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 GF60 How I loathe the the silly season. Even with the World Cup, the thought that the only sides I’m interested in at are those with Gooners playing (preferably they all get minor injuries whilst training and miss out) and the locals, is insufficient to stir the enthusiasm. So a tendency to look back at the …

By Tony Attwood Well, there it is. I pop over (or rather under, since I went by train) the English Channel for a few days, practice following the football news in French, watch France and Spain on TV being given the run around in warm ups, muck about a lot a Futuraworld (Poitiers) and then …

by Walter Broeckx This is the follow up on an article that was on this site and that you could read here. Back to the Champions League and the fact that if the new ruling comes in place and if this would mean that some big teams could not play in it. Would this be …
by Walter Broeckx A question that is being raised is the fact that when Uefa will introduce the financial fair play rules how this will effect the big teams. It has been said that Uefa will back down when it comes to excluding big teams as it cannot afford to play the Champions League without MIOU, …

by Walter Broeckx As someone said over here, some people like to look back at the good old days. We all do that at times. But looking back is sometimes dangerous because we see the past that we want to remember and not the past that has happened in reality. If I remember my childhood and …
By Tony Attwood I have, from time to time, let slip that I feel that corruption is rife in football in England – and indeed elsewhere. The little affair of Lord Triesman and his allegations about bribes in the world cup didn’t come as a surprise, nor did it that it took FIFA just a …
By Walter Broeckx After my bit of nonsense yesterday about the official Arsenal statement I come back to this tonight. I certainlyhad the feeling after the official statement that it was a very straight forward statement that was not up to much interpretation. But some people and media think otherwise, or try to make us believe that …
by Tony Attwood The failure of Bill Kenwright, the chairman of Everton, to find anyone to buy his club, is either one of football’s oddities, or it is a sign that football is changing. If you wanted to buy a club that was established in the EPL and had some history behind it, Everton would …

By Walter Broeckx Arsenal Football Club have today released the following statement about Cesc Fabregas:: “Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is under contract with the Club until the summer of 2015. He is a highly-valued member of the team and part of our future plans. “We have followed recent speculation linking Cesc with a move away …

by Walter Broeckx The first day of the transfer window has not been a bad day for Arsenal. And I don’t refer to the fact that Cesc has not been sold to Barcelona for the moment. But the bad news on this will be that the media will keep this fire burning for some 2 …
By Tony Attwood If you’ve ever clicked on the links that I sometimes throw in at the end of articles you might have found your way onto the Woolwich Arsenal web site www.blog.woolwicharsenal.co.uk The site covers, in a very erratic and idiosyncratic manner, the history of Woolwich Arsenal from its foundation as a professional club, …
So here we are again at the start of the most silly time of the year: the transfer window. If we think we have seen and heard it all about Cesc going to Barcelona by now, I think it will be nothing with what we are going to read and hear from today until the …
