Midfielder Jack Wilshere has been linked with a move to Manchester City in several newspapers but Wenger says the Gunners can now keep hold of their stars.

"We are not in a position any more where we have to sell our best players," he said.

Di Laurentiis was furious after his team continued their recent poor run of form by losing out to Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi-final.

A run of five Serie A matches without a win has seen the Italian club drop from third place to sixth in the league table.

"I want discipline," Di Laurentiis said. "I have never failed to pay salaries or even delayed them. I have spent 386 million euros (£280m) on the purchase of players in 10 years and I demand commitment."

Dave in Bournemouth in text: As a Liverpool fan this season was all about building and we shouldn't be looking at bad recent results but the awful start to our campaign which Rogers has turned around. A lot of people knocking Liverpool last night which I think is a disservice to Blackburn. We played some good football with three defenders who don't play regularly.

Wales football fans could be excused for suffering from a nosebleed this morning after the latest Fifa rankings.

Arsene Wenger rounds his news conference off by saying striker Olivier Giroud is "playing his best football". Having scored in six consecutive matches, he does have a point doesn't he?

That got us thinking about high-pressure situations in sport - a single kick or hit to decide your fate maybe? Perhaps you have been involved in a similar situation? Have you played a sporting contest that lasted just a few seconds?

Talk about pressure...

England women's U19's European Championship qualifying game against Norway will see the final seconds replayed - restarting from a 96th-minute penalty.

In the original game, England were 2-1 down when they were awarded a 96th minute penalty, which was disallowed because of encroachment.

Instead of ordering a re-take the referee gave Norway a free-kick and England went on to lose 2-1 and the closing stages are set to to be replayed in Belfast tonight - not before they play Switzerland in a group game though.

Incredible stuff.

"We had a difficult start this season and we had many players out. Since then we have found our cohesion and we have moved forward.

"Olivier Giroud is in outstanding form and has improved the quality of his game."
