They are looking certainties for the play-offs and have been improving rapidly lately, winning three of their last four games. .......Read the full article here

The ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry had a very emotional return to the club on Wednesday night, and he got such a great reception from the fans that he didn’t want to leave the pitch.

He also thinks that it was support like that that inspired Arsenal to their brilliant comeback against Barcelona.

“I was not surprised by what the Arsenal team did, not with these fans,” he said. “I have said it so many times that it always helps. They can be 2-0 down at home and if your fans start to boo you then it’s a different story – but the Arsenal fans were helping them, trying to make them come back in the game. However, I am not surprised at all because I know what can happen here.” .......Read the full article here
