Not exact matches
Just as the Gunners are getting over our own injury crisis and are looking to build a decent run of results together, following on from a 2 - 0 win over Hull City in the FA
cup and a 3 - 0 defeat of Stoke City yesterday, our
next Premier
League game throws up an away
game with the reigning EPL champions.
Arsenal have a massive week ahead starting with today's FA
Cup match at home to Watford, followed by our trip to Barcelona in midweek, and then a massive
game away at Everton in the
League next weekend.
one thing is for sure, Chelsea will not win
league or icl, and I wish they get City in the 4th round of FA and loose too, and in another
cup I wan na crystal palace beating them, and Dean to be fined for today's calls, and costa getting red
next game, missing 5
games, getting red again, released, picked up by Bastia and retired on Corsica
Then they have the
league cup game against Hull City on the Tuesday after and Hull could do us a huge favour by taking that to extra time as it has to be decided on the night.They then have to get ready for the always tiring trip to Stoke and the TV folk have done us a favour here by giving their weary legs an early Saturday start before their final UCL
game the
next Tuesday.
Wilshere could return for the FA
cup clash with Middlesborough
next week and then be available for the last 13 Premier
League games and the Champions
League.
Arsenal have come through the gruelling Christmas schedule with flying colours and have moved to the top of the Premier
League, but it is also important that we now concentrate on our
next game which is the first in our defence of our FA
Cup trophy.
We played Cambridge 2s in a BUCS
league match in the second week of term and lost 6 - 0, we then drew them in the second round of the BUCS
cup and lost 3 - 1, holding them at 1 - 1 for much of the
game before conceding two late goals — I think the contrast between these two results (and the performances) is a testament to our hard work on and off the pitch and gives us a lot to be optimistic about looking forward to
next term.
With Premier
League, Europa
League and
League Cup games coming thick and fast over the
next month or so, they'll need quality and depth across the squad, and welcoming this quintet back into the fold having shaken off various injury issues will undoubtedly be a welcome sight for Wenger and his men.
He will miss his club's
next three
games through suspension and will be hoping inspire his current XI to another famous turnaround, similar to that of the 2005 Champions
League final and the 2006 FA
Cup final where he scored crucial goals to help Pool win those
games.
He played his
League Cup team against Zagreb two weeks ago, and is likely to do the same tomorrow with the crucial Man United
game coming up
next.
That is why it is great news today that Francis Coquelin has recovered more quickly than expected and is back in training, in fact, according to the Mirror today, Francis is even likely to be in the squad for
next weekends FA
Cup game against Burnley in preparation for the midweek
League game against Southampton.
The
games that the 26 - year old will definitely miss, along with the three lions» clashes with Slovenia and Lithuania, will be the Arsenal home
games in the Premier
League against West Brom and Brighton, the Carabao
cup tie at home to Doncaster Rovers tonight and the trip to Belarus to plat BATE Borisov in the Europa
League next week.
To me this is almost a must win, Our
next 3 premier
league games after stoke, Chelsea away, Leicester Away, Man United Away, with the small matter of a visit to Zagreb and WHL to meet Spurs in the Capital One
Cup.
helo dear guys so nice to be here again after long while.We will again win fa
cup INSHAA ALLAH and become the most successful club to win fa
cups and i have a feeling that if we win
next 2 3
games and chelsea lose or draw few
games and also without costa we have a slight outside chance to win the
league after long 11 years i hope so we win and become a top notch club again after invincibles and so far so good things are looking well..
The Red Devils were in FA
Cup action prior to the international break so have a
game in hand on some of their rivals at the top of the table, but the race is on to secure qualification for the Champions
League next year.
I guess AW is not taking into the account the «Arsenal injury» factor... also the start of
next season and its the
league, CL, Capital
Cup, FA
Cup and International
games for the players... we will need quality players to rotate squad... can not replace Coq with Flamini (just example) and still expect to win the
league.
Now Arsene Wenger and the players must make sure that this is a blip and not the way our fortunes will pan out, because before the
next break we have EPL
games against Everton away, Swansea at home and Man City away as well as the Carabao
Cup game and the Europa
League double header with Red Star Belgrade.
That brings me onto the good news, because with Arsenal losing away to Liverpool and missing this weekend's round of Premier
League games because of our involvement in the FA
cup we could have found ourselves cut adrift when our
next EPL
game comes around.
They are useful though as cover for short term injuries, international weeks, FA and
League cup but not regular
game plans unless they prove themselves in that role over the course of
next season, which would then, be a bonus...
Having said that, Coquelin won't be able to play all
games next season due to injuries, suspension and remember we have carling
cup, Fa
cup, the
league and champions
league to play for
next season.
Some
games, new «DM» and coquelin could start... We all have goals for
next season» Judging by what I expect from Arsenal
next season, I want to see us challenge for the
league and hopefully win it, retain the FA
cup will be good, pass the round of 16 in the champions
league....
Clearly the FA
cup looks the easier of the two even though our
next game is away to Man United, but the one we all really want is the Champions
League.
So unless we fit the replay in on the same week that the
next round of FA
cup games is due, one of our Premier
League games will have to be moved.
Hull also have four
games before the
next FA
cup weekend so it seems that moving
league games is the only option.
After that, however, the question of who will be our
next choice between the sticks, and perhaps this will involve the Champions
League games as well as the FA
cup and Capital One
cup competitions, is much harder to predict.
With the a draining Europa
League campaign coming up for the Gunners next season they are going to need more depth to their squad as when you consider there are 38 league games, up to 15 games in the Europa League (should they reach the final) up to 6 games in the FA Cup and the same in the League Cup, Arsenal could end up playing in 65 games over the course of the s

