By Tony Attwood Huge gatherings of sports fans for international events. Great fun. Big TV event. Why not? Well, if the current round of huge gatherings is anything to go by, the answer is because they can be rather troublesome. We have the Euros in France organised by Uefa, a body that is renowned for […] By Blacksheep I was at the game with Tony but (as he said in the last post) seated downstairs in the North Bank Lower tier. I didn’t count the A4 cards but it wasn’t many and Tony has a better view than me. There were a few directly behind me but they moan most weeks […] . By Bulldog Drummond Burnley were relegated from the Premier League and are now looking to come back up, so an FA Cup run is not the primary thing on their mind – promotion is much more important, as is not getting anyone injured at this stage of the season. The income […] January 30th, 2016 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsenal youth, Arsène Wenger, Match reviews and previews |
37 comments - (Comments are closed) By Blacksheep Today was a five star performance from the Arsenal against a Villa side that might need to readjust to life in the Championship if they can’t get their act together soon. But I’ll leave the match report to Walter when he gets back from leading Arsenal Belgium to the Emirates. I experienced 5 […] February 1st, 2015 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Football grounds, Match reviews and previews, Police and stewards, Stadia, Supporters |

One of the constant brickbats hurled at our illustrious manager is that he supposedly only sees incidents on the pitch he wants to see and conveniently ignores those dubious decisions that work in Arsenal’s favour. Indeed in 2009 the ever reliable Daily Mirror wrote a whole piece entitled “I […] September 17th, 2013 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger |
31 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood I have just read an article in which it is suggested that Arsenal may well be heading the way of Liverpool, and that unless the manager is changed that is where the club is likely to end up. It is an interesting proposition, and one that requires some analysis. Liverpool FC were […] By Phil Gregory Nope not Arsene Wenger, but Matt Law who is apparently the Chief Football Writer at the Mirror and recently penned a bit of a hatchet job on Wenger. Thanks to the wonders of the web, I had the dubious pleasure of reading his critique (you wouldn’t catch me dead reading the Mirror) […] November 6th, 2012 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Journalists and their comments |

Played 12, won 10, drawn 1, lost 1 is not a bad headline but you would have struggled […] November 21st, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Players |

Arsene’s Speech at the AGM
After hearing Arsene’s speech at the AGM in full, I decided that it should be transcribed and submitted (slightly edited) as a full article. Overall, Arsene touched on many relevant issues that are discussed regularly on this […] —————————————– The Christmas gift for the fan with (almost) everything —————————————– By Walter Broeckx We know that one of the things that some part of the fans throw at Wenger is the fact that he can’t organise a defence. And that he is stubborn. And then they come up with the […] October 18th, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Football & club strategies, Tactics |
16 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood Arsenal are the only leading club in the Premier League to make money from buying and selling players during the years of foreign ownership (which we take to mean since Roman Abramovich at Chelsea). Since 2003/04, Arsenal have received £21 million more than they have spent, and this is a figure that […] Untold Arsenal and Arsenal History on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here Untold Arsenal Index History of Arsenal with a new series on the Rioch year, and onto the Wenger years. Making the Arsenal – the book of Arsenal death and rebirth By […] By Walter Broeckx One of the big issues in recent seasons was our form in the top games. Pundits and a lot of fans blamed Arsenal and Wenger for not winning the top games. And this was in their eyes the reason for Arsenal not winning things. So after all the top 4 games being […] May 10th, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Football blogging |
77 comments - (Comments are closed) By Walter Broeckx After the Stoke game someone asked us to be critical for Wenger. Saying things like: It won’t be the end of the world if you also highlight the mistakes he has made over the last decade. So after my evening training of some 6 km (because I have to be in good […] Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here Groundhog Season By Sammy The Snake Writing something positive about Arsenal is a real challenge these days. As some of you may have noticed, and most of you haven’t, I’ve been quiet for some time. As the saying goes, if […] April 6th, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Journalists and their comments |
101 comments - (Comments are closed) By Walter Broeckx Here we go again. What is the matter with some part of our fans? Do they have no brains? Or are they just like me from other parts of the world where English is not their mother language and so they misunderstand things? But even I as a non-English speaker can grab […] March 18th, 2011 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Players |

By Paul Blythe The Phrygian sage Epictetus said: ‘Everything has two handles, one by which it can be carried and a second by which it cannot’. There may even be a third handle, often not in clear view and the major problem being you need a third hand […] September 21st, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Journalists and their comments |
7 comments - (Comments are closed) What constitutes failure? By Tony Attwood One of the most interesting issues raised in correspondence about the “philosophy of Wenger” articles was the question, “what constitutes failure”. I was asked whether seven years without a trophy would be a failure? Or ten years? And that led me into thinking that really that was far too […] September 14th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger |
24 comments - (Comments are closed) Wenger, Chapman, Graham – a comparison By Tony Attwood I was intending to stop this series on Wenger after covering the three basics: Philosophy, Practice and the Total Revolution. But a reader wrote in asking me what would constitute failure in terms of the Wenger revolution, and I thought it such a good question […] September 10th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, History |
42 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood (You can go back and read the article from the start, by clicking here). So the revised Wengerian philosophy emerged out of practical considerations. It had these basic points… a) The new youth system is working and some of the players coming through (Wilshere is the most obvious but there are many […] September 8th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger |
64 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood I pointed out in part 1 of this article that Wenger brought to Arsenal a new approach to football, not just in the style of playing, but also in the style of coaching, of economics, and of running the club. However the world changes, and football was not blind to what Wenger […] September 7th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger |
33 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood The issue has been raised a number of times: this blog has gone totally over the top in praising Arsène Wenger, instead of recognising his faults. Maybe there’s something in that, and if so, it is entirely my fault. So I thought I would go back, look at Wenger, and all he […] September 7th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger |
45 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood What a jolly day. And so many issues. I’ll combine them into one article, so we can move on to broader matters of substance for consideration and in-depth analysis tomorrow (or not if I get up late, or if you are bored and have had enough). Wenger’s “rant” (as one correspondent described […] August 28th, 2010 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Match reviews and previews |

Don’t shoot the messenger but we’re in a funk
By Blacksheep
Those that know me (not that many of course) or that have read things I’ve written before (a few more perhaps) will [hopefully] be aware that I’m quite a positive person when it comes to most things including Arsenal. I’m pleased to contribute to this blog because it supports the club, the team […]
