The locker room burst into laughter, and there was hope in the laughter, as well as the pride of what had been glorious.

The Arsenal was founded in 1886 by a group of workers from a weapons factory called the "Royal Arsenal" in Dale Square, in the Woolwich area of South East London.

The first match was played on December 11, 1886, with a 6-0 win over the Eastern Wanderers.

On Christmas Day 25 December 1886, the team changed its name to "Real Arsenal". Initially, Real Arsenal had been playing friendly matches on various occasions or participating in local cup competitions.

In 1891, the club was reformed to become a professional club, and was once again renamed "Woolwich Arsenal", and in 1893, the team joined the Football League as a second division team.

In 1913, Arsenal moved to Highbury Stadium and remained there for 93 years, before officially changing its name to Arsenal.

In Arsina? Before Arsene Wenger's arrival, the greatest coach in Arsenal's history was Herbert? Chapman, it was he who gave the Gunners their first taste of the championship.

In 1925, Chapman took over as Arsenal manager. Five years later, in 1930, Chapman led the team all the way to the FA Cup final, beating old rivals Hosfield FC to lift the FA Cup, the first in Arsenal's history.

In the 30s of the 20th century, Arsenal ushered in the first era that could be called a dynasty. In 1930-31, Arsenal won the First Division title for the first time, and from 1933 to 1935, the Gunners dominated the league for three consecutive seasons, scoring a "hat-trick".

In the history of English football, only four teams have accomplished such feats!

But to the Arsenal's grief, the Shaffield United-born manager who gave the Gunners one of the earliest glory days was saddened by the death of the decorated manager Chapman in 1934.

Chapman, who had managed Leeds Hosfield Town, was a very advanced coaching philosophy at the time, when Arsenal's 334 formation, or 'WM', was at its most effective in Chapman's hands, scoring a club-record 127 goals in one season.

Chapman died at the age of 55 and to commemorate his exploits, Arsenal erected a bronze statue of Chapman at Highbury Stadium.

After Chapman's death, George? Alisson took over and Arsenal's glory continues.

In 1936, the Gunners won the FA Cup again, and in 1938 they won the league.

In the first season of the 70s, Arsenal made a historic breakthrough when they won both the league and the FA Cup. In that Gunners, with Charlie? George, George? Armstrong, Rey? Kennedy and Captain Frank? McClintock.

Arsenal won the league title at White Hart Lane, home of local rivals Tottenham, before beating Liverpool in extra-time in the final at Wembley to lift the FA Cup.

Betty, the head coach who created the double glory? Mi became head of Arsenal in 1966, resigned in 1976 and later joined Graham in 1978. Taylor became an assistant coach at Watford.

In Betty? Miyu's successor, Terry? Under Neil, Arsenal continued their success in the English FA Cup. In the late 70s, the Gunners dominated the FA Cup for three consecutive seasons.

The following year, they beat Manchester United 3-2 in the final, a game that went down in history for successive goals in the final period and drama, dubbed the "five-minute final".

In 1986, George? Graham was appointed as Arsenal manager and built the Gunners into a dominant team in the late 80s and early 90s.

Graham played for Arsenal as a player, and was part of the 1971 Double-winning squad. He had been in charge of Millwall for the previous three years, taking the team to the next level when he arrived at Arsenal.

Graham ruled the army in the iron bowl and created an Arsenal team with a strong style of play and a tough style of play.

In 1986/87, Graham won the first English League Cup in the club's history, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the final. Two years later, Arsenal snatched the league title from Liverpool, the English overlord at the time.

In the 1988-89 season, Arsenal followed leaders Liverpool all the way, and in the final round of the league, the two teams faced each other directly at Liverpool's home stadium, Anfield, in a battle to decide the league title.

The pre-match situation was that Arsenal would have to beat Liverpool by two goals to snatch the title away from their opponents.

Faced with having John? Barnes, Ian? Rush and a group of talented players of the Reds, and at Anfield, Arsenal striker Michael? Thomas scored a legendary goal with a solo effort as the league title changed hands in an instant and Arsenal made history in the final minute title.

In the late 80s and early 90s, when Liverpool were in decline and Manchester United were yet to ascend to the throne, Arsenal became England's most feared force during this period.

