The Arsenal

History

Arsenal are recognised as one of the giants of English football and a consistent challenger for top honours. Arsenal, under the leadership of enigmatic Frenchman Arsene Wenger, shook off their ‘boring’ image and began to serve up some of the most attractive football in the league.

Thanks in the early days to the immense influence of Tony Adams and the astute signings of players such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira – now departed for Juventus – and Freddie Ljungberg, Arsenal climbed back to the top of the pile. Their rise culminated in a second Premier League and FA Cup double in 2002, to add to their 1998 achievement.

Three runners-up finishes in the intervening years displays how the north London giants have lived up to their high standards over the last decade.

The famous old Arsenal defence has a new look these days, but the replacements, and the recruits to midfield and atack – including talented young Spaniard Jose Reyes- have done enough to assure fans that they can live up to achievements of their predecessors.

The Gunners added a third Premiership crown to Wenger’s reign as their astonishing and unprecedented unbeaten run throughout the entire 2003/04 season saw them lift the title.

The 2006/07 season saw the Gunners move away from Highbury – their home for the prevous 93 years – to the plush new Emirates Stadium.

The Club

London’s most successful Premier League club was formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich and was initially known as Dial Square before adopting the name Royal Arsenal in 1886.

Renamed Woolwich Arsenal in 1891, they moved to Highbury in 1913 and dropped the prefix. They had to wait until the 1930s for their first period of sustained success when five Division One championships were won under Herbert Chapman and George Allison.

Another pair of league throphies were lifted soon after the Second World War before further success arrived with the league and F A Cup Double in 1971. More near misses came before George Graham, a hero of 1971, was named manager in 1986 and the glory days returned.

Two league titles, two league cups and the European Cup Winner’s Cup were garnered during his nine-year reign.

Frenchman Arsene Wenger wa named Gunners boss in1996 and the roll of honour continued. A first Premier League title made uo half of the club’s second double in 1998. Their second Premier League title in 2002 – when they ended the season on a 28- game domestic unbeaten run – was also coupled with victory in the F A Cup final.

Wenger guided the Gunners to the Champions League final in 2006. Their hopes were dented by the early dismissal of goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, but Sol Campbell’s header gave the north London side a half-time advantage. However, Barcelona hit back with two late goals to clinch the title in Paris.

Minister slams Crazy Football player wages

This article appeared in the Guardian on Friday November 02 2007 on p1 of the Sport news & features section. It was last updated at 00:11 on November 02 2007.

The sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe sparked a furious row with two of England’s biggest clubs yesterday when he accused Chelsea of paying “obscene” wages to John Terry and of running an “unsustainable” business, and said that Manchester United were in danger of pricing out rank-and-file supporters.

Sutcliffe’s claims, made in his first public forum since becoming minister three months ago, prompted an angry response from both clubs, who accused him of getting his facts wrong.

Chelsea were particularly aggrieved at the minister’s comments and a senior executive from the club contacted Sutcliffe’s boss, the culture secretary James Purnell, to demand that the sports minister be forced to retract his remarks.

Sutcliffe told delegates at the FT Sports Industry Summit yesterday morning that Terry earns £150,000 a week, that Chelsea are “£250m in the red” and that United had increased ticket prices by 13%. Both clubs disputed his figures. Chelsea would not confirm Terry’s wage but he is understood to earn closer to £130,000. The club’s losses last year were £80m, while United’s average season-ticket rise this season was 10.87%.

A spokesman for the sports minister was later forced to clarify his position: “The minister accepts that his figures may not have been 100% accurate, but he stands by the wider point that he was making.”

In a wide-ranging address to delegates Sutcliffe said football was in danger of losing touch with ordinary fans, and cited some of the excesses of wages and ticket-price increases in the Premier League as evidence to support his case.

“The amount of money that players earn is obscene,” he said. “Good luck to John Terry but the ordinary man in the street can’t relate to that sort of money. Chelsea are £250m in the red and they may be able to cope with that but it’s not the real world. £250m in the red is not sustainable.

