Stadium aNd CoStum


Emirates Stadium
The Emirates Stadium is a football stadium located on Ashburton Grove in Holloway, north London, and the home of Arsenal Football Club since it opened in July 2006. The stadium has an all-seated capacity of 60,355,[2] making it the second largest stadium in the Premier League after Old Trafford, and the third-largest stadium of any kind in London, after Wembley and Twickenham. During the planning and construction stages, it was known as Ashburton Grove before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004. The stadium project cost £430 million, but this includes the cost of the associated infrastructure as well as the stadium itself.

The need for a new stadium
Arsenal started looking to develop a larger stadium during the later part of the 1990s, as their existing ground at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419[15] when it became all-seater in 1993, which was lower than the stadium capacities of almost every other European football club of comparable stature. There was little room for expansion as the East Stand backed directly onto the pavement of a public road and the other three backed onto housing; in addition the East Stand is a Grade II listed building. Arsenal had a season ticket waiting list which had been closed for some time with over 20,000 members, and were missing out on a great deal of potential revenue. However, finding a site for a new stadium in London was extremely difficult.
The club were willing to consider a location close to the M25 motorway if necessary, but had a strong preference for a location in the London Borough of Islington close to Highbury. At one stage they had considered moving to Wembley Stadium (Arsenal had played Champions League games at the old Wembley Stadium during the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 seasons) but in the end pulled out of the plans.[16] When the Wembley revamp was given the go-ahead in 2002, there was speculation that Arsenal and Tottenham would move into the new stadium when it was finished, even though the club was pressing ahead with the Ashburton Grove project by this stage.

swejarah arsenal


Arsenal F.C
Arsenal Football Club (dikenal pula sebagai Arsenal atau The Gunners) adalah klub sepak bola profesional Inggris yang berbasis di daerah London Utara, London. Klub ini kini bermain di Liga Utama Inggris dan merupakan salah satu klub tersukses dalam sejarah persepakbolaan Inggris. Arsenal juga merupakan anggota kelompok G-14 yang terdiri dari klub-klub besar sepak bola di Eropa.



Sejarah klub

Era 1886-1980
Arsenal didirikan di daerah Woolwich, bagian tenggara kota London pada 1886 dengan nama Dial Square, lalu dengan cepat berganti nama menjadi Royal Arsenal. Tahun 1891 nama mereka diganti menjadi Woolwich Arsenal. Pada tahun 1913, klub ini pindah ke wilayah utara, tepatnya di daerah Highbury dan membangun Stadion Highbury, yang menjadi markas baru mereka. Saat pindah lokasi itulah, nama depan klub mereka, yaitu Woolwich dihapus sehingga hanya nama Arsenal yang tersisa. Selain itu karena lokasi stadion Arsenal dekat dengan markas Tottenham Hotspur, maka tak heran jika pertandingan Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur disebut "North London derby" dan merupakan salah satu derby terpanas di London.
Kejayaan Arsenal di persepakbolaan Inggris pertama kali diawali oleh pelatih Herbert Chapman yang melatih pada rentang tahun 1925-35 dan berhasil menjuarai beberapa kompetisi domestik Inggris (Piala FA, titel Liga Utama, dan Charity Shield) sekaligus mendominasinya dan menjadikan Arsenal sebagai kekuatan paling dominan di Inggris saat itu. Pada rentang 1940an-1960an, Arsenal hanya dapat menambah sedikit koleksi gelar domestiknya. Pada awal 1970an, Arsenal berhasil prestasi terbaik Arsenal di Eropa pertama kali yang terjadi pada musim 1969-70, di ajang Fairs Cup (pendahulu dari Piala UEFA). Arsenal menjadi juara untuk pertama kalinya dan sekaligus terakhir di ajang Fairs Cup (Fairs Cup diganti Piala UEFA sejak musim 1971-72) setelah berhasil mengalahkan klub R.S.C. Anderlecht dengan agregat 4-3 (dengan sistem home and away) Saat itu, klub ini dilatih oleh Bertie Mee.Sepanjang tahun 1980an, Arsenal berhasil menambah koleksi Arsenal dengan beberapa gelar domestik, tapi tidak dengan gelar dari kompetisi EroPA .
Era 1990-sekarang
Di tahun 1991, Arsenal menjadi juara bersama dengan Tottenham di Community Shield setelah hasil kedudukan imbang 0-0 (saat itu, jika kedudukan seri maka kedua tim dianggap juara) . Puasa Arsenal akan gelar dari kompetisi Eropa akhirnya hilang setelah pada musi 1993-94, ditangan pelatih George Graham, Arsenal kembali juara di kancah Eropa, tepatnya di ajang Piala Winners setelah mengalahkan klub Parma FC dengan skor 1-0. Pada musim berikutnya, Arsenal kembali berhasil ke fina di ajang yang sama, tapi kali ini mereka dikalahkan oleh Real Zaragoza dengan skor 2-1.
Kedatangan pelatih Arsène Wenger ke Arsenal pada tahun 1996 berhasil membuat Arsenal kembali berjaya dan berhasil merusak dominasi Manchester United di Liga Utama Inggris pada saat itu. Arsenal pun dibawanya berhasil menjadi runner-up di ajang Piala UEFA pada tahun 2000 setelah melawan Galatasaray lewat adu penalti 4-1 setelah kedudukan imbang. Pada musim 2003-04 hingga awal musim 2004-05, Arsenal berhasil mencetak rekor 49 pertandingan tak terkalahkan dan mematahkan rekor milik Nottingham Forest F.C. (42 kali) yang merupakan rekor tak terkalahkan terpanjang di dalam sejarah sepakbola Inggris. Pada musim 2005-06, Arsenal kembali meraih prestasi di kancah Eropa dengan menjadi finalis Liga Champions setelah dikalahkan FC Barcelona 2-1 di Stade de France, Paris.
Arsenal di masa kepelatihan Wenger mempunyai kebijakan yang bagus dalam pembinaan pemain-pemain muda yang tadinya tidak berkualitas maupun pemain berkualitas tapi kurang dikenal menjadi pemain yang mampu menunjukan telenta-talenta yang sangat luar biasa sekaligus diincar klub papan atas Eropa. Selain itu, Arsenal mempunyai kebijakan pemberian kontrak pada pemain yang telah berumur 30 tahun keatas, yaitu tidak lebih dari satu musim saja.

