German striker Lukas Podolski is being linked with Arsenal (again?) after the English club sent
scouts to the Cologne star's match against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Podolski is thought to fit the mold of a partner for Robin van Persie to help tempt the
goal-scoring Dutchman to stick around.
Wigan away tomorrow and a 7am start from Sussex. The full horror of the 3-2 defeat a couple of
seasons back still haunts me but we must travel with confidence although they did win last week so
will be about as buoyant aas they could be when the face us. Great.
We managed a 2-2 draw last term and AW has had his say ahead of the Premier League encounter at
the DW/JJB/ASBO Stadium and he has reflected on recent results going ginto tomorrow's game.

Editor's note: At the end of the 2010 season, we posted a series of season reviews of every
Philadelphia Union player. Over the next several weeks PSP continues with a review of the 2011
season.

This is our final "weekly" ranking of the year here on World Club Rankings. In place of next week's
edition, we will be presenting the Annual Top 25 Clubs in the World for 2011. Make sure to vote on

Na tactics can compensate for individual mistakes. Bayern's 3-0 win over
Cologne was rich in absurdity. Ribery blew a fuse. The match ball blew out. Cologne blew a one man
advantage. You could add Solbakken's one-off idea to bring back the five man backline to this list.
Except, that it actually worked out pretty well to frustrate Bayern most of the time.
With Liverpool in obvious need for a proven striker, especially with Suarez facing an eight-match
ban in the near future, one possibility is German hitman Lukas Podolski.
The Polish native is playing for German side Cologne and has scored 14 goals in 15 appearances
already this season.
He has also scored 43 goals in 95 games for his adopted Country, Germany in the past few years.
