Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits that the somewhat excessive five minutes of added time at the end of yesterday's 3-2 win at West Bromwich Albion were tremendously stressful and that he is considering the possibility of suing referee Mike Jones.

Wenger was thrilled that his side managed to end the turbulent 2011-12 season on a high note despite a lot of drama unfolding on the final day itself.

Welcome, my fellow Gunners, to another year in which we faithful worshippers have been privileged to celebrate our favourite Saint's Day.

And why is St Totteringham's Day our favourite holy occasion?

Well, I believe it's because it combines all the qualities of the other, lesser, Saints' Days that we mark throughout the year.

Rice gets the right send off

The season ended last night. We achieved what we set out to do at the start of the day. That is to secure the third place and get ourselves into that Champions League pot next season. Though we didn't quite do it in the fashion that we preferred but we merely added to the drama that has been the final day of the Premier League season.

Today an acquaintance asked after Arsenal's weekend opponents. After I explained the significance of this afternoon's match he said "why worry, it is only a football game." Firstly, this shows a total misunderstanding of the Raddy psyche, but more to the point, it indicates a lack of understanding of the nature of importance.

What he really wants. Trophies, not a return to Holland

After knowing that he has won the award for almost a week now, Robin Van Persie finally went to receive it. During the glittering ceremony, RvP also spoke about his love for Arsenal Football Club. The headline in that link will read as "but that doesn't mean he'll stay".

With a summer of wild speculation about Robin Van Persie's future at Arsenal ahead, it's refreshing to learn that we do have players who love the club unequivocally and are committed to the cause. Of course, there is every chance RVP will sign a new deal and secure a long future at the Emirates and who can fault our main man?

Arsenal left-back Andre Santos has made it clear that he is now feeling complete settled in London and has attributed much of his comfort at the club to the relationships he has developed with teammates off the field.

After gradually making a successful transition from a deadline-day signing to the team's starting left-back, Santos famously scored in the 5-3 derby win away to Chelsea in October.

Morning all. A few bits and pieces from yesterday's press conference and beyond to get us going.

We'll start with Arsene Wenger declaring football to be too conservative when it comes to introducing video technology. The manager reckons it's high time we sorted this out to provide an aid to referees who, due to the fact they're not robots, will make mistakes and miss things.

Being kicked a few times won't stop Sagna from playing

The last time we faced a team in the relegation zone, we lost. This time around, the gap is even bigger. It was 3rd against 18th then, today it's 3rd against 20th. Wolverhampton Wonderers are the opponent for tonight and given the form that both teams are in and the position of both clubs, this should really be nothing other than a win for Arsenal.

Morning all. It's still pretty quiet despite the fact that we play QPR tomorrow. That should all change when Arsene meets the press later on in his usual pre-game press conference.

As yet there's no team news but I'm hoping no news is good news as far as that goes. The only player we have any real concern about is Laurent Koscielny who has spent the week having his knee knack looked at.

Andre Santos and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have no doubts that their Arsenal side can go from relative anonymity at the beginning of this year to being crowned champions at the end of next season.

Santos and Oxlade-Chamberlain arrived last summer to join a Gunners squad that lost the services of Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri to Manchester City, and former skipper Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona.

Arsenal's summer signing Andre Santos has revealed that he has been thrilled with the treatment he has received from everyone at the club and has chosen the Gunners faithful for special praise after recently returning from a long injury spell.

Brazil international Santos, signed from Fenerbahce seven months ago, briefly showed glimpses of his talent before being sidelined towards the end of 2011.

Arsenal's summer signing, Andre Santos revealed that after few months playing in the premiership, the left back finally adapted to life in London, stating his joy of being treated wonderfully by the staffs and also fans, urging him to try and make history at Emirates.

The left back also feels the need to repay all of those who immediately puts faith on him, despite there have been many questions regarding his quality especially since he only came from Turkey league.

New signings were exactly what Arsenal needed to successfully manage the challenges of the English top flight this season but left-back Kieran Gibbs argues that the arrival of new faces at the Emirates this season also led to a period of transition.

Gibbs, who was immediately chosen as the replacement for Manchester City-bound Gael Clichy last summer, saw his side hammered 8-2 by defending champions Manchester United seven months ago, leading manager Arsene Wenger to spend uncharacteristically on the transfer deadline day.

