The EURO 2012 Tournament Could Spell Trouble For Arsenal FC – By JG The possible blow-back of the
EURO 2012 Tournament is something Arsenal fans have reason to be wary about. As we know already, a
number of Arsenal players are going to be heavily involved in their countries efforts to win the
competition.
Promoting from within by Richard B. First impressions count. In those first few seconds that you
meet someone for the first time your mind is literally racing, profiling everything about them from
their haircut and choice of footwear right down to the extent they bite their fingernails. Most of
this is done subconsciously, but it [.
Don't believe the rumours! There have been numerous stories going around that Wojciech Szczesny had
injured himself and would not be fit to face West Brom in Arsenal's crucial game tomorrow
afternoon, but I am relieved to be able to tell you that there is no truth in it. Arsenal.com have
just announced on their [.
Arsenal go into the last match of the season knowing that only a win away at West Brom will
guarantee them a place in next season's Champion's league competition. If Tottenham get a better
result against Fulham then they will pip the Gunners to third spot and then the team in fourth will
be relying [.
All the Arsenal players have had it drummed into them by Arsene Wenger that they must expect
Chelski to win the Champion's league, making third place imperative for a place among Europe's
elite. Arsenal's sensational striker therefore knows they must defeat West Brom in the last game of
the season. He also knows that if [.
Tomorrow is Arsenal's most important game of the season in anyones eyes, so Arsene Wenger simply
has to pick his very best available team, so lets have a look at the football betting odds and see
if we can predict who Wenger will choose to start the match and what the outcome will be. First

The final and most crucial game of the season is coming up this weekend and nothing less than a win
will ensure Arsenal a place in next years Champions League. Arsene Wenger gave an up-to-date
rundown of Arsenal injury news, and things aren't too bad all things considering, and he even
confirmed that Sebastien Squillaci [.
Arsene Wenger knows the importance of Arsenal reaching out to their supporters in Africa and Asia
by taking his team on a pre-season tour of foreign climes but he feels that it could take a toll on
his usually relaxed pre-season preparations. "We have had to compromise on the sporting side,
because we had a [.
Arsenal have had a lot of results go in their favour in the last few months as they have struggled
to hold onto the Third Qualifying place for the Champions League, and after taking just two points
from the last nine the Gunners are running out of breathing space at the top. Bolton (with Fabrice
[...
Thomas Vermaelen has issued a rallying call to his Arsenal team-mates, and says that the Gunners
must be prepared for a battle at the Britannia Stadium this afternoon, but also have to keep their
passing game ready to help score the goals needed. "It is always a hard game when we go there, you
know [.
The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has never been a great fan of Stoke City's physical game and "rugby
tactics", but he knows they have grown into an established Premiership team that are very hard to
beat, especially at the Britannia Stadium where they have lost just four times this season. Wenger
knows it will be [.
Tottenham : Bottling it since 1961 and the remaining fixtures by KJ It has been a decent day of
football in relation to Arsenal. I'm watching the Classico at the moment with a smug look on my
face knowing Tottenham have just lost against QPR. It is hilarious watching their season go to pot.
The [...]
The race for Third and Fourth positions is hotting up as the end of the season approaches, and with
Chelsea seven points behind Arsenal going into today's game, this is a must-win for our West London
neighbours. But Arsenal are also desperate to stay in front of the chasing pack, and captain Robin
Van Persie [.
Arsenal vs Chelsea preview by KJ The biggest match of the season gets into full flow tomorrow
midday. I'm tired of calling almost every game the biggest of the season but Arsenal never make
anything easy. This is not only a big match for Arsenal but also for Chelsea. The red and whites on
one [...]
Although the Arsenal injury list is not as bad as it has been at times this season, the untimely
injury to Mikel Arteta couldn't have come at a worse time. Wenger confirmed yesterday that the
Spaniard will not play again this season. He said: "It is season over for Arteta but he doesn't
need surgery, [.
Arsenal star midfielder Mikel Arteta has dealt another immense injury blow to his French manager
Arsene Wenger after the many he has received over the course of the season. According to the many
reports, Mikel is out for good this season after the Wigan game. With four matches still to go in
the Premier League, [.
The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger cannot relax just yet after the Gunners disappointing 2-1 defeat to
Wigan on Monday, and they now have a crucial match against Chelsea next weekend, who are one of
Arsenal's rivals for a place in the Top Four. Wenger is certainly aware of how significant this
game could be for [.
Fixture list for the remaining top 4 contenders. by KJ Yesterday as I mentioned in my match report
was a shocking result. I honestly expected at least some sort of fight from the lads. However, I
don't want to take anything from Wigan, they were fantastic and all their players had amazing games
whilst even [.
The Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has seen his team beat both Liverpool and Man United in recent
games, but he is not quite so confident of getting another three points against Arsenal this
evening at the Emirates, in fact he thinks that today's Gunners are even better than the team that
whopped Wigan 4-0 earlier [.
Arsenal's injury situation ahead of the match against Wigan isn't looking too good as a few Gunners
are still in contention and will have to undergo further tests until they will be cleared for the
game. Gibbs is unlikely to feature in the match, as Brazilian Andre Santos is due to replace him
and continue [.
