Untold Arsenal: Supporting the club, the manager and the team
"I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art." A Wenger
Arsenal versus Marseilles has come around, and with it the opportunity to pretty much tie up our Champions League qualification with a victory. Coming top is key in order to increase the likelihood of an easier game in the next round, but many have suggested Wenger may rotate somewhat. The obvious candidate for a breather …

By Phil Gregory After a bit of an absence, you will probably be totally ambivalent to the fact that the Untold match preview is back (though I’d like to hope otherwise!). Like the site after the vagaries of technical issues, we are here and hopefully for good this season. The soul-crushing tedium of applying for …
———————– The Christmas gift for the fan with (almost) everything ———————– By Phil Gregory After what seems like an age, our beloved Arsenal are back after the international break. Sunderland are of course the side facing us at the Emirates and are a side who have started the season poorly after throwing a lot of …
Untold Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here by Phil Gregory Well here it is: the big one, a bigger tie than the so-called top of the table clashes with Manchester Untied and Chelsea for most Arsenal fans. Many Tottenham fans felt that this could be the season they overtake Arsenal given our …

By Phil Gregory First of all, a quick apology. I am a terrible human being, and was actually supposed to blog in the aftermath of the Bolton game, having been up in the Clock End for it. In my absence, Walter put together a great post about the match, so I won’t rehash over old …

This weekend brings Bolton down to the Emirates stadium, and with the second string returning to winning ways, it’d be great if the first team could follow suit. Bolton are a strange side, with a lot of positivity surrounding Owen Coyle’s management that isn’t really borne out by the results. They came in at 14th …
After a disappointing result against Blackburn at the weekend, the hope is that the Carling Cup will offer a welcome distraction from the travails of the Premier League. Certainly it will be a youthful side put out by Arsenal, but there are a few fringe players in need of game time that will offer experience. …
By Phil Gregory So, how do you write an article following up on that then? Clearly those were a three points that we should’ve been taking home, especially after a generally excellent first half performance. I’m not going to dissect the game as frankly, you can read that on any Arsenal blog and having been …

By Phil Gregory I’ve always liked Blackburn away, mainly because I can get tickets. That aside, being a Northern-based Gooner I’ve a few of friends who are Blackburn fans, so I suppose there’s more riding on this game for me than just the three points being contested. A few years ago, when some members of …

There’s more on Twitter @UntoldArsenal After a close fought encounter against Swansea was decided by the most bizarre of goals, we’re off to the home of the current German Champions. With the team still adapting to the departures of Fabregas and Nasri and our new signings still integrating into the side, it is a tough …
By Phil Gregory Well, that was one hell of a deadline day for Arsenal fans, and it brings to a close our summer of transfer activity which has resulted in six additions. Those are, of course: Mertesacker Jenkinson Santos Arteta Benayoun Campbell Gervinho Oxlade-Chamberlain Young Park You could also potentially include Miyiachi onto that list …
By Phil Gregory As Walter said in his article, games like this are part of being a football fan. It was great to see the away fans sticking behind the team, and a very proper gesture of the club to offer them another away ticket free of charge. No doubt all Gooners have been subject …

By Phil Gregory You know the negativity surrounding Arsenal is getting a little silly when your Everton-supporting boss bets you £10 that they will finish above Arsenal this season. Now, I know we’ve lost a few players this summer, but for a club who’s only summer signing is a contract extension for Phil Neville, well… …
By Phil Gregory After Nasri’s recent departure, Arsenal travel away to Udinese for a hugely crucial tie. The Italian side took some –myself included – by surprise in the first leg, but there’ll be no risk of them being underestimated this evening. The Liverpool result wasn’t the best preparation for this tie, but positives can …
