Arsenal - Road to Glory?

Hi guys, so this is my first ever story so I hope to bring excitement and I hope you enjoy it.

Unfortunately I have already played 12 games so far in the Premier League, so I am having to track back to write this story, so I'll keep it short but I am going to update you from start to finish.

In the summer, I was given around about 40 Million to spend. I bought 3 players - Leighton Baines, Seydou Doumbia and Dedé, I have 3 Million left. I had several tasks from the board those were -

Quarter finals of the Champions Cup,
Qualify for the Champions Cup via the Premier League
Semi-Finals of the F.A Cup
English League Cup was a cup they were not going to judge me on. Which is a good job but I'll leave that for another day!

So,ignoring the stats already given for my players and their ratings, this is how my team looks at the start.

In my opinion, my pre season was rubbish. We had a few games, mostly England but two were abroad. Not the best but atleast it wasn't playing for anything..just pride and fitness to get me going! Here they are -

All in all not the best start but I hoped to do better! I'm welcome to any comments or criticism I honestly do not mind. Thanks for reading!

So here is where the real business begins!

I start off with 5 games in August - 3 Premier league games and 2 "Champions Cup best placed play off legs" My aim was to start off playing well, so I knew a little bit of how MY Arsenal team would contend in the Premier League.

The fixture computer wasn't very kind to me for my first day - I have Manchester City at home! Oh no! I knew that if I played my best, I was definitely in with a chance, it was just whether or not I did that. Unfortunately it won't let me show you my line-up for that match, but to be blunt, I lost. 1-2, althought RVP did score!

Next up - OB. The first leg was away, and I happily took a 3-0 win! Gervinho, Doumbia and Chamakh scored.

Back to the premier league then as I faced - Swansea at home. The game saw me win comfortably 2-0 with two goals from RVP. This win makes up for my loss against Manchester City which could prove vital (even though I am only 3 games in!)

The second leg at home to OB proved just as easy as the first. 4-1 win for The Gunners. Doumbia (2), Gervinho and Song with the goals!

Then for the last match of August I faced QPR, where I won again, 4-1. Chamakh, Doumbia (2) and Dedé.

This is what the August month looked like for me.

For me, it wasn't a bad month in charge. Seeing my team lose against City was hard as there wasn't much in it, but I made up for it by winning the rest of my games in August and getting some points up onto the board. Although I let a few goals in, my defence is looking stronger now with Dedé in and I hope he can be a big impact, even though he is only 23, he does have SOME experience and he is a quality center back in my opinion.
New singing Doumbia became a big hit with the fans with his few goals that he managed to score, he looks to be a fine player with a great foot!

Hope you enjoyed reading, more to come!

Nice story you got there, looks interesting!

Thanks mate. Pretty interesting although I wished I had started it on my Reading F.C save as I've achieved alot more with them!

Good siging with doumbia, he scores loads of goals, good start to the story mate, keep it up
