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
THE DISPOSABLES By Don McMahon In 2003 we had the INVINCIBLES, in 2008 we had the CL FINALISTS, and in 2012-13 we have the DISPOSABLES. We are no longer the GUNNERS or the ARSENAL to many of our pseudo-supporters, but simply a collection of LOSERS, INGRATES, PROFITEERS, DEADWOOD, UNINSPIRED, and INDIFFERENT individuals. This sadly …
By Tony Attwood Arsenal’s doom and gloom, manufactured and spread by the Anti-Arsenal Arsenal, with their allies in the press, has gone further up the scale this week. Sagna has apparently been offered only a one-year extension to his current contract, which takes him up to the age of 32. He’s clearly a great player, …

By Walter Broeckx So Arsenal has done it again. Loosing at Olympiacos. It is getting a bit of a habit in the last seasons. Always the last game of the group, always a rather unfamiliar Arsenal team out on the field. From last weeks starting line up only Szczesny, Jenkinson and Vermaelen were on the …
By Tony Attwood As pointed out by many people below, the team I made up is impossible since some of the players didn’t go, one is misspelled and one isn’t in the champions league squad. Ah well… But if someone would like to have a bash at putting up the actual team rather than endlessly …
By Walter Broeckx When I heard the news today I couldn’t really believe it. A linesman in Holland yesterday died after being beaten badly by a few 15-16 year old …… I don’t know how to name them to be honest….. I just will call them animals. And this is being disrespectful towards animals I …
By Tony Attwood The common sense analysis of Arsenal’s problems comes down to this: because of the ineptitude of the manager and the board, Arsenal don’t have good enough players. We should spend more, and change the manager. Possibly a new head of the club with a lot of dosh would allow us to spend …

Because for me “my Arsenal” is something from the 70ties. And for someone else it might be something of the 60ties. …

By Walter Broeckx The main thing we can say about the game against Swansea is that the final result was painful. Our first half was one of the worst I can remember. We played too slow and couldn’t keep the ball. Our passing game was nowhere to be seen. Players running with the ball …
By Billy the Dog McGraw “Arsenal’s draw with Everton on Wednesday was probably the best game of the week – real end-to-end stuff with both sides attacking – and I don’t think the Gunners have too many problems, save for some moaning from their fans.” Thus spake Mark Lawrenson. Errrr…. I don’t if I have …
