Arsenal F.C.

I am writing this review as i sit in front of an Arsenal champions league game that we are winning now 4-0 (was 3-0 and the beginning of the sentence!) I have been an Arsenal fan all my life, and this has become more and more enjoyable in recent years due to the beautiful football they play. Whats particularly nice about being a fan of this club, is that almost all football lovers, regardless of their own team, will agree that Arsenal are the club that are the best to watch - not many teams get that praise from all angles. Wenger has done an amazing job at developing a club with such a wonderful style of play that builds on the skill and talent of ...  Read the complete review

Arsenal F.C. are an English Premier League football club. Their stadium is called The Emirates and is located in Holloway, North London. The stadium was opened in 2006 and has a spectator capacity of 60,355. Before that they were based at Highbury Stadium. The club was founded in 1886 and called Royal Arsenal and then Woolwich Arsenal. Their nickname to this day is "The Gunners" because an arsenal is where guns, weapons and ammunition is held. Arsenal fans are known as "Gooners" which is derived from the word gunners. Their greatest seasons have been in 1971-2, 1997-8 and 2001-2 each time winning the coveted ...  Read the complete review

As a mad Doncaster Rovers fan, I have only managed to see Arsenal play in the flesh twice, the latter being a League Cup quarter final match 3 years ago at our old ground Belle Vue. The Gunners were so lucky that night having beaten us on penalties as a result of an equlaiser scored in the last minute of a ridiculously allowed 2 minutes injury for a 15 minute extra time period. I have never forgiven the referee for that, but there can be no denying that the football played that night by Arsene Wenger's men was the best I have ever seen in the flesh. This includes trips to see Manchester United and England play. The side Arsenal put out that night ...  Read the complete review

Extremely talented, Extremely frustrating to watch! I have been an Arsenal fan all of my life and seen a lot of highs and lot of lows. Times are not great right now but they have been a lot worse in the past! A lot of the worlds best talents have graced the hallowed turf at the Emirate Stadium and Highbury. From Thierry Henry to Patrick Viera. From Dennis Bergkamp to Marc Overmars. Geniuses one and all. Nowadays the focus is on bring players through the youth team into the first team. This hasn't been as successful as Arsene Wenger or Arsenal would have liked. It seems that we are constantly in a state of transition. One game we ...  Read the complete review

I'm not an Arsenal fan but for me they are possibly the most entertaining team on the planet. (Please note this is not being borne out recently by results, due to lack of form, demoralised players, bad eggs and injuries). Originally Woolwich Arsenal, based south of the River Thames, Arsenal moved to North London in .... Over the years, Arsenal have been one of the two most successful London teams, with their arch rivals, Tottenham. And over the last 20 years they have been one of the two most successful clubs in England. From the glory days of Herbert Chapman and his incredible legacty, through Bertie Mee and the dour and yet highly ...  Read the complete review
