Arsenal FC History | REACTION (ft.

[@ShinobiBen_]

As an Arsenal fan, I just want to fully point out that our nickname the Gunners comes from the when we were founded in 1886 in the Borough of Woolwich. We were established by munition workers in "The Royal Arsenal" factory. Ammunition - Cannon (our badge), hence our nickname the Gunners. Hope this helps those who didn't know! :)

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Thanks Ben!

[@ShinobiBen_]

@@AriasandtheNATION No problem!

[@detonator82]

I'd also add David Rocastle and Paul Davis to the list of great Arsenal players. Davis joined the club as a teenager in 1977, and was a cultured midfielder with a sweet left foot shot, debuting against Tottenham in 1980. David Rocastle joined the club in 1984, another midfielder with a sweet right foot, he sadly passed away from leukaemia in 2001.

As a Gooner i feel like there is soo much more to cover and in general there could be more info he highlights. He never mention Highbury Stadium at all.

[@oma_gooner]

Best club ,,, love love love!! forget 1919 bro, that was eons ago, the impressive part is they have never been relegated since and won most titles till 1973! They are also ethical after 1919 whatever you want to say about that phase, they did deserve to be in the top league as they had tenure! its was very fair imo acc to the times! To this day Arsenal are immense immense immense!!!

[@BungleTheGooner]

Lovely stuff fellas, glad you took some time to deep dive into the best team in the land 😜

[@KillerVybz]

Arsene Wenger was manager of Arsenal from 1996-2018, so he was still manager whilst that video was recorded

[@kevinty7]

Wool which 😂😂👌🏽brilliant, great reaction and young fella did ok👍🏽😂

[@frankgunner8967]

Arsenal now have 14 fa cups

[@tommystein1596]

I can assure you that arsene is held is more esteem than any other manager we’ve had and the small divide is simply because our owners are incredibly tight and for 22 years gave him nothing but crumbs to spend hypothetically if a club like utd or Chelsea was to spend 200 million in a transfer window the kronkes would give him around 50 awful owners

[@timglennon6814]

I don’t know where this guy got his information from about how Arsenal FC got its nickname, but he’s got it wrong. This is how they got their nickname. Arsenal FC got the nickname the Gunners from being formed in 1886 by munitions workers at the Royal Arsenal factory.

[@gizmomypet4359]

If/when you and Spencer come to the UK i might be able to get you both tickets to watch an Arsenal game! Also check out a video on the invincibles or North London derby

[@Showboat69]

Can’t wait for Newcastle view xx

[@mattbirch4303]

There is so many old football clubs. For instance my team that are in the Championship were formed in 1882. You will find so many and be shocked to how old clubs are. Its a religion for sure

[@treacadelic]

Good start fellas. Pretty thorough introduction to the history of Arsenal.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Thanks man!

[@Pi_r8]

@AriasandtheNation Great reaction guys, looking forward to this. After this series you could check out the Coronation Cup, only held in the year when a new UK Monarch is crowned. Not been announced yet for 2023. It's only been held twice, 1902 and 1953, with only one winning team 😉

[@samuelpinder1215]

Its gotta be burnley playing as that's the kings team

[@pipmaple]

Spence was spot on with his patriots or Bills comparison 👍

[@gloryguyful]

I'd love to see a 2nd division NFL with promotion and relegation...........wow those teams wouldnt take the foot of the gas for a better draft pick

[@samuelpinder1215]

Imagine the college teams got promoted.

[@carolinestirland3126]

Hi Daniel. V enjoyable. Learnt a lot. In terms of pronunciation ..Woolwich is pronounced wool itch. Derby is pronounced Darby. 1 down 19 to go lol

[@lazyminipainting]

That was alright. Looking forward to some more 👍

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Yeah more coming soon! Thanks Laz!

[@cyrus2728]

You wash you're face, you're hands, you're Arsenal.

[@sammason5178]

Pronunciation guide:- "Wool-itch'. Thanks

[@John76125]

Soccer believe it or not was first used in the uk apparently. Coming from asoc. Association football which is what the game is still called today

[@MrKnowledge0014]

But the whole world calls it football. What Americans call football is only played professionally in the US.

[@sconaldo7]

It's crazy that we hate using the wordd soccer when it was us who invented the word in the first place

[@ralphpetrie7328]

The only problem with doing a series on English football is that in the comments there are going to be loads of partizan and biased views. This team is this, these fans are that etc.... All you need to know is that the culture of English football has changed so much in 20 years (for the worse in my opinion). Rich investors now determine success whereas before clubs would often be run by people with historic ties to the team. Success would always be about what happened on the pitch, how well the club was run and how well they were supported. Before football became financially doped the three biggest and most successful teams were Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. I imagine that this comment is going to rattle a few people but this is not the intention.

[@ellesee7079]

Well he didn't do too bad for a ....young lad! I don't think he's going to help your pronunciation much though! I always thought they were nicknamed The Gunners because they are called Arsenal - everyday's a learning day! Great start Daniel 👍🏻

[@MrKnowledge0014]

The Gunners is the nickname for the club itself.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Thanks so much louise!

[@marksheil]

Well also when arsenal moved to the so called north of London it actually wasn’t north London so spurs wasn’t in north London and the time when arsenal came and a few years later it turned into north London actually arsenal where the first club to be in north London As the area of north London now we know was made slightly bigger that includes spurs Many others things to include but too many to state but over it’s fine I guess

[@timglennon6814]

I must say guys your audio and video volumes were quite low.

[@Showboat69]

Yes guys are you doing all the premier league teams?😳😳😳

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Yes i am man.

[@Gilly9244]

It was a great video guys. But I just think you would get a better understanding hearing it from a Englishman. I hope that doesn’t sound condescending or arsey 🙈

[@Gilly9244]

I would like to say that the bloke in video knew his shit! But I just feel you’d get a bit more understanding of the emotion behind it all, is what I was meaning. Again really hope I didn’t sound like a div, because it was great video

[@ralphpetrie7328]

But have always been a London club. The other North London club only became a recognised London club when the boundary of Middlesex was moved in the 1960's. So The Arsenal have been in North London longer than Tottenham Hotspur.

[@Thebearscave81]

@Ralph Petrie ..... not really the same thing tho is it? 😀

[@timglennon6814]

The invisibles? 🤣🤣 They haven’t won as many trophies as Manchester United. Arson Wenger wasn’t a good a manager at Sir Alex Ferguson. Arson Wenger only won 17 trophies at his time at Arsenal as a manager. Sir Alex Ferguson won 38 trophies as a manager at Manchester United.

[@MrKnowledge0014]

You fail to realise Man U has always been a bigger club and Arsenal have always been punching above their weight. United have always had the bigger stadium and the city to themselves as a club, Do you even realise how many professional football clubs are in London. Finally, despite what you say about Alex Ferguson vs Arsene Wenger, Arsene and Arsenal are the most successful in the the sports oldest competition.

[@Alftupper334]

Let him keep saying "Soccer"... It has to be better than him getting his guitar out 👍

Now arsenal fans are so bitter even though they are second in the league!

[@MrKnowledge0014]

I'm not bitter at all. This season has been great so far and no matter who finishes top it will be seen as a very good season by everyone even neutrals.
