Facts ?
Arsenal Football Club is a professional football club based in Islington, London, England.
Arsenal plays in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
In Emery's first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League.
On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach.
Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994-95, but beat Chelsea 2-1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win.
On 18 April 2021, Arsenal were announced as a founding club of the breakaway European competition The Super League; they withdrew from the competition two days later amid near-universal condemnation.
Arsenal finished the season in eighth place once again, not qualifying for a European competition for the first time in 26 years.
Crests of Arsenal F.C. Unveiled in 1888, Royal Arsenal's first crest featured three cannons viewed from above, pointing northwards, similar to the coat of arms of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich.
Because of the numerous revisions of the crest, Arsenal were unable to copyright it.
Although the club had managed to register the crest as a trademark, and had fought a long legal battle with a local street trader who sold "Unofficial" Arsenal merchandise, Arsenal eventually sought a more comprehensive legal protection.
The new crest was criticised by some supporters; the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association claimed that the club had ignored much of Arsenal's history and tradition with such a radical modern design, and that fans had not been properly consulted on the issue.
In the 2011-12 season, Arsenal celebrated their 125th anniversary.
Regardless of which story is true, the red and white shirts have come to define Arsenal and the team have worn the combination ever since, aside from two seasons.
In the 2008-09 season, Arsenal replaced the traditional all-white sleeves with red sleeves with a broad white stripe.

In the 2008-09 season, Arsenal replaced the traditional all-white sleeves with red sleeves with a broad white stripe.
In 1909, Sparta Prague adopted a dark red kit like the one Arsenal wore at the time; in 1938, Hibernian adopted the design of the Arsenal shirt sleeves in their own green and white strip.
In 1968 the FA banned navy shirts so in the 1969-70 season, Arsenal introduced an away kit of yellow shirts with blue shorts.
Arsenal reached the FA Cup final again the following year wearing the red and white home strip and were beaten by Leeds United.
Arsenal then competed in three consecutive FA Cup finals between 1978 and 1980 wearing their "Lucky" yellow and blue strip, which remained the club's away strip until the release of a green and navy away kit in 1982-83.
The following season, Arsenal returned to the yellow and blue scheme, albeit with a darker shade of blue than before.
Since the advent of the lucrative replica kit market, the away kits have been changed regularly, with Arsenal usually releasing both away and third choice kits.
Before joining the Football League, Arsenal played briefly on Plumstead Common, then at the Manor Ground in Plumstead, then spent three years between 1890 and 1893 at the nearby Invicta Ground.
Arsenal continued to play their home games there for the next twenty years, until the move to north London in 1913.
Widely referred to as Highbury, Arsenal Stadium was the club's home from September 1913 until May 2006.
The Taylor Report and Premier League regulations obliged Arsenal to convert Highbury to an all-seater stadium in time for the 1993-94 season, thus reducing the capacity to 38,419 seated spectators.
After considering various options, in 2000 Arsenal proposed building a new 60,361-capacity stadium at Ashburton Grove, since named the Emirates Stadium, about 500 metres south-west of Highbury.
Virtually all home matches sell out; in 2007-08 Arsenal had the second-highest average League attendance for an English club, and, as of 2015, the third-highest all-time average attendance.
Arsenal have the seventh highest average attendance of European football clubs only behind Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Schalke.
