In 1915 Arsenal were promoted from Div 2 for finishing 5th the cheating bastards.

Record FA Cup wins by a single manager - George Ramsay with 6. Wenger 2nd with 5.

How many more times? George Ramsay was never manager.

Don't we have the most or second most FA cup goals.

Most goals in a single season?

We've played at Villa Park for 117 years.

They've played at their ground for 8.

Arsenal's away form is not great, mainly due to their players not being used to playing in stadiums with any kind of atmosphere.*



Ok, I made that one up but it's probably true.

I heard that in the early 30's Herbert Chapman wanted to emulate our kit style for them into their colours of red body, white sleeves to match the style of Villa's kit of claret body, blue sleeves.

Just checked on historical kit designs and that's not borne out on there. A lovely 1892 claret and blue kit is, however.

We were the first football team to install turnstiles.

Isn't it rumoured that Arsenal got their kit from us, I mean the way that the arms are a different colour to the main top for colour?

Villa had won both the League and the Cup 6 times before Arsenal won them for the first time.

Villa won the double 78 years before Arsenal.

Villa have never resorted to bribery to retain top flight football

We didn't relocate 10 miles up the road to try and find a fanbase

The Villa badge depicts a Lion rampant and consequently the Villa mascot is a Lion thus allowing the younger supporters to identify with the club.

The Arsenal badge depicts an antiquated cannon and consequently the Arsenal mascot is a dinosaur thus I don't know what.
