Great Arsenal Squad

Montpellier president Louis Nicollin claims Arsenal have completed the signing of France forward Olivier Giroud.

Giroud, part of Laurent Blanc's Euro 2012 squad which was knocked out by Spain in the quarter-finals on Saturday, is thought to command a transfer fee in the region of £13million.
The 25-year-old scored 25 goals for his club last season to help Montpellier win the Ligue 1 title, igniting the interest of several top clubs.
Last week, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger revealed a deal was "90%" complete as he looked to add the promising Frenchman to his squad, which has already been bolstered by the arrival of Germany marksman Lukas Podolski.
Speaking to French newspaper Midi Libre, Montpellier president Nicollin confirmed the transfer had now been completed after Arsenal met the player's release clause.
Nicollin said: "I wish him well."
Arsenal have not yet made any official comment, but Press Association Sport understands an announcement by the Barclays Premier League club is imminent.
Once the transfer for Giroud is formally complete, Arsenal could then look to offload some of their fringe players, including Denmark striker Nicklas Bendtner and Morocco international Marouane Chamakh as well as Mexico forward Carlos Vela and Brazilian midfielder Denilson.
However, Nicollin maintained a move to take Chamakh in the opposite direction back to France was not part of the Giroud deal.
Wenger, who is at the European Championship working as a media pundit, is convinced Giroud can be a big hit at Arsenal.
"I think he has exceptional potential and will integrate very well in our collective and our way of playing," he said last week.
"He is a real team player and knows how to combine with other players and I'm sure he will do well with us."

Pastor Chris Okotie Divorces 2nd Wife Stephanie

It was a shock for the congregation of pop star turned cleric, Pastor Kris Okotie when he announced the break-up in his marriage of four years to his second wife, Stephanie yesterday.
While Okotie is divorcing for the second time, Stephanie has now been married three times and has three children from her first two marriages.The break-up also puts an end to dream twins that Okotie expected her to deliver someday.
The news, which enveloped the Household of God Church, Oregun, Lagos stunned members, as they stood still and speechless for seconds after he dropped the bombshell shortly before the close of Sunday service.
The Sunday service which coincided with the June’s brethren’s’ birthday celebration had recorded soul lifting songs and dances interspersed with prayers, ministration and cutting of the cake. Okotie, in a sparkling white short-sleeve suit suddenly drew the attention of the churchwith the unexpected announcement.

“Stephanie and I are no longer married. We have separated. You can see she’s not in church today. It’s due to irreconcilable differences and you should please respect our wishes at this time because there is no going back.”

Mancini Insist that Balotelli was better than Rooney

Roberto Mancini believes Italy's Mario Balotelli eclipsed Wayne Rooney during Sunday's Euro 2012 quarter-final with England.
Rooney was a peripheral figure as Roy Hodgson's side struggled to contain Italy in Kiev, and Cesare Prandelli's outfit eventually prevailed on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Mancini has hit back at those who have questioned Balotelli's part in the victory after missing a number of gilt-edged chances, saying that his City marksman outperformed Rooney.
"I think perhaps many are underestimating what (Balotelli) did," Mancini told the Corriere dello Sport. "He was always at the heart of the game, had five or six chances, and was a bit unlucky.
"But we want to compare him with Rooney, who we only noticed when it came to penalties. 'Super Mario' did much better, and he's a great striker we must support all the way."
The Premier League-winning manager went on to praise the play of Prandelli's side, who controlled much of the last-eight fixture on their way to a semi-final meeting with Germany.
"The Azzurri dominated almost the entire match, by far and away, as if they came down from another planet," he said. "In the second half and in extra time, they crushed England.
"They took my breath away as I waited for the killer goal. That it did not come was only down to tiny details. Beyond Balotelli I saw a great Italy.
"Prandelli also made changes very well while Hodgson thought only to defend himself and had no effect. When (Antonio) Nocerino and (Alessandro) Diamanti came on, they gave a great boost."

Italy will now compete with Germany for a place in Sunday's final.

Harry Styles Had An Affair With Married Woman?

We know Harry Styles is definitely a ladies man...but having an affair with a married lady?! We think he might be taking it a little too far!

British paper The Mirror is reporting that Styles, who was 17 at the time, lured 32-year-old DJ Lucy Horobin after meeting her for a radio interview. Apparently they flirted big time during the interview, and then took it to another level later that day.

The affair was said to have last just a few weeks but almost wrecked DJ Horobin's marriage. A source close to 1D said, "Harry's got a record for pulling some of the most beautiful women in showbiz and couldn't resist Lucy's beautiful looks. He found her really witty and very sexy. Lucy was going through a rocky patch with her husband."

The source then added, "He charmed his way into her life and brought a little bit of excitement with him. Lucy was confused about her feelings for her husband."

Do you guys think Harry would have seduced a married woman? Is that his 'Style?
