By Tony Attwood The clubs that are not in the Premiership are getting edgy. Trouble is, they do this every three years and then back down – so their chances of being taken seriously are slight. Back in April 2010 the Premier League clubs made an offer of a package to clubs not in the …

By Billy The Dog McGraw 1: Well, children, first up today is that awfully nice Asmir Begovic who is a Bosnian and who plays for Stoke. Now that ought to rule out anyone signing for Arsenal, but apparently no – although the price tag of £15m suggests that it is the price that could put …
By Tony Attwood The aim of the AAA, in as much as there is a unified aim, appears to be to remove Mr Wenger, Mr Kronke and the board of directors, and replace them with gentlemen of money. But there is more, for there is an assumption that the people who come in, were there …
By Billy the Dog McGraw Oh its all go at the red alert station. And apart from that, we’re also tipped, expected to, enquiring for, and generally throwing ourselves all over the place, while quite possibly being covered in custard. Because the race is on to sign… Well, everyone. And yes it is all true …

By Tony Attwood Football is tribal, and oh how we like to laugh when misfortune befalls the neighbours. And equally how they love to laugh at us. So it goes. But at least for some Arsenal and Tottenham fans (and I count myself among them) there is still enough civilised behaviour left within our souls …

By Walter Broeckx The hard life of a blogger. After the Arsenal match today I had to go to my own game and so I couldn’t write my usual after-game thoughts. And because of other things I had to do I couldn’t even write my ref preview. So another Untold novelty : the first ref …

OH, WHAT A BAD KNIGHT! – by Mal Davies This article concerns the match on Tuesday 5th March 2013 : Manchester United v Real Madrid (1-2, aggregate 2-3) in the champions league. I’m publishing it because although the match was a little while ago, the central point in this post is incredibly important. It reveals either …
Adam Brogden An acquaintance of mine asked me a question some time ago, and this question has had me thinking for quite a while now, not only because of its possible ramifications on the footballing industry, but also because this person earns a living out of the game and has done for the last twenty …

By Tony Attwood It is not that I have anything against The Times newspaper – although its current state is a sad travesty of the paper I used to read many years ago. It is just that their editorial teams is such a bunch of total prats. In fact looking at the Times this week, …
By Walter Broeckx Let me start by saying that the title of this article is not about how close we came to qualify for the next round. But more on that later. I think our win at Bayern Munich has made a few things clear. And maybe we can put some things to bed now. …
By Walter Broeckx After a long time finally an Arsenal game today. The return leg of the CL game against Bayern Munich. Lots of players are out. At first the bad news came for Bayern Munich with the fact that Schweinsteiger would be out. And then it was confirmed that Ribery also would be out. …

By Walter Broeckx We have already have seen the first thing that is wrong with the referees in the Premier League, by showing we don’t have enough referees. But it gets worse. Because of some refs not being allowed to do games from certain teams. This could be because the ref has let the PGMOL …
FOOTBALLING SUPERSTITIONS & RITUALS by Don McMahon We all know that superstitions and ¨lucky charms¨ play a significant role in all supporters and players,managers and administrators lives when it comes to pre-game preparations.
