Arsenal and Burnley fans clash in stands as stewards fail to control Turf Moor carnage

Johnny Marr has opened up about his recent spat with Morrissey, saying that he felt he had to “defend [himself].”Back in January, the former Smiths frontman asked Marr to stop mentioning him when giving interviews, in reference to an interview that Marr did with Uncut magazine where he mentioned Morrissey.Morrissey posted a lengthy open letter in which he asked Marr: “Would you please, instead, discuss your own career, your own unstoppable solo achievements and your own music? If you can, would you please just leave me out of it?”Marr responded at the time with his own Instagram post, writing: “An ‘open letter’ hasn’t really been a thing since 1953, It’s all ‘social media’ now. Even Donald J Trump had that one down. Also, this fake news business… a bit 2021 yeah?”Now, in a new interview with The Times, Marr was asked about his response to Morrissey to which he replied: “When you’re attacked out of the blue, particularly in public, you have to defend yourself.“The letter was designed to be insulting, wasn’t it? That has to have been the idea.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta created a “big problem for himself” by signing Aaron Ramsdale from Sheffield United this summer.Ramsdale, 23, was brought in to provide competition for Bernd Leno, who started the opening three Premier League games of the season for the Gunners but conceded nine goals.Meanwhile, Ramsdale made his debut in the 6-0 Carabao Cup win against West Brom last month and has cemented his place as the starting goalkeeper over the last two league matches, keeping two clean sheets in the process.But despite fans being ecstatic at the promise shown by their new £24million arrival, Robinson has questioned why Arsenal bought Ramsdale when they already had Leno, not believing

Arsenal took it back to basics against Burnley on Saturday, with footage from inside the club's makeshift changing room at Turf Moor a far cry from the plush surrounds of the Emirates.
