The view from the stands: Bolton vs. Arsenal match report

By Phil Gregory

Well, 0-0 versus Bolton was a disappointment and a serious blow to attempts to haul in Tottenham. The odds on that front are getting near the stage where it would be irrational to expect us to overhaul our neighbour should we not shrink the gap over the next few games. Fortunately Chelsea [...]

After Swansea, part 1: The missing link

By Walter Broeckx

When does a team reaches it’s tipping point? Or what is the importance of that one player that rarely catches the highlights but who is so important for the balance in the team? Are Arsenal really a one man team for the moment? And with a one man team I don’t mean [...]

Swansea v Arsenal: a team to dream about, a team to die for

By Billy Le Dog McGraw

My preview for the Leeds game was such a stunning success that I have been asked to write again on the subject. You will recall then we were playing the Yorkshire Grit (which is, as you will now know, made up of coarse sand grains and small stones).

Against such [...]

Arsenal / Leeds – at least its a game where we know the team in advance

By Billy the Dog McGraw

I don’t know if it is just me but it seems to be easier these day to understand what Mr Wenger is going to do in terms of his playing staff for each game.

It is almost like the 1987/88 season when the same players would come out for match [...]

The City reaction: defensive analysis, Lawro and his pie and an Arsenal infiltrator

By Phil Gregory

A 1-0 defeat was certainly difficult to take from a valiant performance away at City. We went there with a multitude of defensive injuries but in fairness, a defensive unit that appeared fairly solid until changes were forced upon us. Indeed it is no coincidence that an injury to Djourou early in [...]

One extraordinary fact about the Man City game

By Tony Attwood

I have the view that having started this blog a few years ago, and now having a fair old number of readers each day, I have a duty to try and keep the thing running, while living up to the original notions behind the blog: that it should be pro-Arsenal at all [...]

Preview: Arsenal, Everton (and the Commons Inquiry Comes Back to Haunt Me)

By Phil Gregory

Before I kick off the preview proper, I thought I’d briefly mention the Commons Inquiry into Football Governance. As long-term readers will know, about a year ago I put together a submission for it, and wrote it up in a series of articles for Untold. What was great though was the recognition [...]

Wigan host the Arsenal – the preview

Arsenal are looking to bounce back from a disappointing home draw versus Fulham in Saturday’s Premier League game against Wigan. There was controversy last season when we trekked up to Wigan, partly refereeing and partly fixture related. If my memory serves, that game was our second in 48 hours, so in order to avoid injuries [...]

The gateway to hell is slippery with oil; the team are clones, Uefa is bowed. AFC v Oilmen

By Tony Attwood

Manchester: gateway to hell where the roads are slippery with oil, and the downward path leads inexorably to Hades, or Liverpool as it is known in popular culture.

Manchester City will have quite possibly Samir Nasri playing. While Mr Nasri doesn’t seem to have had it quite the same as Flamini did [...]

The Untold Preview: Arsenal vs. Fulham

A great match in midweek versus Dortmund secured our Champions League qualification, and with it the opportunity to perhaps rest a few legs in the final group game. The Carling Cup game early next week is another such tie, but with City coming to the Emirates rotation is most likely to be on a “needs [...]

When you are proven wrong you can apologise, shut up or talk about something else

Arsenal versus Marseilles preview: Qualification beckons

Arsenal versus Marseilles has come around, and with it the opportunity to pretty much tie up our Champions League qualification with a victory. Coming top is key in order to increase the likelihood of an easier game in the next round, but many have suggested Wenger may rotate somewhat. The obvious candidate for a breather [...]

Marseille 2 Arsenal 5; match report

By Tony Attwood

Of course one doesn’t like to boast, and I am well aware that quoting oneself is a sign of a thoroughly deluded mind.

But nevertheless, if I may quote from yesterday’s preview.
