A Change of Breath for Arsenal

2015-06-24 03:19#215303 Maximus94 : First time I've seen your story TalkingBurger and I'm really impressed by the quality of your updates and layout.

Great signings in Schneiderlin and Hummels too

Thank You!I signed Schneiderlin because it was realistic and he is homegrown..Hummels it was a lucky try, I just send in an offer and they replied with a realistic value.

BEEP !BEEP!
Arsenal have just lost their 2nd straight derby to Manchester united 4-2 at Old Trafford!The Gunners also lost their first derby against Chelsea 3-0 in the community Shield.
http://i60.tinypic.com/4r9dvr.png http://i62.tinypic.com/2gwxjsp.png

Man Utd played without winger's wich is a new thing in Louis Van Gaal's tactic, and altough that Arsenal's biggest threats came from the wings this season, Man Unite absoluted dominated them in midfield, leaving no space for Arsenal to use the wings. Players like Rafinha, Mata, Van Persie and Di Maria looked particulary class, while Özil and Gibbs looked like switched-off in this game.
As said earlier, United dominated Arsenal, the proof to that is the goal scored by Mata in the 4th minute.
20 minutes later Van Persie scored on of his 2 goals(the other was in the 83rd minute), the Dutch strike, who was linked to many clubs this summer to leave united, even celebrated!Even though this game had 6 goals, this was with no doubt the most marking point in the game. Walcott scored in the 41st minute.Everyone was hoping for Arsenal to draw the game in the 2nd half after the brilliant games they have been playing.. However it was exactly the opposite, 2 minutes after the second half began, Rooney scored! Wich to a very angry scream by Bould to his players..From what we heard the Arsenal manager said something like ''Who do you think you are?!Do you think you're playing for an amateur club?!Get your ass up and win this fu***** game!''.
The though talk seemed to work because Arsenal seemed more stable. In the 73rd minute Oxlade-Chamberlain scored for Arsenal to make it 3-2 and it looked like they were going to draw(AGAIN), the Arsenal fans were chanting ''And it's Arsenal''.. Untill the unimaginable occurred, VAN PERSIE SCORED HIS SECOND TO MAKE IT 4-2 AND GIVE MAN UTD THE WIN.
When he scored, you could only hear the Man Utd fans..Because the Arsenal fans were just devastated..The player who played for them for 8 seasons, just blowed them away.

After the game in the tunnel Bould replied to Van Persie's Celebration''It's like running over you parent's and run'' said the Arsenal Boss.

Unfortunate about the man united result but chin up, you'll do it in the end I reckon.

Unlucky against United, but that United tactic is out of control! (They look vulnerable down the flanks though!)

2015-06-25 19:29#215392 TheMS99 : Unfortunate about the man united result but chin up, you'll do it in the end I reckon.

They made some wonderful signings(as did we), but they really look like a better team than mine..But there's still a lot of games to play(34). And I believe we will try to challenge for the league title, and with a bit of luck, we might even lift the BPL!

2015-06-25 23:51#215403 Maximus94 : Unlucky against United, but that United tactic is out of control! (They look vulnerable down the flanks though!)

That's what I thought!But then Mata and Di Maria kept taking the ball of me and passing it to RVP and Rooney, it was really hard!Plus Rafinha was really good, would love to have him here! Has I said to TheMS99, I think we have a good chance to challenge to the title, and win it!

Arsenal didn't start September has they were hoping, losing 4-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, however, they managed to pull back, and get some good results..
4 days after the game at Old Trafford, Arsenal would face Paris Saint Germain at home.
http://i59.tinypic.com/2uzecs9.png http://i61.tinypic.com/33wb0qq.png
Arsenal would start with 5 different players from the match against United. If it was because the players were tired, ou simply because Bould didn't like the performance, we don't know, all we know is that it went well, Arsenal seemed like a different team. The Gunners were hand to hand against one of the best teams in Europe, and they definitely replied well.. The game was really 50/50. And that made the first half kind of boring, the game was stuck in the midfield, and everytime Arsenal had a chance, PSG had other..
15 minutes after the second half would begin, and it was certainly more entartaining.. If the first half was boring this was the opposite, you could see both teams wanted the 3 points.. But Arsenal seemed to want it more, wich is good, because in the 53rd minute Karen Gibbs scored his 1st of the season.
Regardless of how Arsenal were playing, you still need to remember that you are not playing agains a championship team.. Cavani made that certain scoring 14 minutes after Gibb's goal with an amazing free kick.
The game ended 1-1 and at the end, it could have gone to either team, despite that Arsenal was miles better in stats
http://i57.tinypic.com/2chrrm9.png