In 1990/91, Graham led the team to the league title again in 1990/91 after an incredible last-ditch comeback victory, with the Gunners' defensive four leaving teams frustrated.

In the entire 1990-91 season, Arsenal lost just one league game!

In 1992/93, Arsenal became the first team to win two cup titles in the same season, beating Sheffield Wednesday in both the FA Cup and League Cup finals.

The following 1993/94 season saw the glory of the Graham era continue on the European stage, with Arsenal going all the way to the European Cup Winners' Cup and beating Italian giants Parma 1-0 in the final.

This moment represents the culmination of Arsenal under Graham.

In the first half of the 1996-97 season, Arsenal welcomed the first foreign manager in the club's history - Arsèna? Wenger!

The Frenchman made the switch from Japan's Nagoya Whales, and the elegant Frenchman quickly brought glory to Arsenal: in 1997/98, Arsene Wenger's first full season as manager, he led Arsenal to the Premier League and FA Cup!

The magic of the 1970-71 season was repeated, for the second time in the club's history.

After taking over, Arsene Wenger revamped the team, and Dutchman Dennis, who joined in 1996, was reinforced. Bergkamp played an important role, winning the Players League Player of the Year and the Journalists' Association of the Best in the Double.

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger's compatriot Emmanuel? Petit, Patrick? Patrick Vieira arrived, and the players who helped France win the 1998 World Cup built a strong French gang at Arsenal.

In the same season, Arsenal said goodbye to striker legend Ian? Wright, who left a club record of 185 goals.

For the next three seasons, Arsenal finished runners-up in the Premier League every year, behind Manchester United. And in the cup competition, Arsenal also had an active performance.

In 2000, Arsenal reached the final of the UEFA Cup, but unfortunately lost to Turkey's Galatasaray on penalties.

The following year, they lost 2-1 to Liverpool in the FA Cup final. Two goals from Owen completed the comeback. Also in 2001, Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, but were eliminated by Valencia.

In the 2001/02 season, Arsenal launched a counter-attack against Manchester United after three years of surrender. This season, Arsene Wenger led his side to another double - the Premier League and the FA Cup!

In the English FA Cup, Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0.

In the Premier League, they have created a proud record of 13 consecutive wins, and they are unbeaten away from home all season!

On 8 May 2002, Arsenal sealed the Premier League title early by beating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford, and in the heyday of the United dynasty, Arsenal were the only force to compete with the Red Devils.

In the 2002/03 season, Arsenal were in good shape in the Premier League, but were eventually overtaken by Manchester United.

However, in the same year, Arsenal won the FA Cup, becoming the first team to defend the title since 1982.

In this season, Thierry? Thierry Henry's meteoric ascent has been remarkable, as he has gone from being an unstable, tan-tempered youngster when he first arrived at Highbury to one of the most fearsome attackers in the Premier League.

In 2003, Thierry was also voted the best player in both the English Players League and the Journalists' Association.

The 2003/04 season was a season for Arsenal to be proud of, as they won the 13th league trophy in the club's history!

Throughout the season, Arsenal have gone on a surging run and are unbeaten in the Premier League, creating a startling myth. At the end of the 2003/04 season, Arsenal won the title with 90 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.

In August 2004, Arsenal broke the record held by the former Nottingham Forest and created a new myth of 49 consecutive league games unbeaten in the English top flight!

The following seasons of 2004-05 and 2005-06 followed with Roman? Roman Abramovich's arrival and Chelsea's rise have given Arsenal a new challenge, with the Blues winning back-to-back Premier League titles and Arsenal winning just one FA Cup.

However, in the 2005-06 season, the rise of young people gave Arsenal a new lease of hope. Cesc Fabregas and a number of other young talents grew rapidly and reached the Champions League final with the team.

Although they lost 2-1 to Barcelona in La Liga, it became the closest the Gunners Arsenal have come to the top of Europe.

In July 2006, Arsenal FC bid farewell to the honoured Highbury Stadium and moved into the modern Emirates Stadium.

The new stadium has brought better resources and services to the team and fans, but it has also left the club with huge debts. Although the team has been able to secure a Champions League place every year, they have never been able to lift another trophy.

Frenchman Thierry Henry left Barcelona for the Champions League title in this situation, and Arsenal's strength was weakened.
