Something for the Weekend – Carl Froch vs Andre Ward

App of the week – Footiepubs

App of the week – Footiepubs

It’s a familiar scenario. You’re out and about with five minutes until kick-off and need to find a pub nearby that’s showing the football. Except by the time you’ve trekked around the surrounding streets to find the right venue, you’re angry, exhausted and probably past caring. Which is why we like the idea of new app Footiepubs. The app locates the nearest pubs showing the match wherever you are in Greater London (more cities coming soon) and shows you the route to the pub, plus if it’s serving food when you get there. One of those ideas you wish you’d had. Too late. £1.99, App store

With Fabregas gone, Nasri with one foot out of the door and the team that’s left surrendering at home to Liverpool at the weekend, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s all bad news for Arsenal fans. But with every cloud comes a silver lining – this one in the shape of Wenger’s new coat. You may remember Wenger’s bizarre coat/duvet from last year that made him look like an overgrown toddler. On Saturday however he sported this lightweight rain coat that appears to be from Nike’s NSW range. It’s a definite improvement and suggests maybe he does have the ability to learn from his mistakes, move with the times and go shopping for improvements when needed.
