Ramsey and Wilshere to feature in Arsenal's upcoming fixtures


It has been reported that Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere are expected to return to training so as to face West Ham and Atletico Madrid.

The duo missed Arsenal’s premier game where that the Gunners lost 2-1 to Newcastle United.
They played the second leg match of Europa League quarter-finals in Moscow though Wilshere didn't finish the whole 90 minutes.
Despite Ramsey played full 90 minutes, later after the match he posted the photo of his leg with the wound.

And that made them miss the game against Newcastle on last Sunday.

According to the latest news, the duo is expected to be fit on the next coming matches against Westham and Atletico Madrid.

Top 10 Arsenal players in the premier League era

10. PAUL MERSON
In one sense, it's good that Merson has found a second career in the media: his personal difficulties drained his wealth over the years and post-football life was never likely to be easy.
His adopted television personality has allowed him to become a figure of fun, however, especially among those who are too young to have seen him play. Rather than his chip at Stamford Bridge or his snaking run-and-finish at Anfield, search engines result for Merson are filled with zany comments and grammatical faux-pas'.

But he could play. And, though subsequent years have eroded that perception, he was an exceptionally smart footballer. His best Arsenal moments probably came before the Premier League began, and certainly before his personal life was gripped by vice, but he still flashed with periodic excellence in the early-to-mid 1990s and was as synonymous with the Gunners as almost any other player.
Merson was a victim of football's growing popularity and the fame it afforded him. His own weaknesses may have made him more susceptible to those dangers, but that was a time before awareness existed for such threats. Rather than mourning what he might have been, though, perhaps it's better to celebrate what he was still able to be in spite of such difficulties

9. RAY PARLOUR
If anyone should have been a victim of Arsène Wenger's arrival at Arsenal, it was Parlour. A charter member of the hard-living culture which existed at the club in the 1990s, he was exactly the sort of English professional that Wenger was destined to purge.

Instead, the player once described by Gilles Grimandi as "the funniest he had ever trained with" - presumably not because of his rigid belief in the merits of conditioning - was reborn. He would win four Premier League titles under Wenger as his Arsenal career continued well into the new century. He was no bit part, either, rather an important part of the attacking structure who also provided a bridge between different eras.

When Wenger reformatted his attack around more modern principles, Parlour responded by tailoring his game and would eventually become the lone original. He evolved into a different type of footballing asset and was arguably the hardest-working member of that generation, while he also provided an important cultural anchor to the club's identity.
His 333 Premier League appearances for the Gunners may never be surpassed.

8. Alexis Sanchez

He's a decadently gifted player with a suitcase full of pyrotechnics, but also one equipped with the kind of blue-collared grind that allows his quality to flourish in an attritional environment

The road between Highbury and the Emirates was rocky and tough to endure for supporters who had to watch newly-monied rivals grow beyond them. Sanchez continues to represent the reward, though, because he was the type of elite player envisaged throughout that austerity. It was a short-term sacrifice for an eventual payoff: suffer through the Gervinhos and Chamakhs and, one day, it will all be worthwhile.

7. Martin Keown
He may have looked like an artist's impression of an antiquated center-half, but his longevity relied on far more than just simple resilience
An absolutely horrible player, albeit in the way he needed to be.
"Martin and I then had a row over football issues. I must have said something he took offense at and he pushed me over, kicked me in the face and split my eye."

That anecdote, from Simon Hart's Here we go, Everton, in the 1980s - as told by Pat Nevin - offers a better description of Keown than his encounter with Ruud van Nisteelroy ever will. He was a rugged, uncompromising figure who would eventually become part of the iron first in Arsenal's velvet glove.
But he was also smart enough to survive the apocalypse and his professional career spanned over 20 years because, in addition to his more obdurate qualities, he was one of the finest man-markers the British game has ever seen.

6. David Seaman

If the organization and understanding that existed between the famous back four deserves recognition, then so too does the continuity provided by the goalkeeper behind them

Arsene Wenger was fortunate to inherit a stable defense and that unit is widely considered to have been the foundation for his early success. But if the organization and understanding that existed between the famous back four deserve recognition, then so too does the continuity provided by the goalkeeper behind them.

