Wenger and Arsenal thrive under pressure!! 40

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Bob

If you could bottle what it is that makes Arsenal put in a storming run at the end of the season, you would be a rich man. While Tottenham generally choke at the end to leave them disappointed and out of the Champions League, the Gunners come good and get the results we need, despite a mountain of pressure.

Arsene Wenger has been under severe strain at times this season, and it has shown. Now, however, he is positively relishing the situation and maybe that has transferred on to the players. Either side of the break on Tuesday, Wigan were looking good and the nerves were creeping in to the Arsenal team, but they responded brilliantly and now have to do it just one more time.

Should Arsenal raid Wigan for Boyce? 66

Could Arsenal make a shock move for 33 year old Wigan defender Emerson Boyce? by SS

Arsene Wenger would hope to get Boyce cheap and use him as cover in a variety of defensive positions and to act as an experienced leader within the defence. Bacary Sagna looks set to leave the club this summer with Russian giants Anzhi and newly crowned French champions PSG interested.

Wenger is expected to bring in Sebastian Corchia or Lukasz Piszczeck to work with Carl Jenkinson to fill the right back position in the team. Despite Boyce being 33 years old, Wenger has always been very impressed with his stamina that he displays for Wigan by bombing up and down the side of the field week in, week out.

Arsenal boss feels Cazorla has been ignored- Sshh Wenger! 60

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Bob

Arsene Wenger must be fairly confident that he will have no problem holding on to his best Arsenal players this summer. Despite being stung in the past, he seems to be secure in the belief that the Arsenal board will not be tempted to accept a good offer for one of the stars at the Emirates.

Even so, I am not sure it is such a good idea to remind potential suitors just how good Santi Cazorla has been for the Gunners this season. The Spanish international showed his class again on Tuesday by setting up all four goals against Wigan in a Man of the Match performance, but Wenger feels the 28-year old has not got the credit he deserves in England.

Arsenal Debate: Podolski or Giroud to start against Newcastle? 79

Should Wenger Pick Giroud For The Newcastle Match? by FD

So, what was all the fuss about? Last night a confident and assured Arsenal team swept aside a weary Wigan and kept the qualification for a Champions League place firmly in our own hands.

It proved to be a match too far for Saturday’s FA Cup winners and perennial escape artists, who now have to face up to life outside the Premier League. But Arsenal continued their recent superb form and have now notched up 23 points out of a possible 27 since the spuds match on 3rd March, leaving Gunners fans to ponder how much more relaxing the end of season run-in would have been if only this good form had kicked in a couple of months earlier.

Wenger – Arsenal were nervous and it was a tight game 34

Posted on May 15, 2013 by admin

Arsene Wenger watched his side finally come good in the second half against Wigan last night, but he thinks the game was much closer than Arsenal’s winning margin suggests. He said after the game: “We had a quick start and a strong start for the first 20 minutes. We were really dominating and after that we became a bit conservative and pushed forward less and allowed Wigan back in the game.

“We were unfortunate to go to 1-1 because I think it was a free kick for us. It was a big blow for our team and you could see that when we came out in the second half – we were not as fluent or as confident as we wanted to be. Wojceich made a great save at 1-1. At that stage we were on the brink of conceding a goal.

Arteta `massive doubt` for Arsenal v Newcastle 49

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Bob

Arsenal still have a top four finish and Champions League qualification in their own hands after a fantastic 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic last night. The Gunners could even snatch third place with Chelsea having just a single goal better goal difference.

We still have to win the final game away to Newcastle United on Sunday, however, and it looks like we will have to do it without Mikel Arteta. The vice-captain was substituted late in the game and it turns out that he has a calf problem, as Arsene Wenger revealed after the game.

Arsenal will NOT challenge for title without a defensive midfielder! 89

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Bob

The end of the season is unusually tense at Arsenal as we are sitting two points behind Tottenham in the race for the last Champions League spot and we have to play Wigan and Newcastle. The club gets a lot of criticism these days but the club always manages to finish in a safe position, however, this season things could be different.

When I think about the squad and how well they do considering how many players we have lost in recent years I begin to think that there is a lot to do before we can compete for titles again but the first thing is that we need a defensive midfielder who can be relied upon to protect the defence at all times.

Arsenal vs. Wigan Confirmed Teams, Preview and Live Stream 331

There is no room for error for either team tonight as only a win will do for Arsenal and Wigan Athletic at the Emirates stadium. Although the Gunners would still have a mathematical chance of overtaking Tottenham on the final day of the Premier League season if we drew or lost tonight, realistically it would mean that Arsenal would be consigned to the Europa League next season.

Arsene Wenger has made just one change to the side that beat QPR 10 days ago, while Roberto Martinez starts with exactly the same side that started at Wembley on Saturday. The Spanish manager will be hoping their confidence and adrenaline from that trophy win gets them through.

Arsenal’s end of season fixtures always do my head in! 48

Arsenal must beat Wigan – but a win would help our rivals by FD

It does your head in. You’ve got twenty clubs each playing 38 matches over the course of a long Premier League season, and yet we always seem to arrive at the final stages of the campaign with the remaining fixtures contriving to throw up a set of possible permutations only an evil and twisted mastermind could have devised.

Arsenal just need to relax and play says Arteta 30

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Bob

The Arsenal vice-captain is not expecting an easy game against Wigan tonight, in fact he thinks the FA cup winners will give it everything they’ve got. He is, however, confident that Arsenal can get the win and the three points we need, as long as they don’t let the occasion get to them.

“They will play for their lives,” said the Spaniard. “For them it’s massive to stay in the Premier League. I’m sure they will give everything they’ve got.

“I don’t know how much they’ve got in the tank but, whatever they’ve got, they are going to give it. They are a dangerous team as they showed here last year when they played against us.”

Great Arsenal injury news ahead of Wigan – but worries about Wilshere 24

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

Arsenal fans are used to seeing a long list of injuries for most of the Premiership season, but going into our final two games, we are down to just one person left on the treatment table, and no prizes for guessing who that is!

Last week, there was Kieran Gibbs, Lukasz Fabianski and Abou Diaby on the list, but Wenger revealed yesterday: “The news is quite good, we have everyone available. Kieran Gibbs should be back too, he has a test today.

“Fabianski is available as well.”

So Diaby must be feeling quite lonely in the medical department at the moment! But Wenger also finally announced the fact that Jack Wilshere was definitely set for summer surgery, as we revealed three weeks ago.

Arsenal’s biggest danger tonight ? – Mike Dean! 41

Arsenal have only one man to fear tonight, and he doesn’t play for Wigan by DG

We Arsenal fans have almost every reason to be buoyant at our remaining fixtures over the next week. A home tie against a Wigan team that has underperformed all year and who will most likely be suffering from a cup final hangover, followed by an away game against a Newcastle side who simply don’t care anymore. Two teams in the bottom 6, and all we have to do is get the 6 points to secure our top 4 spot. The fixtures couldn’t have been much kinder, regardless of Wigan’s recent good form. So what could possibly go wrong? Oh, by the way…did I mention who’s refereeing the Wigan game?
