Australia clears Abbot Point coal terminal expansion in a win for Adani

“The Premier League has so much financial power that the lower teams who spent a bit less, they can still buy the best players in Valencia, in Lyon, and that makes the league much more competitive”, the Gunners boss said. Their defence of their league title last season was poor but they still finished second and are the favourites to take the crown this term.
In the whole of 2014, Arsenal played 38 games, winning 20 games, drawing 10 and losing 8 (as opposed to this year, in which they won 23, drew 6 and lost 6 in 35 games).

“I do not want to assess any other things about Chelsea”, he said. The Hornets sit seventh after an impressive first 16 games back in the top flight, yet none of their 25 points have been accrued in a live televised game, with home defeats to Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Manchester United all coming in front of the live cameras.
