In the Replay... Walcott doesnt even score, Chelsea get eliminated although I won 3-0. But I'd take a 9second goal with a 2-1 win over a 3-0 win with no records at all...

So annoying. Not only does FM crash every 5minutes, it seems Mozilla is crashing every 5minutes aswell.... Makes it really hard to do things....

good luck with this story mate.

 

[Skorpio678]

Thanks Mate. I'm currently updating the OP to make it look neater and not as clustered as it currently does.

January Review

​

Arsenal 3-0 Everton​

FA Cup Round 3​

The month started off with a delightful win against a strong team in the third round of the FA Cup. Arsenal won 3-0, and although the stats were pretty even in the end Arsenal had the better performances. Fortunately for Arsenal, Chelsea were also eliminated in a 1-0 loss against Aston Villa.

​

Manchester City 2-3 Arsenal​

Carling Cup Semi-Final, First Leg​

Next up was Manchester City in the Semi-Finals of the Carling Cup. Adebayor made a dominating impact and after awhile a cracking Free-Kick from RVP came from 40 yards out. Then again at the latter stages of the game another one came from 20Yards out. Gignac was the man of the moment as Walcott assisted him on 90’+2 and it ended 3-2. Man City had the better team performance and dominated more of the match with the match facts.

​

Bolton 3–2 Arsenal​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal fans were devastated by the result. The Gunners had most of their Starting XI as their reserves and bench players. That certainly didn’t help things and in the end it was Arsenal that payed. Bolton were by far the better side. Match facts, team ratings and the scorers. Unfortunately for Arsenal this was a match they could have gained 3 points from and fired up into 2nd as there were a few shock results.

​

Arsenal 2–2 Manchester United​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal had over a weeks rest between the embarrassing Bolton loss and the unfortunate Manchester United loss. Carrick put United into the lead early on after Almunia came off his line with a 30 yards screamer while RVP later put a ball over everyone’s head to Arshavin who put it in the net. The defence then pushed up too far and Fletcher put an easy ball along the ground from the wing to Rooney. Soon after Robin van Persie put a ball on the ground through O’Shea and Arshavin casually finished it into the net. Walcott should have, could have and probably should have got Arsenal’s third goal but he appeared to have “transfer” written all over himself. Here are the scorers, team ratings and match stats.

​

Arsenal 2–1 Manchester City​

Carling Cup Semi-Final, Second Leg​

(5-3 Aggregate Score)​

The 3 Away goals looked to help Arsenal in the Semi-Final. An early penalty was saved by Almunia after Barry was taken down by Gallas in the box. Despite looking complacent and playing without confidence for the whole first half, Walcott was in the right place at the right time as Given parried it out and Walcott tapped it into the open goal. RVP then struck the Free-Kick beautifully to put it into the bottom corner past Given. Shay Given certainly deserved Man of the Match, making plenty of key saves. Here were the scorers, team ratings and the match stats. After a 1-1 Draw Liverpool then went on to beat Tottenham 5-2 on Aggregate into the finals. Hopefully Arsenal can do a 1987 and lift the Carling Cup Trophy against Liverpool again.

​

Ipswich 1–2 Arsenal​

FA Cup, Fourth Round​

Arsenal played a strange formation, a 3-1-2-1-2 (narrow) and soon went down but soon made a good comeback to win it and advance to the next round. Here are the scorers, match stats and the team performances.

​

Everton 3-0 Arsenal​

Barclays Premier League​

Everton dominated the whole match and in the end Arsenal just couldn’t pull off anything, which would have drastically hurt their ladder position if Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool hadn’t have drawn. Despite RVP hitting the crossbar twice from free-kicks and the post once from a shot, it just wasn’t enough. Here are the scorers, match stats and the team performances.

​

Arsenal 0-0 Wigan​

Barclays Premier League​

Wigan played a 5-3-2 and were set to be defensive. Arsenal played a bench side to rest their players for the upcoming Chelsea match, but fans are stating it was the wrong decision as the match is 6 days away. Many people think Tristan should focus on the title and not worry about keeping everyone happy. Here are the match stats and team performances.​

Transfer News​

Arsenal Manager, Tristan Eaves, has been foiled in his attempts to sign a young and talented Keeper. Two top targets of his have signed new 4 year deals (Aguero and Lloris) which will be a set-back for Mr. Eaves.​

It appears Tristan was also annoyed that another target of his, Stevan Jovetic will see himself at the City of Manchester after having a bid accepted. With an Initial fee of 3.8Million, with 15Million over 24months, 3.2Million after each league appearance for 10 appearances and 275k upon scoring 40goals. With 15% of his next sale fee being owed to Fiorentina.​

