1 Arsenal v Everton is live on talkSPORT at 5.30pm on Saturday 24 October.Gunners manager Arsene Wenger will have to do without midfielder Aaron Ramsey for at least another month.The Welshman injured his hamstring during Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League win against Bayern and is out until after the next round of international friendlies which begin on 13 November.“I believe he will be out until after the next international break,” Wenger said, meaning the earliest Ramsey could be available to play is the 21 November.However, not all Gooners are seeing it as a huge blow and believe it could mean a chance for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to grab a place in the first team… Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to replace Aaron Ramsey?

Diehard Arsenal supporter and outspoken TV host Piers Morgan has admitted – through gritted teeth – that it’s a good time to be a Tottenham fan.Spurs rose above their north London rivals to third place in the Premier League as Harry Kane fired a fine brace in a 3-0 win over Norwich on Tuesday.Arsenal, meanwhile, failed to score in a third successive league game as they fell away from the title chasing pack with a 0-0 draw with a steadfast Southampton.Spurs have NEVER finished above Arsenal during Arsene Wenger’s reign as Gunners boss, but many are tipping them as title contenders this season due to their fine form – they have lost just three times and have the top flight’s best defensive record with just 19 goals conceded.Morgan is a fierce anti-Wenger campaigner – “If I could give him a Valentine’s Day present, it would be a P45” – and he had one more warning for his fellow Arsenal fans who believe the Frenchman is still the right man to lead the Gunners.“If Arsenal fans are listening, and you spent the last seven years telling me I’m wrong, just imagine how we’re going to feel if Tottenham are Premier League champions,” he said on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.“They’ve got the best defence, a good goalkeeper, a very creative midfield and, in Harry Kane if he stays fit, one of the best red-hot strikers in Europe never mind just this country.“If I was a Tottenham fan I would be feeling pretty good right now, I’m afraid.”Asked what he’d do if Spurs DID win the league title this season, Morgan joked: “I’d have to emigrate.”

When the council signed on last year to the mayor’s plan to boost the dangerously thin force of the Los Angeles Police Department by hiking the trash fee, they promised to use the money only for new cops. But the flexibility of that promise became clear last week when Bernard Parks, chairman of the council’s budget and finance group, suggested that those funds be used to plug operating shortfalls, not to hire new cops. Parks insists he wasn’t betraying the public because he always left open the possibility of using the money for other purposes. Vowing that Parks & Co. would have to divert the money over his “dead body,” Villaraigosa was unequivocal: “Expanding the Police Department is a promise we made to the city and one I want to make.” Council gives up – for now – in fight against mayor’s effort to hire more cops IN his latest battle with the Los Angeles City Council over LAPD hiring, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa came out a winner. But he and the public will have to be vigilant to win the war, because the council once again had its fingers crossed when it surrendered. The council on Friday agreed to let the Los Angeles Police Department continue hiring, but added a huge caveat – that it must be notified when hiring exceeds 226 new officers beyond the existing force. Hiring cops didn’t cause the financial hole facing the city. Bad decisions did. And it’s up to the mayor to make sure that that promise, sincere or not, is kept.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

1 Manchester United youngster Paddy McNair has revealed Jose Mourinho contacted him to wish him luck ahead of Northern Ireland’s Euro 2016 campaign.Mourinho was named as Louis van Gaal’s replacement at Old Trafford two weeks, the Portuguese boss taking over from the man who handed McNair his United debut in 2014.The defender has since totalled 21 appearances for his club, and good form has seen him named in Northern Ireland’s squad for the European Championships.The 21-year-old has won nine caps for his country, and he has revealed Mourinho has wished him luck ahead of the tournament.McNair said: “He sent me a text message wishing me good luck for the tournament – that was nice of him.“I’m sure he’ll be watching and I’ll be trying my best and hopefully he likes what he sees.”Another youngster to be given his debut by Van Gaal at Old Trafford is Marcus Rashford, whose incredible rise to prominence sees him as part of England’s squad for the Euros.The promising striker is unlikely to start for the Three Lions when their campaign gets underway against Russia on Saturday, but McNair has no doubts Rashford will develop into a top class star in the future.“He’s a very good player,” he added.“He came in at the end of season and it was breathtaking, in a way, how well he adapted, the goals he scored.“You see him in training, he’s got a lot of ability and I think he will be a top player.” Paddy McNair is part of Northern Ireland’s squad for Euro 2016

Firefighters stay on the scene during the burn and after the flames subside and the pile is hot. Crews also continually evaluate the weather and fuel conditions, officials said. Crews have already been out in the forest burning. On Tuesday alone, Miller estimated crews burned some 500 piles. “Some areas do get a lot of these piles,” Miller said. “And we can burn 800 to 1,000 piles in a day.” The agency has also been putting the word out as a way to ease the fears of mountain visitors, many of whom are unaware of the program and who might be alarmed at seeing smoke rising from the forest, Miller said. Tis the season to burn debris, say U.S. Forest Service officials. Chilly weather conditions have allowed the fire crews to burn piles of what they call slash and debris that have accumulated throughout the San Bernardino National Forest, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller. “We’re building piles during the summer and burning them in the winter,” Miller said. “That allows us to get rid of unnecessary fuel.” That means less things to burn during the dry and warm fire season. The smoking is normal and the burning is necessary and effective, he said. In an area off of Sonoma and Brentwood drives in Lake Arrowhead, 244 acres were cleared and rehabilitated as part of the Tunnell II project, Miller said. During the Grass Valley Fire in late October, flames burned right to the area and stalled. “When it ran into the project area, it basically became a ground fire,” Miller said. The most recent efforts to clear the debris have been focused in part of the Angelus Oaks area along Highway 38. Miller anticipated crews to begin burning slash piles northeast of Lake Arrowhead in January. Fuel reduction projects near mountain communities will continue through the spring and summer months, according to a Forest Service news release. The projects include removing dead trees, and thinning, creating and stacking of even more piles of dense brush that will burn during this wet season, officials said. The pile burning locations are: Northeast Lake Arrowhead – East of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Banff and the Northshore Campground. Smoke will be visible from Lake Arrowhead, Green Valley and from Highway 18 near the Heaps Peak Transfer Station. Barton Flats/Angelus Oaks – Above and below Highway 38 near Angelus Oaks and Jenks Lake. Smoke and flames will be visible from the highway in the area. Motorists traveling along Highway 18 in the Arctic Circle near Snow Valley will see smoke from the project that will occasionally be visible from Highway 330. gina.tenorio@sbsun.com (909) 386-3854160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.
