PRE SEASON

First Team Squad
Immediately as I took a look at my first team squad I noticed that we were missing a world class defensive minded milfielder a gap left behind by Alex Song who had left for Barcelona.

I felt if we were going to finish the season with a trophy we would need to rely on the likes of Santi Cazorla's attacking flair and Thomas Vermaelen leadership and defensive capabilities.

STAFF
I mostly focused on signing phyisos, scouts and coaches not much was changed as I kept the same assistant manger Steve Bould.

A new director of football was hired and it is Damien Comolli.


TRANSFERS IN
Not much activity in bringing to many players to the squad I did start of by purchasing Marouane Fellaini I paid a fee of 23 million breaking the clubs transfer record, I felt we needed a defensive minded player and I was confident he could retain possession in key parts of the game and also build up attacks.


TRANSFERS OUT
I wanted to get rid of a lot of deadwood in the First Team unfortunately I could not get rid of the players I wanted to. I did however sell one player which was Sebastien Squillaci for 600k and 13 young players went out on loan.

FRIENDLIES
I let my Steve Bould take care of the friendlies as long as everyone gets fit I don't worry about the results.

FC Bayern (L) 1-2
FC Dallas (L) 2-3
Los Angeles (W) 2-0
Napoli (L) 0-3
A.C. Milan (L) 0-1

I will take charge of my first competitive game against Sunderland at home.

AUGUST

My first month in management was great success as we won both games in august although the real tests will be coming next month.

There is no other transfer news to discuss there has not being any transfers in and any transfers out.

In our champions league group we were drawn against Shakhtar Donetsk, Malaga C.F., SAD and Fenerbahce.

-----------------------------------------------------
Arsenal 3-0 Sunderland
Andrey Arshavin, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Olivier Giroud

The first game in charge ends with a win I was very happy with the contribution of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain he pushed us forward in this game.

-----------------------------------------------------
Wigan 3-4 Arsenal
John Djourou 2., Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Maroune Fellaini work rate and decisions were incredible in this game he laid on 2 assists for his team mates.
-----------------------------------------------------

PLAYER OF THE MONTH
ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN

2 goals and 1 assist in 2 games Alex has been in great form.

SEPTEMBER

Although it was frustrating to lose to our fierce rivals Manchester United overall it was a good month only losing 1 game, drawing 1 game and winning the rest of the games the team is really starting to show an understanding of each other on the pitch.
-----------------------------------------------------
Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal

I can't be to harsh on the players here we did try our best here an lost by a small margin and it was an away game so overall not to disappointing.
-----------------------------------------------------
Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea
Oliver Giroud 2, Mikel Arteta
This was a dominating performance for us we outplayed Chelsea in every area with this win I believe we showed our title credentials.
-----------------------------------------------------
Arsenal 1-0 Malaga
Mikel Arteta
A routine win for us we scored the first goal and kept possession.
-----------------------------------------------------
Everton 1-1 Arsenal
Marouane Chamakh (pen)
We were very lucky the post saved us many times during the game to hold onto a draw we would have to improve if we wanted to compete for the title these are the kind of games we should be winning.
-----------------------------------------------------
Carling Cup Round 3
Wolves 1-0 Arsenal
Mikel Arteta

Despite creating several clear cut chances we were unable to finish them.

-----------------------------------------------------

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mikel Arteta (pen)

Another great victory at home the emirates has being a fortress this season.
