Barclaycard Premiership champions Arsenal have treated us to some truly exhilarating football with Arsene Wenger combining the best of British with the top talent from around the world.
The current FA Premier League champions are one of the giants of English football and a consistent challenger for top honours. Arsenal, under the leadership of enigmatic Frenchman Arsene Wenger, shook off their ‘boring’ image and began to serve up some of the most attractive football in the league.
Thanks largely to the immense influence of Tony Adams and more recently the astute signings of players such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires, Arsenal have climbed back to the top of the pile. Their rise culminated in a second FA Premier League and FA Cup double in 2002, to add to their 1998 achievement.
Three runners-up finishes in the intervening years displays how the North London giants have lived up to their high standards over the last decade. The famous old Arsenal defence has a new look these days, but the replacements, and the recruits to midfield and attack – most recently World Cup winner Gilberto Silva, have done enough to assure fans that they can live up to the achievements of their Highbury predecessors.
Arsenal Football Club History
London’s most successful FA Premier League club was formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich and was initially known as Dial Square before adopting the name Royal Arsenal in 1886. Renamed Woolwich Arsenal in 1891, they moved to Highbury in 1913 and dropped the prefix.
They had to wait until the 1930s for their first period of sustained success when five Division One championships were won under Herbert Chapman and George Allison. Another pair of league trophies were lifted soon after the Second World War before further success arrived with the league and FA Cup Double in 1971.
More near misses came before George Graham, a hero of 1971, was named manager in 1986 and the glory days returned. Two league titles, two League Cups, the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup were garnered during his nine-year reign. Frenchman Arsene Wenger was named Gunners boss in 1996 and the roll of honour continued.
A first FA Premier League title made up half of the club’s second Double in 1998. Their second FA Premier League title in 2002 – when they ended the season on a 28-game domestic unbeaten run – was also coupled with victory in the FA Cup final.

please this coming weekend we are meeting mancity thus let us be aggressive when they land at our territory we should not be drawing back to our zone and back line or defense be very careful when you are attacking e.g when we played with liver pool last year when the opponent enter your side you find that he his waiting alone no body marking like torres he scored so easily because no body is marking him.i like the way ferbregas before he gets the ball he looks around him so that he makes sure that no body is closer.likewise song very confident giving accurate passes.generally arsenal team is ok but we need more to get premier title.

Arsenal has a great footballing tradition over decades and they have produced lots of great players in the world football, now the club needs tactical and strategical coaching to take their football further and cross more milestones.
