      ‘Tell me Arteta didn’t say that,’ says Piers Morgan after Arsenal manager’s ’embarrassing’ trophy claim

      by

      PIERS MORGAN was left flabbergasted by Mikel Arteta’s defence of his trophy haul at Arsenal.Arteta has transformed his former club into bonafide title contenders since replacing Unai Emery at the Emirates helm in December 2019.Mikel Arteta guided Arsenal to FA Cup glory in his debut season at the clubCredit: AFPThe Spaniard also counts the Gunners’ Community Shield triumphs during his reign as major trophiesCredit: APGunners superfan Piers Morgan was left stunned by Arteta’s commentsThe north Londoners, however, only have one major trophy to show for all of their manager’s hard work – the 2019-20 FA Cup.But the Gunners’ Spanish supremo insists he’s a THREE-TIME trophy winner.When it was put to him that he’d only won one trophy, the 42-year-old replied: “And the charity shield as well, twice, no? So it’s three.”Arteta’s comments quickly came to the attention of Arsenal superfan Morgan, who wrote on X: “Oh no… please tell me Arteta didn’t say that?”READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSMorgan’s followers were quick to react, with one saying: “Yes he did.”Another said: “He didn’t lie though, did he?”And another said: “That’s his idea of success.”One remarked with a series of laughing emojis: “That great mentality – small club.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMikel Arteta’s striker shopping listBy Jordan DaviesARSENAL are stepping up plans to sign a world-class striker in the summer after their Champions League heartbreak.Mikel Arteta splashed out £204.5m last summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.But the Spanish manager accepts he needs a proven goalscorer to take the club to the next level.And here are the players he is looking at to get the Gunners firing:BENJAMIN SESKO (RB Leipzig, value £40m-£45m)One for the future at 20 years old. Scored 16 goals for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and the Slovenian has carried on that good form in Germany with Leipzig this campaign.VIKTOR GYOKERES (Sporting Lisbon, value £60m-£80m)Been scouted several times this season. The Swedish striker, 25, is more of a traditional No 9 so may not suit Arsenal’s demand for flexibility but would bring a physicality that boss Mikel Arteta craves.ALEXANDER ISAK (Newcastle, value £75m-£85m)Impressed in his first two seasons in English football. The Swede, 24, has the pace and finesse to match his finishing ability, and Eddie Howe’s Toon may need to sell to balance the books this summer.JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (Bologna, value £45m-£50m)Dutch wonder  is attracting the attentions of clubs across Europe. At 6ft 4in the 22-year-old forward would have no trouble adapting to the Premier League and already has an eye for goal.XAVI SIMONS (RB Leipzig, value £70m-£80m)An incredible talent in the Bukayo Saka mould, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The future of the Dutch attacker, 20, depends on how much money his parent club want to make from him.Another chimed in: “Arteta is the new [Erik] Ten Hag. except Ten Hag won two real trophies in less time.”Arteta’s troops could take a giant step towards their first major trophy in nearly five years tomorrow night in their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace.Arsenal could turn to Tierney as Arteta hints at January transfer spree He said of the cup run: “It is really helpful, it brings belief, trust, positive energy, touching the cup, and being in the semi-final and beating somebody in the final.“It is that energy and it creates the right path to go and do something else, particularly because of the timing and when the competition is played in this country, it gets that momentum going.“I fully believe in that, the fact that you are winning and you get into the next round and it creates something different around the team and that is why these kind of games are so important.“It keeps everyone on their toes and everyone is willing to play those games and those competitions and if you can win it is momentum and belief and you are ready.”The team is engaged every three days so to try to achieve that for the bigger ones.” More

      How does the Unify League work?

