By Tony Attwood There have always been some people who like to leave the ground early, but this strange and eccentric habit seems to have got worse and worse and worse in recent years. I suppose it was harder to get out when we had a ground that had large standing sections, and for those …
By Walter Broeckx I have recently seen a very interesting stat on the internet about the presence/absence of Ramsey for Arsenal and what it means statistically if he is playing – or not. And the numbers are really amazing to be honest. I have been a big fan of Ramsey since he arrived and defended …
By Walter Broeckx When I was doing my match report of the match against the tiny totts something strange happened. Now I must explain a bit how I do my match reports. I start before the match with the teams and then just type things that I see or that I think are important to …
By Sir Hardly Anyone; Our Head of Blogetta and Spoof-man of the century is down the pub.

By Tony Attwood So it wasn’t just me who picked up on Damien Comolli’s suggestion that the injury crisis in football is not all down to Arsenal, but is down to nationality. The Telegraph today tells us that more than a quarter of the Premier League’s 142 English players unavailable for international selection because of …

. By Proudkev It seems a day doesn’t go by when someone, somewhere tries to discredit Arsene Wenger’s record. How many times has it been repeated that George Graham handed Arsene success with that back 4? This is a regular weapon in the armoury of the Wenger Out Brigade and is often repeated in the …

By Tony Attwood I really do want to start with my thoughts about the Armistice commemoration at the Ems yesterday. I have stood for so many moments of silence to show sympathy, understanding and thanks, that in the end the silence can (for me) start to lose its meaning. Not always, of course: when I …
By Walter Broekx The question that Tony asked this weekend was answerd by Wenger. Koscielny did start in the team for this Norh London Derby. For the rest no changes for this last math before the interlul. On the bench we saw Ospina back for the first time since his injury he got in the …

By Bulldog Drummond Mesut Özil does ‘the hardest part of football’… has the Arsenal star finally silenced his doubters? That was a headline in the Daily Mail this week followed by the usual bullets… Mesut Özil has more assists, and chances created, than any other player in the Premier League this season Chris Waddle says …

by Tony Attwood I know many fans have a whole plethora of pictures of Arsenal in their homes. I’ve got a lot of books, which of course I use as reference material for the Arsenal History Society articles I write, but there is only one Arsenal picture. It is the cover of a Highbury programme, …
By Tony Attwood As we all know Laurent Koscielny could have played against Bayern but was left on the bench. It is a fairly obvious conclusion given that if he was on the bench he could have played. That’s that, nice and simple, although it didn’t stop the inevitable “Koscielny could have played against …

By Tony Attwood Olivier Giroud’s record for Arsenal this season is simple to understand. He has played 16 games and scored 8 goals. 50%. If we just take league games it is six in 11. Similar to last season in the league where he scored 15 in 28. . But throughout the summer …
By Tony Attwood It is amusing to see the way the media twists and turns in its opinions, as if somehow we won’t remember what they said yesterday, let alone last week. And dare I suggest that a small number of the scribblers are at least getting someone else to read Untold for them, if …

By Tony Attwood TV pundits have it easy. For unless we keep a collection of their ramblings on hard drives, or make notes as the programmes run, their wild comments about who is going to win the league and who will struggle are lost for all time. TV stations don’t do re-runs of their pundits …

By Tony Attwood Two things I learned from last night’s game. One is that I can never guess what Walter is going to say in a review and the other is that Arsene Wenger is changing his style of commenting on his players. I thought Ozil’s goal was ok. Now I am not a …
By Walter Broeckx Arsenal made two changes to the team compared to last weekend match against Swansea. Debuchy came in the place of the injured Bellerin and not exptected but Gabriel came in the place of Koscielny who sat on the bench. Acccording to the German commentator Kos had a hip problem. Well this sure …
By Tony Attwood One new injury – but hopefully just for this match: Héctor Bellerín. He has been replaced in the squad by Jeff Reine-Adelaide – which doesn’t mean that Jeff is going to play, but does tell us quite a lot about how the young man is seen and valued by the club. Just …

By Tony Attwood A reader recently raised the point that he didn’t particularly want Arsenal to buy more players but buy better players. So I wondered just how good Arsenal players actually are. I’ve taken two measures. One a list of the top 20 from today’s Daily Telegraph, which runs its own listing, I think …
They have tried blaming the pitch, the grass, and above all they have tried blaming Arsène Wenger. They are the press and their blogetta camp followers. They seize on comments such that “Arsenal have held a comprehensive internal analysis of the club’s preparation and training” when in fact all sensible Premier League clubs do exactly …

By Walter Broeckx With Arsenal not doing too shabbily in the PL so far this season it must be a hard time for those wishing us to do rather badly in order to get rid of Mr Wenger. One of the phrases that then is used is ‘there is no trophy to be won for …
