On our way to the title. Highest scorers best defense, five points clear. Great times. When did Arsenal drop "The"?.

Then 50 goals for after 23 games
Now 9 from 17
So all we need is about 7 in each of the next games to catchup!

Only two of those teams have never been top flight in the Premier League era and one of those two no longer exist as a professional outfit.

I never knew it was officially their name but some still refer to them as The Arsenal.

Because that's exactly where the team was formed by workers based at the weapons and munitions store (arsenal) originally based in Woolwich, south of the river. Hence "The Gunners" emblem, even after they moved to north London and dropped Woolwich from their name.
