Usual yearly attempt at destroying my own side. Only loaded all leagues in England on a large DB, started with no transfers in the first window also.

Formation I'll Be Using

I've a couple coming in but i reckon i'll be sacked before they settle ffs.

December

Possibly the worst month of results i have ever had in FM.

Managed to finish second in my CL group for which i was rewarded an easy tie against Barcelona... Have already had two board meetings so i'll be amazed if i make it to the end of January.

Also there are no highlights this month, just tears of sadness.

Actually glad about it as full game update seemed to make the game unplayable, absolute joke really.

Absolutely no idea, like I said everything seemed to start going wrong once the game updated to the full version. I will start again as Arsenal at some point though.

Well that 'point' came around a lot quicker than i expected, so everything you have read for the last two pages needs to be forgotten about as if it never ever happened

So, started again with the newer game version and went back to a slightly different version of my FM15 Arsenal tactic. Have also sorted out my back room staff and just generally took a bit more time on my play rather than just rushing through like i usually do. Have just reached the halfway point and here's where we stand.

Thats simply because i'm terrible at the game, though last year i did go against everything i usually do and spend a fortune. Had Bale, Messi etc and did half decent but then got bored ffs.

Everything will be ok now as Benik's back.

So reached the start of March and here's where we stand in the league, got knocked out the FA Cup by Man City but did win our CL 1st ko rnd 1st leg 3-0 away at PSV. Also signed one player in January but he won't be signing until the end of the season.

March Season 1

Since losing 1-0 at the Etihad we've gone on a 12 game unbeaten run which has seen us gain a 7pt lead at the top. In the CL we drew the home leg 1-1 with PSV seeing us through 4-1 on agg and setting up a Quarter Final with Lyon. Highlight of the month was the 1-0 win at White Hart Lane, but sadly in the same game Hector Bellerin broke his foot and will miss the remaineder of the season and as you can see by the Premier League stats he will be greatly missed.

Season 1 Conclusion (March/April)

Well we did it, league champions by a good margin though this was probably mostly down to how bad the rest of the bigger sides performed. In the cups however we was awful, our CL campaign ending with a 5-2 defeat to Lyon, special mention to Santi Cazorla who managed to miss a penalty in both legs, useless little prick. Have my eye on one major signing for the new season though that will depend on funds available.

Much better than my first attempt, though the second season will be much tougher due to me not wanting to spend money ffs. Despite spending £50m on one player i've still got around £160m to spend (after some sales) and i just can't bring myself to use it

Just because you're managing Arsenal, doesn't mean you have act like Arsene Wenger

Certainly not Bale, but is a striker who will be Giroud's replacement.

Think people are getting a little over excited as he's not a superstar well not yet but currently a 'wonderkid'. Should guess him now after that.

Decent start to the season but once again poor in the cups, Martial has been producing the goods but then went and got injured for a month ffs.

Season 2 - November

I've come to the conclusion that the only possible reason we perform so poor in the cups is due to me not offering a high win bonus like i do for the league. If this is the case then it really needs sorting out. Highlight of the month was Martial's brace and City's great defending at the Etihad...
