By Walter Broeckx So the media and many of our own fans repeat the mantra about x years and won nothing. If you then ask those people : is it just all about trophies? Do you only love Arsenal when they win? Then most will answer: No, no but I just want us to compete. …
By Walter Broeckx It is fair to say that this was a very educative week on the referee front. And yet I will not go in to any analyses (unless I wander off during this article) on the decisions themselves. No I rather want to talk about how the media has been going on about …

By Made I. Tup A real war has started it seems. The war to take over Arsenal FC. Our Untold Undercover Team also known as the MI13 has discovered that the £1.5 billion takeover offer is only the start of all events that will bring Arsenal back to the top and beyond. By going where …
By Walter Broeckx Arsenal have battled their way to the quarter finals of the Nextgenseries, the competition that is in reality the youth version of the champions league. The round of 16 was played in one game and Arsenal had to travel to the defending champions of last year Inter Milan. Contrary to what we …

By Walter Broeckx and Tony Attwood We don’t mind free speech. In fact we are great admirers and defenders of free speech. We’re all in favour of anyone who can come up with an argument about some things. What we are against is people who think that arguments by their very nature contain abusive …
By Walter Broeckx In the last article I tried to give you a view on how the goals we conceded were made. As was shown a lot of those goals were made from our own mistakes. In today’s article I want to take about where we conceded those goals. As you know we let in …
By Walter Broeckx Lots has been said about the goals we conceded so far this season. Many posters say where we should work on to improve the defence and making claims that half of the goals we score are from corners or from free kicks or from… I thought why not try to analyse the …
By Walter Broeckx The ref for this important NLD is Mark Clattenburg. Mark Clattenburg is 37 years young, was born in Consett and I had to look it up on the internet and that is some way up North in the North East to be precise. [In case you are new to this site, Walter …

By Walter Broeckx Yesterday someone pointed me at a question that was put up on the social network twitter by a certain noisy person who is always slagging off the club. I don’t follow that person myself but let me say he is the somewhat self declared spokesman of you, me and every other gooner …
By Walter Broeckx A quick look at the league table this morning is rather interesting. I think if a person coming from planet Zorch were to fed with what the big media are feeding their audience about Arsenal would run to the bookmaker to make a bet that Arsenal is in last place in the …

By Walter Broeckx I think this was a game that was a great summary of our football club in this season. Being the best team, being on top for most of the game but still have to work incredibly hard to get a victory. Let us start with the bad things. Again we had enough …
By Walter Broeckx In our now weekly preview in what we can expect from the ref we see that for the next game of the season we will welcome as the ref Mr. Martin Atkinson He is 41 years old and comes from Bradford. He has been a PL ref since 2004 and he is …

By Walter Broeckx As I was reading the article from Fishpie and the reasoned comments from most of the wise people who visit Untold I got struck by one comment from Swissgooner. Sometimes you get this “you took the words right out of my mouth” feelings. This was such a one. I think his comment …

By Walter Broeckx Apart from a miracle I think we can say that the CL is over for Arsenal. We can be optimistic and we can believe in miracles but scoring 3 goals in Munich and not letting in a goal is as good as impossible. Only a total off day of Bayern Munich could …
By Walter Broeckx We play Bayern Munich tonight in the CL. Anyone who follows football a bit knows that Bayern Munich is the biggest team in the Bundesliga. They are the most successful team in Germany. And also in Europe they have won lots of cups. And they sit on top of the Bundesliga with …

By Walter Broeckx Of course it was a big disappointment last Saturday. But this is what football is all about. You can be the better team in the whole 90 minutes and still lose a game. Some say this is the beauty of football. If you end up on the winning side it is great. …

By Walter Broeckx In a cup game where winning is the only important thing we didn’t achieve what we deserved. I think apart from those who support Blackburn and those who hate Arsenal there will be no really neutral football lovers out there who think that Blackburn deserved to win. But they scored and we …
We’ve just found the first ever Arsenal song! By Walter Broeckx So what can we expect from the referee in our cup game when the Blackburn Rovers come to the Emirates? I try to give you an answer to that later. First I want to start by saying that since last Monday my head has …

By Walter Broeckx The Sunderland – Arsenal game was a rather important game. Well they all are important in this phase of the competition. But with the spuds already having won the early kick off and Chelsea having a more easy game it was important to keep as close to those teams as possible. So …

By Walter Broeckx The ref in the game Sunderland – Arsenal is Anthony Taylor. Taylor was born in Manchester (ouch) and lives in Cheshire. I’ve heard about the cheese but never really tasted it. And as I am a cheese lover if anyone can tell me how it looks and how the flavour is I …
