WHY ARSENAL CAN STILL WIN THE TITLE WITHOUT DOING THE EXTRAORDINARY. The last one week or thereabout has been nightmarish for Arsenal fans. The League title hopes seemed dashed as another trophyless season looms. The scandalous 6-Nil defeat to title rivals Chelsea brought an uncomfortable déjà vu. Further discouraging results against Swansea and Manchester City …
By Tony Attwood I wrote a short while ago about the FA and its inability to do anything other than waste money pandering to the corrupt whims of Fifa and allow its name to go forwards into a world cup run in a state based on slave labour. My overarching claim that the media does …
By Tony Attwood There are by and large three main approaches to fixing football matches. The first is the oldest and most obvious: when a footballer or footballers deliberately fix a result, either to help promotion or avoid relegation. This goes back to the early days of the Football League with one of the original …

By Walter Broeckx City started the best in the opening 10 minutes. A few good runs behind the Arsenal defence but the defenders managed to get the ball away before City could have a shot on goal. Dean starting to show a bit of himself by letting a foul on Cazorla (push in the back …
Hello and welcome to the #RioChallenge Live Blog brought to you by Strongbow, where Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their current dip in form with a win against a high-flying Manchester City side. Having dispatched Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford recently, Manuel Pellegrini’s side will fancy their chances against an Arsenal …
D-Sanchez-Cabello Earlier in the season, these match previews were written with a small amount of logic. They might adhere to something along the lines of: said team has weakness, which compliments certain strength of ours. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t, but there was at least a certain amount of reasoning behind a wild …
By Tony Attwood You might think these are troubled times at Arsenal, but look more closely and you will see some real class and character shining through. But first look elsewhere. Man U’s ownership has never shown class – that is self-evident – using the club as a cash cow to feed a shopping mall …
Arsenal v Manchester City 29 March 2014 – The Match Officials Referee – Mike Dean Assistants – J Collin & J Brooks Fourth Official – K Friend Second time in a fortnight and fourth time this year for Mr Dean – That’s too many and far too soon. How have other teams fared with over-exposure …
Revealed! All Arsenal Conspiracy Theories By Sammy The Snake Let me start by stating that I’m only an innocent supporter with a twisted mind, who thinks the atmosphere in these parts of Untold has become far too dark. And with too much time on my hands, I attempt to go where no Gooner has gone …
By Tony Attwood Day after day, as anyone who ever glances at a newspaper will attest, sports journalists sharpen the knives, and night after night as they prepare the next day’s publication they throw them at their favourite targets: mostly specific clubs and specific managers. Yet at the same time, some targets that really should …

By Tony Attwood I started to wonder what Emirates Airlines had done for us, the fans, the people who turn up at the stadium for each match, after I read that Virgin Trains are becoming the main club sponsor of Carlisle United. Virgin (not my favourite rail line as it runs from Northampton to Euston …
D-Sanchez-Cabello The weather has an uncanny knack for mirroring footballing moods, especially in western England where the land pushes further into the Atlantic. Hailstorms are punctuated by sunny skies, wind is a constant and thunder/lightning are never too far away. Last week the weather was positive, as was the football. Chelsea’s lapse was encouraging and …
Arsenal v Swansea 25 March 2014 – The Match Officials Andrew Crawshaw Referee – Lee Probert Assistants – R Ganfield and I Hussin Fourth Official – R East After one FIFA accredited referee demonstrated on Saturday that he doesn’t know the rules of the game nor is he able even to recognise the players involved …
By Walter Broeckx For a few seasons now it has become a normal sight that we see referees with mics wired up with each other to communicate with each other. It is only there for the top leagues of course. Usually lower league referees don’t use it or have it because of the obvious costs …
By Walter Broeckx In our article about the broken legs some people doubted our numbers. First they said that the Fabregas broken leg happened against Barcelona. I would advise you to have a look at the match that just preceded the Barcelona match. On March 27, 2010 Arsenal played Birmingham. And in that match Fabregas …

Editorial note: I can’t get in touch with Dom at the moment re his normal pre-match article, so I’m putting my jottings up. Hopefully Dom will be along in a moment – Tony Chelsea v Arsenal hasn’t exactly been lost under the excitement of the 1000 games, but a lot of the focus has been …
By Walter Broeckx Of course Untold Arsenal is more than happy with the fact that Arsène Wenger will putting his team on the field for the 1000th time in his Arsenal career. I think nobody who knows Untold Arsenal will have any doubt about that. And we have already published a few articles about this …

By Tony Attwood Back in January Untold ran the story of how Tottenham are using the EBay comapny StubHub to sell on tickets in the way that Arsenal runs its own Ticket Exchange. The two approaches are similar, except that StubHub allows people to inflate ticket prices and charge whatever they think they can get …
Millennium Tribute to Arsene Wenger By: Bootoomee I have very little interest in celebrating milestones. General ones like the New Year are particularly unworthy of celebrating in my opinion. It is just another day. I call my birthdays my own New Year and while I take stock of happenings in the last calendar year, I …
