By Tony Attwood You might remember 1991. But just in case not, here’s what happened. We got drawn away to Wrexham in the FA Cup. 4 January 1991. We had quite a decent team. Seaman, Dixon, Winterburn, O’Leary, Rocastle, Adams, Smith, Merson. You might remember some of those guys. We still chant Rocastle’s name as…
This report was written before the Bradford defeat. But it is still highly relevant as a media analysis because it deals with the reality as perceived by some at all stages of Arsenal’s season. Why can’t they just commentate on the game? By Cameron Wolfe. I watch all my EPL games through ESPN North America….
Reading v’s Arsenal. Commentary by Dumb and Dumber (Ian Darke and Steve McManaman) Cameron Wolfe selects the commentators’ best quotes from the game as available in North America. Arsene Wenger is feeling the heat after Arsenal’s embarrassing cup exit against 4th tier Bradford last week. Reading are in trouble but Arsenal are the real talking…
By Brother Grim There once was a country on an island very, very far away from here that was called Farganistan. It would take you probably a whole day to get there even with the fastest running trains or airplanes. They had a Queen, a Prime Minister, a Parliament, come to think of it. It…
Last year we ran referee reviews on Untold Arsenal. They were written by qualified refs who for the most part were Arsenal fans. This season we wanted to go much further, so we launched Referee Decisions – a web site that publishes reviews of Premier League referees by referees who are supporters of various clubs….
By Tony Attwood I wrote yesterday about how Uefa was facing up to, and failing, a test of its ability and willingness to take on racists. But there is a second that Uefa are facing. What to do about the clubs that are flagrantly ignoring the Financial Fair Play rules, and are simply pursuing a…
By Tony Attwood “FA anti-racist action plan is just an insult” roars the Independent. “Uefa’s cowardly reaction against Serbian racists takes European game several steps backwards,” screams the Sunday Telegraph. “Blatter to discuss Serbia’s racism fine with Michel Platini” says the Guardian. Everyone is getting exercised about racial abuse – each in their own…
The pre Reading game press conference is almost about anything else but the Reading game. At least Arsene’s intelligence and humour always shines through. By Cameron Wolfe. Through the last sixteen years Arsene has been asked thousand upon thousands of questions from the press. As far as I can remember he’s never shirked away from…
By Billy the Dog McGraw “Arsenal’s draw with Everton on Wednesday was probably the best game of the week – real end-to-end stuff with both sides attacking – and I don’t think the Gunners have too many problems, save for some moaning from their fans.” Thus spake Mark Lawrenson. Errrr…. I don’t if I have…
By Tony Attwood I estimated about 300 gathered on and around the roundabout by the Armoury before the game – about one third of one percent of the crowd. At the end there was booing, which is harder to estimate in numbers. The comments are that at least George Graham won us things. Actually it…
