Juan Mata gives revealing insight into what it is like to work with Unai Emery - Duration: 4:02.Juan Mata has given a revealing insight into the 'intense' way that Unai Emery works and what Arsenal's head coach demands from his players
Mata - who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks - played under Emery when the Spaniard was in charge at Valencia
And in an extract from Emery's biography which has been published by the Telegraph, the Manchester United star describes just what it is like as a player to work under the 46-year-old
"I think what's special about Unai is the way he communicates," said Emery. "In his talks, he used to write three, four or five things on the board: those were the points he was going to bring up
Sometimes it was five phrases or metaphors he was going to explain. I've never seen that with my other managers
"They usually revolved around phrases about positivity, camaraderie, the values he wanted to create in his team
He communicated by means of the points he had written down. "His talks could go on and on because he didn't notice the time, but what he said was always intense, and he would ask you questions
It became a kind of seminar." Emery is known as a coach who is hugely demanding on the training pitch and he has certainly changed things drastically at Arsenal since his arrival at the summer
The training regime has completely changed at London Colney, with several members of the squad having admitted they have never been worked so hard
And the changes introduced at Colney certainly seem to be having an effect, with Arsenal currently in the midst of a 12-game unbeaten run, with 11 of those matches ending in victories
Recalling one particular aspect of what it was like on the training pitch with Emery, Mata recalled: "Unai is the manager who works hardest at set-pieces
And he would change tactics depending on who we were facing. He was constantly coming up with new ideas
"We were often surprised, because it could seem very complicated and you had to concentrate a lot, apart from anything else trying to remember what the plan was for different games, because it changed all the time! "I remember above all a free-kick we used to do in the middle of our opponents' half
Instead of sending the ball up the middle of the pitch where everyone was crowding in, we would put two players on each side and two in the centre
"At the sides, one player screened the other, who darted forward towards the far post
The player taking the free-kick would raise an arm to show which side the ball would go
I don't know if Unai still does it, but if it's the right arm, then it's going to the right-hand side!" Keep up to date with the latest news, features and exclusives from football

CNN Is Trying To Ban This Fox News Host Over What Was Said About The Caravan - Duration: 3:49.CNN is going to war with Fox News over the migrant caravan.
The left-wing activists at the network has targeted another Fox News Channel host for
destruction.
And now they are trying to get him banned for what was said on his program about George
Soros and the caravan.
CNN Attacks Lou Dobbs Donald Trump is a big fan of Fox Business
Channel host Lou Dobbs.
Therefore, CNN and other liberals want to destroy him.
CNN recently seized on tweets made by Dobbs in the wake of a deranged Florida man sending
suspicious packages to CNN and other Democrats.
Dobbs tweeted:
FAKE NEWS – FAKE BOMBS WHO COULD POSSIBLY BENEFIT BY SO MUCH FAKERY?
CNN then whined when Dobbs tweeted:
FAKE NEWS HAD JUST SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED THE NARRATIVE FROM THE ONSLAUGHT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
AND BROKEN BORDER SECURITY TO 'SUSPICIOUS PACKAGES.'
Dobbs deleted both tweets after liberal reporters complained.
CNN Ratchets Up Pressure Campaign Against Dobbs
But that was just the beginning of CNN's attempts to ban Dobbs.
Chris Farrell – who is a board member of Judicial Watch – appeared on Dobbs' program
to discuss the migrant caravan.
He talked about how Vice President Pence revealed that leftist groups in Venezuela funded and
organized the caravan.
Farrell said, "This is a criminal involvement on the part of these leftist groups.
It's highly organized very sophisticated operation.
I have that from the highest levels of the Guatemalan government," he began.
Farrell continued, "They are investigating those groups criminally and I strongly urge
President Trump and Attorney General Sessions to do the same here.
Lot of these folks also have affiliates who are getting money from the Soros occupied
State Department and that is of great concern.
You want to start cutting money.
Cut money there."
Liberals in the media seized on the "Soros occupied State Department" remarks to claim
Dobbs had inflamed anti-Semitism.
Gary Schreier – Fox's senior vice president for programming – released a statement condemning
Farrell's remarks.
"We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight," Schreier's statement
read.
"This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings."
CNN Tries To Ban Lou Dobbs CNN hates Fox News.
The left-wing network believes liberal outlets should be the only source of information Americans
are allowed to consume.
They have a whole team of media reporters who do nothing but echo Media Matters talking
points and write articles attacking Fox hosts.
