Pass The Parcel - Arsenal

Had some struggles getting the save hence the delay, got it shortly after midnight so going to run through my 6 months as quick as possible.

January

FA Cup 3rd​ Round

Nottingham Forest (Orlandi 24) 0-0 Arsenal (Gnabry 71, 81, Flamini 78)

Great turn around late on after bringing on subs, Flamini scored a phenomenal goal.

-------------------------------------------

Capital One Cup Semi Final First Leg

Swansea (Bony 5, Subotic OG 22) 2-0 Arsenal

Disappointing result, hopefully I can turn it around in the second leg. Still trying to get my tactics working with the team.

-------------------------------------------

Arsenal (Podolski 74, 90+3) 2-1 Stoke (Guidetti 57)

Good turn around, not a great performance but we?re getting there!

-------------------------------------------

Arsenal (Podolski 13, Arteta 28, Cazorla 47) 3-1 Aston Villa (Benteke 76)

That?s more like it, well earned win! Unfortunately Chamerlain is out with a torn calf muscle!

-------------------------------------------

Capital One Cup Semi Final 2nd​ Leg

Arsenal (Cazorla 13, 20, 35, 45+2, 58) 5(5)-0(2) Swansea

Phenomenal turn around, unbelievable performance by Cazorla from AML. Into the Final we go! We?ll play Blackburn.

-------------------------------------------

FA Cup 4th​ Round

Everton (Mirallas 75, Lukaku 78) 0-0 Arsenal (Gnabry 30)

Disappointed to have lost it late on, but hopefully we can advance in other competitions.

-------------------------------------------

Liverpool (Henderson 5, Gerrard pen27, Coutinho 49) 3-2 Arsenal (Koscielny 7, Podolski 43)

-------------------------------------------

Nicklas Bentdner has signed a contract to join Atletico Madrid over the summer.

Still top of the table, hopefully we can stay there all season!
​
 
disappointed to see us crash out of the FA Cup, but it's good that we're still in 1st place.

any transfers in, mate?
 
No transfers in, was looking at a couple of players who had expiring contracts but no one really worth it!
 
February

Southampton (Coleman OG 57) 1-1 Arsenal (Walcott 53)

The single point is made worse by how we conceded.

-------------------------------------------

Chelsea (Hernandez 23, Torres 65, 83) 3-0 Arsenal

We didn't play entirely bad but they were just better at finishing!

-------------------------------------------

Arsenal 0-0 Man City

Good performance here, we were unlucky not to get the win as we dominated the shots.

-------------------------------------------

Champions League First Knockout Round 1st Leg

Lyon (Gibbs OG 34, Gomis pen88) 2-1 ****nal (Bisevac OG 62)

Disappointing again. The away goal could be crucial, however the penalty was a controversial decision, I called it abysmal in the press conference and got no action against me which proves it.

-------------------------------------------

Arsenal (Flamini SO, Giroud 58, Wilshere 81) 2-3 Newcaste United (Anita 31, Obertan 39, Mertesacker OG 64)

Another bad result! Team is on a downer, another bad decision against us in the Flamini sending off, struggling to figure out what's wrong!

-------------------------------------------

Hull (Jelavic 21) 1-1 Arsenal (Podolski 40)

Argh! Awful month, going to have to try and sort out tactics next month.

Awful month, but hopefully the team meeting at the end of the month can turn us around.

March

Capital One Cup Final

Arsenal (Cazorla 2 (17,30) Koscielny 52) 3-0 Blackburn Rovers

We did it! Great win for us as we win our first trophy in a dominant performance.

-----------------------------------------

Arsenal (Ozil 29) 1-0 West Ham

Not an amazing performance, but a win never the less!

-----------------------------------------

Champions League First Knockout Round 2nd Leg

Arsenal (Giroud 1, Walcott 49, Koscielny 74) 3(4)-1(3) Lyon (Malbranque 51)

Into the Quarter Finals we go! We will play Marseille.

-----------------------------------------

Cardiff (Fabio pen64, Whittingham 90+2) 2-3 Arsenal (Arteta 13, Podolski 2 (38,66) )

Good win here, wasn't as close as it looked, we dominated apart from the two attacks that got goals.

-----------------------------------------

Arsenal (Podolski 3 (20,63,70) Walcott 46) 4-1 West Brom (McAuley 65)

Dominating win as we show what we are truly capable of!

-----------------------------------------

Everton (Barry 29, Lukaku 75) 2-3 Arsenal (Podolski 15, Coleman 70, Koscielny 79)

Good performance here in a tough game, the 3 points greatly benefits us.

We lost points part way through the month but we have now regained those points and with United still to play we are in with a chance of the title!

