Club by Club Preview: Arsenal

Last Season: 3rd
After winning just 2 out of their first 8 games in the Premier League season, many doubts were raised as to whether Arsenal could actually qualify for the Champions League. But, in true Arsenal under Wenger style, Arsenal once again qualified for this year's competition. If offered 3rd and the retaining of the FA Cup at the start of the season, Arsenal fans would have been satisfied, but not ecstatic by any means, if you ask me. But, following their opening to the campaign, they made the best of what could've been an utter disaster. A good run following the return of Koscielny after injury gives Arsenal a huge amount of hope coming into the new season. The dramatic improvement of Giroud led to a more relaxed Claude on Arsenal Fan TV (If you have not watched that, shame on you!) and a small improvement and reduction in Wenger's naivety in big games also gives a lot of hope for the new campaign.

Last Season: 3rd.
Having started last season incredibly poorly and having lost Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri in the Summer Transfer Window 2011, Arsenal fans began to fear that Europa League action may face them this season, but with the smart signing of Mikel Arteta and the magnificent goal tally of Van Persie, Arsenal were able to retain their Champions League spot, whilst also finishing ahead of close rivals Tottenham (which of course is an added bonus).

The Tale of Arsenal Football Club.

On the outskirts of London there lives an old man named Arsene Wenger. He is a 61 year old man who works as manager of Arsenal football club and has done so since 1996. He has brought his club forward a lot in his reign as coach. But in recent years many monsters sniffing around his area have made Arsene who was once happy, very grumpy. Since 2006 the people around his area have taken many of his influential players including Ashley Cole, Robert Pires, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg. This has led to a 6 year trophy drought with last year being the closest he's come to a trophy before the big meanie Alex McLeish spoiled the party before it even started.
