Untold Arsenal: Supporting the club, the manager and the team

By Tony Attwood

The media are getting very excited about the idea of clubs pulling out of social media, not least because social media takes attention away from the lies that the media publish about clubs on a daily basis.

So they have introduced the notion that Arsenal need six new players. Football Whispers […]

After the clean sweep in the six qualifying matches we have had a run of games in the Europa that sees us with two wins, one defeat and two draws.

Which by and large is a bit of a disappointment given that we won all six of the opening group stage […]

Since the first leg one week ago, Slavia Prague, the club run by a subsidiary of the Chinese state, have played one game, as have Arsenal. While we beat bottom club Sheffield United 3-0 Slavia Prague beat their local rivals Sparta Prague 2-0.

So the position at the top of the […]

So far this season Arsenal has had the third highest number of minutes played by players aged under 21 in the Premier League. We also have the seventh youngest average age of players used this season.

Only Wolverhampton W and Sheffield U have had more minutes out of […]

Here’s a little snippet of information you might have missed: The dates for this summers transfer window in the Premier League starting and ending have not yet been set.

Yes honestly! We don’t know when the window creaks open and slams shut (as the journos have it twice a year).

Sheffield United have six players definitely out: Jack O’Connell, Jack Robinson, Jack Rodwell, Billy Sharp, Chris Basham and Sander Berge, with George Baldock and Jayden Bogle doubtful.

As is the media’s tradition when Arsenal have a bad result, the knives are out for the players and the manager, with ceaseless negative commentary. It is an absolute fundamental of these writers that they have no impact on events, they only report, but that seems very unlikely.

Sheffield United have […]

There is a double problem with Arsenal at the moment. One is the fact that quite obviously the club is not doing as well as we would like, nor as well as we would expect after the level of expectation was raised through the Wenger years.

The other is that there is […]

While Arsenal have had a fairly easy ride through to the quarter finals of the Europa League it was not quite so easy for SK Slavia Praha whom we play tomorrow.

For while we won every single game in the group stages, as you may recall if you were […]

The media are certain: Arsenal need players, players, players and more players. Loads of players need to be shipped out too, although it is interesting that since we revealed that Xhaka is the player in the squad with the best playing statistics, demands for him to leave at once have been somewhat […]

I don’t normally have cause to mention the magazine “New Scientist” on these pages; I subscribe to it because quite a bit of my education and work is science based and I like to keep up with developments. But it is not the place one might expect to find too many […]

Arsenal had 11 players picked to be part of squads playing in world cup matches during the the run up to today’s match, although thankfully a modicum of sense was shown and the South American games were called off because of travel restrictions.

Not everyone played of course because of […]
