This Is It! Newcastle United vs Arsenal Match Preview
RY’S MATCH PREVIEW This is it. The final day of the season and Champions League qualification rests on this result. If we win: we qualify – and depending on Chelsea’s result against Everton we may have a third place playoff decider. (Although that is very unlikely.) If we don’t win, it falls into the hands […]
Lukas Podolski vs Olivier Giroud; Who would you start in the biggest match of Arsenal’s season?
Michael Jeffares Column Well here we are one game from achieving the board’s target of achieving Champions League football for 2013/14. All that separates us from wrapping up a remarkable turnaround since the North London derby in March is a win at St James’ Park. Not our happiest of hunting grounds but our record isn’t too […]
Arsenal 4 Wigan Athletic 1 – On The Home Straight
Matt’s Match Review So it’s 37 down and just one game to go for this campaign, as Arsenal made it nine games unbeaten in the Premier League as we beat, and ultimately relegated, FA Cup Winners Wigan Athletic on a wet Tuesday evening at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game in which neither side […]
Arsenal centre-half says he’s not going anywhere
Since his arrival from Lorient in 2010, Koscielny has had his fair share of ups and downs at Arsenal. He has hit patches of good form throughout his time at the club, and personally, I prefer him to Mertesacker at the heart of Arsenal’s defence. WTTGT
Bac to his best. Sagna shows his true colours
Bacary Sagna was without a doubt one of, if not, the best player on the field at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The French full-back filled in at centre-back after Laurent Koscielny injured himself in the warm-up, and he was an absolute warrior displaying determination, commitment and, most importantly, class.

Dean got the Koscielny decision spot on (Video)
Fans couldn’t get away from the fact that yesterday was Super Sunday. It was continuously announced to the watching world that Manchester United were hosting Liverpool and Manchester City were to travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in a day where football all but took centre stage. While the encounter at Old Trafford all but passed by without a hitch, things were […]
Was Vermaelen the wrong choice as captain?
We often hear the not too uncommon term ‘the captain should lead by example on the pitch’ when referring to football skippers. The man who is given the armband is nine times out of ten the best player in the squad, and is one that can roll up his sleeves and inspire his teammates when […]
Koscielny is right but in the wrong
It’s continuing to dominate the headlines, but diving is again at the forefront of football as the governing body looks to clamp down on the form of cheating. The latest to grab the attention of fans and the media alike is that theatrics of Tottenham Hotspur wideman Gareth Bale during Wales’ 2-1 win over Scotland, […]
Laurent Koscielny: a New Squillaci?
Laurent Koscielny for all of his goals and excellent performances last year, he has truly lacked polish and defensive acuity, or defensive awareness for those of you who are FIFA nuts from back in the day. Now I know I’m going on a rant, but yesterday I managed to squeak in a half of Champions […]
