Video : Thierry King Henry Exclusive Interview on Arsenal

29th May 2013 by ArsenalSupremo



Arsenal legend Thierry Henry spoke to SkySports and insists that Arsenal should not settle for fourth place.

"Yes, they finished in the top four but there is only one champion - Man United. I'm a competitor so that's the only thing I will remember from the season - Man United won the league. You're going to have to do better than what United did this year.

"Chelsea I'm sure are thinking about the same thing right now, or Man City. Tottenham are going to think, 'how can we come back into the top four?' All the teams are going to be thinking, 'how can we win this title?'

Arsenal Legends Tony Adams & Robert Pires urge Arsenal to spend big on players.

28th May 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Tony Adams and Robert Pires spoke to Sky Sports after taking part in the Indesit Support your Hero event. They spoke about the fact that Arsenal must spend big and add experience to the squad to able to compete for the title next season Tony Adams said :

"Lately Arsenal have become very solid and (Laurent) Koscielny and (Per) Mertesacker have gained a confidence together, but defensively I think they are still short - I'd like to see them sign another centre-back, a couple of full-backs and possibly a keeper."

"The fans are desperate for a trophy of some sort," he added. "I would like the players to get used to winning; if you have never had that experience of crossing the line as a winner you don't know what it is like to be a winner. "Jack Wilshere is very important to the club, but you can't rush him. I think he has played more games than Arsene (Wenger) would have wanted him to play following his injury, but he's such an influential player for us."

Robert Pires added his verdict : "In my opinion I think Arsenal need to buy English players. "He (Wenger) has changed the philosophy at the club, he brought in young players like (Theo) Walcott, (Alex-Oxlade) Chamberlain and (Aaron) Ramsey, these players are very good for the future but now they need to buy some players with experience to give a good mix."

Arsenal reported target Stevan Jovetic could leave says Fiorentina coach

23rd May 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Arsenal reported target Stevan Jovetic says Vincenzo Montella who is the coach of Fiorentina, www.goal.com has revealed a while back that Arsenal are currently negotiating with with the club for the player.


"You know Jovetic is a player with great talent who could have different ambitions," Montella told Tuttosport. "So, I think, as president [Andrea] Della Valle said, there is the possibility of him leaving if we were paid properly. I'm aware of this."

The fact that Fiorentina failed to secure Champions League football as a result of a controversial Mario Balotelli penalty and a late Philippe Mexes strike saw them stage a late comeback against Siena, and seal third place. What this means is that they will struggle to keep hold of their star player as they won't be in the elite competition next season.

Arsenal Season Awards 2012-13 (Vote for the Best Player of the Season)

The season is over as of completing an unbelievable run of a 10-games unbeatable (8 wins) which was enough to keep us in the Top 4.  Let's highlight individual efforts and precious moments of a very challenging year for the Arsenal Team.



Match of the Season



This was the game that made Arsenal gain confidence. It proved to be a catalyst to an amazing  run in the Premiere League. Additionally, dropping out of the Team our captain Thomas Vermaelen and Wojciech Szczesny  due to their poor forms, proved to be one of the best decisions Wenger made this year.

Best Defender 




From a good defender last year he improved dramatically in 2013. In my opinion, right know, he is one of the strongest defenders in the world. His dedication, determination and bravery were significant. Through his career he had a lot of lows but right know he can simply make the difference. The partnership of Mertesacker and Koscienly is one of the most consistent ones. Wenger finally found the perfect combination in defense after experimenting for years.


Best Miedfielder
What can I say about this amazing player ? He is probably one of the best players Wenger managed to sign in recent years. His talent and his vision, which made an impact since the first game, are simply exceptional. One of the most exceptional players this season proved to be the most consistent one. He played overall 48 games, scored 12 goals (all of them in EPL), and provided 16 assists.

Best Forward 


Theo is becoming better and better and his record of goals this year comes of no surprise. He proved to be one of the most proactive players on the field this year and a true Gunner. His contract extension came as a very happy ending. After all of those players who left, he was one of the first ones to sign an extension to his contract. This addressed a change of policy from a feeder club to an ambitious one, which aims for glory.

