Olivier Giroud: Wenger hails unsung striker’s half-ton after “fantastic” week

Arsenal face second placed Manchester City next Monday with the chance to be top at Christmas after Petr Cech also equalled David James’ clean sheet record with his 169th shut out in the Premier League at Villa Park.

Olivier Giroud’s penalty and Aaron Ramsey’s tap in moved them to the summit, a point ahead of Manchester City and Leicester, following a 2-0 win.

Colts’ Andrew Luck: Colts hope can return against Houston
It was Bortles’ 10th touchdown pass in three weeks, the most ever by a Jaguars quarterback ever during a three-game stretch. When you win, everything’s all right. “I feel like we can do this every week if we want to”. “We do too much stupid stuff”.

“We did a great job in the Champions League and we really wanted to finish the week with a win to be top of league before Leicester’s game against Chelsea”. We were a bit lucky in one or two occasions, some crosses from Villa and in the last 20 minutes we missed always that opportunity to score the third goal. “We are struggling, I still haven’t won a game and I’m very frustrated but I know in football you can change things with work”.

He said six passengers were being questioned in relation to it, including the man who raised the alarm. Lucchini echoed the head of Air France’s sentiments about the collective cool of the flight crew.

Giroud, whose hat-trick secured a vital Champions League win over Olympiacos in midweek, continued his fine form by sending Brad Guzan the wrong way with the penalty in just the 8th minute.

Little wonder Wenger described the player as being “at the top of his game” as he lavished more praise on him afterwards.

Fans will agree with me that the FA Cup should be the least target this season and more priority should be given to the premier league title and if possible sign Real Madrid versatile midfielder Isco who is very good in finishing his chances and other key players to have a real shot in winning the Champions league. He may not have electric pace and he likes to play with his back to goal, so maybe he isn’t a spectacular individual. “Sometimes, he’s frustrated that he doesn’t get the same balls back but he’s a very important link in our game”, he said. He is also mentally very strong.

The in-form France worldwide has now found the back of the net 11 times in the last 13 matches to spearhead Arsenal’s push for honours on the domestic and European fronts. There’s a strength and togetherness coming out of the team that people feel and that’s the biggest satisfaction.

“Overall, it was a controlled performance and a great week for us”.

The effectiveness of this unorthodox midfield configuration is attested to by the fact that Arsenal won 11 and drew three of the 16 Premier League fixtures which followed the City result and thumped Aston Villa 4-0 to retain the FA Cup in May. “We were all in the game, we were all concentrated to get this one point at the end and it felt like three”.

“We still believe we are capable of being safe”. I enjoy working in this league. “They are all in the same situation as I am, and we try to find the best solution”.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the Wales worldwide features far more in Arsenal’s build-up play when they are not around”.
