Arsenal Football Club Trivia

Arsen Wenger – Arsenal F.C. Manager.

In the illustrious history of the Red Army, no manager has coached longer or won more matches than Arsene Wenger, the French national who has been at the head of the club since 1996. A move initially met with trepidation by the local media, Wenger had to overcome the stigma of being the club’s first foreign-born manager. An attacking manager known as a purist, Wenger quickly earned the respect of former critical fans and media in his second season when he lead the Gunners to the Premier League title and won the FA Cup. A second Double followed in 2001-2002, eventually leading to one of the best seasons in the history of elite football in Europe: an undefeated season in 2003-2004, achieved only two other times at the highest level of European football. In September of 2007, Wenger signed a three-year contract to remain Arsenal’s manager.

Originally based on the southeast side of London, the club now known by supporters as the Red Army began modestly as Dial Square, formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886. Five years later the team began professional play before joining the Football League in 1893. Known since 1891 as Woolwich Arsenal, the club made the First Division in 1904 before becoming bankrupt in 1910 and moving several years later to the current location in North London, dropping the Woolwich in the process.

Former player George Graham resurrected Arsenal once again after taking over in 1986, winning six titles in eight years. Using his own brand of strict discipline, Graham adjusted on the fly from an attack-oriented manager into one relying more on defensive sets, tactics that led to the first FA Cup and League Cup double in 1992-1993. Graham lost his job after accepting an illegal payment from a Norwegian agent who had handled the transfer of two players to Arsenal in 1992.

Under the guidance of Herbert Chapman and, later, Joe Shaw and George Allison, Arsenal won five League championships and two FA cups during the 1930s, the first period of dominance for the club. However, Arsenal descended into mediocrity for several decades until a brief resurgence at the end of the 1960s that included the first European trophy in club history, the UEFA Fairs Cup in 1970.

Few football clubs in the world can match the history of Arsenal, the Premier League team based in Highbury, North London. Possessing one of the largest fan bases in the world, the club appeals as much to people all over the world as it does to those from the areas around Emirates Stadium, no doubt due in large part to the appeal of all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry, an Arsenal fixture from 1999 to 2007.

Arsenal Stadium

For much of the club’s history, Arsenal played at Arsenal Stadium (also known as Highbury). However, reduced capacity there limited earnings and the club embarked upon designing and building a new stadium, completed in 2006. Called Emirates Stadium for its corporate sponsor, the airline company of the same name, it seats over 60,000 people, making it the fifth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom. However, many Gooners, upset over their club selling the corporate naming rights, refer to the stadium as Ashburton Grove. A roof covers the four tiers of the stadium, but leaves the pitch exposed to the elements. Known as one of the best playing surfaces in the world, the stadium also features two giant screens to allow supporters to follow the action on the pitch.

 

Burnley Football Club

Burnley FC rejoins Premiership, completing turn of fortune for club. Burnley Football Club returns to the Barclay’s Premier League on 15 August, 2009 as they face Stoke City on the road at Britannia Stadium. Burnley FC is returning to England’s top flight of football after a 33 year absence.

Burnley’s first game in the 2009-2010 Premiership will mark the completion of an astonishing turn around for a club that was on the brink of being relegated from the Football League all together in 1987.

This past spring (2009), the Clarets defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship’s playoff final to gain promotion to the Premier League.

Burnley FC has a rich history in English football that goes back over 125 years. The Clarets are one of the founding members of the Football League. In 1888 Burnley, along with 11 other teams, founded the Football League. In the early decades of the newly founded league, Burnley experienced success on many different levels.

The club captured its first major trophy in 1914, defeating Liverpool FC 1-0 in the FA Cup final. The club’s first major league championship came during the 1920-21 season when they won England’s top flight after finishing second in the top flight in the prior season. After this point, league success would come at all levels of competition in England, but was interspersed with droughts in their form.

Burnley has been up and down through all four divisions of English football in their history, earning them a unique spot in the league’s history. Burnley FC is one of only three clubs to have won a championship in each of the four divisions. In addition to their 1920-21 success in the top flight, they captured another title in 1959-60, and have captured the second division title twice, and once each in the third and fourth divisions.

Turf Moor – Burnley FC Stadium

The Clarets hold another distinction in English football that is surpassed by only one team. Burnley has played their football on the same ground since 1883, at Turf Moor. Only Preston North End has occupied the same ground continuously for a longer period than Burnley has been at Turf Moor. The stadium can currently hold 22,546 seated, though with Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, plans are back in the mix to expand seating capacity to 28,000. Turf Moor has played host to one FA Cup semi-final. The game was played in 1922 and saw Huddersfield Town beat Notts County 3-1. The record attendance at the stadium was set in 1924 during an FA Cup 3rd round game as 54,755 saw Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Turf Moor’s North and East end seating stands were rebuilt in 1996 and are at current the largest and newest stands in the stadium. With its promotion to the Premier League secure, the Clarets hope to expand seating in the West and South stands to bring the stadiums total to 28,000.

Burnley FC Manager

On November 22, 2007 Scottish born, Ireland international Owen Coyle was introduced as the new manager at Burnley Football Club. Coyle took over a club that was finally stable on the field and led the team to a respectable 13th place finish on 62 points in the Championship. Coyle’s first full season in 2008-09 would be even more impressive as he led his team to a 5th place finish in the Championship and secured promotion through playoff victories. Coyle was a prolific striker in his playing days. After beginning his career with Dumbarton, Coyle bounced around to several different Scottish teams and even had a spell with Bolton Wanderers. Prior to joining Burnley, Coyle led Scotland’s St. Johnstone to back to back 2nd place finishes in Scotland’s second tier.
