ARSENAL ARE ON COURSE TO CONCEDE 14 GOALS ALL SEASON: CAN THEY BREAK CHELSEA'S RECORD?

Image
  Gunners Keep Another Clean Sheet and Target Historic Defensive Performance Arsenal kept yet another clean sheet at the weekend in their 1-0 win over Fulham. That puts them on course to break one of the Premier League's most impressive defensive records. And doing that would surely be enough to earn them their first title in 21 years. AN UNTOUCHABLE RECORD? In an era when human performance and sports science continue to advance at a remarkable pace there are very few football records that remain truly untouchable. Just look at what Erling Haaland is doing to so many goalscoring records. But Chelsea's 2004-05 Premier League campaign remains one of the great exceptions . José Mourinho's side conceded just 15 goals on their way to the Premier League title a record that has stood unchallenged for two decades and many believe it's one that will never be broken. No team has come close since. Chelsea themselves conceded 22 times the following season and along with Man...

Have they already moved on? IS THIS THE END FOR JUSTIN FIELDS? The ex-Ohio State star who was selected 11th overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft was sat down by New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn at halftime of Sunday's 13-6 home loss to the Carolina Panthers . Like he's done for stretches throughout his five years in the league Fields had displayed glimpses of greatness in his Jets debut when he racked up 266 total yards and three total touchdowns in a 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 7. Though he missed part of Week 2 and all of Week 3 due to a concussion Fields' numbers weren't bad through the first five weeks on the surface. In those three starts he averaged 242.3 passing yards with four TDs and no picks. He added 155 rushing yards and ...
