2 Arsenal’s Stars To Blame For Bournemouth’s Defeat- Yannick Bolasie

Former Premier League player, Yannick Bolasie, has criticized Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi following the Gunners’ 2-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

He asserted that they were playing too conservatively, while goalkeeper David Raya was taking greater risks.

In a post on X, Bolasie remarked that Raya had more touches of the ball than the attacking players.

He further stated that both the players and the fans are overly focused on statistics, commenting, “All comes from Raya dancing on the ball like he has all game. When your back line is touching the ball more than any offensive players it’s a big problem, dead stats people get rated for these days.”

Raya attempted 49 passes during the match, successfully completing 38, whereas Rice managed 43 successful passes out of 50 attempts.

Zubimendi had only 38 attempted passes, with 29 completed, while the third midfielder, Kai Havertz, recorded 17 successful passes from 22 attempts.

Bolasie criticized the midfielders for their overly cautious play and stated, “Of course your pass rates gonna be 95% if you’re always passing backwards and side to side, same way wingers who don’t lose the ball aren’t trying to take on the full backs….safety first.

“Raya passing the ball more than Declan Rice or Zubimendi is the strange thing about football today, the players with the least attacking ability touching and passing the most.”

Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat has resulted in them missing the chance to extend their lead to 12 points over Manchester City.

They currently hold a nine-point advantage over the Cityzens, who have two games in hand, with the top two teams set to face each other next week.

Spain President Slams Donald Trump On Ceasefire Decision

Spain’s DEFIANT President Pedro Sanchez on Trump’s ceasefire: “We will not applaud those who set the world on fire.” Spanish President Pedro Sanchez just delivered the single best response to Trump’s ceasefire announcement that any leader on earth has given.

While others offered polite diplomatic nods, Sanchez went for the jugular:

“Ceasefires are always good news. Especially if they lead to a just and lasting peace. But this momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost.”

And then the line that will be remembered: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.”
That is the whole story of this war in one sentence.

Trump started this war without congressional authorization. He bombed schools, universities, pharmaceutical factories, vaccine research centers, a music school, and a synagogue.

He killed thousands of civilians. He sent American service members into harm’s way with so little planning that their families fled Bahrain with backpacks and had to beg for toothpaste when they landed. He drove gas to $4.30 a gallon.

He cratered global markets. He threatened to destroy “a whole civilization” on social media before breakfast. He alienated every ally America has.

And now he wants credit for the ceasefire.

This is the man who declared “Power Plant Day.” Who wrote “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards.” Who mocked Islam on Easter morning. Who fired the Army’s top general out of paranoia during a war. Whose spiritual advisers told him the bombing was fulfilling biblical prophecy.

Forty days of devastation. Thousands dead. Historic institutions reduced to rubble. Billions of taxpayer dollars burned.

And none of it needed to happen. Not a single day of it. He chose this.

Sanchez is right. You don’t get to start the fire and then take a bow for calling the fire department.

Emmanuel Macron fires back at Donald Trump over marriage Jibe

According to report by Vanguard on Thursday, April 2, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron has dismissed recent remarks made by U.S. President Donald Trump about his marriage, describing them as inappropriate and unworthy of any reply.

Speaking during a visit to Seoul, Macron said the comments lacked class and did not meet expected standards, insisting he would not engage with such statements.

The exchange comes amid rising tensions between both leaders over issues including NATO and the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

Speaking during a visit to Seoul, Macron said the comments lacked class and did not meet expected standards, insisting he would not engage with such statements.

The exchange comes amid rising tensions between both leaders over issues including NATO and the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

He also made personal remarks suggesting Macron’s wife treated him poorly, referencing an earlier viral video that had been widely dismissed by the French president as misleading.

Reacting to the situation, Macron emphasized that global attention should remain on serious matters, particularly efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and work toward a ceasefire.

He warned against excessive rhetoric, stressing the importance of stability, calm, and peace, and adding that international affairs should not be treated as entertainment.

