The last time Iwobi featured in an Arsenal game was during the 2-2 draw with Man City back on April 2.
British Boxer, “Speedy” Sam Sheedy ( 17-2 with 4 KOs) has said he expects his opponent, Abolaji Rasheed ( 8-2-1 ) to want to cause an upset when they clash in a Middleweight World Commonwealth title fight on Friday.
John Terry taunted on Twitter after his mother Sue was mistaken for a lookalike prostitute.
A two-minute clip of a woman performing a sex act has gone viral with the hashtag “John Terry’s mum”.
But it was in fact a 32FF adult worker called Lisa in the footage instead — while Sue, 58, was on holiday in Portugal.
John, 36, is said to have called his mum after it spread online, with even some of his fellow football stars sharing the footage.
Friends said Sue “laughed it off”, with one telling The Sun: “She had not seen the video when John rang her to tell her.”
The footage showed a woman performing a sex act on an unknown man before posing for the camera with her tongue out.
Twitter users mocked the Chelsea star, with one commenting: “John Terry ain’t ever gonna be able to face his mum again.”

But last night Lisa, who offers her services for £150 an hour or £50 for a 15-minute quickie, was seething after the footage was leaked.
She said: “It’s pathetic really, very sad and tragic people have to do these things. It’s absolutely nothing to do with me.
“Some guy has put it on Twitter. I found out because a client texted me.
“That’s me in the film. I haven’t done anything wrong. It’s not John Terry’s mum obviously is it? If I can help her I will.”
Lisa, who was entertaining clients at the Holiday Inn in Borehamwood, Herts, added: “I go all over the country. I’m just an ordinary person who does a good job. That’s it.”
A spokesman for Terry, at Stamford Bridge last night with ex-teammate Frank Lampard for the FA Youth Cup Final, did not respond to requests for comment.
Despite speculations surrounding his future as to whether he will retire at the end of the current season Francesco Totti, 40 will forever remain in the hearts of football fans of Italy’s Capital club, AS Roma should he call time on his footballing career.
Totti who has spent his entire football career in one club side, AS Roma often referred to as Re di Roma (The King of Rome), is the top goalscorer amongst currently active players in Serie A, and the second-highest scorer of all time in Italian league history with 250 goals; he also holds the record for the most goals scored in Serie A while playing for a single club.
Totti began to play youth team football at the age of 8 and in 1989 one of Roma’s youth coaches, Gildo Giannini, persuaded his parents to let him join the Roma youth squad and that is where the story starts.
He started as a left winger before moving to a more central role as a second striker. On 31 October 1998, Totti became the official team captain, and the youngest Serie A club captain ever at the age of 22, inheriting the armband from Aldair.
He would go on to win Caps for the National team as well as winning almost every trophy available to the club except the UEFA Champions League. He was also in the Italian team that won the 2006 World Cup against France.
But one thing that stands out about Totti is his continued loyalty. His love for the City in an age where money and trophies comes before the love of club for most players.
In 2003 he admitted he nearly joined Real Madrid. Speaking on his 40th birthday on Tuesday, Totti said he had come “very close” to moving to the Spanish side, but the Roma captain added that he does not regret for a minute turning down the opportunity.
“I was about to go there in 2003, even if it’s not true that I was in Spain,” Totti told Sky Sport Italia. “But then my heart, my friends and the family helped me reflect on it, and fortunately I am still here to tell the tale.
“And then when there were problems with the penultimate contract I signed, I really thought about changing club.”
This weekend Roma faces Lazio and this could be his last ever Rome derby in his 25 years of service to the club he once said about that “I’ve cheated on all the girlfriends I’ve ever had but I would never cheat on Rome”
And Nike will be celebrating the moment with him and have made for the occasion a custom Tiempo Totti X Roma boots.
The boot’s features include
- Upper crafted in soft leather in a gold colourway, in honour of Totti’s achievements for AS Roma and his country
- Personalised with ‘TOTTI’ on the heel counter, the upper features the names of the player’s three children, Cristian, Chanel and Isabel, in his own handwriting
- Signature elongated tongue feature “Aeterno” on the inside, whilst the outside is adorned with the Roman numeral “X” in reference to the player’s number 10 jersey, as well as the city’s ancient history
- Insole reflects colours of AS Roma and ‘TottiXRoma’ appears in gold above the specially created crest
Hopefully, he scores with these boots. Long Live the King of Roma

Katsina United will play their first game behind closed doors today when they host Rivers United in an NPFL rescheduled Week 13 match at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium in Katsina.
Katsina United are being sanctioned after a crowd incident after their home game against Enyimba.
Fans will not be allowed into this game and only those officially accredited will watch the fixture.
All the same, ‘The Chanji Boys’, who are just coming back from a humiliating 3-0 loss at Plateau United in Jos last week, will throw everything into this game to ensure they pick the maximum points if they want to end the first round of the NPFL 2016/2017 season in a better position.
Meanwhile, Rivers United are now a team reborn after heart-warming results both home and abroad. They won their last two league matches at home before booking the group stage ticket in the Confederation Cup by defeating Rayon Sports 2 – 0 in Port Harcout and holding their hosts to a 0-0 in the second leg in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Port Harcourt team will be banking on their recent good run of form to do damage when they face Katsina United on Thursday.
This is the first time both teams will be meeting in a competitive competition.
Katsina United are enjoying a very good home record as they are yet to taste defeat at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium in the NPFL. They have dropped only two points at home thus far this season after drawing with Akwa United and Shooting Stars.
Rivers United have picked three points on the road this season after they struggled away from Port Harcourt in the last campaign.

Katsina United, who are currently occupying 15th position with 22 points from 18 games, cannot afford to lose this game as they are doing everything possible to end the first stanza of the season in a better position.
On the other hand, Rivers United are 16th on the table with 21 points from 16 games with three games in hand.
They will put in everything to avoid defeat in this encounter so as to stay clear of relegation trouble.
Rivers United coach Stanley Eguma said: “We are in Katsina to pick the maximum points. We want to continue to win so as to improve our position on the NPFL table.”

The Bosses in China made it rain like Fat Joe and the spending spree got tongues wagging no doubt, but that money wan’t meant for just any player or position as Taye Taiwo would find out.
Liverpool have revealed their new home kit for next season, which commemorates the club’s 125th anniversary.
The kit includes a new emblem, designed for the landmark, and a retro 1980s design, and uses a darker ‘Shankly red’ than seen in recent seasons to add to the old school vibe.
It will be worn for the first time in public during the game against Middlesbrough at Anfield on May 21, the last matchday of Liverpool’s season.
The emblem on the kit includes embroidery on either side of the liver bird with the dates ‘1892’ and ‘2017’, marking the date of founding and the anniversary year of the club.
One of the more retro aspects of the design is a prominent white v-neck collar, which has been teamed with white cuffs, which hearkens back to the club’s 1984 ‘Rome’ home kit.
The goalkeeper’s shirt, modeled by Simon Mignolet, is a bold green and features the same type of retro styling.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson commented: ‘There is a huge sense of pride that comes with wearing an LFC shirt and it is always an honour, but this kit is special.

Our 125th anniversary is a great moment for us all to celebrate our heritage and this kit really reflects that, especially as it features the anniversary crest – we’ll wear it with pride.’
Richard Wright, general manager of Liverpool’s kit makers New Balance Football, added: ‘This kit is a testament to the periods and events that have made Liverpool the club it is today.
‘This year’s home kit is the perfect blend of heritage and modern technology, creating a look that is visually stunning and performs at the highest level.’
Liverpool – currently third in the Premier League – will be hoping to wear the new kit in the Champions League next season.