The third game of September was at home against Bournemouth, and it seemed like a easy fixture for the Gunners, but this is the premier league were talking about.
http://i58.tinypic.com/2mczrc3.png http://i61.tinypic.com/ztdqhf.png
Again,Arsenal was going to start with different players, but this time it was something drastic, there were 9 new players on the pitch! But this time we were certain that it was because of fitness, because for what other reason would Diaby be playing?
The Arsenal team was expecting an easy game, but Bournemouth made it really difficult for the Home team.. The first goal would come in the 28th minute.. It was Gabriel Paulista first goal!
16 minutes later the Poppies would equialize with a Tommy Elphick header!
But Arsenal wanted to show they can get the service done and 2 minutes later Danny Welbeck scored his first of the season.
''It was a really good first half by the 2 teams'', said a bournemouth fan.
The second half would begin..And 7 minutes after the reef started the 2nd half, Alexis Sanchez showed why he was a £30m transfer with an amazing outside of the box goal.
From that moment on Arsenal dominated the possession, making bournemouth look like a league 1 side.
What Arsenal wasn't counting on was that Bournemouth was going to change their strategy, because after Nick Powell stole the ball from Diaby, he passed it to O'Kane and O'Kane rocked it to the top left corner, Ospina had no chance.

Hi Guys!
I'm sorry I haven't posted since Sunday, but I was forced to send my laptop to an IT Guy..I asked him if he could recover my fm files and other stuff, but until then, I can't keep writing this story, hopefully he will fix untill the end of the week...
But, if he can't recover my fm files, I will post the last update giving a briefing of the season..I am really sorry, and to make up for you who read this, IF I get my laptop back with all the files, I will post 3/4 months in a week!
Until then wish me Luck, and go Gunners!

QPR 0-2 Arsenal
http://i62.tinypic.com/9kqcet.jpg
http://i60.tinypic.com/35iq9hw.png http://i59.tinypic.com/e7yp9d.png
Arsenal made just one change from their previous game against Bournemouth, taking off Wilshere and playing Scheneiderlin instead..Smart choice Bould.
Bould showed that he was not going to be like Wenger and lose against smaller teams in the cups..Bould used an eleven that is capable of winning even to some ''big'' teams..
The Gunners started the game like you would expect since the ''arrival'' of Steve Bould as manager..
Strong and Dominant in the beginning of the game.
They made so much pressure that with just 20 minutes on the clock Alexis Sanchez dribbled past 2 QPR defenders and sky rocket it to the top corner..
Arsenal kept dominating after that..Unfortunately for the fans that bought a ticket.. There was no second goal.
The second half would begin and after Chris Ramsey's team looked like a totally different team..They really looked like they wanted to win, unlike the first half when they looked like they wanted to go to penalties.. However, Arsenal did not became complacent(Weird isn't it?) and managed to keep the score 1-0 untill the 91st minute when Theo Walcott showed that he can be a number 9.

Arsenal 2-1 Southampton
http://i61.tinypic.com/2i20ufc.jpg
This was without doubt one of the most enjoyable games of this season!2 teams that go head-to-head..One one side a team that keeps suprising everyone year after year!And a team that keeps giving oppurtunities to youngster! On the other side a team that fights for 4th place every year and tries to win a cup every 9 years!
http://i60.tinypic.com/wu145h.png http://i59.tinypic.com/687kh0.png
Has always this season, Arsenal tried to start the game dominant and powerfull. The only but was that they were not playing against QPR or Bournemouth, they were playing against one of the best teams in the premier league, and certainly the best academy in England. It was one of those games were people were expecting a boring 0-0...But it was everything but that, it was a game full of emotions, the smart kids against the smart kids with money!
And the team who started better was the smart kids! On the 2nd minute Tadic striked a powerfull shot from the outside of the foot, no chance for Ospina.
However, Arsenal replied 12 minutes later with a goal from the one and only Alexis Sanchez. On his second season the Chilean scored his 3rd goal in 4 games! Will he score 25 again this season?!
From that moment on, both teams battled for the 3 points, the first 20 minutes of the game were magnificient and trully showed why the premier league is the most competitive league in Europe.
And after a lot of effort Arsenal scored the second of the game making it 2-1, the goal scorer was Oxlade-Chamberlain and he scored his 4h of the season against his old club.

The Winger is having a wonderfull season under Bould and is flourishing.

After that moment Arsenal made sure Southampton were going to leave the Emirates with 0 points, and they did!

