Arsenal is a professional football club in Great Britain and is considered among the elite of European teams. The team is based in Holloway, North London and they are affectionately referred to by their fans as "The Gunners". Fans of "The Gunners" are affectionately known as "Gooners" hence the site name - Gooner News. Arsenal is a team with a long history and a deep connection to their roots. The Gunners began as Dial Square and were founded in 1886. They got their name from the company the players worked at, the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, south-east London and the team was renamed to Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. The club changed its name from the Royal Arsenal Football Club to Woolwich Arsenal Football And Athletic Company Limited when it became a limited liability company in May 1893 and then dropped the "Woolwich" a year later. Initially the team was based out of Woolwich where they were founded, but as the team grew, they moved in 1913 to the new Arsenal Stadium in Highbury. Following that they would move to the stadium currently referred to as their home stadium, The Emirates, which can hold over sixty thousand fans. The team colours are red and white, and the cannon is their symbol even still today. The cannon is the team's symbol from when the team originally arose from the armament factory, as is their nickname, The Gunners. Arsenal FC are one of the most successful clubs in English football having won 13 First Division and Premier League titles plus 10 FA Cups. Also, the Gunners are only the second side ever to finish an English top division season unbeaten (they did it in the 2003-04 season) becoming known as "the invincibles" in the process.

Any fans of The Gunners know that their long standing rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur is always making plenty of news. The same applies to their rivalry with other London teams like Chelsea, Fulham and QPR plus the big North Western teams like Manchester United and Liverpool. Now that Arsenal have balanced the books and operated to a budget over the past few years in order to pay for their new stadium, Arsene Wenger looks set to make a lot of transfer news this summer as he loosens the purse strings and adopts a much more aggressive transfer policy in Arsenal's business as evidenced by his recent purchase of Koln's Lukas Podolski who looks like he will form a formidable partnership with Robin Van Persie in Arsenal's attack. Hopefully Podolski's signing will encourage the Dutchman to resign for the Gunners as his signature is vital if Arsene Wenger hopes to attract more top talent to The Emirates and stop the exodus of stars like Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Adebayor, Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri as in past off- seasons.