Wolves vs Arsenal preview, line-up and predicted score by KJ Arsenal are on a hot-streak at the
moment and have won 8 of their last 9 games. This impeccable form has seen them rise to 3rd above
their North London rivals and now look to increase that gap to 5 points. Wolverhampton Wanderers
are a [...
Arsenal vs Man City preview, plus line-up and score prediction by KJ Arsenal go into this game
suffering a loss to relegation strugglers QPR who ended the Gunner's 7 game win-streak. Because of
that loss, this game has become even more vital for our fight for automatic Champions league
qualification.
Van Persie is predicting a 10 goal thriller by KJ Arsenal's six game unbeaten run ended against
relegation strugglers QPR. The loss was disappointing to say the least and has now forced Arsenal
to get a result against Man City. However, Van Persie is confident that Arsenal can get a positive
result from the game [.
Comparing the run-ins: by SV We are at a stage of the season now where the ‘every game is a cup
final' attitude could not be more useful. We are in what I see as a three horse race for the 3rd
and 4th spots; with the other two horses being Spuds and Chelsea. The [...]
QPR vs Arsenal Match preview and favourite line-up (plus score prediction) by KJ It's happy times
as an Arsenal fan. We're on 7 wins now and can extend that to 8 against Queen Park Rangers. Arsenal
haven't won 8 games on the trot since the Invincibles season. It would show a sign of intent from
[...]
Arsenal vs Aston Villa preview plus line up by KJ One of the more easier games in our run-in for a
top 4 finish. They are not playing for anything important. There is no European qualification or
fears of relegation. They are one of the most mediocre clubs in existence at the moment. However,
there [.
What games are left? by KJ Arsenal have found inspired form and have won the last six games in a
row. They have finally overturned the seemingly impossible 13 point deficit between us and
Tottenham. It has been truly remarkable. However, I've seen many already celebrating and trying to
wind up the opposite fans and [.
Remember the times when people said that Arsenal would be lucky to get into the Europa League next
season. Believe it or not, it wasn't even half a year back... Now, times have changed. We are no
longer struggling in the bottom half of the table, we are no longer wondering whether we'll be in
[...]
Arsene Wenger has seen his team come back from behind in the last four games, with three of them
being won in the dying minutes. Wenger believes this is purely down to the newfound fighting spirit
in the Arsenal side and is aware that they are likely to have to do the same again tonight [...]
Everton v Arsenal Preview by KJ This weekend has felt so empty without Arsenal playing. It just
shows how grossly dependent I am on them for my fix. Anyway, Arsenal returns to Merseyside to play
the blue side of Liverpool. Everton have been on a decent run and thanks to them, Arsenal have
closed the [.
It looks like a three-way fight between the bitter London rivals of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham
for the two remaining Champions League places after the Manchester clubs. Last nights brilliant 2-1
win over Newcastle has ruled the North-East team out of the race, but has put Arsenal just one
point behind Spurs with Chelsea just [.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to attack the Premiership now that Arsenal have dropped
out of all the other competitions they were gunning for. According to the Frenchman everything can
happen in 11 games and Arsenal may even be able to get higher than the 3rd spot which is currently
held by Tottenham.
The Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has given a remarkably honest assessment of his teams chances of
beating Arsenal on Monday and challenging for a Top Four position this season, in fact he is not
even sure that the Toon can hang on for a place in the Europa League! Pardew told the Chronicle:
"It would [.
Arsene Wenger has been impressed with Alan Pardew's excellent work in the transfer market and has
pinpointed that as the reason why Newcastle are having such a brilliant season, but the Frenchman
believes that if Arsenal turn up with another good performance on Monday then they should take all
three points from Newcastle.
Arsenal are preparing for the crucial League match against Newcastle on Monday, and after a series
of four games in 12 days for most of the team there was a glut of injuries and tired legs. Luckily
Arsenal have got an extra couple of days to recover from Tuesdays exertions and Arsene Wenger
thinks that [.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger declared that even though he is in a difficult spot with all the
injured players in the squad, he's ready to take a risk and try to get as much possible from the
Champions League game against AC Milan. The Frenchman won't be able to count on the services of
[...]
Arsenal had an extended list of players on the treatment table before yesterday's win over
Liverpool, but now we have to add Benayoun, Gibbs and probably Arteta to the list as well, which
won't give Wenger very many options at all! (Diaby was also injured but he never really came off
the injury list!
Another sumptuous match for the neutral is up for grabs at the beginning of this weekend with both
Arsenal and Liverpool looking to continue their fine form into this match. The lot at Anfield are
evens to win this whilst Arsenal are way out at 13/5 which is surprising after such a convincing
win against [.
Where will Tottenham's threat come from today? by SV The North London derby is upon us and, for the
perhaps the first time in about 15 years, we are being wholly dubbed as underdogs. I can see why
these claims arise, as Tottenham have (let's face it) a quality side, but where does their threat
[...]
Key battles against Tottenham by KJ The most important game of the season is today. This is always
important to any Arsenal fan especially so where the tides have changed between the two teams.
Arsenal will always be top dog in London but we need to stamp our authority. We've done that
against Chelsea and [.
