, 21, linked up with Denmark to prepare for the tournament in Germany.

The Danish national team organised an “optional” set-piece training that would see them working on corner-kicks with Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, 24, between the sticks.
A cross was whipped in from the corner and Hermansen was set to pick the ball up in the air.
However, Hojlund got a little overzealous as he went for the ball with full force and accidentally elbowed the keeper in the mouth.
That led to the Leicester ace losing a tooth just before the European Championship.
Hermansen discussed the incident in Foster’s Fozcast podcast: “You know as a goalkeeper sometimes when you have set-piece practice. It’s like, ‘Are we going 100 per cent? Are we just a bit easy?’
“So we were with the national team just before the Euros, it was optional training, you could come in and train if you want.
“So let’s do some corners. I go: ‘Keepers!’ And he just comes in with everything, elbow straight to my tooth.”
Foster, 41, was not at all impressed with Hojlund after hearing the story and didn’t hold back on his assessment as he insisted the striker should have “taken it easy” considering it was just a training session.

The ex-United goalkeeper responded: “Cheers Rasmus, appreciate that. That’s rubbish that. I’m not having that, it’s poor.
“When you’re doing it in a bit of practice set-piece thing, you’ve got to take it easy. You can’t go full blooded like that.”
However, Hermansen defended Hojlund and insisted he is a real “professional”.
The Danish shot stopper replied: “He is that kind of guy and I love that about him.
“He’s giving everything, always. He’s just got an exceptional way of being a professional.”

'Gritty, ugly, physical game' – HC Matt Rhule on how Nebraska can defeat Indiana | Big Noon Kickoff
“Gritty, ugly, physical game.” – Head Coach Matt Rhule on how the Nebraska Cornhuskers can defeat the Indiana Hoosiers.

Football Focus pundits Leon Osman and Fara Williams discuss the appointment of “proven winner” Thomas Tuchel as new England manager.
Lance Stroll is the first person to admit his sense of style has come a long way since he joined the Formula 1 grid almost a decade ago. The 25-year-old Aston Martin Racing driver, whose resume includes three podiums from more than 160 race starts, was a self-confessed “sweatpants and t-shirt guy” in the early years of his career.
Although he’s still a fan of relaxed silhouettes and laid-back ensembles, it’s clear he’s taken some cues from his dad, fashion mogul turned F1 team owner, Lawrence Stroll. “I’ve always been around good taste in fashion,” Lance told Motorsport at BOSS’ Austin store ahead of the US Grand Prix. “I’ve been taught to have an eye for what looks good.”

Lawrence made his billions working with the likes of Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger, cementing his place in the fashion industry. Stroll Sr. became such a staple of the business that in 2004, he was selected by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to co-chair the Met Gala — an honour that was recently bestowed upon Lewis Hamilton, who will co-chair the 2025 event.
“Maybe I’d attend down the line,” Lance said when asked whether he has any interest in the glitzy New York City soirée. “I’m thinking more about race cars right now,” he added.
As for his on-track clothing, the Canadian revealed he has some long-held superstitions surrounding his boots, gloves and even underwear.
“You’re going to be pretty grossed out, but I try to drag [my racing boots] out for a whole season,” he said.
“They get more comfortable over time as they’re broken-in but there’s an element of superstition in there, too. If you have a good race during the season you kind of want to hang onto the boots and the gloves,” he said.
“I had lucky underwear for a bit, but that’s when I was eight years old and then I got to 13 or 14 and they started getting tight so I had to give up that superstition.”
