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 Oh the joy of being an Arsenal fan when at 5 am on a Sunday morning the alarm clock next to my bed wakes me up. Pure delight is what runs in my blood when I realise I will be in the Emirates in some 12 hours from now. Instead of the …
16-1, I should explain, was the number of shots for each side. And there isn’t too much point in doing any analysis of a match like this. We needed to win, and Fulham were thinking of the Europa League, and we did what was necessary. Most amusingly Tottenham didn’t. Djourou came back and had a …

by Tony Attwood Just a little story that I noticed, in case it is of interest. There’s an interesting piece in the Guardian today which suggests that the team will change from 4-3-3- over to 4-4-2 for the game against Fulham. I have to admit when Eboue is in the team I do sometimes lose …
By Tony Attwood Since everyone in the UK is still wondering who is going to run the country, and no one is reading blogs, I thought I would amuse myself by doing a preview of the game against Fulham by looking at their finances. Fulham FC is actually a network of companies which ultimately seem …

———————— Today’s Sponsor: Making the Arsenal: historical fiction on acid ——————————— Blackburn Rovers will forever be known in football as the inventors of that most pernicious evil, Rotational Fouling.

A blue moon arises when a full moon appears twice in one month. It is rather dull really. There are just about 13 full moons in a year and only 12 months, so logically one month is going to get a second one in one month if one sees what one is saying. Calling it …

By Walter Broeckx When I write an article I usually give my own thoughts on the things that I see. This time I am going to take the liberty to do otherwise. When I was watching the Wigan game at home on my sports channel we had a match commentator and it wasn’t the normal …

Wow, what a weekend of football so far. United were dead and buried and the title was on it’s way to Stamford Bridge. Not anymore. Are we in it? Mathematically, yes though realistically there are too few games to expect to overhaul two sides. One could perhaps be relied on to slip up, but not …

By Walter Broeckx When Arsenal loses a game it is always a difficult moment. Every defeat hurts and the defeat against ****** even more than any other. We could all do like the catastrophists do, and slaughter all the players, the manager and everyone else involved in the club. I think there are plenty of …
They had to wait until Arsenal put out a team with six first team regulars missing, and a team for most of the game including our 4th and 5th choice centre backs, but it had to happen one day. After 10 years of waiting, after the endless defeats and humiliations, Tottenham finally managed to beat …

After six straight wins a draw feels like a defeat, especially with the invented club from across London beating a very poor Villa side. But, remember. Six straight wins, and then one draw. That’s not a desparate situation – that is a terrific run. And all done without Van Persie, who is beyond doubt our …
