Its true that in recent games he did not have that sharpness, but

Remember that whole Arizona State signal-stealing controversy a year ago? Washington State coach Mike Leach certainly does.For about three weeks last season, ASU coach Todd Graham came under fire amid accusations of stealing signs. Its a legal practice, and several Pac-12 coaches actually came to Grahams defense, either praising the practice or saying its on each coach to protect his signals.Leach, however, said the Pac-12 should launch an investigation. A year later, its still a legal practice, and there was no investigation. But as Leachs Cougars (4-2, 3-0) prepare to travel to Arizona State (5-2, 2-2) on Saturday, Leach continues to go after the ASU coaching staff.I think they still steal signs, and well have to keep an eye on that, Leach said during his Monday meeting with the media. That is a very unsavory practice they have, so well have to do what we can to defend against it.When the accusations were flung last season -- remember Oregon protecting signals with giant white sheets? -- Graham defended the practice, saying: Do we steal signals? Yeah, we do. Do people steal our signals? Yeah, they do. Its our responsibility to make sure our signals are safe.Last years controversy was prompted when Utah players first made the accusations against Arizona State, followed by similar intimations from Oregon coaches. Its worth noting this is the first time this season that ASU has been accused of stealing signs.Leach took it to a new level on Monday, though, saying he has heard rumors of microphones and cameras.They have a whole command center, he said.For what its worth, Leach & Co. got the better of the Sun Devils last season, winning 38-24. And he even did a bit of trolling after the game. Asked what the difference was in the second half, when the Cougars outscored the Sun Devils 28-10, Leach said: The first half we stole a bunch of their signals and that helped us a bunch in the second half.Leach did not stop at taking issue with Arizona State. He also took a shot at UCLA and its apparent shouting over Washington State quarterback Luke Falks calls at the line during the Cougars 27-21 win Saturday night.They yelled our cadence the whole game, but how I addressed it will remain between me and who I addressed it with, Leach said, as quoted on Twitter by 710 ESPN Seattle.WSU wide receiver Gabe Marks was also sharply critical of UCLA for warming up on the Cougars side of the Martin Stadium field before Saturdays game.They kind of come off as bad guys when they do things like that, Marks said. I dont know if they do that to everybody, but its just kind of, like, its kind of douchey. Is that OK to say? Dont cut that.Marks said the Cougars players felt disrespected by the Bruins apparent attempt to throw them off their game by warming up on WSUs side of the field for the second straight season.It makes you look like youre trying to be tough because everyone thinks because you live in Westwood and you wear baby blue that youre not tough, he said. It makes you look less tough because youre trying too hard. Its just weird. You dont have to do that. Miles Wood Devils Jersey . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers.

Custom New Jersey Devils Jerseys . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards.

City hopes dented by draw Manchester Citys Champions League chances are in doubt after a 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Sergio Aguero gave Manuel Pellegrinis men a perfect start when he scored his eighth goal in six Premier League games after eight minutes, but Olivier Giroud headed Arsenals equaliser from a corner just two minutes later.Kevin de Bruyne put City back in front with a low drive shortly after half-time, but Alexis Sanchez pulled Arsenal level again midway through the second half as the Gunners claimed a valuable point. From Citys Champions League chances to Girouds improved performance for Arsenal, here are five talking points from the game…Manchester City at risk It was Manuel Pellegrinis final home game in charge of Manchester City Manchester Citys top-four hopes are out of their hands, and they are in real danger of starting Pep Guardiolas reign without Champions League football. Manchester Uniteds 1-0 win over Norwich on Saturday left City needing three points against Arsenal, but they could now drop to fifth if Louis van Gaals side win their game in hand against West Ham on Tuesday.The home supporters at the Etihad showed their disappointment by leaving in their droves long before Pellegrinis leaving speech, and City only have themselves to blame for their current predicament. Its not just about today, its about results before today, said Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness. City were good today but if youre a City supporter watching that first half youre saying to yourself: Why are we not like that every week? City have the best players but week after week this season theyve gone out and not matched the opposition for effort. Thats why they are where they are.Welbeck injury hands Wilshere chance Jack Wilshere made only his second appearance of the season for Arsenal Arsenals Danny Welbeck looked disconsolate as he trudged down the tunnel after hurting his knee in the first half. The 25-year-old faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of the injury ahead of Euro 2016, but his departure did at least open the door to his England team-mate Jack Wilshere.Following a brief cameo against Sunderland last month, this was only Wilsheres second appearance of the season after his return from injury. Recent reports have suggested his starring displays in Englands qualifying campaign will be enough to earn him a place in Roy Hodgsons 23-man squad for the Euros regardless of club form, but this was still an important step towards full fitness. Arsene Wenger admits he is worried about Danny Welbecks chances of making Euro 2016 Wilshere produced a typically tenacious performance as he joined Mohamed Elneny and Aaron Ramsey in central midfield. There were occasional loose touches as he adjusted to the intensity of the encounter, but overall he acquitted himself well after such a long spell on the sidelines.The midfielder showed a willingness to run with the ball, contributed defensively with tackles and interceptions, and also provided sound distribution,, with 25 of his 29 passes finding a team-mate - giving him the highest success rate of any Arsenal player.ddddddddddddechs weakness? Petr Cech was beaten by Kevin de Bruynes long-range effort Petr Cech will not enjoy watching replays of Manchester Citys goals as he was beaten twice at his near post. The 33-year-old was not helped by the static defending in front of him, but De Bruynes strike exposed what appears to be a growing weakness from long-range shots.Only Stoke have conceded more goals from outside the box than Arsenal in the Premier League this season, and all 11 of them have come on Cechs watch. The first came from West Hams Mauro Zarate on the opening day of the campaign, and De Bruynes effort was reminiscent of Yannick Bolasies equaliser for Crystal Palace three weeks ago.It could have been a costly lapse for Arsenal, and Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry was less than impressed. The ball goes through the legs of Gabriel but I think Petr Cech needs to do way better than he did, he said.Giroud ends his drought Giroud ended a run of 881 minutes without a Premier League goal While Cech endured an afternoon to forget in goal, there was a considerably improved display from the much-maligned Giroud at the other end of the pitch. The Frenchman ended a dismal run of 16 Premier League games without scoring when he rose to head home Elnenys corner, and his assist for Sanchezs strike was outstanding.The striker pinned Eliaquim Mangala as he received Sanchezs pass with his back to goal on the edge of the City box, and his deft flick allowed the onrushing Chilean to dispatch a clinical first-time finish beyond Joe Hart. Head boy Olivier Giroud has scored more headers (18) than any other Premier League player since his Arsenal debut in 2012. He had a great game today, his best for a while now, said Arsene Wenger in his post-match interview with Sky Sports. He was sharp, focused, and today we have seen the real Olivier Giroud. Its true that in recent games he did not have that sharpness, but goalscorers go through ups and downs and you never know when a striker will score or not.Citys defensive issues laid bare again Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho was disappointed not to beat Arsenal From a Manchester City perspective, Arsenals first goal was a defensive horror show. First, Gael Clichys ill-judged pass wrong-footed Hart and clipped his own post as it went out, then Mangalas woeful marking left Giroud to rise unchallenged and head home from the resulting corner.Mangala allowed Giroud to get the better of him again for Arsenals second goal, and Citys struggles at the back were typical of a campaign in which they have now conceded more goals (40) than in any of the last five seasons.Citys defensive issues were further exasperated by the news that captain Vincent Kompany could be facing four months out after he was forced off in their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, and a major defensive overhaul is likely to be Guardiolas first priority when he takes over in the summer.
