Tottenham could decide the Championship
Paul Collins
The final weeks of the 2009/10 season are shaping up to be fascinating. When was the last time we had 3 teams in serious contention for the Championship at this late a stage in the season AND at the same time saw the battle for 4th, and the final Champions [...]

Redknapp to be charged with defrauding Revenue and Customs
Untold Arsenal predicts EXACTLY the right score yet again!!!
Oh where to begin?
The is the second Tottenham manager in recent history to have had a little contretemps with the authorities while holding that esteemed office.  In 1987 David Pleat was cautioned concerning kerb crawling (the tactic of driving [...]

So everyone is “carrying knocks” or is downright injured.
I have often wondered about “carrying a knock”.  I mean, carrying where?  In my pocket?  And what, after all, does a knock look like when it is carried?
Is it perhaps a bit like the dark matter that physicists keep talking about every time they try to suggest [...]

I’m rather chuffed that this site made the financial state of football a central talking point long before it became an everyday topic of chit chat.
So it behoves me to give an update – not least because we now have a director on the edge of having to make a bid.
In this piece I cover [...]

Tottenham Hotspur have continued their theme of celebrating matches against Arsenal with a special edition DVD and Spurs coffee mug following the 3-0 defeat on saturday.
The official reason for this release is not that the club like to find every possible way of ripping off its supporters and getting them to fork out good money [...]

Who Are Ya?
By Simon Bailey
The press have gleefully swooped on Arsene’s comments at the AGM and it is now gospel, we are bringing home silverware this season.
Personally, I saw Arsene re-iterating the same position he has taken all season. Pundits are getting very fond of saying that we have more chance of winning the CL [...]

The Sun: “Harry Redknapp has let rip on the eve of his explosive return to Fratton Park. ‘The phone [...]

Billy “The Dog” McGraw speaks exclusively to Untold Arsenal ahead of the vital match against the Tiny Totts.
I tell you something, we ain’t got a fucking chance, darling.  The defence is so over the place we could let in six.  Just make it a pint Vice-Chancellor.
Call themselves defenders, they spend half their time in the [...]

There are no games in the season that fill me with more terror than the Spuds. It’s 90 minutes of having a pulse rate way too high for an old fart, bitten fingernails, and nervous twitches…and that’s when we’re a few goals up.
Yes it has been 10 years almost to the week since the scrawny [...]

No sooner was the Chelsea ban on transfers announced than BBC Radio 5 rushed out an interview with an ex-KGB player who linked this case with the Eduardo case.  It was one of the most sickening pieces of anti-Arsenal propoganda yet launched in the media war on Arsenal.
Chelsea are banned from signing new players [...]

I was thinking of running a regular feature which featured people who said things like, “Arsenal are more likely to end up mid-table than challenge for the title this year”, and who then say, “Some have written Wenger’s team off, but their opening performances suggest…”
Trouble is, there are so many such articles that it would [...]

I am about to leave for a holiday for a couple of weeks – out of the rain of Northamptonshire to the sun of Italy.
During this time I am leaving the site open so that comments can be posted by those who have posted before. However anyone new posting, or [...]

Were the Last Four Years the Worst in Arsenal’s History? by “LRV”
Arsenal joined the old Football League Division 1 (the top flight in English football) in the 1919/20 season. Since then, Arsenal Fans have witnessed the good, not-so-good, poor, not-so-poor, Very good, not-so-bad, bad seasons.
In all of these, one thing remains a [...]

Henry James Redknapp is round about the same age as me, although I think I am better looking.
He is a darling of the media and almost always gets a good press.
But what is his career and his brush with the law? Given that he now resides at the other end of Seven [...]

Articles on Untold Arsenal are so good that they also appear on Team Talk. The same is true with much of our correspondence. The name of the “author” is changed on Team Talk.
Team Talk have been told repeatedly, but won’t stop the activity, so, I think we should celebrate this situation. Read [...]

By Ronny Lamb and Tony Attwood
Aided by the growing number of correspondents around Europe who are now contributing to Untold Arsenal I’ve been pulling together the financial doings of Real Madrid. And here’s the irony. They are just like Manchester IOU. Each is as bust as the other – and there [...]

Depression is not worry – it is a lot worse than that, and can alternate with manic hysteria or with a short-term feeling that everything is wonderful.
So it we look for these traits in EPL supporters, where do we find them?
Newcastle Zebras must be top of the league – except they are not EPL any [...]

It is one of the more bemusing things about the EPL, that each year it seems, the Tiny Totts sack a manager, pay him off, off load some of the players the last manager bought (D Bentley anyone?) and still make a profit.
To put this in context here is a list of the profitable clubs [...]

I spent a jolly afternoon on Wednesday in London, doing my bit being interviewed for a DVD review of last season, pontificating in front of the cameras on the Lord Wenger and all his doings etc. Of course the great danger is that one can, in the heat of questioning, make a prediction or [...]

UPDATE – since I wrote this article it seems Setanta is going bust. I have added an update commentary based on that view, in the correspondence column that follows the article.
Here’s the original article…..
Shock horror, English football is falling apart – and Arsenal are making a signing of someone who is not 11 years [...]

When the big games come I get nervous – just like most supporters I guess.  Probably the worst occasion was the final game at home to Leicester in the Unbeaten Season.  I had hoped I would be dancing and singing and having a lovely time, taking photos and all.
But the silly buggers were one nil [...]

I once described Eboue as a clown, and got lambasted like mad for it.  What I actually meant to say was that I thought he had a wicked sense of humour like the best clowns – but no one wanted to know about my excuses and I was denounced repeatedly as a racist.
Perry Groves is [...]

Strange days.   Ever since I saw the teams for last night’s Reserve game against the Tiny Totts I have been puzzling over the tactics of the Appy Arry cartoon character who seemingly runs the show down the poor end of Seven Sisters.
As I was saying yesterday he knew damn well that Arsenal would put out [...]

We win because Tottenham put out a team made up of the players that some of the previous managers have bought for £millions – from Bentley to Bale, Eduardo to someone else whose name I have forgotten.
Arsenal put out a team of 17 year olds.  Jack Wilshere was out with an ankle injury, Fran Merida [...]

Tonight is the Land of Make Believe against the Team of the Future.
Or put it another way, the Even Tinier Totts against Arsenal Reserves.  Except that being the Totts they don’t believe in usijng the Reserves for up and coming youth players, largely because they don’t have up and coming youth players.   This itself is [...]