Stadion
Sejak berdiri, Arsenal beberapa kali pindah stadion. Mulai dari memakai sebuah lapangan di Woolwich yang bernama Manor Ground, lalu pindah ke London Utara, sekaligus membangun Stadion Highbury dan dipakai pertama kali dipakai pada tahun 1913. Stadion ini dipakai Arsenal hingga pada musim 2005/06 (atau berusia kurang lebih 93 tahun). Pertandingan terakhir yang digelar di Stadion Highbury adalah Liga Utama Inggris, yaitu Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic yang berhasil dimenangkan oleh Arsenal dengan skor 4-2 dengan tiga gol dari Thierry Henry. Stadion ini diganti, dikarenakan kapasitasnya yang terlalu kecil dibanding stadion klub-klub lain, seperti Chelsea F.C..
Sejak bulan Juli 2006 sampai sekarang, klub ini menempati markas barunya, Stadion Emirates yang berkapasitas 60.500 kursi dan terletak di Ashburton Grove dan peresmian pemakaian Stadion Emirates sekaligus pertandingan pertama yang digelar adalah dengan diadakannya sebuah pertandingan persahabatan antara Arsenal dengan para pemain legenda Belanda untuk perpisahan Dennis Bergkamp, seorang mantan penyerang Arsenal.

tHe GuNnERs Coach






Arsène Wenger OBE[ (born October 22, 1949 in Strasbourg) is a French football manager, in charge of Arsenal Football Club since 1996. He is the most successful manager in the history of Arsenal in terms of trophies, but he is also the club's longest-serving manager in terms of matches played (exactly 650 as of 12th January 2008). Wenger is the only non-British manager to win the Double in England, having done so in 1998 and 2002. In 2004, he became the only manager in FA Premier League history to go through the entire season without defeat. Wenger is widely regarded as one of the world's best managers after the success he has enjoyed at AS Monaco FC and Arsenal. Wenger has a degree in engineering and a Master's degree in economics from Strasbourg University and is fluent in French, Alsatian, German and English; he also speaks some Italian, Spanish and Japanese


Personal life
Born in Strasbourg, Arsène Wenger grew up in nearby village Duttlenheim as the son of Alphonse Wenger and wife Louise with an older sister and brother. The parents owned an automobile spare-parts business in Strasbourg, but also a bistro in Duttlenheim called La Croix d'Or. He spent much of his youth playing football and organizing matches at the village team, FC Duttlenheim, where he made the first team at 16 and was later recruited to nearby club AS Mutzig. Wenger has a wife and a daughter and lives in Totteridge, London


