Kelab bolasepak Arsenal (Arsenal F.C.) (dikenali sebagai Arsenal atau The Gunners) adalah kelab profesional England football yang berpusat di utara London.

They play in the FA Premier League and are one of the most successful clubs in English football. Arsenal have won thirteen First Division and Premier League titles, ten FA Cups and reached the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in their history during 2005-06, which they lost 2-1 to F.C.Barcelona.

Arsenal were founded in Woolwich, south-east London, in 1886, but in 1913 they moved north across the city to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury, which was their home until May 2006. In July 2006 the club will move to the new 60,000-seat Emirates Stadium in nearby Ashburton Grove. Arsenal have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with neighbours Tottenham Hotspur, located four miles away in Tottenham, whom they play in the North London derby.

Arsenal adalah ahli kepada kumpulan G-14 yang terdiri daripada kelab-kelab terkemuka Eropah, sebaris dengan kelab-kelab Barcelona, AC Milan and Manchester United.

Sejarah

Maklumat lanjut : History of Arsenal F.C.

Arsenal were founded as Dial Square in 1886 by workers at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, but were renamed Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. They renamed themselves again to Woolwich Arsenal after turning professional in 1891. The club joined the Football League in 1893, starting out in the Second Division, and won promotion to the First Division in 1904. However, the club's geographic isolation resulted in lower attendances than those of other clubs, which led to the club becoming mired in financial problems. In 1913, soon after relegation back to the Second Division, they moved across the Thames to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury, north London. They dropped "Woolwich" from their name the following year. Arsenal only finished in fifth place in 1919, but nevertheless were elected to rejoin the First Division at the expense of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, by reportedly dubious means.

Pada tahun 1925, Arsenal telah melantik Herbert Chapman sebagai pengurus pasukan. Chapman telah memenangi liga dengan Huddersfield Town pada tahun 1924 dan 1925, dan beliau telah membawa Arsenal kepada fasa pertama ke arah kegemilangan. Beliau telah merevolusikan taktik dan sistem latihan, bersama-sama dengan pemain-pemain terkemuka seperti Alex James dan Cliff Bastin, meletakkan asas kepada dominasi kelab tersebut dalam bolasepak Inggers pada tahun 1930-an. Antara tahun 1930 and 1938, Arsenal telah menjuarai Divisi Pertama sebanyak lima kali dan piala FA Cup dua kali, meskipun Chapman tidak sempat untuk melihat pencapaian ini kerana beliau telah menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya akibat penyakit pneumonia pada tahun 1934. Sebagai tambahan, Chapman telah dilaporkan telah mengepalai penamaan semula stesen tempatan London Underground dari "Gillespie Road" kepada "Arsenal" pada tahun 1932, menjadikan stesen itu sebagai satu-satunya stesen Tube yang dinamakan sempena sebuah kelab bolasepak.

Berikutan dengan pengantungan bolasepak profesional Inggeris semasa World War II, Arsenal telah menjuarai liga pada tahun 1948 dan 1953 dan piala FA Cup pada tahun 1950. Bagaimanapun, nasib mereka mulai berubah; gagal untuk menarik pemain-pemain berkaliber seperti pemain-pemain pada zaman 30-an, kelab ini telah menghabiskan zaman 1950-an and 1960-an mereka dalam keadaan kekeringan trofi. Hinggakan bekas England kapten Billy Wright tidak mampu untuk membawa kejayaan kepada kelab ini sebagai pengurus.

