This will take you back to the up and downs of the season that just passed. After watching, please share your favourite moments from the 2012/13 campaign with us.

The look of the fixture list is one of the most decisive secrets of a season.

Somehow, it is overlooked at the expense of other off-field factors like squad issues and injuries, but which opponents you have and when you face them during a campaign often has a lot to do with the target you have set for May.

Get a kind list of first ten fixtures and you may make a steady and confident start to go on and challenge for glory, but get the big games at the wrong period of the year and your hopes may be dealt a big blow.

Sure, the cliche that there are no ‘easy’ fixtures in the Premier League cannot be taken too lightly and in truth, any opponent can be a banana skin in the course of a season, but no one will prefer back-to back meetings with Manchester United and Chelsea in the midst of a poor run of form.

When Wenger’s men will be facing certain teams will be vital to what the new campaign has to offer, and that is why the announcement of the Premier League fixtures for the 2013/14 campaign on Wednesday will be some news to check out.

On Wednesday, Arsenal will find out several factors from when derbies will unfold to whether they will finish the season at the Emirates stadium for the first time in four years.

Arsenal may be forced to end their pursuit of Ashley Williams unless they improve their approach for the player.

Despite claims by tabloids at the end of last month that the Gunners were on the verge of agreeing terms for the transfer of the player, Swansea  City’s centre back is now set to remain with the Welsh club after a breakdown in negotiations to sell him.

Williams’ representatives were reportedly contacted by Arsenal recently for the first time since the Gunners last failed in their attempt to lure the defender to London during the January transfer window.

But even though the 28-year-old has made it clear that he would prefer a switch to the Emirates stadium, Swansea City football club have now declined an £8.3 million proposal from Arsenal.

The Swans have also made it clear that they will only consider a bid above £10 million while manager Michael Laudrup has reiterated that Ashley Williams is happy at the club.

Speaking before his summer holidays recently, Williams was coy over his own future.

“I play my football for Swansea City and now I’m just going away and looking forward to a holiday,” Williams said

“I’ve said before, I’ll take it (Arsenal rumours) as a compliment, it means you’re doing your job well. I’ve done that this time, I haven’t looked too far into it.”

Arsenal will now have to plot a better bid for the defender if he is ever to be given up by Swansea, but the Gunners may not be the front-runners to secure the services of Williams anymore after new Everton manager Roberto Martinez was linked with a move for Williams, whom he signed from Stockport five years ago when he was in charge of the Welsh side.

His future at Arsenal may remain in doubt but Andre Santos is having no worries at the moment.

Indeed, the Brazilian is doing his best to relieve much of the stress which came through criticisms over his abysmal performances during the 2012/13 season.

The 30-year-old held a big party on Tuesday night in his homeland to savour his short  summer vacation and the guests included several members of the Brazilian national team including close friend Anderson of Manchester United.

Santos, who has failed to impress most of the Arsenal faithful, did not help his chances with another sub-par effort in Brazil during his six-month loan move to Gremio where he missed a penalty-kick in a cup semi-final in April.

Gremio’s director of football Marcos Chitolina has already confirmed that Arsenal’s £5.9million signing from Fenerbahce will no longer remain with the club.

And with Santos set to move back to London in July, Arsenal are understood to have informed the defender’s representatives that they will be considering any offers for the Sao Paulo-born man.

Gonzalo Higuain is prepared to remain a Real Madrid player until the end of this month to take his time in deciding on where his new club will be.

The Argentine striker has been strongly linked with the Gunners this summer, while there has been an approach from Juventus who have chosen to be more direct in their pursuit of Higuain.

But contrary to rumours at the moment, the 26-year-old is on his way to neither club yet and indeed his brother and agent Nicolas Higuain has confirmed to Spanish source ‘Marca’ that the Madrid striker will be holding ‘agenda talks’ by the end of this month over which offered deals will be the best fit for Higuain’s future.

Despite reports that Arsenal had presented a staggering £19 million bid, Real Madrid confirmed last week that the club had not received any enquiry from the Gunners. But if Gooners were to get their wish and Higuain became an Arsenal player, here is what it would look like…

The ‘Wayne Rooney to Arsenal’ gossip once appeared wide of the mark, but recent developments are beginning to bring the want-away Manchester United striker ever closer to the Emirates stadium.

Take into consideration Ivan Gazidis’ admission that the Gunners are no longer a cash-strapped club along with this little incident on twitter and everything may start to make sense.

Exactly a week go, Wayne Rooney sent a tweet at Jack Wilshere over hoping to team up with the Arsenal midfielder. Now whether the United striker meant it to be with the England squad or not is unclear, even though he knows very well that Wilshere is currently out of action after ankle surgery.

But what makes this more interesting is the fact that Rooney decided to delete his tweet moments after publishing it.

You are free to make your judgements…

Indeed, in 2008, after Arsenal lost 2-1 at Old Trafford in a match which decided the title race of the 2007/08 season, here is what Fabregas did after Wayne Rooney traded shirts with him.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain just had a moment he will remember for a while.

Arsenal’s promising midfielder scored only his second ever goal for his country, but it was a massive one as it came at the Estádio do Maracanã where England and Brazil were involved in a pulsating 2-2 affair on Sunday.

The 19-year-old first attempted to exchange passes with Lampard but saw the ball return to him from Rooney, and without taking a second to think about it, ‘the Ox’ smashed a scorcher into the bottom corner of the net from right outside the penalty area. That strike leveled matters at 1-1 before a Rooney goal gave England a sniff at a famous victory, but that dream did not last for too long as Brazil found an equalizer in the dying minutes.

Here was Oxlade-Chamberlain’s strike though.

Swansea City’s skipper has been deemed as Arsenal’s number one target to strengthen their defensive options ahead of next season, but the questions remain over whether he is really good enough to represent the Gunners.

Michael Laudrup has already admitted that Ashley WIlliams may leave this summer, while Arsenal are reported to be preparing to make an enquiry for the 28-year-old who has not hidden the fact that he is open to an Emirates stadium switch.

But after considering his performances for Swansea during their two years in the Premier League and watching these brief highlights of the defender’s ability, would you really welcome him to Arsenal?

Theo Walcott, Mikel Arteta, Wojciech Szczesny and Lukas Podolski were the lucky boys selected to star in ‘Share a Smile’, an advertisement by Arsenal Football Club, produced by the club’s kit sponsors Emirates airline.

The ad sends out a positive message, but after watching, it is safe to say that the performers could have made that message a little clearer to understand.
