I sensed the same belief and desire at Emirates Stadium on Sunday that we had at Highbury when I won Premier League titles with Arsenal back in the day.Right from the start, Arsenal's energy was just incredible and they were absolutely relentless in the way they kept coming forward, looking for the victory.

The Green Bay Packers schedule is out, and with it is Jordan Love's first full slate as starter.If all goes well, Love will win these three games and prove the front office right.The Green Bay Packers front office has a lot of Jordan Love stock.It all started when they selected him in 2020 despite having a then mid-30's Aaron Rodgers as a starter.

Bayern Munich loanee Malik Tillman has had a phenomenal season at Rangers FC.He got 14 goals in 28 games in a rather up and down season for the 2021 Scottish Premiership champions and even managed to make it into the PFA Team of the Year over in Scotland.All things considered, it's been a phenomenal season for the 20 year old.

How many people who watch the Bundesliga are concerned with the relegation zone?Not that many, especially if you're a Bayern Munich fan.But if you support a team directly in the relegation fight, then you might be excited, if not a bit disconcerted, to see that this season's relegation battle is shaping up to be one for the history books.

Julian Nagelsmann has Bayern Munich well poised to collect more silverware this season in what will be his second full season as manager of the club after taking over for sextuple-winning and current German national team manager Hansi Flick.During his tenure, there have been many questions asked of Nagelsmann, but on current form the Bavarians are trending upward.

Former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick announced his 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar last week.Some names were announced as expected, but some players like Mario Götze were more surprising.With major players such as Mats Hummels excluded, surely Flick has some strong intentions for Götze at the tournament.

It might seem that the Twitter logo in its current form has been around forever.The blue bird design is well known and has even survived Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform - at least for now.But the original Twitter logo was very different indeed.While Twitter is now synonymous with blue - in more ways than one after the rollout of the Twitter Blue paid verification service, the brand's colours were almost a soapy, slimy green complete with a water droplet effect, for some reason.

Insider Pete O'Rourke has claimed that Jurgen Klopp will stay at Liverpool next season and attempt to turn their failing fortunes around, rather than leave.What's the word?Liverpool have struggled all season, finding themselves out of both domestic cups, and are now 10th in the Premier League.Blame has mostly been placed at the owners for a lack of investment, the squad for their poor performances and now Klopp himself for the severe drop-off in quality from last year, when they nearly won a quadruple.

Liverpool will host Leicester City at Anfield tonight and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that his team can continue their current form after picking up their third consecutive win against Aston Villa on Boxing Day.Indeed, the Reds haven't had the best start to their Premier League season after several inconsistent performances which has left the side sixth in the league table at present.