Era kegemilangan Arsenal's kedua bermula dengan perlantikan mengejutkan ahli fisioterapi kelab itu, iaitu physiotherapist Bertie Mee sebagai pengurus pada tahun 1966. Selepas tewas dalam dua perlawanan akhir piala League Cup,mereka telah memenangi piala Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, piala Eropah mereka yang pertama pada tahun 1970. Ini diikuti degan kejayaan yang lebih membanggakan: kejayaan berganda pertama untuk merangkul juara liga dan piala FA Cup double pada tahun 1971. Bagaimanapun, dekad-dekad yang berikutnya telah dicirikan sebagai siri-siri yang hampir menang. Arsenal berkedudukan sebagai naib johan Divisi Pertama pada tahun 1973, tewas dalam tiga perlawanan akhir piala FA (1972, 1978 and 1980) dan tewas dalam perlawanan akhir piala Cup Winners' Cup atas penalties pada tahun 1980. Kejayaan tunggal kelab ini pada era ini adalah piala FA pada tahun 1979, dengan kemenangan 3-2 di saat-saat akhir perlawanan ke atas Manchester United yang hingga kini dianggap sebagai klasik.

Arsenal's players and fans celebrate their 2004 title win with an open-top bus parade

The return of former player George Graham as manager in 1986 brought a third period of glory. Arsenal won the League Cup in 1987, Graham's first season in charge. This was followed by a League title win in 1989, won with a last-minute goal in the final game of the season against fellow title challengers Liverpool. Graham's Arsenal won another title in 1991, losing only one match, the FA Cup and League Cup double in 1993 and a second European trophy, the Cup Winners' Cup, in 1994. However, Graham's reputation was tarnished when it was revealed that he had taken kickbacks from agent Rune Hauge for signing certain players, and he was sacked in 1995. His replacement, Bruce Rioch, lasted for only one season, leaving the club after a dispute over transfer funds.

The club's success in the late 1990s and 2000s owes a great deal to the appointment of manager Arsène Wenger in 1996. Wenger brought new tactics, a new training regime and several foreign players who complemented the existing English talent. Arsenal won a second league and cup double in 1998 and a third in 2002. In addition, the club reached the final of the 2000 UEFA Cup (losing on penalties to Galatasaray), were victorious in the 2003 and 2005 FA Cups, and won the Premier League in 2004 without losing a single match, which earned the side the nickname "The Invincibles"; in all, the club went 49 league matches unbeaten, a national record. Arsenal have finished in either first or second place in the league in eight of Wenger's ten seasons at the club, and they are one of only four teams (along with Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea) to have won the Premier League since its formation in 1993. Until recently, Arsenal had never progressed beyond the Champions League quarter-finals; in 2005-06 however, they reached the competition's final (where they played Barcelona on May 17, 2006), becoming the first club from London to do so in the competition's fifty year history. Arsenal went down to ten men early on, with goalkeeper Lehmann being sent off for taking down Samuel Eto'o just out side his area. However, they soon went 1-0 up, through Sol Campbell, but Barcelona came back with goals from Eto'o and Belletti to win.

Mercu pertama Arsenal daripada 1888

Arsenal's crest from c. 1949 to 2002

Royal Arsenal's first crest, unveiled in 1888, featured three cannon viewed from above, pointing northwards, similar to the crest of the Borough of Woolwich. These can sometimes be mistaken for chimneys, but the presence of a carved lion's head and a cascabel on each are clear indicators that they are cannon. In 1922, the club adopted its first single-cannon crest, featuring an eastward-pointing cannon. This crest was only used until 1925 when the cannon was reversed to point westward, its barrel was slimmed down and the club's nickname, The Gunners, was inscribed to the left of it. In 1949, the club unveiled a modernised crest featuring the same style of cannon, the club's name set in blackletter above the cannon, and a scroll inscribed with the club's newly adopted Latin motto, Victoria Concordia Crescit (meaning "victory comes from harmony"). For the first time, the crest was rendered in colour – red, green, and gold – which varied slightly over the crest's lifespan.

Because of the numerous revisions of the crest, Arsenal were unable to copyright it; although the club had managed to register the crest as a trademark, and had fought (and eventually won) a long legal battle with a local street trader who sold 'unofficial' Arsenal merchandise, Arsenal sought more comprehensive legal protection. Therefore, in 2002 they introduced a new crest featuring more modern curved lines and a simplified style, which was copyrightable. The cannon once again faces east and the club's name is written in a sans-serif typeface above the cannon. Green was replaced by dark blue. The new crest received a mixed response from supporters, with some claiming that it had ignored much of Arsenal's history and tradition with such a radical modern design, and that the club's fans had not been properly consulted on the issue.

