“I question myself all the time" admitted the Frenchman after the game, but he still gets things right more often than not Michael Regan - The FA Back in the game: Wenger has silenced his critics at last Trophies, glory, ­adornment. But ­sometimes the only thing that matters is that you win. For Arsene Wenger,  that moment came at Wembley on Saturday. The Frenchman  helped change English football and was responsible for Arsenal’s greatest era. Three titles, four FA Cups, including Doubles in 1998 and 2002, the Invincibles, a ­glittering seven-year spell. But after the feast, the famine, one which has stalked Wenger with increasing ­vehemence. With each missed ­opportunity, pain has increased. Doubts have been raised. Questions asked. When the ‘shoo-in’ cup final saw Arsenal two down after 12 minutes, the ­repercussions might have been enormous, a tidal wave to engulf and ­overwhelm even Wenger’s self-belief. But Arsenal dug themselves out of that deep hole of their o

4 000 China nationals await Vietnam evacuation

Image
Thousands of Chinese nationals are awaiting evacuation from riot-hit Vietnam, state-run media said on Monday, as Hanoi moved to stifle fresh protests over a territorial dispute between the two countries. More than 3 000 Chinese have already returned home from Vietnam, reports said at the weekend, and according to the Global Times newspaper another 4 000 were to be evacuated. Two Chinese vessels arrived in Vietnam's Ha Tinh province on Monday morning and will sail back to China in the evening, the People's Daily said on a verified Twitter account. China said on Sunday it was dispatching five ships to bring home nationals. Relations between the Communist neighbours have plummeted following China's move earlier this month to send a deep-water drilling rig into contested waters in the South China Sea.

Almost 800 000 voters had a choice between former finance minister Jose Mario Vaz, who won the first round on 13 April but failed to get an outright majority, and runner-up Nuno Gomes Nabiam, an independent. Vaz told reporters as he arrived at a Bissau polling station with his wife Celestina that party colleagues had been attacked by "armed men" trying to influence the outcome. "Some of my party's leaders have been intimidated by armed men who attacked them or their homes. That is unacceptable," said Vaz, who was flanked by bodyguards. His African Party for th

Why I did not go to Chibok – Jonathan

Image
