Champions League? by GP

I want to point out that, although Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League again, there is something that continues to anger me.

The question I have for Mr Wenger is how many times have we really threatened to go all the way apart from 2006 and 2009?

Every season we have a situation where we can win the group thereby making the next draw easier on paper. Despite that, Wenger continues to go into these games with weakened teams which result in defeat and a tougher draw for the next round. .......Read the full article here

The young Arsenal and Poland keeper Wojciech Szczesny was very lucky not to lose the game for his country last night after he was given a sraight red for his foul on Greece’s Salpingidis inside the box, but luckily his replacement saved the ensuing penalty.

Tyton went on to play very well in the rest of the game and Szczesny understands that he may now have lost his place in the Polish side for the rest of the tournament. He was asked if he would class his performance as a nightmare, and he replied: “To some extent, yes!”

He also scored a hat-trick in the German cup final to secure the league and cup double for his side. .......Read the full article here

The 17 year-old is already a regular back up for the Greek giants Panathiniakos and has won over the supporters with his polished performances despite his tender years. He is used to breaking records though as he first played for the Greece U17 side when he was just 15 years old. .......Read the full article here

Hello! My name’s Pavlos Pavlidis, I live in Greece and I’ve been supporting Arsenal since 2005 when I started watching the team play as frequently as I could, and this is my first attempt on expressing my thoughts to all fellow supporters. .......Read the full article here
