Last time I saw a game at Ninian Park I found the most interesting thing of the afternoon was the police tactics – but I thought that was a one off. This time it was crazier, more bizarre, more insane. Even in the wild days of the 70s it was never quite like this. As…
In a couple of weeks time Eduardo will be back in the squad, possibly playing as a sub in the Wigan league cup game, possibly being a sub in a subsequent league game. Either way, assuming none of the others gets injured in the meanwhile this will be our forward situation Adebayor, Van Persie, Eduardo,…
I’ve been in Cardiff for a couple of days, having managed to tie together a couple of meetings with today’s game. I’ve driven past the hotel where the lads are staying, and if I were writing in the pop press or for ITV or BBC I’d be “sampling the atmosphere”, but in truth there hasn’t…
On 25 February 2001 Manchester Utd (later to become Manchester Bankrupt) beat Arsenal 6-1. Manchester went 16 points clear at the top of the table. Since 1991 we had won the league just once. In those days we hardly had blogs at all, but the fanzines were hugely active in calling for Wenger’s head. Had…
This question arose because yesterday I made the point that I couldn’t see Arsenal screwing up its contract issues with a player so that he left. One commentator wrote back and suggested that Flamini was one such case where Arsenal had done just that. I beg to differ – and I believe Hleb and Flamini…
One of the great things about supporting Arsenal under Wenger is that I haven’t got a clue what is going to happen. Take Diaby – the notion that he could occasionally run into the top third of the pitch, behave like a proper forward, and score a goal or two, was about the last thing…
Companies, like individuals, that are in trouble tend to be a bit circumspect with the truth when debating their situation. And so we have seen with the situation concerning Liverpool FC – and it looks like there is more to come. I reported that Liverpool’s finances are so awful that the banks that have loaned…
We’ve just had seven league games unbeaten, including three matches against teams above us in the league. And this has been achieved while we have injuries to virtually all of the players whom we would expect to do everything they can to drive us forward and create the goals. And yet according to the majority…
Mr Bean E Tez, manager of Liverpool Insolvency today spoke to Untold Arsenal. “I want to talk about facts. Manchester Utd play every home match at home. You probably don’t realise this but it is true. Sir Alex F Word keeps assaulting referees, and all he gets is probation. No one arrests him. No one…
I got the idea for that headline from the one that says Arsenal could lose Theo for just £400,000. That story is in the Mirror in its football news section. Now the word “News” has within it the word “new” which means, well, sort of new – as in not old. The actual story is…
