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
Here’s a stange story. Michel Platini says that he will pass legislation to ensure that from 2012/13 onwards every club in the Champs League have to have accounts in balance. That presumably means that the club has positive assets – take the money they owe away from the assets they have and if it is …

On the blogs we should be fighting the media and their attempt to brainwash us all with their version of reality – but most blogs do the reverse. There is something utterly sinister within our media. The issue raises the question of the news, and how it is created, and through it, what is happening …

A single defeat in the season is, of course neither here nor there. Last season I was at Arsenal 2 IOU 1, and it was one of the very best matches I have ever seen in a lifetime of watching football. Today wasn’t remotely a match in that sort of class; we lost by the …

Last year was, according to the muddleheaded, the year of going backwards. We entered league match number 3 with and win and a defeat, plus a comfortable saunter into the Bent Cup (as I’m now forced to rename the Champs League). Match three was Arsenal 3 Newcastle Zebras 0. Line up was Almunia Sagna, Toure, …

The not so simple life of a referee, by Walter Broeckx How many times do we wonder how is it possible that the blind c*nt in the middle didn’t see that? I must confess that being in the stadium or behind my television I curse that blind man in the middle a lot. In the …
During the 1990/1991 season a group of Manchester IOU (then known as plain Manchester Thugs) players ran around some Arsenal players and there was a bit of pushing and shoving. In typical idiotic, insane, pathetic, stupid, disgraceful, bizarre and incomprehensible style the League decided to take two points away from Arsenal, and thus scupper their …

Arsenal’s youth team managed to squirm their way through to the Groupie Stage of the Euro Cup last night on the “Most Goals Scored” rule. “It really is ludicrous,” said Letmedrivethe Koach talking on ITV, “no other competition in the world uses this method of deciding the winner. What has the issue of who scored …
Ah the joys of football. A year ago, after seeing off the club curiously known as Steve Umbrella and having won 2 and lost 1 in the EPL we were written off. A top four finish was not possible. The end was nigh. Mid-table beckoned. Aston “Hold Your Head” would overtake us. And you know …

Arsene Wenger: the best manager England never had By Simon Bailey. No work today, the wife was out getting last minute school uniforms, books, bags, and whatever else they need, so I decided to put on The Damned United, the story of Brian Clough’s six week tenure at Leeds United. It’s not really a ‘Football’ …

The general view among the more thoughtful fans of Arsenal (well, my mate Ian and the two guys I met down the pub) is that the Lord Wenger really has had a masterplan and has not deviated from it. And it is now being revealed in all its glory. And in common with earlier Wengerian …
Equifax does reports on the financial health of EPL clubs – you may have seen they did a new one this month. What they do is take a look at the accounts, what the auditor says about dodgy dealings and dubious debts, contemplate their ability to repay debts, look at working capital, and also sees …

So how am I supposed to predict these scores correctly if the Lord Wenger doesn’t play fair? How was I supposed to know he was going to put the reserves out? How was I supposed to know that far from using my brilliant tactic of putting Wilshere on the bus at half price, Portsmouth didn’t …

ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES: Giving you the results before the ball leaves the centre spot.

I was thinking of running a regular feature which featured people who said things like, “Arsenal are more likely to end up mid-table than challenge for the title this year”, and who then say, “Some have written Wenger’s team off, but their opening performances suggest…” Trouble is, there are so many such articles that it …

According to Sam Wallace writing in the Independent, “Celtic were the victims of a wealthier club, one that can afford better, slicker players as well as a manager any team in Europe would covet.” Although the second part was true, the first part isn’t – and several regular contributors to this site (Matt and Jonny …

By Walter Broeckx Some people may have been surprised by the way Thomas Vermaelen has settled in so quickly after joining The Arsenal this summer. Vermaelen was highly rated in Amsterdam as captain from Ajax but in the international football world wasn’t a big name. So there has been a lot of doubters amongst the …
Welcome to the new world – the world in which Arsenal have recreated a team, devised a new free-flowing 4-3-3 system, and produced players of the highest quality who just a year ago were derided. Welcome also to the new world in which Untold Arsenal is able to influence complete matches and give you the …

All tomorrow’s parties: the service that tells you the result before the game has kicked off. You will be excused if you don’t know that Celtic are playing Arsenal tonight, as the BBC has ordered a virtual blackout of news on the game. This follows the appalling embarrassment the Corporation faced after their “expert” Mark …

Denilson: Another Wenger Special? By Aaditya Gupta Since his display on Saturday the anti-Denilson brigade has been muted. But there is no doubt they will be back on the rampage if he has what they perceive to be a poor game. Over the 2008/09 season, no player has been more controversial in terms of popular …
Ever since the Unbeaten Season journalists have been knocking Arsenal. (In fact in the case of the Observer they were knocking Arsenal the day after we beat Leicester to complete the Unbeaten). They have been saying how awful the club is, how it is going down the table, and will ultimately collapse and Wenger will …

And of course by that I mean the coverage on ESPN. We had all the junk rubbish about Arsenal being weak, struggling to make the top four, slipping behind the others, having sold players, Wenger refusing to buy. It was as if ESPN had watched Sky and instead of seeing it as a dire warning …

So – does size really matter. According to the Sun. And sadly the BBC in a recent article repeated the same stuff, without crediting the Sun, and I fear without checking any of the facts. . Because Sun + facts = a contradiction & as I show below, there is a very good reason why …
