Gunning for Glory

SEPTEMBER

PREMIER LEAGUE

Arsenal 6 - 0 Middlesborough
Van Persie (6, 12)
Yobo (45, 89)
Walcott (51)
Arshavin (72)

Great win against recently promoted Middlesborough. Think this is our highest scoring win since I took over and the new tactics seem to be getting the goals in as well as being solid at the back. Yobo is fantastic at scoring as well as being a rock at the back. 3 of the 4 attacking players got on the scoresheet which is great.

West Ham 1 - 1 Arsenal
Fabregas missed Pen (14)
Tosic (18)
Walcott (45)

Arsenal went behind early on but pulled one back just before the break. Everybody expected Arsenal to go on from here to win the game in the half but their constant pressure and many chances didn't get converted and the game finished all square.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUPSTAGE

Arsenal 3 - 1 Fiorentina
Arshavin (27)
Van Persie (34, 42)
Llajic (38)

Good win in the opening Champions League game of the season. Arsenal eased to victory after going 2-0 ahead, Fiorentina pulled one back which might have added a bit of tension but Van Persie quickly restored the 2 goal advantaged.

PREMIER LEAGUE

Arsenal 3 - 0 Stoke
Yobo (10)
Eduardo (19)
Ozil (62)

Comfortable home victory for Arsenal in a match they dominated from start to finish. Arsenal are dispatching of the weaker sides so easily at home and have yet to concede a goal at home in the Premier League. Ozil got his first goal for the club which was a boost for the youngster.

LEAGUE CUP 3RD ROUND

Arsenal 2 - 0 Portsmouth
Nasri (19)
Smithies O.G. (89)

Arsenal are through to the next round where they will meet Manchester City at Eastlands. A good performance here from the Arsenal second string. Will the manager keep with his philosophy of playing the second string in the Cup or will he be out to beat Man City at all costs?

PREMIER LEAGUE

Arsenal will today meet Liverpool in by far the toughest fixture they have faced so far this season. This is the first time Arsenal have met any of the traditional "Big 4" and will be looking to exert their dominance at an early stage.

Previous meetings between the 2 clubs sees Arsenal undefeated, with a 1-0 victory at home and a 2-2 draw away from home last season.

Arsenal 1 - 1 Liverpool
Gerrard (4)
Fabregas (71)

Arsenal went behind to a Stevie G wonder free-kick from 30 yards out. They fought back resiliently against the Scousers but to no avail for over an hour. Fabregas got the breakthrough for Arsenal with a lovely placed shot. Despite dominating the game til the final whistle, they couldn't make this count and had to settle for a point.

Despite Arsenals domination they were unable to take all 3 points.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUPSTAGE

Shakhtar 1 - 2 Arsenal
Henrique (11)
Palombo (14)
Yobo (90+4)

A headed goal from Yobo way into stoppage time sealed all 3 points for Arsenal in this titanic tussle of a European clash. Very exciting match for the neutral with both teams looking to attack.

Yeh with 3 attacking mids behind him he gets all the service he needs, and he takes quite a lot of the chances.

Yeh he is amazing from corners, set him to attack far post and he wins the header everytime!

Seems to be about 5 other Arsenal stories now, I hope everybody who was originally following will stick with this story and not lose interest due to the amount of other Arsenal stories :)
 
Looks great mate, Nice work ;) Had a read through and your doing really good :thumbs up:
 
There are lots of arsenal stories but yours is the best ive seen , so ill be sticking with it and with your team in that form i think you will win a few trophies again this year.
 
Yobo was a truly inspired signing, iwould never of thought of him.
 
Carry on, dont let me stop you :) But, maybe if you sign the same players as somebody in another story with the same team, readers just might think your copying and stop following it.

Update later today hopefully, exams are over and EPIC HANGOVER finally gone.
 
Playing a different game at the moment but might get back into it after that. Keep an eye out!
 
After getting bored of my other games I decided it was the right time to get Arsenal back up and running again! Updates will follow shortly.

PREMIER LEAGUE

Newcastle 1 - 2 Arsenal
Xisco (18)
van Persie (61,70)

Good performance and showed good character to come back from behind. Newcastle snatched a lead after Arsenal controlled the early parts of the game, and Arsenal had to fight back to win this game. Ozil and van Persie linked up fabulously as the AMC and ST and young Mezut laid on both the assists for the Dutch hitman.

After the match Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas praised his managers half time team talk. "Hopper's words at half time inspired the team to overturn the deficit and emerge victorious at the final whistle". Once again, Hopper is proving himself to be a top drawer manager and at such a young age.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Man City
Ozil (14)
Jovetic (19)
Santa Cruz (53)

Another good win for an Arsenal team that looks like they are going from strength to strength. Manchester City, a title rival for Arsenal's crown, were brushed aside with more ease than the scoreline suggests. The 2 new Arsenal youngsters gave them a positive 2-0 leading going into half time, but City fought back early in the 2nd half with a goal from Santa Cruz. Arsenal tightened up and tried to hit City on the counter, ultimately seeing out the game and collecting a crucial 3 points.

Blackburn 0 - 3 Arsenal
Walcott (41, 73)
Ozil (47)

Another good performance from Arsenal as they strolled past Blackburn in this fixture. It was an emotional return for Pires who come on as a second half subsitute for Blackburn against his former club. Pires appeared for Arsenal over 200 times in a 6 year spell with the club.

ARSENAL HIT THE BIG THREE ZERO
Arsenal's win against Blackburn today has meant they have reached a landmark in their unbeaten run in the Premier League. Arsenal hold the current Premier League record with 49 games, but this new generation at Arsenal look's like they could eclipse this record.