Trump’s comments drew criticism across the French political spectrum. Yael Braun-Pivet, head of France’s lower house of parliament, condemned the remarks as inappropriate, highlighting the gravity of global conflicts and accusing Trump of making light of serious issues.

Even opposition figure Manuel Bompard, a frequent critic of Macron, defended the president, describing Trump’s comments about both Macron and his wife as unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Trump continued his criticism of NATO, calling the alliance ineffective and questioning its reliability in major conflicts. He also hinted that the United States might reassess its relationship with NATO after the Iran situation stabilizes, further deepening concerns about transatlantic unity.

In the Instagram post, Moyo wore a simple grey zip-up top and matching pants while seated in a salon chair. She added a caption laced with sarcasm:

Arsene Wenger Proposed New Offside Rule To Be Officially Launch

Arsène Wenger’s proposed offside reform finally moves from the drawing board to the pitch. Starting April 4th, the new regulation will officially launch, with the Canadian league serving as the global testing ground.

The move, championed by FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development, aims to end “toenail” offsides and restore a clear advantage to attacking play.

What is the New Rule?

The current “any scoring part of the body” rule is being flipped on its head. Under the new “Daylight” rule:

To be ONSIDE: An attacker is considered onside if any part of their body that can score a goal is in line with the second-to-last defender.

To be OFFSIDE: The attacker must be completely past the defender. There must be visible “daylight” between the two players for the whistle to blow.

FIFA’s Objectives

In an official statement, FIFA outlined the reasoning behind the trial:

“This new rule should give attackers a slight advantage and help matches flow more smoothly. By reducing the number of marginal calls, we aim to encourage more goals and fewer VAR-induced celebrations-delays.”

Tinubu doesn’t want elections in 2027 – Dino Melaye

Former Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu does not want elections to hold next year.

Speaking on Channels Television on Thursday morning, Melaye also said the All Progressive Congress, APC, has become so desperate.

He said: “The APC has become so desperate. They have seen that ADC is the only opposition we have in Nigeria to challenge.“They have seen the exodus of people from various political parties into the ADC and they are panicked.

“I’m shocked why they are panicked. You say you have 32 governors, so why are you afraid?“It is not about ADC. It is about democracy. “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wants to be coronated. He does not want an election.“It is a Kabiyesi mentality.”

Melaye’s comments come hours after INEC removed the names of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola from its official portal as National Chairman and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, respectively.

The electoral body also said it will not recognize factions within the party or monitor any conventions or congresses organised by groups aligned with the affected leaders

NLC Shuts Down AEDC Operations In Abuja

The Nigeria Labour Congress has shut down the offices of Abuja Electricity Distribution in Abuja, Kogi, Nasarawa, and Niger over the mass sacking of over 900 workers.

According to DAILY POST, the Disco’s headquarters in Abuja, areas in the nation’s capital and other offices in Kogi, Minna, Niger, and Nasarawa States are under locks and keys as of Wednesday morning.

This comes a day after the NLC, led by its president, Joe Ajaero, picketed AEDC’s headquarters over the controversial disengagement of nearly 900 workers.

Explaining the crisis, Ajaero said it dates back to about six months when AEDC management claimed the disengagement would affect only workers who had reached retirement age or were on the verge of retiring; however, the reverse was the case.

“At that time, the union intervened based on that understanding. No responsible labour leader would oppose the exit of workers who have legitimately reached retirement age.

“ The majority of those affected were not at retirement age. Some had not even spent up to five or six years in service. In fact, many had only worked for two to three years. That is the height of deceit,” he declared.

Darkness looms in Abuja, three states

NLC on Tuesday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to AEDC management to resolve the matter or face escalated industrial action that could cripple electricity supply in the Federal Capital Territory and three other states.

“If nothing is done within that time, we cannot guarantee power supply. The workers who keep the system running will stay at home, and if they are not at work, the system will naturally be affected,” he warned.
