Arsenal Football Club, commonly referred to as Arsenal or simply "The Gunners," is a professional football club based out of London, England. Established as Dial Square in 1886 and later changing to Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards before becoming Arsenal Football Club in 1893 - since which time Arsenal has become one of the most successful and beloved clubs in English football.
Under Herbert Chapman in the 1930s, Arsenal experienced its initial taste of significant success. They won their inaugural major trophy - FA Cup - and went on to clinch five league championships - including three consecutive ones from 1933-35.
Arsenal continued their success during the 1970s and 80s under Bertie Mee and Terry Neill's management, winning both league and FA Cup doubles - first in 1971 under Bertie Mee and then again under Arsene Wenger who would go on to revolutionise Arsenal - twice more.
Wenger was Arsenal's longest-serving manager for nearly two decades, during which they experienced unprecedented success. His teams, known for their attractive style of play dubbed "Wengerball," won three Premier League titles -- including an unbeaten season when Wenger led his side unchallenged during 2003-04; plus seven FA Cup victories during his rule.
Since 2016 Arsenal have experienced a period of transitional management under Unai Emery and then Mikel Arteta. While still competing domestically for titles, their cup competitions performance has shown promise.
