1.]  In the season of 1987\1988 Arsenal won the Milk Cup. They're first success in years. Things were looking For George and his team. They finished second only to Liverpool in the league of 1988\1989. The following season though Arsenal got some revenge on their arch rivals Liverpool; Arsenal won the league on goal difference. Michael Thomas scored in the last minute of the match. It was a glorious kick in the teeth to Liverpool who thought they were unbeatable.

The following season Arsenal went further in their ventures they Arsenal got into the Cup Winners Cup (Now an abolished tournament)
they went through every team they came across in the tournament. They beat Parma an Italian club to win the cup. When they won it they went on to play in the tournament again the following season. If they won this cup again they would have gone down in history as the only club to win the Cup Winners Cup two years in a row. They almost did this they got to the finals, they played a Spanish side called Real Zaragoza. It would have gone into extra -time but in the last minute a fifty yard effort by a player called Nihau scored, David Seaman got his fingers to the ball, but it wasn't enough.

Arsenal in the 1997\1998 season won the Premiership league for the first time since this new division was set up in 1992. This also granted Arsenal to play in the Champions League (previously know as the European Cup) but the Champions League was a big flop for Arsenal. The following season Arsenal finished second to Manchester United only by one point because Nelson Vivas let the team down by making a stupid mistake by not keeping his eye on the ball letting a Leeds United player getting the opportunity to get the goal and the victory. That defeat caused Arsenal caused Arsenal the league title.

In Arsenal long history they have won their league title 12 times, they won the UEFA CUP 1, they won the Cup Winners Cup 1 and they won their domestic cup 7 times.
