average league position.[4] In the 1930s, they won five League Championships and two FA Cups, and another
FA Cup and two Championships after the war. In 197071, they won their first League and FA Cup
Double. George Graham and Arsne Wenger then oversaw five League titles, seven FA Cups, two more
Doubles, and a Champions League Final. Under Wenger, Arsenal also set the current top flight records for
longest win streak and longest unbeaten streak, [5]and completed a 38 match season unbeaten,
surpassing Preston North End from 115 years before.