Warna-warna

Arsenal's usual home colours

For much of Arsenal's history, their home colours have been bright red shirts with white sleeves and white shorts, though this has not always been the case. The choice of red is in recognition of a charitable donation from Nottingham Forest, soon after Arsenal's foundation in 1886. Two of Dial Square's founding members, Fred Beardsley and Morris Bates, were former Forest players who had moved to Woolwich for work. As they put together the first team in the area, no kit could be found, so Beardsley and Bates wrote home for help and received a set of kit and a ball. The shirt was a darker shade of red than the club's modern-day colours, almost purple, and was worn with either white or dark red shorts.

In 1933 Herbert Chapman, wanting his players to be more distinctly dressed, updated the kit, adding white sleeves and changing the shade to a brighter pillar box red. The team have stuck with the combination since, aside from two seasons. Firstly, in 1963–64 the kit reverted to all red, but this proved unpopular and the white sleeves returned the following season. Secondly, as 2005–06 was the last season that Arsenal played at Highbury, the team's shirts temporarily reverted back to the original darker red, or "redcurrant", to reflect the colour worn in the first season at Highbury, in 1913. The club will return to their usual colours for the 2006-07 season.

Arsenal's home colours have been the inspiration for at least two other clubs. In 1909, Sparta Prague adopted a dark red kit like the one Arsenal wore at the time; in the 1930s, Hibernian adopted the design of the Arsenal shirt sleeves in their own green and white strip. Both teams still wear these designs to this day.

Arsenal's away colours are traditionally yellow and blue, although they wore a green and navy away kit for a short while in the early 1980s. Since the 1990s and the advent of the lucrative replica kit market, the away colours have been changed every couple of seasons. Generally, they have been either yellow and blue, or two-tone blue designs, although there was a metallic gold and navy strip for the 2001–02 season. However, many Arsenal fans feel that the blue shirts bring bad luck – all three of the club's recent Premier League titles have come in a season where the team wore yellow or gold. The 2005–06 away colours are yellow and dark grey.

Stadium

The North Bank stand, Arsenal Stadium.

The Emirates Stadium under construction.

Arsenal Stadium, widely referred to as Highbury, was Arsenal's home from September 1913 until 7th May 2006. The original stadium was built by the renowned football architect Archibald Leitch, and had a design common to many football grounds in the UK at the time, with a single covered stand and three open-air banks of terracing. In the 1930s, the entire stadium was given a massive overhaul, with new Art Deco East and West stands constructed, and roofs added to the North Bank and Clock End terraces. At its peak, Highbury could hold over 60,000 spectators, and had a capacity of 57,000 until the early 1990s. The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations forced Arsenal to convert Highbury into an all-seater in 1992, reducing its capacity to 38,500; this capacity had to be reduced further during Champions League matches to accommodate additional advertising hoardings. Expansion was restricted because the East Stand had been designated as a Grade II listed building and the other three stands were close to residential properties whose owners objected to expansion.

These limitations in Highbury's capacity have prevented the club from maximising the revenue that their domestic form could have brought in recent seasons. Although the club remains highly profitable, Arsenal are currently in the process of building the Emirates Stadium, a new 60,000-seater stadium at Ashburton Grove, about 500 metres south-west of Highbury. While this project was delayed by red tape (including final approval of the necessary compulsory purchase orders by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott) and rising costs, construction is now nearly complete and the stadium is ready for the start of the 2006–07 season. The stadium is named after its sponsors, the airline company Emirates, with whom the club signed the largest sponsorship deal in English football history, worth approximately £100 million over the term of the deal. As a part of the deal the stadium will be known as Emirates Stadium for at least until 2021, and the airline will be the club's shirt sponsor from 2006 until the end of the 2013–14 season, having previously been Chelsea's shirt sponsors. The first game to be played there will be Arsenal legend, Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial game against his former club, Ajax.

