Midfielder received a nine-game ban in 1988 for punching Glenn Cockerill during home game against Southampton
By Steven Pye for That 1980s Sports Blog
One moment of madness. A split second that would play a huge part in the career of a footballer on the verge of international recognition. On an afternoon of frustration for Arsenal’s players and supporters, one man could take no more. Paul Davis was about to inflict pain on both an opponent and his own future.
In September 1988, Arsenal found themselves trailing 2-0 at Highbury against Chris Nicholl’s Southampton. George Graham’s team looked condemned to another home defeat, having lost two weeks before to Aston Villa. With 79 minutes played there was an air of desperation as the supposed title contenders looked for a way back into the match.

Gary O’Neil finds himself in a tight spot, Jadon Sancho helps lead Chelsea revival and Leicester need to get on front foot
Liverpool have not lost at Selhurst Park since November 2014, when Dwight Gayle opened the scoring in a 3-1 win for a side then managed by Neil Warnock. But their title challenge under Jürgen Klopp wavered last season after losing at Anfield in April to a goal from Eberechi Eze, so Arne Slot will be wary of facing a Crystal Palace team that have yet to record a victory in the Premier League this season. Fresh from his brilliant goal against Bologna in the Champions League, Mohamed Salah will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a new-look Palace defence that has not looked convincing this season despite a 0-0 draw against Manchester United in their last home match. The Egyptian scored his 200th Liverpool goal against them in December to take his tally to eight in just 11 appearances, not to mention seven assists. Ed Aarons

- ‘There is no rest,’ Merino says after making debut
Mikel Merino says he is seeing football in a different way after his first month or so under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. The Spain midfielder made a belated debut in Tuesday’s 2-0 Champions League home win over Paris Saint-Germain, having recovered from the shoulder blade fracture sustained in his first training session.
It has been a frustrating time for Merino, who signed from Real Sociedad for £31.6m at the end of August, and there was delight and relief for him when he came on as a 64th-minute substitute, taking his place alongside Declan Rice. His initial impression of his new club, specifically the intensity and meticulousness of the training, echoes how Rice felt after he joined from West Ham in the summer of last year.

Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal’s growing maturity as they outclassed his former team Paris Saint-Germain with a 2-0 win in the Champions League. Arteta said: 'I think we showed a lot of maturity in the way we played and we put our stamp in the way we want to behave in Europe against top teams, and I really like that.' The PSG manager, Luis Enrique, took the blame for the defeat, insisting that his players performed 'far from the minimum standards needed' but ultimately conceded that PSG's 'defeat was totally deserved and Arsenal deserved the win without a doubt'.

The summer transfer action is beginning to come hard and fast for Arsenal as they now have begun to receive many offers for the want away Dutch striker Robin Van Persie who is out of contract with the gunner at the end of next season. The clubs star player has made it clear he will not be signing a new contract with the gunners and this has prompted all of Europe’s top clubs to begin a bidding war for the phenomenal striker.
Another player who could be set to leave the Emirates stadium is Carlos Vela who is now in the middle of discussions for a transfer to the Spanish side Real Sociedad who are thought to be lining up a £5.000.000 deal for the Mexican international. Vela has been on the sidelines for some time now and it is clear that his future lies elsewhere and away from London.
The capture of Lucas Podolski from Cologne a few weeks back was meant to signal the start of a new era at Arsenal as the club have been trophy less for the past five years. The German international was seen as the perfect partner for Robin Van Persie but with the Dutch striker certainly on his way out of the Emirates it is now more than likely that Podolski will be leading the line along with another new signing up from in the form of up and coming superstar Olivier Giroud.
Another player who could be leaving the London club this summer is Marouane Chamakh who has found himself out of the picture at Arsenal for the past twelve month and has only started a handful of games during this time. The Morroccan international is wanted by Fiorentina and Dutch champions Ajax and the striker is keen on a move to either of these sides in search of first team football.
Arsenal are also said to be in for the highly thought of Egyptian defender Islam Ramadan who plays for his homeland club Haras El Hodood with the twenty one year old thought to be an integral part of Wengers new defensive plans. Ramadan has also attracted a huge amount of interest from some of Europe’s leading clubs including Lyon, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.
