LONDON -- Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke signaled a desire to convince Arsene Wenger to stay on as manager by telling The Associated Press on Monday that the club remains very high on the Frenchman and he would be very hard to replace.Wenger this month celebrated 20 years in charge of Arsenal and has offered no indication whether he wants to sign a new deal, with his current contract running to the end of the seasonThe 67-year-old Frenchman became the Premier Leagues longest serving manager when Alex Ferguson retired from Manchester United in 2013. United is now on its third manager in three years and has not competed for the Premier League title since Fergusons departure.In a rare interview about Arsenal, Kroenke noted the tricky post-Ferguson succession at United while discussing the challenge of eventually replacing Wenger.You see it (at United), Kroenke told the AP after Arsenals annual general meeting. Its very hard. Hes a great manager.Wenger signed his last three-year contract extension in 2014.We will sit down and discuss the future at the appropriate time, Arsenal chairman Chips Keswick told shareholders at a meeting attended by Wenger.Although Wenger has won the Premier League three times, the last success came in 2004 -- a drought which frustrates fans.Hes been a wonderful influence on the club, Kroenke said. We are all very high on Arsene. We are (joint) top of the table right now.Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are only separated on goal difference at the summit. Despite Wenger only winning the FA Cup twice since the 2004-05 season, Arsenal is in the lucrative Champions League for the 19th successive year thanks to its runner-up finish last season. Wenger is yet to win European footballs top prize.I know a number of (sports team) owners that are very successful that say the same thing -- the hardest thing to do is be consistently competitive at the top of the league, said Kroenke, who also owns the NFLs Los Angeles Rams. Arsene has always done that and Arsenal has always been in that position. We have always been competitive.We may not always win the things we want to win. We are very focused on winning for sure the league. Arsenes been consistently at the top and I will tell you -- its very, very hard to do if you look around sports.Earlier, Wenger did not address his future in what could be his final speech to shareholders if he doesnt extend his Arsenal contract.I would like to apologize for every minute I made you suffer in these 20 years, Wenger quipped. But you dont look too bad for people who have suffered for 20 years.I am sorry for the boy who was born 20 years ago and has only known one manager. I would like to reassure him that when he is 40 he will know a few more.Wenger assured shareholders that Arsenal is in a much more competitive position to fight for the championship than five or six years ago.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Adidas Falcon γυναικεια .

Last week, we looked at the 10 most accurate passers from the 2015 NFL season using a metric (C%+) that adjusts for where the ball is thrown. Most of the usual suspects made the list, but what about the quarterbacks at the bottom?The bottom three were bad enough that none of these players figure to be a factor in 2016. Nick Foles (minus-6.6 percent) was released and went to Kansas City. Johnny Manziel (minus-4.9 percent) is currently not in the league. Ryan Mallett (minus-4.9 percent) is a backup in Baltimore.Peyton Manning (minus-1.1 percent), who also ranked among the worst, showed it was time to retire after the first below-average season of his career.But that still leaves six quarterbacks in the bottom 10 who figure to be a factor this year. The following is a look at those six quarterbacks, ranked by ascending C%+ from the 2015 regular season.First, here is a refresher on how C%+ is calculated. The core idea is passing plus-minus, which estimates how many passes a quarterback completed compared to what an average quarterback would have completed, given the location of those passes. It does not consider passes listed as thrown away, tipped at line or quarterback hit in motion. Player performance is compared to a historical baseline of how often a pass is completed based on the pass distance, thee yards needed for a first down, and whether it is on the left, middle or right side of the field.ddddddddddddBecause we care only about whether or not the pass was completed with this stat, dropped passes can be accounted for favorably for the quarterback. Once we have the drop-adjusted plus-minus total, it can be divided by the number of passes to get an adjusted rate we denote as C%+.A quarterbacks C%+ is how many percentage points better or worse than average he was at completing passes.1. Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ersC%+: minus-4.4 percentKaepernick started off his career in 2012 with a great C%+ (7.3 percent) in a vertical offense, but he has declined every year since. Always more of a thrower than a precision passer, last season was especially bad as Kaepernick struggled to locate receivers, let alone deliver accurate passes. The most troubling fact was that his average pass distance dropped to 7.7 yards beyond the line of scrimmage after being in the 9.5-9.8 range in the previous three seasons. So even though his passes were shorter, he was worse at completing them. Now you can start to see why he may be benched (again) for Blaine Gabbert in San Francisco. ' ' '
