By Bulldog Drummond Chelsea sit third, 12 points above us. They could come second, but most likely it will be third when the season is over. However bolstered by the ravingly anti-Arsenal media they will have been helped to see this game as an easy win against a poor and disjointed team.. And yes it …
By Tony Attwood When I was studying psychology one of the key issues was memory – how fast could a rat learn, how much could it remember? At the heart of the experiments were the mazes rats were put through and that devilish device, the Skinner box. Could the rats learn to tap a lever …
By Tony Attwood Life always feels a little better after a win, and life can also feel a little better after the confirmation of the inevitable. The win you probably saw – Very Large Sam (we are not allowed to use his former nickname for political reasons) sat and sulked in his seat, unwilling or …
By Bulldog Drummond There is a great reason to defeat West Bromwich Albion today, and that is that it would send them down. Not that I have anything against West Brom at all – and I am sorry they will get hurt by this, but really, that man Allerdyce is not the right sort of …
by Bulldog Drummond Arsenal v WBA is a game we normally win without too much bother. We’ve beaten them 73 times and they’ve got the better of us 38 times. There have been 31 draws. Reducing the games to this century only we have only been done down by them four times – all four …
By Bulldog Drummond Recently… Arsenal avoid part of the punishment for joining Super League; Barca on the edge of collapse Can “Chaotic Arsenal” manage a win against West Brom? ———- Now I know (because Untold has been running the story in the face of denials on all fronts and endlessly checking the stats) that the …
By Tony Attwood It is being reported that the Premier League clubs which were part of the Super League have now agreed to a Uefa declaration that they will behave in future and not be naughty again. Or in Uefa speak, have signed a ‘club commitment declaration.’ Should they break the declaration they will be …
By Bulldog Drummond In trouble from top to bottom: chaotic Arsenal are failing in all areas screams the headline in the guardian by Nick Ames. Nick Ames in case you don’t know about him is what we call a Super Spreader – he takes a particular vision of football and plasters the written media with …
By Tony Attwood In my last piece Football is not a level playing field, and that should be Arsenal’s starting point I tried to raise the point that solving Arsenal’s problems is not one of simply bringing in a new manager, and maybe half a dozen new players. No, I think that we are going …
By Tony Attwood According to journalists, broadcasters and bloggers, everything has to be simple in football. We need a new defence (actually we don’t). Nothing is wrong with refereeing (there is now huge evidence to the contrary). Changing the manager helps (mostly it doesn’t – the average tenure of a PL manager is 2 …
by Bulldog Drummond According to ESPN, UEFA have not given up the notion of action against clubs that agreed to be part of Super League and which have not yet begged forgiveness. The punishment is said to be a two year ban from European competitions. Seven clubs are said to have bowed down to the …
By Bulldog Drummond We are often asked why, when we are so much against what the media does, we keep giving the media coverage and thus publicity on Untold. Two reasons for this. The big one is that so many people still seem to take what the media says seriously, even though most, when challenged …

By Bulldog Drummond The problem with writing a preview of a European semi-final second leg is that not much has happened since the first leg. Arsenal had a fine win over a Newcastle team who spent the match looking over their shoulders, while Villareal beat Getafe 1-0. And AST have been making a noise. Meanwhile …
By Tony Attwood So, the good guys are talking to Mr Ek (to whose business I pay a monthly fee – just wanted you to know that Mr Ek when it comes to seats for fans on the board). Which is undoubtedly helping the value of Arsenal to continue rising, as it has been …
By Tony Attwood Arsenal are probably going to finish about half way down the league, quite possibly the worst finish since 1982/3 – the worst for 38 years… Pos Team P W D L F A GD Pts 5 West Ham United 34 17 7 10 55 44 11 58 6 Tottenham Hotspur 34 16 …
by Tony Attwood Arsenal, as you will know if you are old enough to remember or if you have read the club’s history, were docked two points in 1990 for the behaviour of their players on the pitch during a bit of argy-bargy in a game at Old Trafford, the so-called Theatre of Dreams. It …
By Tony Attwood It has been my view, since my student days, that commercial organisations, the media and politicians should all be responsible for the consequences of their actions. Of course commercial organisations, the media and politicians deny this, so they can carry on saying and doing what they like, and then shaking their heads …
By Bulldog Drummond The main issue is, how many of the team for next Thursday will be held back today. Sportsmole think several as they offer us a team with a number of obvious choices missing. Of course it is not surprising if Aubameyang gets a start to help him back into form, while Lacazette …
By Tony Attwood The Daily Mirror has decided to return to the old, old theme of dirty Arsenal – suggesting that somehow Arsenal are the nastiest club in the League when it comes to ill-discipline. In doing this they are playing their old game of selecting the statistics that suit their view, while adopting the …

by Bulldog Drummond It’s been a bit of a grotty run of late in the League and Europa competitions across the last ten matches. We’ve won three, of which one was against Tottenham of course, and one was that fantastic win in Prague, but we’ve lost four and drawn three, not the most exciting of …