Player of the Season 

Now for this part you are going to choose your favorite Player of the Season 2012-13

Ivan Gazidis insists Arsenal do not want to settle for 4th place

21st May 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Having seen the club finish in 4th place and seal their place in the Champions League Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis insists they are able to compete with best and are ready to win a trophy and not settle for just a 4th place finish.

"It is important to reiterate that for everyone at the club, qualification for the Champions League is not our ultimate ambition," he told the club's website.

"Our majority owner Mr Kroenke has made it clear that while it's an achievement to make the Champions League, our ultimate objective is to win the major trophies.

"We all share that clear ambition and will be driving the club forward to achieve it.

"Arsene and I have already been planning what we need to do to strengthen so we are better placed next season.

"One thing is certain - the club is in a very strong position to move forward and our form of losing just one of our last 16 Premier League matches shows that we have a solid foundation on which to build for success."

Newcastle 0 Arsenal 1 : Match Report, Reaction and Highlights

20th May 2013 By Jeff @ArsenalTrend & Gordon @Arsenal_Supremo
Arsenal will be in the Champions League for a 16th successive year after Laurent Koscielny's strike secured a priceless 1-0 win at Newcastle on Sunday. Arsene Wenger's team looked likely to miss out on a lucrative top four finish in the Premier League when they were seven points adrift of north London rivals Tottenham with only 10 games to play.But the Gunners' unblemished record of qualifying for Europe's elite club competition under Wenger was extended thanks to Koscielny's goal early in the second half at St James' Park.
ArsenalSupremo MOTM : Laurent Koscielny

Match Pictures

Arsenal Starting 11 : Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Cazorla, Walcott, Podolski
Newcastle: Harper, Debuchy, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Yanga-Mbiwa (Campbell 81), Ben Arfa, Cabaye (Anita 57), Tiote, Gutierrez, Gouffran (Marveaux 64), Cisse.
"I'm proud of the character and the spirit, especially with all we had to deal with during the season," Wenger told Sky Sports.

"The players are special. I've told them many times and they've shown it. In the last two months they have been absolutely exceptional.

"It's a good basis, as well, on a longer term to go into next season on such a strong run.

"I'm very proud. We were very far behind Tottenham and even after defeat there (at White Hart Lane) we've shown character and attitude to come back and make 73 points, which is three points better than last season.

"I have had many groups in my life and the focus and the desire to do well was always exceptional. It's one of the best groups I've had in my life on that front.

"I think it's been the toughest season in terms of workload because of the Europa League campaign, and the stress it had on the squad was also going to cause stress on myself and the staff," he said.

"We have just had too many key players missing. I think we've had seven different central-half partnerships this year, and when we finished fifth that hardly changed."

What are you thoughts on the game? Who was your MOTM? Do you think Arsene Wenger will keep his promise and spend some money on world class players? If he does I really expect Arsenal to make a serious challenge on the title if we can bring in some world class players and add to the players we already have.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Match Preview

18th May 2013 by Jeff @ArsenalTrend


Arsenal can secure Champions League qualification for the 16th consecutive season when they travel to play Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday. The Gunners (20-10-7) are currently fourth in the Premier League on 70 points, two behind third-place Chelsea and one ahead of Tottenham, who occupy fifth spot. Arsenal will take their place in Europe's elite club competition next term if they beat the Magpies. A draw and even a defeat on Tyneside would also be enough for Arsene Wenger's side if Spurs lose at home to Sunderland.

The Premier League have confirmed there will be a third-place play-off match at Villa Park on May 26 between Chelsea and Arsenal if the pair end the season with identical records. If Chelsea draw with Everton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Arsenal win by a one-goal margin at St James' Park, both teams would be level on points, goal difference and goals scored.

"We are in a position nobody expected us to be in," said Arsenal manager Wenger, whose side are unbeaten in nine Premier League matches. "We have our destiny in our hands, our fate in our hands and that's what you fight for in the game.

"It's a game that we now want to win but at least we fought back to be in a position where we are masters of our own fate. It shows that the job that the team has done is very good because they have improved throughout the season"

Newcastle (11-8-18) are in 13th place on 41 points and secured their top-flight future with a 2-1 victory at relegated Queens Park Rangers last weekend. Magpies boss Alan Pardew has insisted his comments made after the win at Loftus Road about not caring if Newcastle lose 4-0 to Arsenal on Sundaywere not to be taken seriously.

