By Tony Attwood In 2016 Untold ran a piece that began, “In recent years the UK has been swamped with details of a huge number of child sexual exploitation cases.” We didn’t report all the details but mention Jimmy Saville, the Rotherham gangs, Gary Glitter, and Rolf Harris, before we moved on to the […] By Tony Attwood As surely everyone knows, football is in financial meltdown, and is surviving only because incredibly wealthy individuals, and in some cases countries, are ploughing money into clubs to keep them alive. Matters were pretty bad before the pandemic, but now, with income dramatically reduced debts have got out of control. Interestingly no […] January 31st, 2021 | Category: Arsenal stories, Finances, Football, Owners of football clubs |
3 comments By Tony Attwood When I say “so few” in the headline above, I have to admit I am not sure if there are any non-white referees or assistants working in the Premier League. Maybe that speaks to my lack of observational powers, or maybe I have just come to accept the fact that footballers come […]
It’s been a painful season for Gunners fans around the globe, but the start of 2021 has seen a revival in form and the team’s potential is beginning to show. The side are still as temperamental as ever though, and it’s tricky to guess which Arsenal will turn up on any given match day. […]
Mikel Arteta wants to create new opportunities in his midfield. In the course of this, Arsenal FC is interested in Amadou Diawara. Its advisor confirms the London efforts.Recently, Arsenal’s alleged interest in Amadou Diawara popped up for the first time. There was talk of a possible swap deal with AS Roma, which could receive […] September 1st, 2020 | Category: Football |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood Qatar was awarded the World cup in 2010. Evidence that has emerged since then suggests very strongly indeed that the award was rigged. One suggestion among many is that al-Jazeera (since then renamed beIN Sports) had signed a TV contract that included a $100m fee to be paid to Fifa if […] June 14th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Media, Players, Stadia |

By Tony Attwood The football industry, which consists of the clubs, the players, the non-playing staff, and the businesses and industry that get an economic boost from it, want football back, because it’s their living, their way of life, and in many cases, it makes a profit. By and large the fans want it […] By Tony Attwood You won’t read about it in the British press, but there is a court case going on involving a villa in Sardinia valued at 5 million euros which was offered by Nasser al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG to Jérôme Valcke the former secretary of Fifa who was fired on 13 January 2016 […] April 30th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, England, F.A., Finances, Football, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Media |
2 comments - (Comments are closed) by Tony Attwood “The most important week in the history of the Football League – act now, or risk carnage”. So said Mark Palios, the former FA Chief Executive. It doesn’t really matter when he said it, because it is always the most important week. But this week is a special […] April 15th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Finances, Football |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) by Tony Attwood I just got a post on my phone titled Big Topic Discussion: “What an ideal transfer windows for Arsenal will look like?” It’s not too hard to translate it into grammatical English however, so we can get the rough idea of what they wanted to talk about. This statement came from AFC […] April 11th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Finances, Football, Football blogging |
One comment - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood Slowly it has been realised: the clubs across Europe owe around £4.5bn in transfer fees. Of course in one way it can be said that that is not a crisis since everyone owes everyone else, so if A pays B then B pays C etc and […] April 11th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, Transfers |
One comment - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood So this is where we’ve got to. 1: By and large the players in the Premier League, following the lead of their union, are refusing to take pay cuts. Some very public players in Europe are taking pay cuts. 2: Clubs are laying off lesser paid staff, and telling them they will […] April 2nd, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Finances, Football |
5 comments - (Comments are closed) By Christophe Jost I must be transparent. I do not live in the UK, I am of German and Swiss descent, work in France and Switzerland, and have lived in quite a few countries so far in my life. Some of the countries are rich, some are poor. So my vision may be a galaxy […] March 24th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, Journalists and their comments, Media |
7 comments - (Comments are closed) Premier League: The best bromances of the league For centuries, football has always gathered millions of fans around the world regardless of race or religion. However, apart from this solidarity around football fans, it also happens that links are formed between players of the same team. We tend to forget it but football is above […] By Tony Attwood There are two ways to imagine football as and when the current crisis is all over. One is that everything picks up from where it left off, with the same competitions, the same number of games, the same financial situation, the same funding etc. The other is that this crisis will cause […] March 21st, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, History, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA |
Comments are closed By Christophe Jost and Tony Attwood As you may have heard, the UK in general and England in particular has gone its own way in dealing with the coronavirus crisis. And inevitably that has meant a certain amount of uncertainty and worry about what Britain is doing, and what effect it will have. Now that […] March 17th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Europe, Football, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, The Premier League |
7 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood In the last set of figures presented via annual accounts, the 20 clubs in the Premier League were shown to have a turnover of £4.827 bn. Which is quite a lot of money. Their wages bill was just over half that. 58% to be (more or less) exact. Now obviously the virus […] March 14th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, Football & club strategies, History, Rules and referees, Statistics |

14 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood I am shocked, amazed, stunned, bemused. For 12 years we have been plodding away, writing up the notion that the reporting of football is warped by the media to suit their own needs and ends, and those of their powerful allies. Among the many examples found are those suggesting that key stories […] February 14th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, England, Finances, Football, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Journalists and their comments, Rules and referees |

7 comments - (Comments are closed) by Tony Attwood It is interesting to see The Athletic in a current article taking an interest in AFTV, and recognising (perhaps a little late in the day) that not everyone who claims to be an Arsenal supporter actually likes AFTV. But I do find it a little frustrating that articles like this are presented […] January 19th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football, Football blogging, Journalists and their comments, Supporters |

By Tony Attwood
The Swiss prosecution service has called for prison sentences against the president of beIN and the ex-number 2 of Fifa, Jérôme Valcke.
