Elneny admission

"I have to wait for them to say 'Mo, we want you'. Since the first day I have been here, it has felt like a family. We really work like that here, it's such a beautiful club."

Carragher makes Arsenal and Tottenham Champions League admission
The race for the final Champions League place in the Premier League is over. At least that's according to Sky Sports analysts Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville.
Carragher said on Monday Night Football: "Spurs aren’t losing from that position, they’ll know right now, the players sat on the pitch, the scenes, the fans in the away end, there isn’t anybody in world football who believes Arsenal will have Champions League football next season, absolutely no chance."
Neville backed up his work mate by saying: "They (Spurs) need a point. They’ve (Arsenal) not recovered from Thursday night [losing to Tottenham] and it’ll be a struggle for them to recover from tonight for Sunday. Either Everton will be free or safe or Everton will be desperate. Arsenal, it is a problem a real problem."

Arteta reply
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has replied to Spurs manager Antonio Conte's criticism of the Spaniard complaining too much. When asked about Conte's claims, Arteta said: "What I have tried to do I think in three years here is not make any complaints," the 40-year-old said when asked about Conte's comments.
"I have no complaint and I didn't complain on Thursday. I just said I could not give a clear assessment on what I thought about the game. And that's it.
"Whatever we do we will try to defend the club in the right way like we have always tried to do. The other night I tried to do it as well.
"That was not trying to affect anybody. But I was being clear and honest. I think that is my job and my responsibility when I talk on behalf of the club to express how we feel. And if I cannot do it, I prefer not to.”
