Arsenal history: where it all began

The history of Arsenal begins not with a big arena, but with a small workshop. The club was created by workmen of the arsenal in Woolwich - hence the name. In the early years, the team played mostly for themselves and local spectators, but gradually established themselves in London football.

In 1913 the club moved to a new stadium — Highbury — and began to write major pages in the history of the English game.

The real transformation came in the 30s when the team was led by Herbert Chapman. It was he who made Arsenal a leader — tactically, physically, mentally. In those years, the club won title after title and introduced new methods, which were later used by everyone.

In the post-war period successes alternated with pauses, but Arsenal always remained in the game. In the 90s everything changed — Arsene Wenger came. The Frenchman who brought to London not only new football, but also new vision.

\n
\"With him, the team played brightly, elegantly, quickly. In 2004, the Gunners went the entire season in the Premier League without a single defeat.\"
\n

It was not just a championship - it was a football work of art.

After Wenger the club had a difficult period. New coaches, change of generations, restructuring. But now, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal once again look like a team that wants more than just being in the table.

He wants to become champion again - not because he has stars, but because he found his idea again.

Arsenal stadium

For many years, the heart of Arsenal was Highbury — cozy, compact, with narrow stands and character. It felt like the field was meeting the fans. But time passed, and the club needed a new arena.

This is how Emirates appeared — a modern stadium with more than 60,000 seats, opened in 2006.

Emirates is not as atmospheric as Highbury, but it became the foundation for a new era. Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie played here, and now Saka, Edegore, Rice. In this stadium, Arsenal was looking for itself and, it seems, found.

\n
\"At the Emirates, everything is built for comfort: space, sound, view. But most importantly, it has preserved the voice of Arsenal.\"
\n

On big match days, when the stadium is singing, when the tension is in the air, it becomes clear: this is not just a building. This is a new home.

\n
And also — two European Cup finals: 1994 Cup Winners' Cup, won against Parma, and Champions League 2006, when Arsenal put up a decent fight with Barcelona.
\n

\n
\"But Arsenal's achievements are not just about trophies. It's about the game. The style. The dedication to the idea.\"
\n

When a team builds an attack from the defender's first pass and leads it to a shot, the fans know that this is our football.

Brentford: a football revolution with intelligence

Brentford is a London club that for a long time did not attract much attention, but suddenly began to change the perception of modern football. Founded in 1889, this club from west London has long been \"own for its own\" - with narrow stands, a modest budget and loyal fans.

Today, Brentford is no longer just a pretty underdog, but a well-organized, intelligent team that gives a fight even to the top teams. Not because he spends more — but because he thinks better.

\n
\"Brentford proves that to be competitive in the Premier League, you don't have to spend millions — you just have to have a system and a mind.\"

Brentford history

For a long time, the story of Brentford was written without loud headlines. The club played in lower English leagues, changed coaches, stadiums, structure, but always remained a part of local culture.

In the 1930s, the team rose to the First Division, but after the World War II they went down again and settled for a long time in League 1 and League 2 - effectively the third and fourth tiers of English football.

Everything began to change in 2012, when the club bought Matthew Benham — an analyst who decided to build football on data, not intuition. Since then, Brentford began to select players based on statistics, hire coaches with a modern vision and even rejected the classic academy.

In 2021 the club entered the Premier League for the first time in history via the play-offs, after several dramatic attempts. This became a recognition of the built system: the team not only remained in the elite, but also began to confidently beat big rivals.