CNN has already gone after Sean Hannity's advertisers in an attempt to kick him off
the air.
They also smeared Laura Ingraham as a racist in a move many conservatives saw as an attempt
to censor her.
Now they are targeting Dobbs.
CNN reported that they contacted the Speaker's Bureau that books Dobbs' public speeches
to see if he fit with the company values.
Their goal was to get them to drop Dobbs and deny him a source of income.
When networks like CNN contact advertisers or the Speaker's Bureau to see if a controversy
surrounding a conservative is in-line with their values, it's a pressure tactic.
They hope that by alerting a corporate entity to a controversy, they will make it go away
by dropping the conservative.
CNN believes that any viewpoint that deviates from liberal orthodoxy is hate speech and
should cost individuals the ability to feed their family or themselves.

What If The Crooked Man Was Real? - Duration: 6:07.The crocked man is a nasty British spook.
He is a tall man, dressed like a gentleman, wielding an umbrella that he likes to hook
people with.
The unnerving figure crops up in the Conjuring movies, but if we delve even deeper, he is
also peppered in folklore.
What does this mean?
Could the stories of the Crooked Man have any truth, and if so, what then?
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions – the channel that loves providing
answers to everything and anything from science, history, philosophy, pop culture and fictions…why?
Because curious minds make interesting people!
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are asking WHAT
IF The Crooked Man Was Real?
Yikes Before we get into this video, why don't
you let me know which fictional scares you the most – I personally can't handle the
Babadook…unless he's at Pride.
Let me know who are what you find the scariest in the comments section down below.
Okay – The Crooked Man.
The character in question here comes from The Conjuring movie franchise and is seen
in The Conjuring 2 as a formation from the demon Valak.
The Crooked man is mainly taken from English folklore and nursery rhymes, used to enhance
the movie's British setting.
The Crooked man is a tall and menacing figure inhabited by a shape shifting demon – he
carries a umbrella which seems all the better for hooking you with and he bares some strong
similarities with Slenderman.
So, what if he was real?
Well…maybe he is?
Some news for you, but the Conjuring 2 IS based on a true story!
The movie brings to the screen the real-life case of Ed and Lorraine Warren who investigated
a house in Enfield, England, after it was reported that a Poltergiest was haunting the
unassuming terrace house.
While the movie has a shred of truth at its core, unfortunately…or…well… fortunately,
it doesn't extend to the Crooked Man, who comes from an old English nursery rhyme.
It is said that he was placed in the movie to accentuate the British setting.
Although good news for Crooked Man lovers – he IS getting his own spin off movie,
like the Nun!
What about the Nursery rhyme he is from?
Is there any truth to that?
Let's have a listen.
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.He bought a crooked cat, which caught
a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
A few places lay claim to the origin of the rhyme – the sleepy and pretty village of
Lavenham in Suffolk – also the basis for Godrick's Hollow in Harry Potter.
Here the houses are old and pretty wonky!
Also laying claim to the rhyme – some say that the Crooked man himself was the Scottish
General Alexander Leslie, who secured political Freedom for the Scots in the 17th Century.
None the less, it wasn't he that was crooked – but the tempestuous relationship between
England and Scotland!
Okay, but …..like in the Conjuring, what would happen if this version of the Crooked
Man was real?
Well, this would mean that the demon Valak, the Marquis of snakes, the defiler and the
profane is real, which has some wider implications about the existence of demons as a whole.
Valak is known as the great president of hell in mythology – which I guess basically makes
him the devil, or something similar in terms of the embodiment of evil.
Ed Warren manages to banish Valak back to hell, so perhaps we could get rid if the crooked
man by means of a demonologist or an exorcism of sorts.
The problem is with Valak and the Crooked man, seeing as they're one of the same,
is that they're shape shifters so we would never necessarily be able to yield the rewards
of a wanted poster – the Crooked Man could be hiding as anything – for example a dog,
like in the movies.
We would need the expert opinions of a demonologist to even be able to seek the demon!
Annoyingly, the Demon can give people terrible sick visions, which…frankly we could all
live without.
We wouldn't know what is real and what isn't – which would be detrimental to our mental
health – basically we would all go a bit crazy if surrounded by The Crooked Man!
How would we even begin to fight the demon if we had to?
Say it was going to take a while for a demonologist to show up and we need to defend ourselves.
I am going with umbrella duel.
Can you even call yourself a successful Brit if you don't engage in a good brolly battle?