Fellow arsophiles, I want to pose a simple question:

In a season of ups and downs, false dawns and unexpected revivals, which Arsenal player has turned out to be the biggest surprise package (in a positive way)?

I'm not talking about the likes of Vermaelen and van Persie, of whom we all expected great things.

Welcome to your Weekly Football wrap! From the looks of it, the Valencianos are all ready to celebrate their traditional Fallas festival by burning these "ninots" (puppets) of Jose Mourinho and Barca's assistant coach, Tito Vilanova at the celebration on March 19.

Support on the way

Friday and it still hurts a little that we did not qualify for the next phase of the Champions League. But it's best we put that disappointment on the side and concentrate on the positives. We're on a small run now, small run of victories. Only 3 consecutive matches won on the trot but big wins each one of them.

Whilst OTP doesn't condone the throwing of missiles onto the pitch, we are still a little bit impressed by the Legia Warsaw that used the inclement weather to their advantage. Three Sporting Lisbon players were training on the pitch before the game, but after a secret signal from the ultras, fans threw snowballs at the [.

There's something beautifully eerie about Arsenal's Emirates stadium when it experiences a night of snowfall. It almost looks like a scene out of the Twilight Zone and the colour of the sky just takes you to a different place. What are these goose pimples? Bring back November, please!

He won't mind seeing a fit Wilshere

Let's start with the obvious shall we. The Champions League draw takes precedent and rightly so. The biggest tournament in club football today and the 2nd round draw took place without any Manchester clubs in it. For our efforts of finishing top of our group, we were rewarded with a date against AC Milan.

The most prized left foot in the club now

When it rains, it pours. Especially when it is related to the Arsenal injury news. If you haven't already heard, Andre Santos will need to undergo a surgery to repair his damaged ligament in his right ankle. That will take him out of action right until middle of March.

Morning all.

Last night Chelsea beat Man City. Not with iron bars, sadly. If it were up to me teams I didn't like (which is all of them) would be sent onto the pitch carrying clubs and planks with nails sticking out of them and told to have at each other. The team with most men left standing at the end gets the three points.

With so much grief given out to our esteemed manager during pre season, and with another transfer window just around the corner, I thought it might be a good time to see how Wenger's apparent 'panic buys' have compared to the big money signings of some of our closest league rivals.

Yossi opens his accounts for Arsenal

This was Arsenal's first defeat in this season's Champions League and it had we not qualified prior, it would be shambolic rather than comical. Olympiacos must have thought we'd done them a favour but they could rightly be disappointed to miss out on the next stage.

Andre Clarindo Dos Santos was born on the 8th March 1983 in São Paulo, Brazil. His early career at Figueirense was as a left winger. After loan spells at Flamengo and Athletico Mineiro, he joined Corinthians and was successfully converted into an attacking left back.

Premier League action later today as we take on Fulham at the Grove.

Regardless of who has been in charge over the last few years this has generally been a pretty tight affair. Ok, there's been an away 3-0 and a home 4-0 in recent years but they've been tough to break down and when we talk about goalkeepers having one of those game Schwarzer has done that more than once against us.

The only fit first team fullback left

With everyone safe and sound back at Arsenal, Arsene Wenger conducted his pre match press conference today. The topics which he covered can be seen here. As with any presser, the more important topics usually covers who's out and who's back in the squad.

George "Geordie" Armstrong died of a brain haemorrhage after collapsing on the training field 11 years ago on the first of this month. He was a year younger than me and joined the club as a 17-year-old, two years after I had first claimed my permanent place on the terraces as a 15-year-old. He was my first footballing idol and was to be associated with the club on and off for 39 years.

The criticism of Arsène for trying to force square pegs into round holes has frequently been levelled over recent seasons. Bendtner, Eboue and Arshavin in particular have all been deployed in areas that would not be their first choice let alone the Championship Managers among us. The reason for this has generally been a lack of depth in the squad exacerbated by the perennial injury problems that have depleted us so cruelly at vital times.

Defender re-opens homophobia in football argument After Arsenal beat West Brom yesterday, new signing Andre Santos took to Twitter to celebrate the victory. Unfortunately, as English isn't Santos' first language he made something of a schoolboy error in his short tweet, as you can see. We can imagine two things will happen now: 1.