Joao Pereira has gone onto loan at Rotherham for 3 months. Angel Di Maria has also gone to AC Milan while Chelsea will not sell transfer listed Salamon Kalou to a League Rival. After enquiries from Barcelona were rejected about Walcott, Theo was on the move for a bigger club but Eaves told him Arsenal would achieve success and not to worry about that. Walcott dismissed Eaves’ comments and said he wants to move.​

Meanwhile Arsenal tried to sign two new youngsters that were recommended by Arsenal’s head scout, Steve Rowley. However a predicted good premier midfielder had a work permit turned down and a leading coca-cola attacking midfielder decided to stay at Shamrock Rovers.​

Barcelona also came in with an offer for Andre-Pierre Gignac. It appears they are trying to steal Arsenal’s players.​

Meanwhile Armand Traore has been transferred to Sunderland for an initial fee of 3.7Million with 50% of his next sale being owed to Arsenal.​

Lee Hodson has extended his loan with Colchester for another 3Months.​

Meanwhile a fee of 7.5Million Pounds will see Carlos Kameni at the Emirates on a 5 Year Deal.​

Vito Mannone has been loaned to CSKA Moscow until the end of the season for 250k.​

Exeter have extended Emmanuel Frimpong’s loan for another 3Months.​

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas’ loan with Brighton has been extended another 3Months.​

Nacer Barazite enjoyed a good run with Derby and will be spending another 3Months there.​

Injury News​

After the Second Leg, Semi-Final in the Carling Cup against Manchester City, Sagna will be injured for approximately 2-3 weeks with the Physios help.​

Abou Diaby is out for approximately 2-3 Weeks with the Physios help.​

Managers View​

It was an ok month for me. A bad loss to Bolton, a crazy loss to Everton and an unfortunate draw to Manchester United. I’m pleased to be onto the final against Liverpool. However it appears we are losing our hold in the premier league and dropping off-form. Hopefully we can pick it up in February.​

Player of the Month​

It was tough to choose from both Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin. They both performed outstandingly but in the end I’m awarding it to Andrey Arshavin.


Overall
Wins - 4
Draws - 2
Losses - 2​

Please dont moan about having no comments or followers.

The stories section has been ruined by members who have started multiple stories and then abandoned them within the first season. Due to this, a lot of members have given up looking here as its not worth the hassle. Theres a very small handful of regularly updated, successful stories with followers, it will take a little while for yours to prove itself and gain a following, but persevere and it will shine through.

Look here for an idea of what you are up against.

February Review

​

Arsenal 1–0 Chelsea​

Barclays Premier League​

It was certainly close for Arsenal and many times they would have been beaten by the away side. But in the end a cracking free-kick came from Robin at 45+5. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Birmingham 0-3 Arsenal​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal got the game going after a slow first half when Robin van Persie was awarded a penalty and easily put it into the net. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Wigan 0–3 Arsenal​

FA Cup Fifth Round​

Arsenal had another dominating win, this time in the FA Cup Fifth Round. Fabregas got Arsenal off to a great start and then Robin van Persie soon ended Wigan’s hopes of advancing and by Half-time Tristan Eaves just told Arsenal to take a breather and not to overwork themselves. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Real Madrid 1–0 Arsenal​

UEFA Champions League, First Round Knockout Stage, First Leg​

Tristan Eaves and all the Arsenal fans were not amused, expected to reach the Quarter Finals and in the very first knockout stage are awarded with the team that have won it the most teams in the tournaments history. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Arsenal 3–0 Portsmouth​

Barclays Premier League​

Once again Arsenal played their bench players, however this time Tristan Eaves had good reason to. With all his players fatigued from the recent Real Madrid loss. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Wolverhampton 1–1 Arsenal​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal went in with a full squad in hopes of gaining some points, hoping that the 4 day rest would be enough to save the players for the highly anticipated Carling Cup Final. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough and despite a Star Performance from Carlos Kameni the Gunners just couldn’t keep the lead. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Arsenal 3–2 Liverpool​

Carling Cup Final​

It was a close match for most of the game and Arsenal was lucky to come out on top in the end. It took extra time but Arsenal finally won their first piece of silverware since 2005. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.​

