It has been revealed that Arsenal have been unbeaten for almost TWO YEARS when Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny have played together.
Per Mertesacker 21
The Daily Mailreported that Monday night’s victory at Aston Villa extended a remarkable run that has seen the Gunners undefeated in every league match in which Koscielny and Mertesacker have completed 90 minutes, since a 2-1 home defeat against Manchester United on January 22, 2012.
That period has included 28 games, 20 of which have resulted in victories.
Off the pitch, the pair are close. They speak regularly, in English, about how best to deal with their next opponents, hatching detailed plans on how to ensure their invincible streak continues.

Arsenal Focus - Wenger looking to add M’Vila to his midfield options

Image
By Bradley King Friday 24 August 2012 With Alex Song's departure to Barcelona confirmed, a place has opened up for a central midfielder in the Arsenal squad for the current season. An inventive individual looks to be top of Arsene Wenger's shopping list. Speaking after the Gunners' frustrating 0-0 stalemate with Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, Wenger told BBC Sport: "We played with good spirit but we lacked a bit of overall creativity and the few chances we created we couldn't take. Our balance wasn't completely right, and our passing wasn't quick enough but that will come." The Mackems sat extremely deep on Saturday and made it difficult for Arsenal to find gaps in their unyielding backline, despite the best efforts of Santi Cazorla who showed great promise on his full debut for the club. Parking of the proverbial bus is likely to be commonplace at the Emirates Stadium this season, which looks to have persuaded Wenger that a...

Jersey Number 12 to Willian at Arsenal as Gunners sign the Brazilian for Free

Image
Willian has a new shirt number which is 12 wore by the famous Olivier Giroud at Arsenal, after signing on a free transfer from Chelsea on Friday following the conclusion of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal confirmed Willian will take 12 for his shirt number next season, after completing his move to the club. Stephan Lichtsteiner was the most recent player to wear the number, with Olivier Giroud, Thierry Henry, Carlos Vela and Lauren as the other four in the last 20 years. Hopefully, Willian will perform significantly more impressively for Arsenal than Lichtsteiner did. The Gunners signed the right-back on an initial one-year deal with the option to extend for a further two, but they ended up giving up on him before the first year was even up. By contrast, Willian has a three-year deal with Arsenal, with no options to cut it short or extend it. That doesn’t rule out selling him before the three years are up, of course. Normally, I judge shirt numbers based positions. Three...
