Arsenal hit the town with their WAGs as they celebrate victory over City

-
They were derided by opposing football fans for not winning a trophy in 10 years, then two come along in succession. Yet you wouldn't know it judging by the faces of some Arsenal players.
The Gunners squad were out in London on Sunday night celebrating their 3-0 Community Shield success against Manchester City at the Novikov Bar in Mayfair.
Rather than the customary smiles that you'd normally expect with a trophy win, the FA Cup winners look rather glum-faced about their latest silverware triumph.

New signing Alexis Sanchez was involved in the rather muted celebrations after marking his competitive debut with a 45-minute flurry of pace and skill against City at Wembley.
In tow with the £30million Chile international and his girlfriend Laia Grassi were England duo Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as well as goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and his girlfriend Marina Luczenko.
Mikel Arteta, who was recently appointed as Arsenal's new club captain following the departure of Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona, also attended the celebrations with his wife Lorena Bernal.
Arsene Wenger's side start their Premier League campaign at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

By Chimaobi Jose Nzoromobi  Warri billionaire businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Ayiri Emami, has revealed he advised former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, not to locate the FIFA Forward Project stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State. In a video currently trending on social media, Chief Emami said his advice was based purely on practical and economic reasons that could have affected the timely and cost-effective completion of the project. He noted that the logistical challenges and high cost of transporting construction materials and equipment to Ugborodo made it less suitable for such project given the amount available.