Injury News​

Sol Campbell has picked up a Groin Strain and will be out for 2-3 Weeks.​

England News​

The groups were drawn for the UEFA European Football Championship Qualifiers.​

Managers Review​

It was certainly a good month for us. A win against Chelsea in the Premier League, along with Birmingham and Portsmouth, although an unfortunate draw with Wolverhampton. A great win against Liverpool which has secured us some well-deserved silverware. We have also advanced to the Sixth Round of the FA Cup where we face Portsmouth. Although it was unfortunate to lose in the first leg in the Champions League to Real Madrid, even more unfortunate that it was away, and the draw with Wolves wasn’t in our favour.​

Player of Month​

This certainly wasn’t as tough as January to pick. The award goes hands-down to Robin van Persie. 5 Goals and 3 Assists in just 6 Matches is a great feat and he was constantly helping the team out and putting on good performances.​

Overall​

5 Wins​

1 Draw​

1 Loss​

March Review

​

Arsenal​

​

Portsmouth 0–3 Arsenal​

FA Cup Sixth Round​

It took three quarters of the match but when the first goal hit Arsenal were on a role and everyone was full of confidence. Here are the scorers + stats and the team performances.

​

Arsenal 3–2 Real Madrid​

3-3 Aggregate​

UEFA Champions League, First Knockout Round, Second Leg​

Alonso played a dirty tackle first off and Injured Robin van Persie just three minutes in while escaping a booking. Arsenal’s hopes looked diminished with no away goal in the first leg, 1 goal down on aggregate and their star striker injured with a substitute wasted. Arsenal was certainly the better side, getting many chances and having 3 goals disallowed. Arsenal did so well on the come-back and losing out on Away goals was a horrible way to end their Champions League run this year. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Arsenal 3–0 Stoke​

Barclays Premier League​

As the season is drawing to its end, Arsenal remains close contenders for 2nd place while it seems United have almost secured the title. Arsenal once again had a close battle but the first goal came and the whole team were filled with the urge to score more. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Burnley 0–1 Arsenal​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal lined up with their bench players once more and came out with a narrow win. Arsenal is closing in on the title thanks to Manchester City beating Manchester United and Chelsea drawing 0-0 with Stoke. Giving Arsenal 7 matches to go while 2 points ahead of Chelsea and 5 behind United. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.

​

Arsenal 4–1 Blackburn​

Barclays Premier League​

Arsenal went in with a fit and ready full-squad in hopes to gain some goals and increase their goal difference for the league. Arsenal dominated the match and was unfortunate not to score more, or even to keep a clean-sheet. Thanks to a last minute goal by Liverpool, Arsenal is edging closer to the title. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.​

Injury News​

Carlos Vela is out for 2-3 Weeks with a Groin Strain.

​

Club News​

Arsenal fans celebrate as the Under-18s squad of Arsenal beat Port Vale in a great encounter to win the U18s Cup. Here are the scorers + stats and team performances.​

Arsenal announces Middlesbrough as their new Feeder Club. It was a tough decision with Watford and Queens Park Rangers also contesting to get Arsenal as their parent club.

​

Player of Month​

Tristan Eaves announced Francesc Fabregas as his player of the month with Theo Walcott coming in a close second. Eaves said that Fabregas put in 5 assists during that 1 month while Theo Walcott managed a high amount of goals aswell.​

Managers View​

Tristan Eaves said it was a good month, over-taking Chelsea to be placed second with 2 points between them and catching up to title leaders, Manchester United, going from 10points away from them to 2points away from them. It seemed Mr. Eaves was quite disappointed with the way that they were eliminated from the Champions League during the first knockout stage. 1 goal would have been the difference and the come-back wasn’t enough to let them advance due to away goals.​

Arsenal Overall​

5 Wins​

0 Draws​

0 Losses​

England​

England 3–0 Egypt​

International Friendly​

England had a walk in the park against Egypt and it didn’t take very much as they came to an easy 3-0 win against Egypt. Here are the scorers + stats and the team performances.​

[Joss]

Great story mate - been following for a while now, just 6 games to go, and a 3 point swing to achieve and hold onto to win the PL, what are your final fixtures? I'm distraught at Fab's form - he can be immense on FM if played right... on the other hand, Walcott scoring for fun. Good luck for future success mate. Still following.

 

[Skorpio678]

Unfortunately, still left are Tottenham and Manchester City, both Away.
Then Liverpool and Fulham at The Emirates.
Aston Villa at Villa Park and finally Sunderland at the Emirates
Semi-Final of the FA Cup is against Burnley while Tottenham face Watford. So it's a guaranteed derby match for the finals lol.
Yea its bad about Fabregas. Some games he does wonders and others he is just meh. He did win player of the month in March though after some great performances. Atleast he has a lot of assists to his name. Yea, Walcott is performing phenomenally. Although he could have been doing much better if it weren't for ****** Guardiola lol.