Seaman wasn't the best shot-stopper and at no point during his career was he definitively the best goalkeeper in the country, but his understanding for the strengths and weaknesses of the players ahead of him fortified the roadblock. Neither should it be overlooked that, as the old guard gradually retired and made way for younger players, much of that solidity remained.

5. Ian Wright
His goal at Elland Road in October 1995, a floated chip caressed over John Lukic, was evidence of his swaggering finesse
Were you to teach a young child how the game should be played, you could do far worse than show him or her clips from Wright's career. Though his behaviour wasn't always exemplary, his enthusiasm was infectious: he loved playing for Arsenal, he loved scoring goals and, for the duration of his career, he seemed to love living. Contemporary players and their stylised cool are relatively joyless, but Wright, as antagonistic as he was capable of being, always gave the impression of understanding his privilege. He was a bundle of menace, mischief and ability and, whether you loved or hated him, you still couldn’t turn away.

4. Tony Adams
There are few captains in Premier League history who have enjoyed a comparably strong psychological hold over their teammate
17 years after its publication, Addictive remains a compelling read. Long before it became a fashionable way of escaping consequences, Adams used his autobiography to definitively own his failings as a younger man. His alcohol addiction persisted in spite of a potentially fatal car accident and a jail sentence, with his burgeoning football career surviving only because of his wonderful ability.

He would play his best football after his 30th birthday once his demons had been locked away. Arsene Wenger's emphasis on diet and conditioning probably helped, but Adams' determination to better himself as a person allowed him to become the presence he was. There are few captains in Premier League history who have enjoyed a comparably strong psychological hold over their team-mates, which is testament to the player and person he was. The centre-back was club captain from a young age, but there’s a definite “before” and “after” within that: Adams was always a leader, but he would eventually become an example, too.

3. Patrick Vieira
The true value of Vieira lies in the reverence with which his contemporaries described him
In time, the hope should be that memories of Vieira are more than just anecdotal and that his footballing worth is allowed to transcend that clip of him and Roy Keane in the Highbury tunnel.

Yes, he was intimidating and Vieira unquestionably had a fierce bite. But while it's entirely appropriate to celebrate that sharp edge and to recognise that, occasionally, he did stray beyond the rules, his legacy remains relatively pure.
Irrespective of era, all great midfielders are judged not only on what they themselves were able to do, but also on what they allowed others to achieve. The measure of Vieira, then, is not in those sequences when he strode through the middle of the pitch, skittling opponents like bowling pins, nor could it be glimpsed when watching him reduce veteran opponents to helpless children. Instead, the true value of Vieira lies in the reverence with which his contemporaries described him.

2. Thierry Henry
He was quicker than everybody else, he was the most reliable finisher in the country and, often, he expressed himself in ways which wouldn't even occur to other players
How many times has a player made the Premier League his own playground? Cristiano Ronaldo didn't, Eric Cantona didn't, and neither Sergio Aguero nor Eden Hazard are doing it now. That level of dominance occurs once in a generation and, over his 254 Arsenal appearances, that's exactly what Henry managed.
He made football look easy. Not in the casual sense and not in isolated patches, but in whole games, weeks and months. He was quicker than everybody else, he was the most reliable finisher in the country and, often, he expressed himself in ways which wouldn't even occur to other players.

1. DENNIS BERGKAMP
It's tempting just to reel off a list of career highlights and reference the goals of his which still remain on heavy rotation. Bergkamp, though, is most vividly portrayed through the words of his team-mates and rivals.
Paul Merson once said that he "honestly didn't think a professional player could be that good" and Peter Schmeichel suggested that Bergkamp “played football like it was all a dream – you couldn’t even imagine some of the things that he was capable of doing with a football". Novelist Nick Hornby once wondered aloud whether the Dutchman "had three feet."

Newcastle United 2 - Arsenal 1 final Recap - poor away performance continues


Arsene Wenger says Arsenal keep making the same mistakes away from home, as proved in the loss to Newcastle.
Alexandre Lacazette's opener in the first half was a positive start for Arsenal and they had further chances to increase their lead at St James' Park but failed to take them.
Newcastle went on to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Ayoze Perez and Matt Ritchie, leaving the Arsenal manager confused by a fifth straight away defeat in the league.
"It is a little bit of the story of the season away from home: we went 1-0 up, we don't put the game to bed and we made mistakes defensively," Wenger said.
"But I felt overall today the fact we played on Thursday night, in the second half we couldn't raise the tempo and keep it up in the first half.
"That is what happened many times this season, that's all we can say today. It's baffling how we lost this game today because of those chances we lose 2-1. On the other hand, the result is there."

