Honors and legacy

Arsenal are one of England's most historic clubs, famous for elegance, tradition, and a distinct playing identity. Their trophy haul includes:
  • 14 League Titles
  • A record 14 FA Cups
  • 2 League Cups
  • 1 European Cup Winners' Cup

Under Arsène Wenger (1996-2018), Arsenal transformed into a global powerhouse with free-flowing, technical soccer and world-class talents.

Recent history

After Wenger's departure, Arsenal struggled for identity, until Arteta arrived. He rebuilt the squad with young, dynamic players, leading them back to title contention. After three consecutive runner-up finishes, Arsenal finally won the 2025-26 Premier League: their first title in 22 years, since Wenger's unbeaten "Invincibles" of 2003-04. The title was built on defensive resilience and set-piece dominance: the league's best defensive record, David Raya's third consecutive Golden Glove, and 35 set-piece goals across all competitions: more than any club in Europe's top five leagues in the last decade. Some neutrals found the style efficient rather than thrilling, but nobody in north London is complaining.

Greatest ever player

This one is undisputed: Thierry Henry: The Frenchman is often considered the greatest Premier League player ever. You may recognize him from the CBS Champions League coverage.

The US sports doppelganger

Golden State Warriors (modern era). Beautiful, technical, team-oriented, full of youth and flair. Arteta's Arsenal, like the Warriors, built a dynasty through a clear identity, and finally have the title to prove it.

Famous fans

  • Idris Elba
  • Jay-Z
  • Dua Lipa: her dad and brother are Gooners, so she turns up at the Emirates. Liverpool fans also claim her (see their page).

Most famous moment: The Invincibles (2003-04)

They went an entire Premier League season unbeaten: the only team ever to do it. A record that may genuinely never fall. It was a side that included some Premier League greats: Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, and Thierry Henry.
