Arsenal

 

Home Up

  • Nickname:  Gooners.  Interestingly, Arsenal fans held tight onto The Arsenal, while the club abandoned the pronoun for over 50 years.

  • Most notorious person.   David Dein, who started out as a saviour by bringing our lord Wenger, and then opposed the building of the WengerDrome, tried to sell to the Americans and finally sold to the Usmanov. 

  • Ownership Mostly UK citizens - including quite a few fans

  • Best known song  (To the tune of "Sailing")

                            We're not stupid, we're not stupid, we're not stupid, David Dein

  • Most obvious tactics:   More passes per minute than most teams achieve in a season

  • Greatest achievement:  Two months before the end of the Unbeaten Season Sir Alex Ferguson announced that Arsenal would certainly get beaten, that he had been in a Rangers team that had been unbeaten all season and which had then lost in the last match, and that anyway United play better football, and everyone knew that.   Priceless.
