Bury FC: November — January 17/18, Arsenal on fire!

Hi everyone, welcome back to my Bury story. Last time I left you with Bury at the top of the table, however Man City were the closest challengers with two games in hand and the next game was against us! It was a must win game! And this is how it went:

WOW! What a victory, my team turned up, City didn’t and the match was over in the first half. All of a sudden, in 45mins, City’s goals conceded column changed from 1 goal to 5 goals! This was just the confidence needed entering a packed winter schedule.

You would have thought we would have easily won the next two games, instead we dropped 4 costly points. We then lost against Wolves, thats easy points dropped also, and conceding late to Man UTD, which is now 9 points dropped. We also had a ridiculas schedule of playing Villa on a monday and Liverpool the next day, but we won both games.

Notice Araujo had only scored 7 goals in 17 games? He isn’t the same player as he was last season.

If you compare our results to Arsenals results then their is a massive contrast. They won all their games in this period apart from 1. They just seem to kill teams off, they are more efficient in attack and defence.

Just look at Arsenals team:

What a team! We all know who everyone is apart from Fort who is a 20m valued RB! They have excellent wingers, Excellent playmakers, brilliant holding midfielder, great defence and brilliant goalscorer! They seem unbeatable and it would be a huge task to overtake these guys.

League Table

League table is unsuprising, Arsenal run away leaders. Sam Allardyce, please forgive me for my harsh words at the start of my previous post :( Although you have inherited Wenger’s team :D We have conceded the same amount of goals as last season but are 2 points off. The leader at this stage last season had only 67 points compared to 74.

You know what, our results aren’t bad, it’s just we could have avoided all the 9 points (approximately) we dropped and could have been 4 points away from the top. We are in a race for second place.

Champions League

We beat Shakhtar twice and drew against Barcelona! This confirmed our place in the knockout stages and we will face Lyon, a lucky draw and we should be able to win the tie.

League Cup

We beat Sunderland in the quarter finals, and then we had to face Man City again! We won 3-1 on aggregate, despite City taking the lead in the second leg:

QUE SARA SARA WE’RE  GOING TO WEMBLEY, WE’RE GOING TO WEMBLEY, QUE SARA SARA!

FA CUP

FA CUP isn’t the same as the League Cup as we are out of the competition. Birmingham beat us 1-0 at Gigg Lane in the 3rd round :( The board aren’t happy!

Average Ratings

Ze Carlos is our best player, signed for 5m two and a half seasons ago, he is my 3rd top scorer with 12 goals and my best and most reliable defender. No wonder Real Madrid and Arsenal have enquired for him! Dudu Cearense, my replacement for Ronaldo has 24 assists! He is good also. Arsenal enquired for him also as a possible replacement for Fabregas. Then comes my 18m signing Kevin Lorenz, who is our top scorer with 18 goals…

ZE CARLOS

Heading, Marking, Tackling, Concentration, Positioning, Stamina and Strength all = 17!!! Yikes!

DUDU CEARENSE

Anyway thanks for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed Arsenal’s rise. We have been the same as least season, just that Arsenal have grown even more under Sam Allardyce and they don’t want to lose the title they way they did last season.
