Playing in their traditional home strip of red top, white shorts and red and white socks, the Arsenal team is easily recognisable and has become renowned for its attractive and successful passing game under current manager, Arsene Wenger. Winning no fewer than 13 top flight league titles and 10 FA cups, Arsenal is regarded as one of the top three or four football teams in the country.

Traditionally, Arsenal's main local rival is Tottenham Hotspur FC, who has recently endured a downturn in fortune both on and off the pitch. In terms of direct competition, Arsenal's two primary rivals are now Manchester United and Chelsea. Indeed, Arsenal last won the Premier League title in the 2003 - 2004 season, in which the Gunners truly dominated their opponents by finishing 11 points clear of Chelsea and 15 points ahead of Manchester United. Furthermore, Arsenal made it through the whole season without suffering a single defeat, an achievement matched only once before, by Preston North End some 115 years earlier!

The Arsenal football team has also set records in other aspects of the beautiful game, most notably the 995 minutes of playing time it spent without conceding a goal in the 2005 - 2006 UEFA Champions League, the final of which saw a 10 man Arsenal lose bravely to European giants Barcelona. Nevertheless, the 2005 - 2006 Champions League provided the perfect stage for one of Arsenal's greatest ever footballers to work his magic.

Thierry Henry, who began his professional football career on the wing, joined Arsenal in 1999 for a spell that would last 8 successful years. Shortly after becoming the Gunners' most prolific goal-scorer of all time with 226 goals in 369 appearances, Henry set a new record on the international scene that installed him as France's top all time goal-scorer. In addition to this, Henry won various prestigious awards such as the European Golden Boot and FIFA World Player of the Year. Perhaps more importantly, despite leaving the team in 2007, Henry's image is one which still graces many an Arsenal bedroom in the form of official Arsenal bedding, Arsenal curtains, etc. Indeed, Henry is also one of the most marketable faces in the game and is still a popular figure on Arsenal duvet sets around the country and the world.

Arsenal was never a one man team and other fans' favourites include Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Wright, Fabregas, Viera, Seaman and Adams. Maybe once upon a time the team deserved its '1-0 to the Arsenal' jibe, but nowadays the hallmark of the squad is its ability to play truly exquisite football. Indeed, the positive shift in perception of Arsenal FC is almost entirely the work of Arsene Wenger, who joined the team as manager in 1996. Although previous generation players such as Ian Wright provided fans with plenty to cheer, gone are the days of watching Tony Adams hoof both ball and opposition player deep into the stands for 89 minutes whilst lone striker Alan Smith bundled in a last-gasp winner off his shinpads. With the introduction of Wenger, Arsenal was transformed by a new training regime and entirely different tactics. Furthermore, the French manager began a trend of scouting for young foreign players and integrating them into the senior squad quickly. This became a successful formula for the club and even today Arsenal is renowned for their enthusiasm, youth and cosmopolitan structure.
