Arsenals 2014 Review: Top 10 pictures of the year

It's been an exciting year at Arsenal and our club photographers have been with the squad every step of the way.

As 2014 draws to a close they've chosen their most memorable pictures from the past 12 months. Scroll down this page for the images with comments from Stuart MacFarlane and David Price.

1. Emirates Stadium, pre-Bayern Munich

Stuart says: "This amazing view of the Emirates was shot on a remote camera I fixed to the roof of the stadium before the match. The fans holding red-and-white cards really makes the picture."

2. Rambo's Wembley winner

Aaron Ramsey celebrates his winner

David says: "I was very pleased to capture this moment, you could see how much it meant to Aaron and Kieran - and of course it was huge moment for Arsenal. It felt like I’d captured an image that will be used in many years to come as part of the club's history. Hopefully in 20 years' time, when someone is asked to pick a picture from the 2014 FA Cup final, they will go for this one much in the same way that I pick the same picture of Alan Sunderland's celebration from 1979 or Charlie George from 1971.”
3. Poldi celebrates with the fans tuart says: "A brilliant moment from the FA Cup final celebrations. Lukas told me to follow him and we both jumped over the advertising boards and into the Arsenal end, and the supporters loved it!"

4. Rambo jumps for joy

Stuart says: "I love this picture, it show how much winning and losing an FA Cup final means. Ramsey’s expression, the Hull players' despair and Sagna’s reaction are brilliant."

5. Victory parade celebrations

David says: "I was lucky enough to cover the 2004 trophy parade and I would have previously said that was my highlight of my time working at Arsenal. Now I would say this parade topped that. The sheer number of people was amazing. To capture this picture we arranged to get on a resident's balcony overlooking Armoury Square. Once the team arrived at Islington Town Hall I rushed back to get in position. You can see how many people were waiting at the stadium for the team to show off the trophy. That it was a lovely sunny day just added to the occasion, and the fact that the guys in the flat gave me a glass of champagne was the icing on the cake!”

6. Alexis sets himself

Stuart says: "As soon as I took this picture I knew it would be one of my favourites, the composition works really well and I feel it shows what a stunning stadium we play in."

7. Alexis's stunner against Man City

David says: "I love this picture. I guess like all of the fans I’d been waiting to see something really special from Alexis. Until this point we could see he was an amazing talent but once this volley flew in you knew he was the real deal. This image is captured on my remote camera that I place behind the goal for most matches. I put it a bit wider than I would normally do as Joe Hart has a habit of leaving his towel hanging in the goal net right in the middle of the goal. I just love the way Hart is at full stretch and that Alexis is just below his body, focused on the ball flying into the net.”

8. Alexis leads the celebrations

David says: "I love this shot. It’s just an explosion of emotion from Alexis. He tore his shirt off and headed straight for the fans. You could tell he really enjoyed that goal."

9. Welbeck hits his first hat-trick

David says: "I was very pleased when we signed Danny on transfer-deadline day and was looking forward to getting a shot like this of him. I didn’t have to wait long. Again I like this shot for the emotion that Danny is showing. The goal and celebration both reminded me of Thierry Henry in his prime.”

10. New Year's Day delight for Theo

Stuart says: "So many aspects to this picture get in my top five. Theo’s jump, the helpless Cardiff players and the rain and the blades of grass from Theo’s and David Marshall’s boots."