Penyokong

Arsenal have a large and generally loyal fanbase, with virtually all home matches selling out; in 2005-06, Arsenal had the sixth-highest average attendance in England (38,184). Arsenal fans often refer to themselves as "Gooners", the name being derived from the team's nickname, "The Gunners". The club's location, adjoining both wealthy areas such as Canonbury and Barnsbury, mixed areas such as Finsbury Park and Highbury, and largely working class areas such as Holloway and Stoke Newington has meant that Arsenal's supporters have come from across the usual class divides. Arsenal have the highest proportion (7.7%) of non-white attending supporters of any club in English football, possibly because of the high proportion of ethnic minorities in north London.

Like all major English football clubs, Arsenal have a number of domestic supporters' clubs, including the Official Arsenal Football Supporters Club, which is affiliated with the club, and the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association, which maintains an independent line. The club's supporters also publish fanzines such as The Gooner, Highbury High, Gunflash and the less cerebral Up The Arse!. In addition to the usual English football chants, Arsenal's supporters sing "One-Nil to the Arsenal" (to the tune of "Go West") and "Boring, Boring Arsenal", which used to be a common taunt from opposition fans but is now sung ironically by Arsenal supporters when the team is playing well.

In recent times, a supporter's attachment to a football club has become less dependent on geography, so Arsenal now have many fans not just from London but all over England and the world. While there have always been small pockets of supporters abroad, Arsenal's support base has widened considerably with the advent of satellite television, and there are now significant supporters' clubs in Scandinavia, South East and East Asia and the United States. A 2005 report by Granada Ventures, which owns a 9.9% stake in the club, estimated Arsenal's global fanbase at 27 million, the third largest in the world.

Arsenal's longest-running and deepest rivalry is with their nearest major neighbour, Tottenham Hotspur, with matches between the two being referred to as North London derbies. Matches against other London sides, such as Chelsea and West Ham United are also derbies, but the rivalry is not as intense as that between Arsenal and Tottenham. In addition, Arsenal and Manchester United have had a strong on-pitch rivalry since the late 1980s, which has intensified in recent years when both clubs have been competing for the Premier League title.

Hakmilik

Arsenal's parent company, Arsenal Holdings, operates as a public limited company. However, Arsenal's ownership is considerably different from that of other football clubs. Only 62,000 shares in Arsenal have been issued, and they are not traded on a public exchange such as the FTSE or AIM; instead, they are traded infrequently on OFEX, a specialist market. As of December 2005, Arsenal's market capitalization value is £290m, and the club made a pre-tax profit of £19.3m in the 2004-05 financial year.

Currently, the club's largest shareholders are Danny Fiszman (a London diamond dealer) and Nina Bracewell-Smith (a descendant by marriage of former chairman Sir Bracewell Smith), who hold 25.2% and 15.9% respectively. Vice-chairman David Dein holds 14.6% while club chairman Peter Hill-Wood owns less than 1%. Arsenal's board of directors hold the majority of the club's shares, but in recent years, with Arsenal becoming a significant media asset, outside organisations have bought into the club. These include entertainment firm Granada Ventures (a subsidiary of ITV plc) (9.9%) and hedge fund Lansdowne Partners (2.7%); Lansdowne used to have a stake in Manchester United before selling it to Malcolm Glazer.

Arsenal dalam budaya popular

As one of the most successful teams in the country, Arsenal have often featured when football is depicted in British culture and have appeared in a number of media "firsts". On January 22 1927, their match at Highbury against Sheffield United was the first English League match to be broadcast live on radio. A decade later, on September 16 1937, an exhibition match between Arsenal's first team and the reserves was the first ever football match to be televised live.

Arsenal also formed the backdrop to one of the earliest football-related films, The Arsenal Stadium Mystery (1939). The film is centred on a friendly match between Arsenal and an amateur side, one of whose players is poisoned whilst playing. Many Arsenal players appeared as themselves, although only manager George Allison was given a speaking part.

