Wenger stuns Arsenal team by quitting after almost 22 years

Wenger stuns Arsenal team by quitting after almost 22 years Arsene Wenger gathered his Arsenal players to drop a bombshell before training on Friday morning. After almost 22 years in charge of the north London club, the manager was leaving.

The agenda for Manchester City on Sunday, the last day of the season, was simple: Defeat fourth-to-last-place Queens Park Rangers to claim the club’s first Premier League crown since 1968. Easier said than done.

The Premier League title may not have been the piece of silverware City 's ownership had on their minds this season, but few people associated with the blue side of Manchester will care about that today.

Manchester City won the Premier League title without even playing on Sunday when its rival and nearest challenger Manchester United surprisingly lost 1-0 at home to last-place West Bromwich Albion.

It was City's third title in seven seasons and easily its most convincing, with Pep Guardiola's team 16 points clear and still having five games to play this season. City's other two Premier League triumphs, in 2012 and 2014, were sealed on the final day.

Manchester City have won the Barclays Premier League title with a 2-0 defeat over West Ham United at home. Goals either side of half-time from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany saw City capture the title with an easy victory.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's club enters the new Premier League season as the defending champion, but Manchester City is the team to beat, according to Premier The 2017-18 season starts with differing moods among the men who will contest the title in the world’s richest league .

Second-place United dragged the title race out for at least another week by winning 3-2 at City last weekend, only to gift the trophy to City by losing to a team that is destined for relegation and had just one league win since August.

Guardiola might not have seen Jay Rodriguez's 73rd-minute winning goal at Old Trafford because he was due to be playing golf with his son instead of watching the match.

Instead of City likely clinching the title at home to Swansea next weekend, that game at Etihad Stadium will now be a party and a celebration of one of the Premier League's finest teams which could yet break a host of records by the end of the season.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is defending her comparison of Ontario Progressive Leader Doug Ford to U.S. President Donald Trump this week, saying she doesn't think her remarks will undermine the province's trade relationship with the U.S. in any way.