While Arsenal took our FA
cup 3rd round
game against Sunderland seriously and also got the just reward for starting with first team stars like Walcott, Giroud, Koscielny, Bellerin and Petr Cech, our
next Premier
League opponents Liverpool made wholesale changes.
Arsenal have already got through to the
next round of the FA
cup without the Spaniard at right back, although it was a much harder
game against Preston North End than we would have liked, and there is good reason to expect us to do the same away to Swansea City in the Premier
League this weekend.
We have a little run of
games that should see us into the top four and in touch with the top, and also perhaps into the
next round of the Europa
League and the Carabao
Cup before the trip to Man City at the start of
next month.
Giroud proved himself time and again as a super sub for the Gunners this season and I feel he has it in him to keep doing so once again
next season and that is a huge asset for any side to have in a long and arduous campaign with European
games and two domestic
cups to cope with as well as the
league.
After that
game, Arsenal rallied and won four and drew one of their
next five
games, and Wenger finally dragged the team back up to third place in the
League and retained the FA
Cup, but that has seemingly all been but forgotten....

next two
games are away to Brighton in the FA

League Cup match against Reading tomorrow, so as to give our tired stars a chance to recover for the
next League game at Sunderland
next weekend, although our manager is keen for us to get back to winning ways against the Championship side.
With no more FA
cup games or Champions
League ties to interest us, there could soon be very little for Arsenal to play for other than a place in Europe for
next season.

league performances have been poor we had some tough draws and the premier
league is more demanding then the other
leagues in strwnght of competition and
games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent and plays well but cant hold focus in
games he drops off and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders and i think give him the extension one year its a world
cup year and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad and
next year will have a better idea what it really takes to win here shore up some spots and depth and were in contention fail and the changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline
And with a trip to Manchester United
next up in the
league for Arsenal (after
cup games against Hull City and Barcelona), the hosts will be going all out to secure all three points, just as they did when the sides last met at King Power Stadium last year, with Arsenal running out 5 - 2 winners.

game time in the
League Cup.

next chance to play could be the

We have a few days now to recover and plan for the FA
cup and then another week before the

With automatic qualification for
next season's Champions
League all but secured despite the rather disappointing draw against Sunderland, Arsenal must now focus their attention on the FA
Cup final against Aston Villa, and the Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere has warned that the North London side must put things right in regards to form before the big
game at Wembley.
For most of the
games that Arsenal have played this season, whether in the Premier
League, domestic
cups or Champions
League competitions, we have had to cope with a bigger injury list than our opponents, but that was not true of West ham on Wednesday and even less so for our
next EPL
