About West Ham United Football Club

West Ham United Manager

West Ham’s current manager is Italian Gianfranco Zola, who won great acclaim in English football as an attacking midfielder and forward for Chelsea in years previous. Zola was well known for his aggressive, dedicated offensive play and his creativity and technical prowess with the ball. He became West Ham’s manager at the beginning of the past season(08-09) and his positive effects became quickly evident, with a focus on creative passing, quick-thinking tactical play and positive, attack-heavy football showing through and bringing new life to a famous and storied team.

West Ham United is an English football club based in the borough of Newham in East London. They currently play in the English Premier League, having finished 9th at the end of the 08/09 season.

The club was formed originally in 1895 by the workers of Thames Ironworks under its original name, Thames Ironworks FC. The team remained an amateur group for the next few years, achieving considerable success. They won the first West Ham Charity Cup in 1895, a tournament of local teams, and the London League in 1897.

West Ham played in the new Division 1 during the Premiership’s inaugural season in 1992-93, finished in second and was promoted to the Premier League for the following season, where it has remained with the exception of the ‘03-’04 season.

West Ham United Stadium

The Hammers play at the Boleyn Ground, more commonly called Upton Park after the area of East London in which it is located. The stadium has been their home since 1912, when the team established themselves at the grounds of the old Green Street House, which was known also as Boleyn Castle due to its size and association with Anne Boleyn. This later became known as the Boleyn Ground. The stadium seats 35,303 at top capacity and is arranged in the familiar rectangular design of English football grounds, with tiered seating sections outlining the field at right angles to one another. The second world war had its effects shown in East London when a German V-1 rocket struck the stadium in August of 1944, fortunately while the park was unoccupied. The team played all of its games away until December when its repairs were completed.

In 1898 Thames Ironworks FC became a professional team, joining the old Southern League’s second division, and ascending to first division shortly thereafter. Due to internal problems the team disbanded, but reformed as West Ham United in July of 1900.

West Ham’s youth system is also well-renowned and has brought a number of prominent British players to light, resulting in the other descriptive nickname for the club, The Academy of Football.

In honor of its origins as a group of iron workers the team is referred to by the nicknames The Hammers and The Irons, and the club crest is an image of the front of the old ironworks with a pair of crossed hammers in the forefront. The fact that the word ‘hammer’ sounds like ‘ham’ is simply a fortunate coincidence.

The team’s traditional colours are claret(a deep red) and light blue, the latter usually on the sleeves. The current season’s home kit features a check pattern on the shirt and blue trim rather than full sleeves for a change of pace(which helps also to differentiate their shirts from the nearly identical kit of Aston Villa), and the away shirt is a dark blue with a light blue stripe, a reference to the all-dark blue kit that was the original shirt worn by the team.

Arsenal Football Club Trivia

Arsen Wenger – Arsenal F.C. Manager.

In the illustrious history of the Red Army, no manager has coached longer or won more matches than Arsene Wenger, the French national who has been at the head of the club since 1996. A move initially met with trepidation by the local media, Wenger had to overcome the stigma of being the club’s first foreign-born manager. An attacking manager known as a purist, Wenger quickly earned the respect of former critical fans and media in his second season when he lead the Gunners to the Premier League title and won the FA Cup. A second Double followed in 2001-2002, eventually leading to one of the best seasons in the history of elite football in Europe: an undefeated season in 2003-2004, achieved only two other times at the highest level of European football. In September of 2007, Wenger signed a three-year contract to remain Arsenal’s manager.

Originally based on the southeast side of London, the club now known by supporters as the Red Army began modestly as Dial Square, formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886. Five years later the team began professional play before joining the Football League in 1893. Known since 1891 as Woolwich Arsenal, the club made the First Division in 1904 before becoming bankrupt in 1910 and moving several years later to the current location in North London, dropping the Woolwich in the process.

Former player George Graham resurrected Arsenal once again after taking over in 1986, winning six titles in eight years. Using his own brand of strict discipline, Graham adjusted on the fly from an attack-oriented manager into one relying more on defensive sets, tactics that led to the first FA Cup and League Cup double in 1992-1993. Graham lost his job after accepting an illegal payment from a Norwegian agent who had handled the transfer of two players to Arsenal in 1992.

Under the guidance of Herbert Chapman and, later, Joe Shaw and George Allison, Arsenal won five League championships and two FA cups during the 1930s, the first period of dominance for the club. However, Arsenal descended into mediocrity for several decades until a brief resurgence at the end of the 1960s that included the first European trophy in club history, the UEFA Fairs Cup in 1970.

Few football clubs in the world can match the history of Arsenal, the Premier League team based in Highbury, North London. Possessing one of the largest fan bases in the world, the club appeals as much to people all over the world as it does to those from the areas around Emirates Stadium, no doubt due in large part to the appeal of all-time leading goalscorer Thierry Henry, an Arsenal fixture from 1999 to 2007.

Arsenal Stadium

For much of the club’s history, Arsenal played at Arsenal Stadium (also known as Highbury). However, reduced capacity there limited earnings and the club embarked upon designing and building a new stadium, completed in 2006. Called Emirates Stadium for its corporate sponsor, the airline company of the same name, it seats over 60,000 people, making it the fifth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom. However, many Gooners, upset over their club selling the corporate naming rights, refer to the stadium as Ashburton Grove. A roof covers the four tiers of the stadium, but leaves the pitch exposed to the elements. Known as one of the best playing surfaces in the world, the stadium also features two giant screens to allow supporters to follow the action on the pitch.
