Well here come Arsenals first game at Ashburton Grove for the champions league first leg and Sheasby named a side with a couple of well known Arsenal players as well as some new additions to his squad. Sheasby said to his lads before the match “This is not only an important game for Arsenal FC, it is also important to all the fans out in OUR new stadium. 60,000 fans cheering us on in our champions league tie which is my first competitive match, now i have faith in each and every one of you and i am saying this to you now to remember throughout the match. Enjoy it and play your heart out the full 90 minutes for a win. I want to please this crowd and show the board made the right decision in appointing me manager” Here is the first leg
The result here thrilled Sheasby and the fans proving he can select a perfect team for the perfect match.
Swiftly moving onto the second leg, Sheasbys mean travelled all the way to Dinamo and stayed in together as Sheasby wasnt sure of his new surroundings. This proved vital for the match where his men where victors with debutant Omar Espraza getting a goal from a 20 yard drive! Sheasby described it to the press afterwards as “A spectacular strike! And said the youngster was “already becoming a big hit with the fans”
Post any views in here about the matches.

Well after 4 different friendlys and a little tinkering in the match line up from Manager Sheasby here are the results. He opened his friendlys with an away tie at Exeter City where they proved victors against a young in experienced side fielded by Sheasby.
Sheasbys team then travelled a couple of days later to the wonderful city of Belgrade too train in different environments and see what the football was like 
Next Arsenal traveled onto Red Stars camp and home city to see what they were like, Sheasby enjoyed a night out with the lads after the win against Partizan but with strict instructions to be in bed by 12 AM. Heres the results for this match
And last but by no means least a little friendly with Derby County football club. Sheasby said “They treated us very well and showed how a clubs hosipitality should be, Welcoming with a smile and a nice bit of banter from the hot female tour official” Lets see how this match went with Arsenals loan starlet Auturo Lupoli at the club

And thats the last of my friendlys! Enjoy people

Well Manager Simon Sheasby has looked over the number of candiates he was given for a feeder club and after much deliberation and thought about each clubs use for him and qualities he had decided to choose Belgian side KSK Beveren for the fact that he could easily send his non EU starlets who needed both experience and work permits to them for experience and a belgian passport. Saying in a press conference regarding the new feeder club he also annouced that every summer the two teams would hold a friendly at KSK Beverens ground with Beveren keeping the proceeds. And said “I believe KSK Beveren are a young Belgian side on the up and they have some amazing starlets at their disposal, I am hoping to possibly get to see what they are like in the next few years with the clubs scouts and future friendlies”
Sheasby is sure he has made the correct move here with a belgian feeder club as they can help him alot in the next few seasons.