Olympiacos 0-4 Arsenal
http://i60.tinypic.com/2jb1a94.jpg
It was certainly a must win for Arsenal after drawing at home agains PSG.
http://i57.tinypic.com/2co5s83.png http://i57.tinypic.com/2iieq2a.png
The Gunners were hoping to leave Greece with the tree points
The result speaks for itself, Arsenal looked like Barcelona or Real Madrid and they absoulutely demolished Olympiacos at Karaiskakis Stadium.
But..This only happent after the break, in wich Bould probably screamed all he could to his players for not scoring their oppurtunities..The first half was not a boring half..It was just one of those halfs in wich one team is dominating and the other team is just there..
The only BUT was that Arsenal couldn't score and that made Bould mad, all you could here at the Karaiskakis Stadium was the Englishman screaming.
The second half began and you could see some difference.. Altough the real difference came on the 65th minute when the one and only Alexis Sanchez scored, the Chilean is on fire, and is looking to try to score more than the 25 goals he scored in the 14/15 season.
Sanchez kept dribbling and dribbling, untill a Alberto Botía got mad and fouled him... It was a penalty, and suprise suprise, it's 2-0, it's the second of the game for Sanchez!
Arsenal slowed their pace for the next 10 minutes, it seemed that 2-0 was enough.. But not for Alexis.. 13 minutes after his 2nd goal, he scored an amazing free kick, completing his hat-trick!
It was 3-0 and Olympiacos had give up.. The same cannot be said for Ramsey who scored an absolut rocket and made it 4-0.. FINALLY, the Gunners are back, the Real Gunners, the gunners who don't lose points to small opposition!

And the player of the month was......ALEXIS SANCHEZ, what a suprise!

October: First Half of the Month Review!
Arsenal 3-2 West Brom
http://i57.tinypic.com/14jb5vm.jpg
Could Arsenal make it 5 straight wins?
http://i62.tinypic.com/29qib0n.png http://i62.tinypic.com/6sb2is.png
Arsenal started with Alexis as a striker..The winger had an amazing month, and was even named Player of the month!(As a winger)..Is Bould doing a 'Wenger'?
Arsenal presented a full strengt team, and showed that they don't miss Wenger.
At least in the first 80 minutes..
It's been a normal thing for Arsenal this season, starting strong and dominating, and lowering their pace from then on. It's been working wonderfully for the Gunners, but today West Brom showed why you can't do that in the Premier League.
The first forty five minutes of the game was all Arsenal and they even got a penalty!15 minutes and already a penalty for Arsenal..There it was, Santi Cazorla against Ben Forster, and the winner was... Santi Cazorla!The Winger madei it 1-0, no suprises at the Emirates.
From that moment Arsenal kept trying and trying, but still no second goal.. Untill the 41st minute when the Spaniard Cazorla scored an amazing free kick.
Arsenal seem like a real powerhouse in terms of set pieces!
The Second half would begin and you didn't have to wait a long time for the third, Schneiderlin scored his first for the Gunners! In Southampton he would just stay in the midfield area and control the tempo, but Bould made sure he wouldn't just stay in midfield, Ramsey and Schneiderlin form an absolute beautiful midfield partnership, with both players climbing up the field and dropping down when needed, the chemisty is amazing!
We were on the last 5 minutes of the game, and it all seemed that Arsenal would win 3-0, but don't forget, this is the Premier League we're talking!
On the 88th minute Johnny Russel scored a header from a Pocognoli assit!
However, it seemed like a consolation goal, no one celebrated, and no one was pissed off.
But things started to get entartaing again when 3 minutes later Berahino scored, and again, all you could hear was Bould shouting to his players to concentrate and mentalize that they are not playing for a league 1 team!
But the game ended 2 minutes later, West Brom tried, but the gunners didn't crack.[size]

Chelsea 4-1Arsenal
http://i60.tinypic.com/2dtxbgp.jpg
[size=10]Chelsea won 6-0 in their last game. Can they make it 12 in two games?
http://i57.tinypic.com/nf4ai0.png http://i57.tinypic.com/2rftqv9.png
Both teams wanted to win, on one side a team that wants do win back-to-back premier leagues, and on the other side, a team that wants revenge for the Community Shield(Arsenal lost 3-0).
Have you noticed something that is in every post about Arsenal? They always start dominating. But this time, they started getting dominated! It looked like it was Arsenal against a smaller club, except that in this case Arsenal is Chelsea, and the Small Club is Chelsea..
Confusing isn't it?But well, there is no better way to explain it!Arsenal got owned by Chelsea!
The first goal was scored by Koscielny in a corner, it was 1-0!
''But, hey, you said that Arsenal got owned and that Chelsea started dominating!''
And they(Arsenal) did get dominated. Their goal came from a counter-attack, that resulted in a corner.
Since Arsenal's goal, Chelsea became even more pressing and dominating, letting no space to breathe.
13 minutes after Arsenal scored the goal, Oscar scored, and made it 1-1
Arsenal managed to hold on to the 1-1, and looked a better team after half-time.
15 minutes untill the end of the match, Chelsea lowered their tempo, and Arsenal kept getting better and better(nothing to good really, but they improved a lot since the first half).
The Gunners were expecting a 1-1 result, just like they were expecting a 3-0 win from their previous game..But it all changed when Diego Costa scored the 2-1 on the 78th minute.
Arsenal still had a chance though..for about 3 minutes, because on the 81st minute Cuadrado scored.
The game was set, and Arsenal were going to leave Stamford Bridge with 0 points on the bag.
On the 90th minute William scored the 4th goal for Chelsea.
