Friday Round Up...
< Previous | May 16th 2013 |
Arsenal 4-1 Wigan...
In an epic encounter at The Emirates, the mighty Arsenal completed step one towards an unlikely top 4 finish. Finding ourselves 10 points behind Spurs just a few short weeks ago, we now have the chance to cement fourth with a win over Newcastle on the Sky Sports Super Soaraway Sunday show.
Nursing an FA Cup winning hangover, Wigan trailed 1-0 to a Lucas Podolski strike, before Mike Dean awarded a free kick 25 yards out just before half time. Wigan equalised to start Arsenal nerves jangling, but 3 goals in 8 second half minutes saw Wigan relegated and Arsenal within touching distance of that illusive Top Four trophy.
Sunday Team News...
Mikel Arteta has a 'minimal' chance of making the must-win game on Sunday, so Le Boss has said that Jack Wilshere is an 'option' despite the news the midfielder will need small ankle surgery at the end of the season. Olivier Giroud returns for the clash following his three match suspension and Wenger said: "I am happy to have him back, he missed some games and will be full of enthusiasm..."
Play Off Mooted...
If results go a certain way on SSSSS, we could end up on the same points/goals and goal difference as Chelsea, tied for third place.
The FA have confirmed there will be an end of season play off to decide who gets 3rd/4th spot, but Petr Cech, mushroom headed goalkeeper has said the play off 'wouldn't be fair'. The FA would need to confirm the placings before the 3rd of June meaning any games would need to be played by then, and with Chelsea on a tour of the States, and several international games, this may prove tricky.
Cech sobbed: "I don't really understand it. I know this is the rule, but we beat them twice over the course of the season – home and away, getting to a play-off, it would be really extraordinary but the rules are like that. Hopefully it won't happen..."
Emirates Cup Confirmed...
Napoli, Galatasary and FC Porto will make up the sides for this summer's Emirates Cup to be held at The Emirates in early August. There is controversy simmering after the crowd trouble which marred our 2001 UEFA Cup defeat in Copenhagen against the Turkish giants with many Arsenal fans unhappy with the choice.
However, on the flip side, this does mean the return of Emmanuel Eboue. Full details here: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/emirates-cup-returns-for-summer-2013?
Coq Off...
Francis Coquelin could be off to join German side Schalke in the summer if reports Eminem-inating from France are to be believed. The 22 year old has said he's not too happy about his lack of first team opportunities and is keen to move away from the Emirates...
