Doing well with Arsenal there I know about the April fool thing but never had it happen to me before Thanks mate!

The ultimate aim is to win the World Cup with England but the current manager doesn't look like he's leaving anytime soon Need a club to nurture English talent and Arsenal is the perfect place to do it at the moment!

DavidBeckham Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Pre-season 2033/34 - Arsenal F.C. Board Expectations English Premier League: Win Premier League Champions League: Reach Semi Final FA Cup: Win FA Cup Capital One Cup: Not important My board are a hard bunch to please. We won it all except the Premier League last season and they were only satisfied with our six trophies. This season, in short, we have to at least wrestle back our premier league title and win the FA Cup to keep them happy. But still, being the rebellious me, youth development comes first! Summer Transfers Gavin Marsden Just that one player in as I want to keep faith with the players who almost won it all last season. Our experienced Uruguayan striker was sold and Gavin was brought in to provide some much needed striking options. The 20-year-old is one of the most determined young footballers in world football and with clubs like Chelsea sniffing around, it made our decision to sign him very easy. I will give him time to settle this campaign and when next season comes, it will be his time to shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidBeckham Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Season Review 2033/34 - Arsenal F.C. Premier League I was glad to see our boys wrestle back the trophy from Man United and it was also pleasing to see my first club up there in second spot. Eventually, we won the league by 16 points, scoring 79 and conceding 25 in another defensively solid season. Capital One Cup We were lucky in the draws all the way till the final and the boys lived up to their expectations by lifting the trophy after a convincing 5-2 victory in the final against Brighton. FA Cup We were all disappointed after a narrow loss in the semi-finals against our rivals Man United. We had more shots and arguably the better chances but Man United pounced from a set-piece to stop us from retaining the trophy. Champions League Biggest disappointment of the season after coming so close to retaining the trophy. The lads probably peaked at the wrong time after impressive victories against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the quarters and semi-finals respectively. Eventually, we came unstuck when we conceded three poor goals via a combination of poor defending and moments of brilliance from the Barcelona players. Goal Machine - Fankaty Howell Well-deserved awards by our player of the season and Fankaty finished the season with an impressive 29 league goals and 7 assists in only 33 league appearances. What's Next? Vincenzo Montella is doing fantastically well with England and has now won the last World Cup and European Championships. The next World Cup is in 2038 and I am still waiting patiently to see if he decides to leave for pastures new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Cheers mate! But why do you hate them so much? My 'European' team has always been Barcelona, going back to the 90's, and in fact there is also a strong ancestral family connection (to the point where I count Catalan as one of my 4 'nationalities') along with Madrid's fascist connections, focus on marketable stars over a sensible transfer and selection policy, an arrogant knowledge that they can sign even the likes of Ronaldo and the past galacticos and no other club in the world can resist (though I do hold my hands up over the way the Fabregas signing was handled), and being awarded 'Team of the Century' by FIFA had a strong 'teacher's pet' feel as well and seemed to be just another way to 'honour' them as it's not an obvious award to have otherwise.

Thanks mate. Montella should totally go for the Italy job instead, they kept offering me the job! Great read this DB - well done :-)Are you still using your 4-1-4-1?

DavidBeckham Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Pre-season 2034/35 - Arsenal F.C. Board Expectations English Premier League: Win Premier League Champions League: Reach Semi Final FA Cup: Win FA Cup Capital One Cup: Not important For once, the board did not raise their expectations and they were identical to last year's. Summer Transfers Ben Chadwick The young English striker was on loan at the Emirates Stadium two years ago and this time round, he joins permanently and will be our fourth choice striker in the upcoming season. Jonny Eaton We needed more pace down our right flank and Jonny offers exactly that. The quick winger is a different option from all the other wide players at the club and he will get lots of game time in London. Samuel Asante Samuel has been on our shortlist for quite some time and we finally need him after we let our ageing anchor go. The tough tackler will compete hard for the first-choice midfield anchor role. David Broxton David is signed as our future no. 1 and he will take his time to further his development at the perfect club. Tom Hunt Tom replaces the last non English player in our squad and.. ..we have finally achieved an all English squad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