"I know people will have picked up on my comments about not caring about the result against Arsenal, which were, of course, a joke," Pardew told the club website. "It is definitely not the case that I would be happy for us to lose 4-0 against Arsenal on Sunday. I simply want our players and fans to be able to enjoy the game without looking over their shoulders.

"Even though we are now safe, we will be putting in the same effort that we would for any other Premier League game. We want to end the season on a positive, to finish in as high a position as possible and to give the fans something to cheer about on the final day of what has been a frustrating season. "

Newcastle will be without midfielder Moussa Sissoko, striker Shola Ameobi and defender Ryan Taylor, who all have knee injuries. Goalkeeper Rob Elliot serves a one-match ban after being given a red card at QPR. Arsenal playmaker Mikel Arteta is doubtful with a calf problem, while France striker Olivier Giroud is available for selection after completing a three-match ban.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 7-3 at the Emirates Stadium in late December. Theo Walcott bagged a hat trick, while Giroud scored twice and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski also scored for the Gunners. Demba Ba netted twice for the Magpies who also got a goal from Sylvain Marveaux. The match was tied 3-3 after 70 minutes before the Gunners netted four in the final 20 minutes.

Newcastle have won just once in their last 14 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions, a 1-0 win at the Emirates in November 2010.

Arsenal have historically struggled at St James' Park, winning just 20 of 81 all-time visits. The Magpies have 40 wins and the sides have drawn 21 times.

This will be the 172nd all-time meeting in what has been a close fixture. Arsenal have edged it with 67 wins to Newcastle's 66 with 38 draws.
“[The mood] has got to be one of excitement because we know that if we win, we're going to be playing in the Champions League or the Champions League qualifier at the beginning of next season,” he told Arsenal Player. “I think excitement first of all. When we get into the game, we'll see what happens. Maybe a bit of nerves will come into it.

“We watched Tottenham get the three points on Sunday and that wasn't ideal but then we picked ourselves up for the Wigan game and did what we needed to do.

“We did it in style as well. We scored a few goals and it's set up a really interesting last day. If we can play like that and take the game to them we know a win decides our destiny.
Four Arsenal players have scored 10 or more league goals this season, more than any other top-flight club - it's only the fourth time in the Premier League era that four players from one club have reached doubles figures.

If only the second half of games counted, Arsenal would already have been crowned Premier League champions.

Feature : Biggest Summer Ever

18th May 2013 By Lala @Lalawele_97

Hey guys I'm the new writer here! I am from Sweden and I've been supporting Arsenal since 2012. I was very happy to got the chance to write on this blog, i hope i will do a good job and make the readers satisfied would be gladly if you could give me response on my Twitter.

Today I will talk about Arsenal transfer targets if this is going be a good summer, where in the media it been circulated that Wenger have been given 70 million to spend. First of all if you wanna attract the best players you need to play  UCL  it's the best way to get  the best players is to play there cause every footballers dream is to play the UCL. Ask any young footballer today they want to play there  ,they want to be successful.  For me we are lacking at some positions  mostly i feel midfield is our main priority ,where we really  need a defensive midfield even though Ramsey been outstanding there fighting, winning balls, and start counter attacks , he should play there but i still believe we need a real DM,

I think a great DM would be Celtic's powerhouse Victor Wanyama. His strong good tackler and a classic DM very similar to Patrick Vieira. We have been heavly linked with Song the player we sold to Barcelona last season according to Rigobert Song who is one of Song,s relatives
is saying that he don't enjoy life in Spain. Song was a leader at Arsenal  last season he scored 1 goal and did 9 assists in the BPL.  Last season he  played winning goals and was one of our best players i wouldnt say no to him at  the moment we need a DM  i would like to see Wanyama, his young got talent and is a really good player , probably the best DM we could get at the moment. More for the interview of Song its here.
http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/17/alex-song-misses-arsenal-and-hates-life-at-barcelona-says-cousin-rigobert-3620572/. This the first part of a series and there will be a 2nd part which will contain about our defense. Cheers!