Managerial career

Wenger's first senior management job was at Nancy, which he joined in 1984, but he enjoyed little success there: during his third and final season in charge, Nancy finished 19th and were relegated to the Ligue 2. His managerial career took off when he became the manager of AS Monaco in 1987. He won the league in 1988 (his first season in charge) and the French Cup in 1991, and signed high-calibre players such as Glenn Hoddle, George Weah and Jürgen Klinsmann. He also signed 23-year old Youri Djorkaeff from RC Strasbourg; the future World Cup winner finished joint top goalscorer in Ligue 1 (with 20 goals) during Wenger's final season in France. Wenger turned down approaches by Bayern Munich and the France national team out of loyalty for Monaco, only to be fired after a poor start to the 1994-95 season.
He moved on to a successful 18-month stint with the Japanese J. League team Nagoya Grampus Eight, with whom he won the Emperor's Cup, the national cup competition. He also took the club from the bottom three to runners-up position in the league. At Grampus, he hired former Valenciennes manager Boro Primorac, whom he had met during the 1993 match-fixing scandal involving Olympique de Marseille, as his assistant; he would remain Wenger's "right-hand man" for years to come.
Wenger had in the meantime become a friend of the then Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein, after the two had met when Wenger attended a match between Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers in 1988. After Bruce Rioch was sacked in August 1996, Gérard Houllier, the then technical director of the French Football Federation, recommended Wenger to David Dein in the summer of 1996. Arsenal confirmed his appointment on September 28, 1996, and he officially took up the reins on October 1. Wenger was Arsenal's first manager from outside the UK. Though he had previously been touted as a potential technical director of the Football Association, at the time Wenger was a relative unknown in England.
Even before he formally took control of the team, Wenger had started to shape the Arsenal squad, having requested that the club sign French midfielders Patrick Vieira and Rémi Garde a month before he took charge. His first match in charge was a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers on October 12, 1996. Arsenal finished third in Wenger's first season, missing out on second place (occupied by Newcastle United), and hence Champions League qualification, on goal difference.
In his second season in charge (1997-98), Arsenal won both the Premiership and FA Cup, the second Double in the club's history; it came after Arsenal made up a twelve point deficit on Manchester United to win the League title with two games to spare. Key to the success was the inherited defence of Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon and Martin Keown, along with striker Dennis Bergkamp as well as a blend of Wenger's new signings: Emmanuel Petit as a partner for Patrick Vieira, winger Marc Overmars, and teenage striker Nicolas Anelka.
The following few seasons were comparatively barren with a series of near misses. In 1998-99, they lost the Premiership title to Manchester United by a single point on the final day of the season, and United also eliminated Arsenal in extra time in an FA Cup semi-final. This was followed the next season by losing the UEFA Cup Final to Galatasaray on penalties and the 2001 FA Cup Final to Liverpool 2-1. Wenger resolved to bring new players to the squad, with the controversial signing of Tottenham's Sol Campbell as well as first-team players such as Fredrik Ljungberg, Thierry Henry and Robert Pirès.
The new signings would help Wenger's Arsenal achieve the double once more in 2001-02. The crowning moment was the second to last game of the season, against Manchester United; Arsenal won 1-0 in a game, which Arsenal are seen to have generally outplayed Manchester United. Arsenal went the whole season unbeaten away from home and scored in every single Premier League game that season, and completed the Double by beating Chelsea 2-0 with goals from Ray Parlour and Fredrik Ljungberg.
After a strong start to the 2002-03 season, Arsenal had looked as though they were going to retain the Premier League crown for the first time in their history. At one point Arsenal had led eventual winners Manchester United by eight points, but their form collapsed late on in the season; Manchester United overhauled the Gunners in the latter stage of the season to win the title, as Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead against Bolton Wanderers to draw 2-2 and then lost the title at home to Leeds United.
Arsenal were compensated with an FA Cup win in 2003, and the following season made history by winning the 2003-04 Premiership title in 2004 without a single loss, the first top-flight team to manage this feat since Preston North End in 1888-89. Throughout the undefeated campaign of 2003-04 Wenger was so busy that he never even had time to eat lunch[citation needed]. A year earlier, Wenger had been derided for saying it was possible Arsenal could go unbeaten in an entire season.
With another FA Cup win in 2005, in all, Arsenal have won three Premier League titles and four FA Cups under Wenger, making him Arsenal's most successful manager in terms of trophies. However, the UEFA Champions League title still eludes him; the closest Arsenal have come was when they reached the final in 2005-06, the first time in club history, which they lost 2-1 to Barcelona.
In October 2004, he signed a contract extension that would keep him at Arsenal through the 2007-08 season. The then Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein stated Wenger has a "job for life" at Arsenal, and had planned to offer Wenger a role on the Arsenal board once he has retired as a manager.Wenger's future as manager was thrust into question when David Dein left the Arsenal board on April 18, 2007. However on the 6 September 2007, Wenger agreed to sign a new three-year contract at Arsenal.
