Arsenal: On the Edge The dramatic story of the 2024/25 season
By Alex Fynn and Kevin Whitcher
By the standards of most clubs, Arsenal’s 2024/25 season was a resounding success. They had hoped to go one better than second place in the Premier League and reaching the semi-final of the Champions League. The fact that they did not shouldn’t detract from an exciting and tumultuous season in which Arsenal overcame controversial referee decisions and a swathe of injuries to deliver outstanding highs such as thrashing Manchester City, routing PSV Eindhoven in a record-breaking 7–1 win and triumphing over Real Madrid.
Arsenal: On the Edge is a comprehensive analysis that delves into everything from squad-building and selections to triumphs and controversies, reflecting on what the team need to do to ensure that 2025/26 sees the end of Arsenal’s twenty-year wait for the Premier League title.
