Arsenal finished fifth in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons). Bruce Rioch served as Arsenal manager, succeeding George Graham. Arsenal lost to Sheffield United in the third round of the FA Cup and were knocked out of the semifinals of the League Cup by Aston Villa. Season summary Bruce Rioch was appointed Arsenal boss on 8 June 1995, and took over an Arsenal side that had finished 12th in the FA Premier League the previous season. Rioch was hired from Bolton Wanderers, after an impressive run culminating in promotion to the Premier League. This also included an FA Cup win against Arsenal in 1994, when they were the holders. Pre-season signings David Platt and Dennis Bergkamp signaled Rioch's intent to play a more attacking, possession based style. Bergkamp was a club-record signing for Arsenal, costing £7.5 million from Inter Milan.Smith Alan 19 June 2015 Golden Goal: Dennis Bergkamp for Arsenal v Newcastle (2002) https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jun/19/golden-goal-dennis-bergkamp-arsenal-newcastle-2002 https://web.archive.org/web/20230222183014/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jun/19/golden-goal-dennis-bergkamp-arsenal-newcastle-2002 22 February 2023 8 December 2023 The Guardian Kevin Campbell and Stefan Schwarz were sold, Paul Davis was freed to join Brentford while Alan Smith confirmed he could no longer play because of his knee injury. Arsenal made a strong start to the campaign, not losing until matchday 8 at Stamford Bridge. A loss in the North London Derby at White Hart Lane in November was the start of a tough spell however as Arsenal won just three of the next twelve in the Premier League and went out of the FA Cup in the third round to Sheffield United. Arsenal blew their best chance of silverware in February after they went out of the League Cup to eventual winners Aston Villa in the semi-finals. Rioch did manage to right the ship and lead Arsenal to 5th, on the last day of the season, and a place in the UEFA Cup after losing just two of their final thirteen league matches. In Rioch's only season, Arsenal saw an improvement from 12th to 5th, improved their goal difference by 14 goals and conceded only 32 goals, a league best. Despite this progress, Rioch had a fallout with Ian Wright, in which Wright ended up turning in a transfer request. Rioch did not get the best out of Bergkamp, nor indeed Wright, but 5th was a creditable finish after the turmoil of George Graham's exit. Still, attendance figures at Highbury were up and the future looked promising for Arsenal. In the summer of 1996 Rioch clashed with vice-chairman David Dein about transfers. Following Graham's fiasco with an agent that ultimately led to his firing, Arsenal decided that transfers would be dealt with by the board rather than the manager going forward. Rioch and Dein however, failed to see eye to eye about how Arsenal should act in the transfer market. Just days before the start of the next season, by mid-August Bruce Rioch had been sacked. Rioch's 431 days in charge is the shortest spell of any Arsenal manager since William Elcoat's spell between 1898 and 1899 (when the club was still known as Woolwich Arsenal).The Official Illustrated History of Arsenal Hamlyn 2003Spurling Jon Top Guns Aureus Publishing Ltd 2001N.
