Gooners Stun Division One

All has been quiet from Highbury in recent weeks, although much has gone on behind the scenes. After an early exit from the cup Gooners went on to destroy each team they faced in the pre season, with form non existent in these games maybe there were signs this team could do well in division one afterall. Going into the away game against Strollers they had very low form and massive underdogs! The coach was confident going into the game though, so much so he planned to use it as a way to increase the players form

Mission accomplished, then Gooners took the three points and a bucket load of form from the game, yes certain players decreased and overall the form does not not look fantastic. It is those players that need said form that have it though and there were very few players that required training! It was not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination and it was the lowest skilled, lowest form player that stole the show.. Rocastle in what must be his final season won this one scoring two vital goals, and Gooners looked in control after the first found the net.

There was no Busquets on show, a player that Gooners blew their transfer budget on and that the manager has stated his belief that he is the best striker in the league and possibly one of the best players. Gooners now have a formidable frontline and a midfield capable of soring many goals... it will be an interesting season for Gooners who stated they would be happy with mid table finish. With no pressure on the team and with much talent on display they could be the suprise package of the season.

Next up is AJ Rovers, there will be a change of formation and personnel and with Gooners being the stronger team and form at high level.. the boss is confident of winning at Highbury. The real test comes after that and if they can start strong again this season they may find themselves in the running again.

Manager had this to say:
"It has been an interesting pre season and we now have the base to build upon for the future, to replace Bergkamp and Henry was never going to be an easy task but we now have young players capable of learning their trade alongside these two legends. Fabregas and Busquets are players capable of walking straight into the starting eleven and have many many years of improvement ahead of them. Although Bergkamps and Henrys best seasons are still ahead of them, and we look very strong next season, with improvements expected all around Gooners will possibly be playing its highest level of football to date.

The key is to remain competetive and add a longer shelf life to the team.. it has not been easy. There may be one more addition to the team in the form of a young defender, we already have the next generation in Wellington Silva in midfield and now is he right time to think about the defence, this is a team that must grow together. Lipscombe is a plyer i never saw myself selling which speaks volumes about Busquets... but again we must replace Lipscombe and the scouts are very busy.

This will be our hardest season for sometime, I have weakend the side slightly but it will become stronger next season and if we can do well now, we will be a force to be reckoned with after the next change report with only minor changes to the team required!"
