By Walter Broeckx Since this week the possibility of match fixing has been smashed in our faces and from now on nobody can deny that there might be something wrong with the game I want to take it one step further.

By Walter Broeckx I have on a few occasions suggested that choosing a football club is the same thing as choosing a wife. You fall in love with it/her and even sometimes the reasons are not really understandable. Some people may not think she is beautiful but for the man who chooses his wife he …
By Anonymous At Arsenal What is really going on inside Arsenal? It is a question often put, but for anyone who observes what is said by Arsenal officials, and who attends meetings at which senior Arsenal staff are present, it is quite clear what is going on. First, it is a fact that the club …

By Walter Broeckx So the Huns came to the Emirates and left with empty hands. Fine. There are teams that you want to see trashed at the Emirates. The spuds come to mind. And in fact Stoke is such a team. Winning 6-1 against Southampton is great but you don’t get a devilish great extra …

By Walter Broeckx STOP if you don’t like referee talk or you think the ref plays no part in a football game. It will save you a few minutes of your life. CARRY ON if you are interested and I can tell you some strange things will be revealed for your delectation. The ref for …

By Walter Broeckx People who tried to understand what Wenger said during this transfer window knew that if we would bring in someone it would be player(s) from Spain or Germany. He openly said that those are the two countries with the best youth education system for the moment and that this was the …
By Walter Broeckx As we have nothing else to do for the moment apart from checking arsenal.com every now and then to see if by any chance we still buy someone I thought it would be nice to have a look at how we and the rest of the teams that are fighting for the …

By Walter Broeckx Slip sliding away sang the singer a few years ago. And that is exactly what Sagna did in the first minutes of the game. Any sensible person who has seen this goal can only say that if Sagna doesn’t slip nothing happens at all. We can moan all day and all night …
By Walter Broeckx So here we are again with another article that gives a preview of what could be our biggest opponent in our next game. And allow me to say that it always is nice when the hard work our ref reviewers have done over the years come together with the reality out there. …

By Walter Broeckx I think we all know the fickle world outside Untold. That world of people who have their idea on a player ready after just one game or just one event. One bad pass and he is rubbish and another of those cheap buys from the French and so the manager has to …
By Walter Broeckx As I am one of the lucky persons who could see the game live on my TV I want to start with my favourite moment of the game. It was a moment before a ball was kicked. It was a moment that showed images of the crowd before the game started. And …

By Walter Broeckx As Tony said it earlier today we will write what we think we should write. So for those not liking, sorry. But here is another whining,…er….article about the ref we have today. Of course this is a cup game and in cup games there are different rules. Well not in the laws …

By Walter Broeckx I would have loved to start with writing an article about the game from last night where we won in rather pleasant way. Alas, alas, alas… I had to watch the game on a not that good internet stream. I could see most of it but missed the Podolski goal live as …
By Walter Broeckx Ok here I sit. Tony has been snowed in I think and I even don’t know if he will be able to free himself to get to the game. Billy the Dog McGraw has disapeared when the tried to reach the allotment of Dennis Bergkamp so he also is not here. Which …
By Walter Broeckx As a few people were interested in my comments on the refs in previous games when we talked about the refs (and they did gave us plenty to talk about) I will try to add my referee part to the reviews if I can find the time. Otherwise they say I talk …

By Walter Broeckx So let us suppose the board give in to the pressure from some part of the Arsenal fan base and sack the manager today. What is the main criticism I read about Wenger: – He knows nothing about tactics – He will not buy players we need The first one is something …
By Walter Broeckx I have been banging on this a few times before and will bang on the same nail once again: the nail where I point at the importance of the fans being behind the team from the start of the game till the end. Players have said it enough that if they feel …

By Walter Broeckx Amidst the daily speculation of Arsenal will buy this player and that player maybe it is time to take a more global look on this transfer market. In our article we counted the players we were linked to and I stopped counting around 35 but have seen at least some 10 more …
By Walter Broeckx Looking back to the Swansea game On a cold freezing night Arsenal brought us warmth. If I would be pretentious I would say that Wenger read our article and the comments last night. I wrote: “Also against MU they played a very decent game. MU played a high pressing game on the …

By Walter Broeckx When we look at the last years Arsenal has been hit by a few leg or ankle breaks on the field. A quick summary gives us this Diaby leg break : Sunderland – Arsenal – 01/05/2006 – Ref Dermot Gallagher – career of Diaby since then hampered going from injury to injury. …

By Walter Broeckx We all have heard and seen the slogan before. We want our Arsenal back. Even the Chelsea fans started using it the other day after their rich owner sacked the umpteenth manager. And because the new manager isn’t that popular for Chelsea fans they started shouting: “We want our Chelsea back”. In …
