by Tony Attwood In its report on Leicester’s win at Tottenham, the Guardian mentions Leicester penalty five times. On the BBC Radio 4 report this morning the penalty was mentioned four times. But neither news source mentioned the real oddity of the Leicester penalty. That is that this was Leicester’s ninth penalty of the season.

11 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood And so we have now had the first suggestion that we should get rid of Mr Arteta and bring in… Brendon Rodgers. That’s the media’s idea of course, I’ve no idea what other Arsenal fans think of it. Not something I’d like to see. But it goes on and on. We got […] November 23rd, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Arsène Wenger, Football & club strategies, Managers, Statistics, Supporters |
2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood Last season Leicester City raced to near the top of the league and for a long time were looking dead certs for at the very least a top four finish, if not a runners’ up spot. And then they fell apart and slipped right back down the table. So, in our normal […] October 5th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Football & club strategies |
One comment - (Comments are closed) by Tony Attwood In football reporting, every incident becomes a crisis, because every day needs a story. And yesterday we got two, with the defeats of Liverpool and Manchester United. Such things have happened all the way through football history. There are famous tales told of Arsenal losing 7-0 away to Newcastle in 1925 just […] October 5th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Journalists and their comments, Rules and referees, Stadia |
2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Bulldog Drummond In their final match before the lock down West Ham lost away to Arsenal – a result which meant they only won one of their last ten pre-lockdown. Thereafter they won three, two of which were against fellow stragglers in the league, lost three and drew three. Date Game Res Score 20 […] September 18th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Match reviews and previews |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood There is an article in the Guardian which says “Whether football returns in June or September, or later even than that, it will be a long time before it is played in stadiums packed with crowds of tens of thousands, without players having to undertake complex social distancing measures. Normal isn’t coming […] May 4th, 2020 | Category: Finances, Football & club strategies, The Premier League |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood You might not know if from reading the English blogs and newspapers but yes, decisions are being made, and proposals are being put on the table. OK these things have not worked out well in Scotland, where, as we noted last time around, a certain local difficulty has been encountered. But elsewhere […] April 14th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Europe, Football & club strategies, International affairs, FIFA, UEFA, Rules and referees, The Premier League |

Comments are closed By Tony Attwood I have several times raised the point that the media hates the question “why?” And so it seems today as none of the main news outlets in the UK are asking why the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care said that he wanted footballers to take pay cuts and thus […] April 6th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Journalists and their comments, Media |
6 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood “Why should players take a pay cut?” That’s an interesting question, but because that question begins with “why?” you can be sure that it doesn’t get much coverage in the media. For the British media is notorious for ignoring the “why?” in any debate. What they do is skate over issues, […] April 5th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Corruption, Finances, Football & club strategies, Journalists and their comments, Owners of football clubs |
7 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood and Christophe Jost So we have had weeks and weeks of pretending nothing is happening, or if it is happening it is only those silly foreign people getting into a tiz, while we English know that it is all alright, and indeed it would all be fine in Europe if only those […] April 1st, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Finances, Football & club strategies, Gambling |
4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood There really does seem to be a feeling among many journalists that a) this season will resume some time soon, b) titles, promotion and relegation will be resolved in the normal way c) next season will happen and all this will seem like a weird interlude of a few weeks.

7 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood A sense of wait and see has been replaced by a sense of “let’s do something” in football, as the realization sinks in that doing nothing will inevitably lead a number of clubs into financial administration or indeed total collapse. Partly it is the technical point that if a company goes into […] March 19th, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Players |
2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Christophe Jost The virus’s effect on our daily lives is now visible and for the moment all we can do it simply hope people will find ways of avoiding catching it – by taking precautions and helping each other.

8 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 |

By Tony Attwood In the modern blogging world, exploring the issue of cause and effect is sometimes known as moaning – and “moaning” of course is a pejorative word. No one likes a moaner.

By Tony Attwood I have been arguing for some time that just as changing managers is not a guaranteed recipe for taking a club up the league, nor is buying lots of players.

9 comments - (Comments are closed) By Tony Attwood There is something of a feeling of elation after the win against Manchester United, as indeed there should be. For after five games without a win and indeed just one win in 16, a win against a traditional “top six” club was very welcome indeed. After all it stopped what seemed an […] January 3rd, 2020 | Category: Arsenal stories, Football & club strategies, Players, Tactics |
