Brief history of Arsenal F.C.

Arsenal Football Club (pronounced ɑrsənl) (often simply known as Arsenal or The Arsenal, or by Arsenal nickname The Gunners) are an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. Arsenal 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. Arsenal hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the English top flight and are the only Premier League side to have completed a season unbeaten.
Arsenal were founded in 1886 and were the first Southern club to join the Football League, in 1893. Arsenal won Arsenal’s first major trophies in the 1930s, with five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a very long period during the post-war years Arsenal 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, and became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League Final which Arsenal did in 2006 against Barcelona.
Arsenal F.C. traditional color has been red and white, which have evolved through history. Similarly, Arsenal F.C. have changed location over time; the team were initially founded in Woolwich, south-east London, and in 1913 Arsenal moved north across the city to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury. In 2006 Arsenal made a less drastic move to Arsenal current home, the Emirates Stadium in nearby Holloway.
Arsenal has a large fan base, who hold a string of long-standing rivalries with several other clubs; the most notable of these is with neighbors Tottenham Hotspur, with whom Arsenal 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 Arsenal 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.