      by

      THREE years after the Super League was canned following a severe fan-led backlash, a rebranded version called the Unify League has been put forward by promoters A22.Here’s everything you need to know about the newly proposed competition and how it would work.Fan protests scuppered the proposed Super LeagueHow does the Unify League work?The Unify League, a rebranded version of the European Super League, is a proposed football competition aiming to challenge UEFA’s Champions League.Unlike the widely panned Super League, which would have seen 12 breakaway rebels — including the Premier League’s Big Six — guaranteed entry, all positions will be earned by domestic performances in the previous campaign.The Unify League would consist of 96 teams from across Europe taking part each year.Qualification would be similar to the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.read more on the unify leagueHow does the Unify League work?A NEW version of the European Super League has been proposed – now branded as the Unify League. Here’s all you need to know about how it works…Who plays in it?The proposed competition would see 96 teams from across Europe taking part each year.All positions will be earned by performances in domestic competitions the previous campaign – just as it currently is with the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.What’s the format?There would be FOUR leagues: Star League, Gold League, Blue League and Union League.The top two divisions, Star and Gold, would each have 16 teams in them, split into two groups of eight.The groups of eight would play each other home and away, a total of 14 matches per club each season.The bottom two divisions, Blue and Union, would have 32 teams each, split into four groups of eight.They would also play each other home and away.In the Star and Gold leagues, the top four of each group would play a two-legged quarter-final.In the Blue and Union, it would be the top two teams from each group making up the quarter-finals.The winners of those matches would then progress to a “final four” week of one off matches to provide the champions of the four different leagues. Those games would be played on a neutral ground.How many English teams will take part?The Premier League would have three guaranteed entrants in the Star League.Two English teams would go into the Gold League.Up to five further slots for Prem teams would be spread across the remaining pair.FormatThe 96 clubs would be divided into four tiers:Star League: 16 teamsGold League: 16 teamsBlue League: 32 teamsUnion League: 32 teamsThe top two divisions, Star and Gold, would each have 16 teams in them, split into two groups of eight.The groups of eight would play each other home and away, a total of 14 matches per club each season.Most read in FootballThe bottom two divisions, Blue and Union, would have 32 teams each, split into four groups of eight, who would also play each other home and away.Knockout stagesThe top four of each group would play a two-legged quarter-final In the Star and Gold leagues.SunSport’s Jordan Davies reacts to first Champions League draw under radical new formatIn Blue and Union, the top two teams from each group would make up the quarter-finalists.The winners of those matches would then progress to a “final four” week of one-off matches, played on a neutral ground, providing the champions of the four different leagues.Throughout the competition, the winning side would play a total of 18 matches.Promotion & relegationAnnual promotion and relegation would occur between the leagues.Promotion into the Blue League would be based on domestic league performance.A22 envisages the 14 league phase games being played between September and April.How many English teams will take part?The Premier League would have three guaranteed entrants in the Star League.Two English teams would go into the Gold League. Up to five further slots for Premier League teams would be spread across the remaining pair.Women’s competitionA women’s competition would run alongside the men’s.However it would feature two leagues instead of four — just the Star and Gold Leagues.Start date & prizesWhile no formal start date has been set, SunSport understands that there is a provisional target of competition launch in September 2026.The prize fund is also yet to be confirmed, but A22 promises £330m in “solidarity” payments to smaller clubs and countries.The total prize fund is expected to exceed the current £2bn for the Champions League and £700m for the Europa and Conference Leagues combined.Unify streaming platformThe Unify League would be streamed through a branded Unified platform, accessible via an app, which would feature:Live match streamingFree-to-watch matches with advertisingA subscription option to eliminate ads and access premium featuresHighlights, match insights, analysis and club-specific contentInteractive fan community featuresStreaming for both men’s and women’s matchesChallengesThe December 2023 ruling from the European Courts stated that Uefa’s attempts to stop a breakaway tournament went against EU law, potentially paving the way for the Unify League.Despite this ruling, the Unify League faces significant hurdles:Premier League clubs are currently unable to join due to UK government legislation.The proposal still needs official recognition and approval from various football governing bodies.There is likely to be continued resistance from fans and traditional football institutions.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Unify League represents a bold attempt to reshape European football, offering a new competition structure and innovative streaming model.However, its success will depend on overcoming substantial regulatory, legal and cultural obstacles in the football world.Will the Unify League get off the ground?By Martin LiptonThe biggest complaint about the original European Super League was it was a closed shop.But the Unify League proposal would see teams qualify on merit, just as they do for the current Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.But whether people accept it is another matter.Many people will still think this is just another version of the same old thing, the rich wanting to get richer.Maybe that’s right, but I can see the appeal for the clubs here – one of which will be a prize fund much bigger than what is currently offered for competing in Europe.I think there’s a genuine chance that this could be the first thing that brings down the UEFA dominance of club competitions.But there are a lot of obstacles in the way.It’s proposed that it could start in September 2026.I don’t believe it can be as quick as 18 months, but money talks.We are into uncharted territory.This is very different from April 2021 when the whole thing crashed and burned so quickly.This could be real.This could happen and if it did, would change the face of football.