I note that the crooked man has little glasses?
Are they for show or could we knock those off his creepy smiley face?
I'd hope so!
If all else failed, I would recommend moving somewhere decidedly un rainy, like the south
of California… or the desert!
What business foes a suit wearing, umbrella carrying spook have in the dessert!
NONE.
Whereas perhaps wet places like good old London, or say, seattle – they may be the perfect
climate for the crooked man.
So, the Crooked Man may not be real, but he does share a lot of similarities with similar
legends.
The Japanese tale of Noppera Bo, the German Der GROSman and the English character of Long
Lamkin.
Oh, and once again…the popular urban legend of slenderman.
If all of these cultures can dream up a tall thing creep…do you think that they could
be different incantations of the same thing?
Or are their similarities a co-incidence.
It must say something about the human psyche that so many of us have invented a reason
to be scared of a tall, thin and silent man.
Do you think that maybe, like the Loch Ness Monster or the Sasquatch, there could be a
tall, thin, suit clad creep waiting to get us?
IF so…what would YOU DO….
Why don't you let me know in the comments section down below?
For now we will have to wait for the Crooked Man Movie to find out more about this demon!

Why the John Lewis Christmas Advert is sure to divide the nation - Daily News - Duration: 3:33.It's now a festive fixture which can divide a family quicker than cheap crackers around the table or who's watching what on TV once the turkey sandwiches are passed around
The John Lewis advert is now Christmas tradition - and after some hits and misses over the years we're all waiting patiently to see what reaction the 2018 offering brings
While programme-interrupting annoyances are usually a turn off, it is now easily the most anticipated advert of the year
The Coca-Cola truck can go into reverse, it's has had it's day. We've had tear-jerkers, heartstring-pullers and animal antics which won't ever be forgotten, and that's before we delve into the musical masterpieces which become the soundtrack to the build-up to the big day
From Buster the Boxer, the Man on the Moon to the Bear and the Hare we've all got our favourites
So the big question is what has the department store giant got planned for us this Christmas? We take a look as the countdown to its premiere gets ever closer
When is it released? Nobody knows for sure BUT we are due to get our first look at it in the second week of November, according to reports
We've done our research and the 2017 and 2016 ads were out on November 10, while the 2015 and 2014 ones were four days earlier
Christmas will officially be starting in a week or so, folks. What is it about? As you would expect, the 12th John Lewis Christmas ad is all hush hush
Officially anyway. But here's what we're told. The Mail on Sunday suggest this year's effort will be all about Sir Elton John - his life story told by, well, him
He's being paid quite well, too. It's said £5 million of the £10 million budget is going in Elt's already deep back pocket
His 1970 hit 'Your Song' is the soundtrack. What was the 2017 advert? You can't really go wrong with cute kids at Christmas but viewers were divided by Moz The Monster
The cute friendship between schoolboy Joe and the shy creature under his bed was loved by some - and trashed online by others
Opinions ranged from adorable to awful but on the whole the general view was another job well done, even if it didn't hit the heights of years gone by

Gary Barlow jokes that his X Factor dressing room was bugged when he was a judge - Daily News - Duration: 5:31.has revealed that when he was a judge on The X Factor, he was fed lines by producers to create drama on the show - and he questioned if his dressing room was bugged at one point
Gary, 47, appeared on the ITV show as a judge from 2011 until 2013, and he details his time on the reality talent series in his new autobiography, A Better Me
Five years later, the majority of the day to day producers from then no longer work on the show
But back in the day, the Take That legend revealed that he questioned whether joining the Saturday night staple would be a good idea - and he didn't get a good response from his contacts in the industry when he asked them their opinions
He said in the book: "I've got a very healthy address book of TV professionals and I set about ringing every single one of them
"The X Factor . What's it all about?" "To the last, they all said the same thing: 'The only thing anyone cares about in that building is The X Factor
They won't mind throwing you under the bus, using you to get a headline, feeding you a line that will end your career, as long as The X Factor gets a mention
' "'You don't go in there alone, you need back up." From this advice, Gary then went to James Corden to ask him if there was anyone who he might be able to bring on as a team member to help him through what he calls the "manipulative nonsense" of Simon Cowell 's hit show
Gary said he told James: "I need someone watching my back who understands telly and will spot all their little producer games they play
Someone with a TV head to go 'Listen. The ratings are down this week so they're going to be looking to create a stir'
Someone to warn me of these things before they happen." James suggested his producer, Ben Winston, who then came on board
Gary revealed that the producers then try to stoke drama by suggesting what judges should say in the green room before the live shows
