#OnThisDay in 1977 – Record crowd of 77,691 witness hosts #NewYorkCosmos (w/ #Pelé) defeat the #FortLauderdaleStrikers, 8:3, in 1st leg of #NASL Division Championship Playoff, at #GiantsStadium. Giorgio Chinaglia scored 3 times (hat-trick) for the Cosmos.

Arsenal made key signings for the "here and now". That doesn't quite make it "now or never", but the time has never been better The question is whether they've done enough for those final steps www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Interview with Mikel Arteta. In conversation it's easy to see how he connects with his players. He thinks so much about how to continually evolve, adapt and make things better - himself, the game, each player. The responsibility of transformation drives him. www.nytimes.com/athletic/655...
