CONSISTENCY key for Wenger


Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal′s Premier League title hopes remain alive‚ provided they can put together a consistent end to the campaign.
A 6–0 defeat at Chelsea last week was followed by a 2–2 draw at home to Swansea City on Tuesday‚ although another draw on Saturday may have been seen in a more positive light.
Manchester City were the visitors to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday‚ with Wenger′s side battling for a 1–1 scoreline against Manuel Pellegrini′s title challengers.
Chelsea’s shock 1–0 defeat at Crystal Palace keeps Arsenal in the title picture‚ sitting five points off Jose Mourinho′s men – though Wenger would have preferred to pick up a win of his own instead.
Indeed the Frenchman used Chelsea′s example of exactly why his players must be at their absolute best in the final six games of the season to stand a chance of a first league title in a decade.
“Look what happened to Chelsea doesn′t help us because it doesn′t give us more points‚” he said.
"It just shows that we have absolutely to fight until the end of the season because everyone can beat everybody.
“Mathematically we are still in there‚ but it is not in our hands. You cannot say it is just depending on us‚ it′s not realistic maybe to say that.
“We have been consistent since the start of the season.”
“Maybe if you’ve never played at that level‚ it′s difficult to explain the mental insecurity that is in every single team after one or two bad results.
“For example‚ you have Real Madrid who went 30 games unbeaten and lost in the big game (4–3 to Barcelona last weekend) and lost the game after because the disappointment is so difficult to deal with‚ the pressure that is behind the team after big bad results‚ it′s easy for nobody.″

UFC Fight Gerard Mousasi vs Lyoto Machida


A middleweight match–up pitting Gerard Mousasi vs Lyoto Machida on fox sports 1 at Arena Jaragua  in Santa Catarina‚ Brazil on February 15‚ 2014. 

The last time The last time Mousasi fought at the 185 pound limit was September 2008 when he captured the Dream middleweight title with a first round knockout win over Ronaldo Jacare Souza.

When asked why he was dropping back to middleweight after more than five years‚ Mousasi told Paula Sack‚  “I think I will perform much better at middleweight. I feel like I had my strongest performances at middleweight. In this division I will be stronger and bigger and much more conditioned.”

Machida is a fighter that shares Mousasi’s view about the drop to 185‚  having made the move himself in his last fight. Machida′s middleweight debut came at UFC Fight Night 30. In that fight‚  the former UFC light heavyweight champion earned Knockout of the Night honors with a first round stoppage of Mark Munoz. Machida is currently ranked No. 4 in the 185−pound division. 
That ranking and Machida′s 20−4 record seem to be of little consequence to Mousasi who claimed the Machida fight will be an important test‚  but not the toughest test of his career‚  saying  “I′ve had many fights. I‘ve fought dangerous strikers‚  heavier opponents‚ different divisions‚ K−1.”
Mousasi said that feels that there are gaps that exist in Machida′s striking game‚ and in his opinion the fight will hinge on whoever makes the first mistake‚ “I think it’s going to be a fight where whoever makes a mistake is going to pay for it.”

Mousasi has not fought since defeating Latifi in April 2013. He said that he hopes a win over Machida will put him in the mix for a middleweight title shot in his second fight at 185 pounds