He said: "About half an hour before the show goes live, the producers would come in and and they'd go, 'Oh my God
That Misha. She's a bully. Can't believe it. She is such a bully. In fact, you know what? You should say it
You should say it on air. She's bullied everyone all week." "They leave the room
Ben: Do not say that. "Later Misha comes on.Tulisa: I think you're a bully. Louis: 'I think you're a bully
" He also questioned how all of his X Factor's team's conversations were made public - even speculating that his green room may have been tapped: "We developed a bad case of showbiz paranoia
Was the dressing room bugged? They always seemed to know what was being talked about behind closed doors, and eaten, too
What ever happened in that building always found its way to the press." Gary eventually left The X Factor after three series in 2013, and said at the time of his departure: "I've had an amazing time on X Factor these past three years
A show like this needs to stay fresh and exciting, so it's a great opportunity for someone to come in and take the show past its incredible ten year anniversary
"Next year is a very busy year for me and X Factor is a full time job so it felt like the right time to hand over the baton
" An X Factor spokesperson added: "As Gary said on the show tonight we can confirm that this will be his last series as a judge on The X Factor as next year he will be focusing on his own music
"We'd like to thank him for an amazing contribution over the last three years." He was later replaced by Simon Cowell, and Gary went on to produce his own talent show for the BBC in 2017 called Let It Shine

US missionary killed in Cameroon in what family says was 'targeted' attack - Duration: 6:22.An American missionary was shot and killed in Cameroon Tuesday, his brother confirmed to ABC News, and his family says they believe he was targeted amid growing violence in the West African country
Charles Wesco, his wife Stephanie, and their eight children had moved to Bamenda, a major city in Cameroon's northwest province, less than two weeks ago
After years of missions to Africa, the Wesco family had decided to permanently move to the country from Indiana after a visit there in 2015
"Their objective was to share the love of Christ with people in a very poor and strife-ridden country," his brother Timothy Wesco told ABC News
"That was their passion, and that was their life -- to share Jesus Christ." But Tuesday morning, while driving into town to go shopping, Charles was shot
He was taken to one of the local hospitals where he was treated by Doctors Without Borders, Timothy said, but was declared dead shortly after arriving
"It appears that he was targeted," Timothy said, adding later it was "quite probable he was targeted because he was a white, English-speaking American
" Cameroon has seen violence flare in recent months as English-speaking separatists have attacked schools in a revolt against the French-speaking government's education system and perceived oppression of English speakers
A former French colony, Cameroon is largely French-speaking, except for the two provinces Northwest and Southwest where English is the major language
The separatist movement has been met with a severe crackdown by government forces, with the violence bringing the country to the brink of "an emerging civil war," according to Richard Moncrieff, the Central Africa project director at the International Crisis Group
At least 400 civilians have been killed in the last year since separatists declared independence in October 2017, reported ICG
Local Cameroonian media reported that Wesco was shot by government forces, but his brother could not confirm that
The State Department told ABC News that a U.S. citizen died in Bamenda and that it is providing full consular services to the family, but declined to provide any other details
Chief among the family's needs right now is safety. "We're very concerned about the safety of the family," Timothy Wesco said
While Stephanie and the eight children are still in the country right now, the family hopes to get them out soon, he added
The family was aware of the risks in Cameroon, with Charles and Stephanie writing in a September-October newsletter about a curfew where "English section civilians are not allowed to safely leave their homes or operate their businesses without risking loss or death
" "Keep praying earnestly for a return of peace to the English and French sections of Cameroon!" they added, noting their humility and excitement for their religious mission
If Cameroonian security forces are found to be responsible for Charles's killing, it would not be the first time they have been accused of crimes
In July, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said the U.S. was "gravely concerned" about a video that appeared to show military forces executing two women and two children
Cameroon's Ministry of Information dismissed the video as "fake news." The U.S. has taken little action to punish the government of President Paul Biya for its human rights abuses, including allegations of killing protesters, torturing detainees, and arresting journalists
Earlier this month, Biya was reelected to another seven-year term after nearly 36 years in office in elections that opposition figures denounced
The State Department said there were "a number of irregularities" that "may not have affected the outcome but created an impression that the election was not credible or genuinely free and fair
" But it called on the parties to peacefully resolve any disputes, instead of pushing for any recount
