End of Season Report
Arsenal again end the season without a trophy although the fans are strangely delighted with Robert Boyle. Arsenal spent big in the transfer matket at the start of the season in an attemp to snatch the premiership back from Manchester United with the signings of Julio Baptista for £13 million and Pablo Aimar for £20 million on deadline day.
Arsenal started the season very well with a eleven game unbeaten run, with seven of those games victories. But then they fell away into very inconsistent form getting knocked out of the league cup to Luton to end that unbeaten run. But that form did not stop Arsenal from qualifying for the champions league first knockout round with by four points winning four games drawing one and losing one. Up till the new year Arsenal played very well only losing one game. But then disaster struck as Newcastle beat Arsenal in the FA cup 3rd round so Arsenal were only left in the chamions league and the premiership. January pushed Arsenal further down the table only winning one game against Manchester United. Spirits were back up after Arsenal eased past Auxerre in the champions league first knockout round. Then Valencia knocked Arsenal out of the champions league. So Arsenal were out of every trophy again but they secured fourth place in May.