​
 
April

Champions League Quarter Final 1st Leg

Arsenal 0-1 Marseille (Gignac 49)

Not what we wanted, but hopefully we can make a comeback in the 2nd leg again.

-----------------------------------------

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

Game was fairly balanced in possession, however we dominated the shots having 11 to their 3, although we only managed 3 on target.

-----------------------------------------

Champions League Quarter Final 2nd Leg

Marseille (Gignac 2 (20, 36) 2(3)-2(2) Arsenal (Wilshere 2 (15, 73)

Wilshere scored a phenomenal strike early on. Unfortunately we couldn't get a late goal to send us through on away goals.

-----------------------------------------

Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal (Walcott 59)

Great result! We go top of the table with this win (on goal difference), with the games remaining looking winnable!

-----------------------------------------

Arsenal (Koscielny 47, Walcott 57) 1-1 Fulham (Mirtroglu 48)

Not a great performance but we got the win. The sign of Champions? United lost as well which puts us 3 points in front!

-----------------------------------------

Sunderland (Fletcher 3, Borini 40) 2-3 Arsenal (Giroud 2 (5, 25) Walcott 90)

This result is great for us, I was shocked to struggle as much as we did but Walcott's late goal could be key in us winning the title.

We took a big step towards the title this month, especially with the win over United. We are just 4 points from winning the league!


I also signed a new deal for us that runs until June 2017.​
 
May

Arsenal (Giroud 63) 1-1 Norwich (Hooper 9)

Disappointing result, should've won this!

-----------------------------------------

After our Norwich game, Manchester United traveled to Newcastle on the Monday Night, only to lose which means...

ARSENAL ARE THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

-----------------------------------------
Swansea (Vazquez 3 (18,23,56)) 3-0 Arsenal

Bad result to the end of the season, but we won the league, and I played a younger team.

-----------------------------------------

So we have it! Champions of England, along with Capital One Cup Champions!

We also won Manager Of The Year! Sczezney, Koscielny and Ozil were in the team of the year.

This will be my last action before handing the save over for ContinentalReputation to continue.​

I've got the save and a ?53 million budget. Don't need to make many signings because the squad is sound, congratulations to wr1097 for laying the foundations and Andrewpage14 for finishing the job in the first season. I'll do my best to continue the resurgence Arsenal are on.

My one concern squad-wise was due to a couple of injuries, CM was very light, at one point I didn't have anyone as back up.

what about the youth intake? any news on that?

I forgot mention that in my March post, we had a couple of decent players, and one that looks outstanding, striker, can't remember his name though. He had 5 star potential.
 
Continental Reputation's 6 Months

NOTABLE OUTS:
Thomas Vermaelen to Napoli for 3 million
This move I regret, I fell out with Thomas and tried to get rid of him at any cost.
Francis Coquelin to Toulouse for 4 million
A 30 percent sell on fee will bring in extra cash, Coquelin wasn't part of my plans.
Park Chu-Young to Augsburg for 1 million
After 19 in 39 for Watford, Park moves to Augsburg to revive his career
Abou Diaby to NAC Breda for 2.5 million
Too injury prone

After an utterly dreadful start with players worried, we turned it around and end 2013 in third place, a point off Chelsea.

My six months are done, don't know if I will do another 6 later.

​
 
Some good signings, but unlucky with the GD.

Season 2

January - June 2015

Transfers

In

Only one player was brought in - will be joining in June
View attachment 389922

I tried to sign a promising Argentinian defender but his application for a work permit was turned down.

Out

Only a couple of youngsters loaned out

Premier League

View attachment 389921

We lost a couple of very important games and played horribly against Newcastle and Southampton - but we defended the title!

View attachment 389920

One of the closest ever finishes in the Prem! Giroud endured a bit of a dry spell in April - otherwise we might have had it easier.

Capital One Cup

View attachment 389919

Comprehensive victories all around as we successfully defended the cup once more.

FA Cup

View attachment 389918

Nervy final against Liverpool - we won 11-10 on penalties, can you believe it? Couldn't bear to watch it...


Champions League

View attachment 389917

This makes me proud!
We had a tough time in the return leg against Barcelona - we were leading 3-1 and then Neymar put them ahead on away goals late on - but Koscielny our saviour with a stoppage time goal - the rest is history.

Youth Intake

View attachment 389916

Just the one promising player from the intake - looks like he could challenge for a first-team spot with the right training (20 determination - f*ck yeah!)

Key Player

View attachment 389915

Phenomenal season for Ozil - I don't know why he's rarely called up to the German squad.

Retirements

Rosicky decided to call it a day after limited playing time.
