"I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art." A Wenger
By Walter Broeckx A few changes compared to our match against Leicester. Some forced and some by choice. Ospina comes in goal and Coquelin is declared fit and will start. Gabriel also comes in the side and Gibbs was also starting. And Oxlade-Chamberlain also in the starting line up. Per Mertesacker was given a birthday …
With most of us being out and about over the weekend we didn’t publish our normal post-match summary of the game. But it was such a fine and exciting match it would be a great shame for it not to be recorded on Untold. So here it is… just to remind you how breathless it …

By Walter Broeckx Lots of fuss has been made and rightfully so of the behaviour of Suarez who had an appetite for human flesh in his career. Biting is unacceptable behaviour and it is something that usually is removed from the behaviour of little kids. You still have a few biters before the age of …

By Walter Broeckx Chelsea with an early shot but Cech saved. Then Arsenal with the most attacking in the first minutes. Walcott just couldn’t get round Begovic to get an angle to shoot. A few shots from distance but no real opening chances. Chelsea leaning backwards most of the time trying to play the counter …

By Walter Broeckx I couldn’t do my usual match report form for this match and will not be able to do so for the next matches because of other obligations. But I did see the match live on a stream not of the greatest quality and with a few times it going down so I …

By Walter Broeckx That’s it the season is over and finished. City has spent most money, was top before the transfer window slammed shut so no point to add anything to this: City is champion of the season 2015-2016. That is at least the impression you get when you see some people (lucky only a …
By Walter Broeckx Transfer Deadline Day (as it is called) on the social media is a bit of a strange happening. As I had stayed away from twitter for almost the whole transfer period I thought it would be interesting to have a look at how things stand. Now I must admit that I do …

By Walter Broeckx The league is 4 matches far. And some say it is all over already. That all is a bit quick if you ask me. But that happens when you only look at one result and then predict the future. Or even looking at 3 results and hen telling that this is the …

By Walter Broeckx People who have followed Untold over the years will know that I and most of the rest of the writers here are strongly in favour of what we call ‘the video referee’. The video referee that has been back on the main pages (well at least on arsenal.com) this time. Aaron Ramsey …
By Walter Broeckx A big surprise when the team news came out. Per Mertesacker was ill and so Calum Chambers came in his place. And to make things worse Koscielny has a back injury and thus Gabriel took his place. So it was Santi Cazorla who captained the team. And Giroud made his 100th league …
