Arsenal FC | Club History

We discuss some of Arsenal Football Club's history in this video. We begin with the club's location, home ground, and founding story. We then discuss the club's nickname (the Gunners), crest, and important events. And we close with discussing noteworthy players, managers, and stats/records.
The video is not all-encompassing but it hopefully provides some interesting information about Arsenal FC.

Thank you for this history lesson about Arsenal FC. I just started following Arsenal, and this info from you came so useful!

[@TheSoccerTavern]

So happy you found the video helpful. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🍻

[@creby.]

How do u feel about the new kit?

[@NateNakao]

My family hails from Nagoya. In fact, that's where my dad was born and raised. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the EPL team I chose to support had a manager who was previously managing a club from my family's hometown!

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Hey Nate! Thanks for checking out the video and I’m glad you learned something new. And that is so cool that your family comes from Nagoya and you have that connection between Arsenal, Arsene, and Nagoya Grampus Eight.

[@michaeldevall8497]

They are called the gunners because of the gun factory in woolwich. If you go today you will see cannons. And this is why we have the canon aka the gunners.

[@samuelamanikusolo9543]

wow grate history, I have supported arsenal for 14year but i didnt know this, thanks

[@tristanlucas6531]

Holy moley, that's some awesome lore. I have been THE diehard Arsenal fan for 211 years and never knew that they were called the Gunners. Thanks mate.

[@KBox1991]

Also. We have won 2 EFL Cups. But we also won the Century League cup celebrating the EFLs 100th season so it’s actually 3 league cups.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Interesting. I hadn't heard much about the Century League cup. Thanks for sharing Matt! 🍻

[@ej8014]

Great history video! I’ve been an Arsenal supporter my whole life and I now know a lot more about my favourite club, i’ve just subscribed.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Thanks for the subscription and I’m really happy you enjoyed the video. All the best to the Gunners the rest of this season and into the future 🍻

Pathetic

I don't write rhymes nigga I write checks

[@Leo-S-Ellen]

My club 💯🔴⚪😍

[@KBox1991]

Also fun fact. Arsenal play in red because Nottingham Forrest give Arsenal old kits to play in. Because at the time kits cost a lot of money and the club didn’t have budget to get their own

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Nice. Thanks for all the extra info Matt 🍻

[@alanpercival6428]

They stole the white sleeves off of fulham, we had red red shirt white sleeves in1886.... 30 years before gooooners

[@alanpercival6428]

Oh ITS FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER... DROP IT

[@saiyerugara9038]

They're damn huge, obviously a 14th FA Cup has been won since but good video!

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Thanks Saiye 🍻

[@tdonovan4735]

Just to let you know - Woolwich is pronounced "Wool-ige" (or "Wool-idge) not Wool-Wich"

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Thank you for letting me know! 🍻

[@KBox1991]

Wenger won our first premier league. But it was our 11th league time. The premier league only split off from the EFL in the 90s

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Yes, I know. Later in the video, I say that Arsenal have 13 League titles. I was merely stating that Wenger won the club's first Prem title because that was noteworthy under his tenure. Hope you enjoyed the video! 🍻

Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed the video 🍻

[@Snakefarm223]

Everyone’s getting mad about his pronunciation of Woolwich, but y’all are the ones who put a second W in the name.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Haha, thanks! I don’t have room to talk tho as I’m from Philly and we pronounce things all kinds of crazy. I appreciate people letting me know about pronunciations when I get it wrong (although I prefer the polite corrections to the insults). Thanks again for having my back and hope you enjoyed the video! 🍻

Arsenal Football Club

[@WhiterunMenace]

As an American football fan we only say soccer so other Americans dont get confused. I mean it was England who called it soccer first lol. By the time they wanted to call it football the damage was already done in America. Hence, we call it soccer.

[@Vainglory14]

A note from an Arsenal fan about Arsenal's controversial selection into the top flight - it was 100% bribery. The owner at the time was a notoriously dodgy businessman.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Thanks for watching and commenting! 🍻

[@bigyoshi521]

Does the inter cities fairs cup not count as a title?I thought it was a predecessor to the europa league/UEFA cup

[@TheSoccerTavern]

I didn’t end up counting it as a major trophy for the purposes of these videos 🍻

[@bigyoshi521]

@@TheSoccerTavern alright that’s fine thanks

[@JakeS05-]

The pronounciation of Woolwich in this video is actually offensive

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

Who honestly cares - Woolwich is a nothing place. I'm sure there are places in the USA that you will pronounce badly.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

🍻

[@kaidenhall2718]

Update this. I’m a dumb American who really enjoyed the World Cup. I really liked Turner so I think I’m an Arsenal fan now.

Thanks for the comment and for watching! I don’t have much time to work on the channel these days. Hope to be back sometime in the future but I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. You picked a good season to start supporting arsenal! 🍻

Champions of Europe 🤣 You'll never sing that

[@pwrofmusic]

Arsenal is not a soccer club 😂😂😂 its a football club. Don't you dare change that. Americans always change names to something obnoxious. The game is called football ⚽ and played with the football. You call American teams what ever you want but don't you dare call teams from a different region or country that.

[@iamyourworstnightmare]

What are you Gonna do lmao?

[@timglennon6814]

I don’t know where you got your information from about Arsenal FC, but a lot of its BS. Just stick to that crap sport you call football.
