City’s defeat at Southampton, coupled with United’s victory over another of Reid’s former clubs Everton on Sunday, has opened up a 12-point gap at the top with a dozen matches remaining. The former England international does not expect United to be caught believing their ability to win matches when they are not at their best will get them over the line. “Champions win football matches when they are not playing well,” he told Press Association Sport. “Manchester United have done it and Manchester City haven’t and that’s the bottom line. That is why they are 12 points clear and that is the reason I think they will win it.” Former Manchester City manager Peter Reid believes Manchester United’s ability to grind out results has given them the edge over their rivals and will ultimately lead to a 20th league title. City have been well short of last season’s form, when they won the Premier League with virtually the last kick of the season, and Reid believes a number of factors have conspired against them. He said defending the title was tough enough but felt crashing out of the Champions League group stage for the second successive season delivered a significant blow to morale. “I think it is very difficult to retain a title. Everyone wants to beat the champions,” added Reid, speaking at St Helens Junior Football Club who are halfway through the Football Pools 90-Day Community Challenge to complete a £50,000 makeover. “Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure, two of their best players, haven’t been as influential as they were last year. “They haven’t scored enough goals – they scored a lot last season – and that all comes into the equation. “In the Champions League they had a hell of a difficult group but they got three points and for the Premier League champions that is a really poor return. “As a result I think confidence and momentum were lost early on by City as it showed you where they are in the grand scale of things in Europe and that has been borne out in the Premier League. But they have still got the firepower and some really good players.”

Press Association The 25-year-old Denmark forward has found himself slipping out of the first-team picture over recent campaigns, resulting in him being loaned out to Sunderland and then Juventus, where he suffered a thigh injury and failed to score a goal. Bendtner had been lined up to join first Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this summer, but could not agree personal terms with the German club – with his current Arsenal deal worth a reported £52,000-a-week. Both newly promoted Hull – managed by Steve Bruce, who had the striker on loan at Birmingham as a raw talent in 2006-07 – and Crystal Palace were also keen to try to broker a deal. Arsenal looked to bring in some attacking cover on deadline day, when they broke the club record transfer with a £42million deal for Mesut Ozil, but they could not push though a loan deal for Demba Ba with Chelsea, which led manager Arsene Wenger to decide against letting Bendtner leave. While clearly disappointed he could not get a “fresh start” somewhere else, Bendtner, who is currently recovering full match fitness, maintains if called upon he would be ready to throw himself back into action in an Arsenal shirt for the first time August 20, 2011. In a statement released by the player’s representatives, International Football Management, Bendtner said: “It is no secret that Arsenal and myself had agreed that I could leave the club during the 2013 summer transfer window, subject to an agreement between all parties. “An agreement had been reached with more than one club this week, but as Arsenal were unable to secure the services of another striker, they reserved their right to not sanction any deal to be concluded. “Naturally, I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to a new challenge, with a new club and a fresh start in English football. “Many things have been said about where my future lies after many years at Arsenal; the truth is I just want to play football which is when I am happiest and Arsenal is a fantastic environment for any professional to apply their trade. “I still feel very strongly about Arsenal Football Club and following positive talks with the manager, I am looking forward to working hard to regain full fitness and doing my very best to help the team and the manager fulfil our objectives and ambitions this season. “I have learnt a lot from my loan experiences at Sunderland and Juventus, and I want to assure all Arsenal fans that I will give everything I have to contribute to what I believe will be a successful season for the club.” 
Nicklas Bendtner has vowed to “give everything” to Arsenal this season after failing to secure a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

TAUNTON, England, (CMC) – Twenty20 World Cup champions West Indies Women will look to turn the page on their ordinary form of the last three weeks when they meet Australia Women in their opening match of the ICC Women’s World Cup here Monday.The contest, which bowls off at 10:30 am (5:30 am Eastern Caribbean time) will be a rematch of the T20 World Cup final India last year when the Caribbean side dominated in style and a repeat of the 2013 World Cup final in which the Aussies got the upper hand.West Indies will start as underdogs especially based on their form in recent weeks. They lost both official warm-up games last week to Pakistan and South Africa respectively and prior to that, went down to England, Southern Vipers and India in other practice games.However, captain Stafanie Taylor told a media conference here that her side had put the hiccups of recent weeks behind them and would be starting afresh.“Warm up games are gone. We’re not focussing on what’s gone,” the Jamaican said.“Tomorrow everyone’s on a level playing field and we’re just trying to focus on what we need to do in that game.”Australia, the reigning champions, are understandably tournament favourites and reiterated that status with convincing victories in their two warm-up matches.They boast the world-rated likes of Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry and Alex Blackwell but Taylor said West Indies would be focussed on executing their game and not worrying about the Aussies.“We are not focussing too much on the Australians. We’re trying to focus on our game and what we need to do as a team to win,” she explained.“We know that Australia are going to come hard at us and as I said, we just need to focus on our game and what we do best. We can’t focus too much on the Aussies, we just have to remember all the good things we did against them in the last World Cup and go out there and play our cricket.”Taylor, who averages 44 from 98 ODIs, will lead her side’s batting, with help coming from fellow veteran Deandra Dottin, teenaged opener Hayley Matthews and former skipper Merissa Aguilleira.However, it has been the Windies’ batting which has let them down on tour so far, highlighted in their dismal 63 all out in their second official warm-up against South Africa in Oakham last Thursday.Their bowling has been more consistent with new-ball seamers Shamilia Connell and Shakera Selman along with off-spinners Taylor, Matthews and Anisa Mohammed, looking in decent touch.Despite the recent results, Taylor said her side had been working assiduously behind the scenes to strengthen their overall game in preparation for the start of the tournament.“We’re focussing on all areas, trying to get everything right – that’s what you have to do to beat a team, especially a team like Australia,” she pointed out. “We know they’re a strong team so we know we have to get our team right.”She added: “Everyone has their game that they’ve been working on in the nets. Today is a day where people just need to top up and get ready for tomorrow’s game.”SQUADS:WEST INDIES – Stafanie Taylor (captain), Merissa Aguilleria, Reniece Boyce, Shamilia Connell, Shanel Daley, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Qiana Joseph, Kyshona Knight, Hayley Matthews, Anisa Mohammed, Chedean Nation, Akeira Peters, Shakera Selman and Felicia WaltersAUSTRALIA – Meg Lanning (captain), Sarah Aley, Kristen Beams, Alex Blackwell, Nicole Bolton, Ashleigh Gardner, Rachael Haynes, Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Belinda Vakarewa, Elyse Villani and Amanda-Jade Wellington.
