August was an unforgettable month for many reasons - on and off the pitch.
Arsène Wenger's side started their Premier League campaign with a creditable draw at Newcastle but slipped up against Liverpool before losing heavily at Manchester United.
But they had no such problems in Europe, beating Udinese over two legs to take their place in the Champions League Group Stage for the 14th consecutive year.
Theo Walcott was Arsenal's top scorer in August with three, including goals in both legs of the Champions League play-off.
Robin van Persie netted twice, including a vital strike at Udinese.
There are plenty of contenders for our August Player of the Month award.
Wojciech Szczesny was outstanding in goal - saving a penalty at Udinese - while
Bacary Sagna and
Thomas Vermaelen were the bedrocks of the back four. Walcott was a threat further forward and
Emmanuel Frimpong was one of many youngsters to take their first-team chance.
