By Walter Broeckx For the first time since ancient times we had a few changes in the starting line up for Arsenal. Hence all bloggers, journalists and anyone involved typing till their fingers bleeding to write about the massive overhoul of the team. Well massive…. 2 changes in fact. That means that Koscielny recovered from his …
By Walter Broeckx The team at the start : Opsina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud. On the bench: Szczesny, Gibbs, Gabriel, Flamini, Rosicky, Wilshere, Walcott. Both teams looking to attack but apart from a shot from Young from far that went well over no real goal mouth scenes in the opening …
By Walter Broeckx Sometimes the strangest things can lead to a new article for Untold. I was sitting in my chair the other day listening to the radio when the old song “Where have all the flowers gone” originally from Peter Seeger came on. For some inexplicable reason it suddenly sounded in my head the …
By Walter Broeckx For the second time in a row Arsenal made no changes to the side that played against Hull last week. Ramsey recovered from the kicking he got and started. Jack Wilshere remained on the bench. So the same team that started, something that doesn’t change that much at Arsenal because of all the …
By Walter Broeckx For once your reviewer becomes previewer. As our regular previewer Andrew is waltzing his way over the Danube I take over for this occasion. And as because of personal circumstances I didn’t have any time the last weeks to do reviews the table of shame is unchanged. The reviews will be done …
By Pararealist Man oh man. I am sure that there are many Untoldians out there wondering what’s next for Arsenal. Well we know what is next, the FA Cup. Are we going to make sure we retain it, will we succeed or will the forces that plan against us be out to stop us from …
By Walter Broeckx I don’t know if he actually said it but if I can believe the media this is what a not yet named manager said yesterday against the media: “The Champions League is a prize in itself. A club like “X” must play at the highest podium”. Now we know that if Wenger …
By Walter Broeckx In England any football club can be owned by one person. Fit or not a person can buy a club and do with it what he likes. There once was a fit and proper person test but that was just a kind of joke as we have seen a few people with …
By Walter Broeckx On more than one occasion Tony has shown that journalists and pundits are lazy people. And I think it is fair to say that we have seen it again in the last couple of days. It all started (although not really started as such, as it has been the media/pundits theme for …
By Walter Broeckx No changes in the team that started the match against Hull. According to Arsenal.com Koscielny made his 200th appearance so lets hope he can celebrate a good win at the end of the match. On the bench we had a few changes. Gabriel and Rosicky have a place on the bench in …
By Walter Broeckx One could say that some of the results went our way last weekend. Of course the best result we have seen looking at the league table was Manchester United losing at home to WBA. We will play WBA at the final day of the season so let us not underestimate them. The …
Hull v Arsenal 04 May 2015 – The Match Officials by Andrew Crawshaw Firstly lets start off with the ‘Table of Shame’ updated following Walter’s report on Mike Jones performance in the Newcastle game – Ref Review : Newcastle – Arsenal: an overwhelming bias. A very poor overall performance gaining 58% overall, bias against arsenal …
By Bootoomee When Souleymane, a black Frenchman was prevented by Chelsea fans from taking the Metro on his way back home from work in the evening of Tuesday 17th February, he did not complain to anybody. Not to the officials of the Paris Metro. Not to the police. Not to his wife and children. Souleymane …
By Blacksheep An Untold Banner On Sunday Tony and I were chewing over the bones of the game against Chelski and I put an idea to him. How about we (i.e the Untold family) fund a banner that can be displayed at the Emirates? You probably know the sort of thing I mean …
By Walter Broeckx After last nights match between Hull (who we will play next Monday) and Liverpool the league table is this 1. Chelsea 33 played 77 points 2. Man City 34 played 67 points 3. Arsenal 33 played 67 points 4. Man Utd 34 played 65 points 5. Liverpool 34 played 58 points 6. …
By Walter Broeckx If we look back at the season so far one could say that we had a turning point in our season. Or maybe even a few turning points in our season. Some caught the eye more than others as we will explain later on in this article. For me the season really …
By Pararealist There is racism in football, and also in all other areas of society, but although they are related, we are going to concentrate on racism in football. First let me do a little preamble. I know some people are easily offended by honest discussions of prejudice and race. There are those who confuse …
By Walter Broeckx Lets have a look at our own players in our match against Chelsea. Not by giving them any points or so as this is not Untold to do but I think some things should be said about the players. Ospina : hardly had anything to do really. But he had each shot …
By Walter Broeckx I didn’t really want to spend any time on the bloke that is called Piers Morgan. But as yesterday Aaron Ramsey showed what a strong person he is I think it is appropriate to mention this incident. Now this Mr. Moron (oh a typo but I just leave it like that if you don’t …
By Walter Broeckx From the team that brought us our second FA cup final in one year Arsenal made four changes. Ospina cam in goal and Szczesny dropped to the bench again. At right back Bellerin came back in the team and Debuchy dropped next to Szczeseny. Monreal also took back hos place from Gibbs. Per …
By Walter Broeckx I must say that I was rather surprised to hear that Jonathon Moss had been handed the FA cup final. First of all my surprise is because of the fact that the decisions has been made already. We still have some six matches to play in the PL and in those matches …
By Walter Broeckx In an excellent article Andrew made a summary based on the referee reviews we have done this season. The question has been asked a few times before in the last weeks: are referees giving us a fairer crack of the whip lately? Statistically the answer is no. The bias is still appalling …
Ref for this match was Mike Jones The first foul only happened after 12 minutes but the Ameobi kicked Alexis in the chest. Not with hit studs but a high foot making contact should have been punished with a yellow card. Ref Jones let it go and as a result Cabella only a minute later …
By Walter Broeckx Compared to our match at Burnley Arsenal made a few changes. Szczesny started in goal and Ospina was on the bench. At right back Debuchy made his first start since his injury and Bellerin didn’t play or was involved. Gibbs started at left back and Monreal was on the bench. Up front …
By Walter Broeckx One of the things that entered my mind when seeing us win at Turf Moor last Saturday is that this team has something special. Something that if given time might grow in to something really special. If we take the time to have a look back at those last 8 wins in …