“This year Manchester United increased their season tickets by 13% and said fans have automatically to buy European and Carling Cup games as well, and that costs an extra £200. That’s taking the game away from the ordinary grass-roots supporter.

“Ordinary working people who want to go and see Manchester United face being priced out. There is a danger that there will be a move away from the game and we don’t want to be in a position where people are alienated.”

Chelsea were furious. Club sources said it was inappropriate for the minister to attack the England captain in the week that the government had pledged its support to a World Cup bid, and disputed his assessment of the financial position.

Chelsea made a loss of £80m for last year and £140m for the year before, but is committed to breaking even by 2010. Sources close to the minister said he was referring to the combined figure when he talked about the club being “in the red” but that still leaves him £30m out, and thanks to the largesse of Roman Abramovich Chelsea has no debt.

United’s chief executive David Gill was also dismissive of Sutcliffe’s argument, maintaining that the average season-ticket price rise last season was 10.87%. Appearing at the conference later in the day Gill said: “He’s obviously speaking without knowing all the facts. We take a lot of time about these issues and our prices are reasonable at between £25-£45.”

The dispute over figures overshadowed what was an otherwise reasoned analysis of the state of British sport. While his attack on the excesses of the modern game was clearly calculated to stir debate, the minister insisted that he was a “critical friend” of the game.

In response to a request from Football League chairman, Lord Mawhinney, Sutcliffe is to ask the insolvency services to examine issues surrounding offshore trusts and their involvement in football. Leeds United are among clubs whose ultimate ownership structure is opaque, and the minister will ask the service to examine whether it is possible for trusts to be subject to the fit-and-proper-persons test applied to domestic owners.

Success fact

By age 14, Rooney was playing for Everton’s under-19 lineup. At 17, he catapulted into England’s highest division, and suddenly the cameras were enamored. Rumors swirled about Roon, and the pundits and talking heads touted him England’s new shining star, the St. George who would slay the dragon of English soccer disappointment.

While this was quite a set of expectations to live up to, Rooney’s no mental midget. He took these expectations and surpassed them, and was crowned the youngest player ever in the national squad, the youngest goal scorer in the Premiership and the youngest scorer in the European Cup in the process.

Clearly, Everton couldn’t lay claim to Rooney for long. In the brutally capitalistic European soccer business, the teams with the bling have the power, and the blingiest of them all, Man U, called dibs. The transfer made Rooney the second most-expensive player in England. All before he turned 20.

Wayne Rooney in his 1st success in Everton

While Rooney’s performance in his professional debut was impressive, his first goal would come under much more splendid circumstances. The afternoon of October 19, 2002, saw Everton pitted against Arsenal, a powerful team that was enjoying a 30-game unbeaten streak. Rooney was sent in to replace Tomaz Radzinski in the dying moments of the game. In the final minute, he found the underside of the crossbar off a Thomas Gravesen pass, winning the game for Everton and shattering Arsenal’s streak.

If this wasn’t glory enough, this goal made Rooney, at age 16, the youngest scorer in the history of the Premiership (his record was later broken by James Milner of Leeds United).

This was only the first record that the Liverpudlian would break. One year later, in 2003, 17-year-old Rooney became the youngest player to represent England. Seven months later, he became the youngest to score for his country, in a Euro 2004 qualifier against Macedonia.

Wayne Rooney joins Manchester United

Newcastle eventually dropped their bid and, on August 31, 2004, Rooney announced that he would join the most profitable soccer team on Earth. Man. U. acquired the services of the young star for six years, at a cost of roughly £31 million (over $61 million US/$192 million Malaysian Ringgit) including wages. This sum made him one of the most expensive players in the country. Rooney does, however, have the honour of being the most expensive teenage footballer ever, being a few weeks short of his 19th birthday when Manchester United signed him.

Rooney debuted for Old Trafford in a Champions League game against Fenerbahce on September 28, 2004, and immediately proved his worth by scoring his first professional hat trick.

At the international level, Rooney is set to succeed Paul Scholes at the head of the England attack. This makes him, by default, the most scrutinized player in the country.
