Untold Arsenal: Supporting the club, the manager and the team
"I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art." A Wenger
By Walter Broeckx The picture painted by the English media of Arsenal being a club in total disaster and downfall is something that is not really recognisable in Europe.

By Tony Attwood There is in the football media a hierarchy.

by Walter Broeckx When I came in touch with Armin Medic, of the Bosnian supporters club, a few months ago he came up with the idea to do something for the Arsenal fans outside the UK. We had some very interesting email sessions and so the idea of making a magazine written by Arsenal fans from …
———————— Today’s Sponsor: I am not going to tell you: it’s a surprise ——————————— It is easy to argue that Wenger should go by taking one issue and shouting it, without any backup argument. But it is harder to construct the logic over a larger number of issues. In fact I have never seen it …
I was chatting with Kevin Perrett of Arsenal Independent Supporters Association before the Man City game at the Toppled Bollard (courtesy of Billy the Dog) discussing this, that, and the rest of infinity, when talk turned to the seemingly growing number of Wenger deniers – the doom mongers, the catatrophists, the gloomy bastards who see …
This past week I have got a trifle cheesed off with correspondents on this site who have ignored the article written, and instead developed their own pieces declaring that Arsene Wenger should leave the club.

“The childish whimpering of car thieves like Domenech represent the pathetic winging of football’s dodos entering the last chance saloon.” I think that is a fair and reasoned statement. The idiot Domenech, whose main job is to steal footballers who are carefully trained, developed and nurtured by their clubs, not to mention paid by their …
