Arsenal will welcome Villarreal to the Emirates on Thursday for the Europa League semi-finals second leg, the result of which will make-or-break the North Londoners’ season. The Spanish side will go into the game with a lot of confidence and up 2-1 in the tie, but if there is one man who can help the Gunners turn the tie on its head, it is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The striker has scored 15 goals this season, but that has to be considered a disappointing return, considering his ability and paygrade. Lofty standards have been set by the former Borussia Dortmund man due to all that he has accomplished during his time in England.

Arsenal will have the unenviable task of overcoming a deficit against Villarreal to reach the final of the Europa League. With a few big names set to miss out on Thursday, what is their team news looking like?

Trailing in a knockout tie is not a nice position to be in but that’s where the Gunners find themselves. The one good thing from the first leg was the away goal scored by Nicolas Pepe. Mikel Arteta will want his players to take the momentum from Sunday’s win over Newcastle United, and take the fight to the visitors.

Arsenal face a herculean task if they hope to reach the Europa League final when they host Villarreal on Thursday night. Given the importance of this game, how will Mikel Arteta be approaching it with his team selection?

Being 2-1 down is not the ideal way to enter a second leg. However, the North London club did manage to get a priceless away goal and that has the potential to be a decisive factor. But as we saw last week, the Spanish side are always capable of breaking through the Gunners’ defence.

Poker and Gambling: Sport or Entertainment?

May 5, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Many consider that the eternal rivalry between the Soviet chess players Karpov-Kasparov mediatized and, therefore, normalized the presence of non-physical sports. Since then, chess became a mental sport par excellence. But is it the only one? Certainly not. The international association of mental sports recognizes many other board games such as Go, Chinese chess, mahjong, checkers, and card games like bridge and poker.

However, although this recognition came in 2010, poker still carries the stigma surrounding most mind sports, especially those in which gambling is involved to a greater or lesser extent. This is a historical claim of any professional poker player who has felt neglected on numerous occasions as an athlete.

Michigan LHP Steven Hajjar: MLB Draft First Round Prospect Profile

May 4, 2021 By Leave a Comment
Share

There is a lot of varying opinion about where Michigan Wolverines left-handed pitcher Steven Hajjar might go in this summer’s Major League Baseball draft. There is consensus though that he’s the most blue chip prospect in the Big Ten.

His MLB Draft stock is actually much higher than anyone else in the league, and his status as a lefty no doubt as something to do with that, as there is always a premium placed on southaw prospects. All drafts are just a roll of the dice, you never know what you’re going to get, and the baseball draft is no different.

Manchester United are currently recovering from the aftermath of Sunday, when a couple hundred supporters stormed Old Trafford, crashed the pitch, did some damage and got the biggest annual game in England canceled.

The whole world was watching, as an angry, belligerent subset of the United fan base showcased their discontent for the club’s ownership, and got the Liverpool match called off. United’s next match is (fortunately, I guess) on the road, where they’ll face AS Roma, who just a couple hours ago, hired MUFC’s most recent former manager, Jose Mourinho.
