[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Still playing
  2. ^ Arsenal beat Clapton Orient 15-2 in a wartime cup tie on February 8, 1941, but this is not counted as an official first-class match.
  3. ^ Unusually, Arsenal were forced to play two matches on the same day on 12 December 1896; while the first team took on Leyton in the FA Cup, the reserves were fielded against Loughborough Town in the League, accounting for such a heavy loss.
  4. ^ Arsenal lost 9-0 to Chelsea in a wartime London Combination match on April 21, 1916, but this is not counted as an official first-class match.
  5. ^ The capacity of the stadium (60,000) had been deliberately reduced to 54,000 for the match; as a condition of the safety licences, three non-capacity events, of which the Ajax match was one, had to be held at the stadium before a full-capacity events could be permitted.