Wenger was left disappointed that his team could not increase their lead rather than letting Newcastle into the game as chances were squandered before Perez's equalizer prior to the break, with Ritchie netting the winner in the 68th minute. 

Arsenal Vs Atletico Madrid draw is a nightmare to every gunner? Paul Merson Explains why.


Paul Merson termed this draw as a nightmare for the gunners. They will have more to prove.
Atletico has won it twice and is the favorite in the competition.
Atletico can suffocate you at least to get a goal.
Two legs game is a challenge. If it was a knockout game you never know anything can happen.
they will give Arsenal a hard time.
"It's just a nightmare draw."
Former Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason, who played against Atletico in a pre-season friendly for Spurs, was also in agreement with Merson at the task facing Arsenal.
He told Premier League Daily: "That's the worst possible draw for Arsenal. I think they could beat Atletico in a one-off game in a final but to beat them over the course of two legs, that's going to be very, very difficult for them and that's the toughest draw.
"I think if you were to play this game 10 times, Atletico will probably go through over the two legs seven times.
"Arsenal has that ability to produce results but over the course of two legs, it's going to be very tough for them."
Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa, who was forced off with a thigh injury in the 1-0 Europa League defeat by Sporting Lisbon, is now at Atletico.
The Spaniard's last goal for Chelsea was against the Gunners in the 2017 FA Cup final and Mason believes he will be keen to end Arsenal's Europa League run.
"They probably would have been glad to see the back of him," said Mason. "He' s a top striker and he's one of those where as a defender you come off the game knowing you've been in a battle with him because he puts himself about, he works hard for the team and he can score goals.
"He's gradually getting his fitness back and he looks like he's getting fitter. It's the business end of the season, he's not played a lot of games this year and I'm sure he'll be relishing the opportunity to potentially score against Arsenal again."

Key points to note in CSKA Moscow Vs Arsenal second leg game. Gunners confident to skim to Semi-finals.

All   guns   to   Russia.....
The gunners will need to tie the Russians in order to put their name right forward the semi-final.

Arsenal looks forward to securing a place in semi-finals of the Europa League when they face CSKA Moscow in the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Thursday.


The job looks to be easy for the gunners as they have a 3 goal advantage after their first leg 4-1 win in London.

Arsenal has had a good run after winning 6 games in a row including3-2 win over Southampton three days after the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Arsenal’s strong performance in the first leg placed a huge lead.

Gunner’s fans will expect more of the same in Moscow.

They appear to have put their mid-season slump behind them, albeit much too late, but Wenger will be pleased with the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey, who got the goals last Thursday, while Danny Welbeck delivered a man-of-the-match display over the weekend against Southampton.


With the absence of Mkhitaryan, my squad will look like this;
 Ospina; Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Bellerin; Xhaka, Ramsey, Ozil; Lacazette, Welbeck.

Arsenal are in agreement to divorce Puma for 40 million Euro deal from Adidas each season.


Arsenal is close to an agreement with Adidas over a new kit deal. Will this be the end of puma?
According to the Daily Mail, Adidas is in advanced negotiations with Arsenal over a lucrative kit deal worth more than £40million per season.

Puma’s deal is nearly getting down.
The club's existing contract with Puma is due to expire at the end of next season and the Gunners have begun the process of finding a new agreement.

Arsenal's existing deal with Puma is worth £30m a season but Adidas have indicated they are willing to invest significantly more.

However, Puma, it is understood, have the option to match any offer made by a competitor while other sportswear firms have also shown an interest.

Any deal north of £40m a year would represent a sizeable upgrade from the Gunners' current deal.
Good news for the gunners.

And Aubameyang’s goal versus Southampton meant the striker has been directly involved in seven goals (six goals, one assist) in his opening seven matches. 

This is a good start for the Gabonese.

Keep it up Auba.

Arsenal Vs Southampton; Key things to note.

Arsenal form in the league has not also been so good they have 2 wins and 3 lose in the last 5 league games.
Mkhitaryan will be out due to a knee injury.
Southampton’s chances of securing wins have been negligible as they have not scored any goal in past 5 league matches.
