Arsenal Football Club (also known as Arsenal, The Arsenal or The Gunners) are an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. They play in the Premier League and are one of the most successful clubs in English football, having won thirteen First Division and Premier League titles and ten FA Cups, and hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the English top flight.
Arsenal were founded in 1886 and were the first Southern club to join the Football League, in 1893. They won their first major trophies in the 1930s, with five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a lean period in the post-war years they became the second club of the 20th century to win the League and FA Cup Double in 1970–71, and during the past twenty years have recorded a series of successes – in this time Arsenal have won a Cup Double, two further League and FA Cup Doubles, the Premier League title unbeaten, and became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League Final.
The club's colours have traditionally been red and white, although these have evolved through history. Similarly, the club have changed location over time; the team were initially founded in Woolwich, south-east London, but in 1913 they moved north across the city to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury. In 2006 they made a less drastic move to their current home, the Emirates Stadium in nearby Holloway.
Arsenal have a large fanbase, who hold a string of long-standing rivalries with several other clubs; the most notable of these is with neighbours Tottenham Hotspur, with whom they regularly contest the North London derby. Arsenal are one of the richest clubs in English football (valued at over £600m as of 2008), and thanks to their stature, have regularly featured in portrayals of football in British culture. Arsenal Ladies are the most successful English club in women's football and are also affiliated with the club.

Number 1 The thing is about Arsene wenger is he is stupid. Number 2 He make's other teamms make history against his team e.g Leyton Orient leuge 1 team. Number 3 He dosent buy any players i dont mind srticker just buy a DEFENDER or a GOALKEEPER. Number 4 Arsene wenger was the onley manager in the premier leauge of not buying any player in the transefer season.

I wish replay games weren't in the middle of the week. Because I live in the US, I'm at work at the time they are broadcast and I miss them. Hopefully I'll get lucky and FSC will re-air the Arsenal v Leyton Orient game later that night.

I am proud of the Gunners today! It was unlikely, but I believed they could pull it off. The job isn't over so Arsenal cannot afford to be cocky, but they can have some pride in themselves tonight!
