We’re not there yet! The problems Arsenal could face on the way to the Champions League Group Stages

Guest Writer — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:53:51 +0000

You Guest It So we made it, Champions League, here we come, 16th year in a row! But hold off humming the anthem for now, there's still the small matter of the playoffs to get through. You would think we don't have anything to worry about, given our decent record when it comes to playoffs. Of the past 15 years we made it into the Champions League, we had to face playoffs five times (Udinese in 2011/2012, Celtic in 2009/10, Twente in 2008/09, Sparta Prague in 2007/08, Dinamo Zagreb in 2006/07) and if memory serves me right, we negotiated all of them with relative ease to get into the Champions League proper.

Where are they now? The search for former Gunners: Week Three – Christopher Wreh

Matt Cotton — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:13:17 +0000

Where Are They Now? So here we are in the third week since the revamping of the website, and what a good few weeks it has been. Thank you once again to everyone who has visited us, followed us on Twitter, liked the Facebook page and left us feedback, please continue to do so. As for this column, in the opening two posts we have seen quite a contrast in forgotten Gooners’ time at Arsenal. Firstly we had Kevin Campbell, who succeeded in the Gunners youth setup before enjoying a successful Premier League career at a whole host of clubs. And then last week we rediscovered the tenure of Junichi Inamoto at Highbury and just what on earth went right and wrong for the league’s debuting Japanese player.
