PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE

(ARSENE WENGER)

Arsenal are recognised as 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 in the early days to the immense influence of Tony Adams and the astute signings of players such as Thierry Henry,(now departed for Barcelona) and Patrick Viera (now departed to Juventus and recently at Inter Milan). Arsenal climbed back to the top of the pile. Their rise culminated in a second Premier League and FA cup double in 2002, to add to their 1998 achievement. Three runners-up finishes in the interventing years displays how the north Lndon giants have lived up to their high standards over the last dacade. The famous old Arsenal defence has a new look these days, but the replacements , and the recruits to midfield and attack have done enough to assure fans that they can live up to the achievements of their predecessors. The Gunners added a third Premier League crown of Wenger's reign as their astonishing and unbeaten run throughout the entire 2003/04 league season saw them lift the title. The 2006/07 season saw the Gunners move away from Highbury(their home for the previous 93 years) to the plush new Emirates Stadium.

HISTORY OF ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB

London's most succesful 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 untill the 1930 for their first period of sustained success when five Division One championship 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 Eropean Cup Winner's 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 Premier L eague title made up half of the club's second Double in 1998. Their second Premier League title in 2002 when they ended the season on a 38 game domestic unbeaten run was also coupled with victory in the FA cup final. Wenger guided the gunners to the Champion League final in 2006 but Barcelona clinch the title in paris (France).
