For the History of Arsenal and the daily Arsenal video of a great historic match you might enjoy the daily blog of the Arsenal History Society
This daily blog was started in January 2008, and as the name is intended to suggest we try to cover issues that do not get fulsome coverage in other blogs or publications, and where we are covering the same ground as others, try to do so from a different perspective. A list of the most recent articles is given on the left under “Recent posts”.
Among the many campaigns and research projects we have run across the years I’d probably pick out these as being of interest…
160 games analysed – in which three researchers analysed the first 160 games of one PL season from the point of view of referee errors, and presented the evidence in videos. It is a project that has, as far as we know, never been attempted or replicated anywhere else. However it was picked up by the BBC and their report is included in this page on Corruption.
The Untold Banner: a group of readers of Untold who supported what we are doing, liaised with Arsenal FC, and raised funding, so that a banner of our choosing could be erected at the Clock End of the ground. The video of Match of the Day focussing on our banner is now shown on that page.
The 25 player rule and the drive to allow fewer foreigners into the Premier League has long been the agenda of the FA. But we undertook the research to see if countries that have done well on the international stage have followed the FA’s desired approach of banning foreigners, or whether there was another factor at play. It turn out that there was indeed another factor involved. The fairly simple research that established this was first published in Untold in 2010 and has since been republished (without acknowledgement) in the Daily Telegraph in August 2013. The Guardian has also picked up on the theme.