More recently, the book Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby was an autobiographical account of Hornby's life and relationship with football and Arsenal in particular. Published in 1992, it formed part of, and may have played an active part in, the revival and rehabilitation of football in British society during the 1990s. The book was later made into a film starring Colin Firth, which centred on the club's 1988–89 title win. The book also inspired an American film adaptation, about a fan of baseball's Boston Red Sox.

Arsenal's perceived tendency to be defensive and "boring" through the 1970s and 1980s made the team the butt of jokes by many comedians such as Eric Morecambe. The theme was repeated in the 1997 film The Full Monty, in a scene where the lead actors move in a line and raise their hands, deliberately mimicking the Arsenal defence's offside trap, in an attempt to co-ordinate their stripping.

The club is also mentioned in several Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches, and in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where a barman remarks that the impending end of the world is a "lucky escape" for Arsenal, who are playing that afternoon. Most recently, in the 2004 box office hit Ocean's Twelve the stars put on Arsenal tracksuits to escape from a hotel as part of one of their European heists.

An archival photograph of Arsenal's fan-packed bleachers serves as the endpaper for Sex Pistols vocalist John Lydon's autobiography Rotten: No Irish No Blacks No Dogs. Lydon is an open fan of Arsenal and makes several references to the team in the book.

Arsenal Ladies are the women's football club affiliated to Arsenal. Founded in 1987, they turned semi-professional in 2002 and are one of the most successful teams in English women's football today. They are managed by Vic Akers, who is also kit manager for the men's side, and play in the FA Women's Premier League; Arsenal Ladies are currently reigning champions, having won their eighth title in 2006. They also won the FA Women's Cup for the seventh time in 2006, and they have won the Women's League Cup eight times. They have reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Cup twice, the furthest any English women's club have ever got. While the men's and women's clubs are formally separate they have quite close ties; Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein is president of Arsenal Ladies, and they are entitled to play once a season at Highbury (they usually play their home matches at Boreham Wood).

David O'Leary holds the record for Arsenal appearances, having played 722 first-team matches between 1975 and 1993. Fellow centre half and former captain Tony Adams comes second, having played 668 times. The record for a goalkeeper is held by David Seaman, with 563 appearances.

Current Arsenal captain Thierry Henry is the club's top goalscorer with 214 goals in all competitions (as of May 7, 2006), having surpassed Ian Wright's total of 185 in October 2005. Wright's record had stood since 1997, a feat which overtook the longstanding total of 178 goals set by winger Cliff Bastin in 1939. Henry also holds the club record for goals scored in the League (164, as of May 7 2006), a record that had been held by Bastin until February 2006.

Arsenal's record home attendance is 73,707, for a UEFA Champions League match against RC Lens on November 25, 1998 at Wembley Stadium, where Arsenal formerly played home European matches because of the limits on Highbury's capacity. The record attendance for an Arsenal match at Highbury is 73,295, for a 0-0 draw against Sunderland on 9 March 1935. The current capacity of Highbury is 38,500 and the planned capacity of Emirates Stadium is 60,000; as a result, these records are unlikely to be broken in the foreseeable future.

Arsenal have also set records in English football, most notably the most consecutive seasons spent in the top flight (79, as of 2005-06) and the longest run of unbeaten League matches (49 between May 2003 and October 2004). This included all 38 matches of the 2003–04 season, making Arsenal only the second club ever to finish a top-flight campaign unbeaten, after Preston North End (who played only 22 matches) in 1888–89.

Arsenal have also set a UEFA Champions League record during the 2005-2006 season by going ten matches without conceding a goal, beating the previous best of seven, set by A.C. Milan. They have gone a record total stretch of 919 minutes without letting an opponent score. This streak ended on May 17, 2006 in the UEFA Champions League Final match against FC Barcelona. Samuel Eto'o broke the impressive defensive campaign scoring in the match's 76th minute.Full back Belleti scored in the 81st minute to give Barcelona a 2-1 victory denying Arsenal their first Champions league win.
