A warning...
Don't read this blog if you think that Arsene Wenger walks on water, and don't read this blog
if you lack independent thought and support the club because that is how it is and how it will
always be, and especially do not waste ten precious minutes of your life if you think that writing
a negative blog about the club means that RTK does not love Arsenal.
Getting the job done by Richard B Perspective is a wonderful thing, not least because everyone has
a different one. Facts and opinion become blurred; things that are joyful to some are painful to
others. I am sure that the feeling of any Arsenal fan that saw John Terry's performance against
Liverpool when they were [.
As Untold Arsenal has steadily increased its audience, we have started to attract many comments
on the site from fans of other clubs. Now, for the first time, we are publishing an article by a
non-Arsenal fan.

Living Legend or Past his Sell by Date? By Rob McCauley, a lifelong Norwich [.
Two days ago "A reliable source" source @YouAreMyArsenal reported that Arsenal were close to
securing the signature of Yann M'vila and that the deal was to be confirmed possibly after the
final game of the season.
Yann had Expressed his desire to work with a French manager, So this lead to people claiming he
wanted to join Arsenal.
Meet Luke McQueen. Luke's an Arsenal fan who cheated on his girlfriend. And now he regrets it. By
way of penance, he's turned up at the Emirates Stadium on matchday wearing a Tottenham shirt.
Luckily for you he's also made a short video explaining what he's up to and uploaded it to YouTube
for you [.
By Alan Duffy
No doubt cheesy Brit film writer Richard Curtis is already planning to use this incident in his
next twee Hugh Grant vom-com, but Gooner Luke McQueen, who does have more than a touch of the
posh-fop about him, probably deserves some credit after posing outside the Emirates in a Tottenham
shirt.
Although Arsene Wenger (and nearly every Arsenal fan) lost confidence in the little Russian Andrei
Arshavin, it seems that a return to his hometown club Zenit St. Petersburg has given the Russia
captain a new lease of life and he has helped his old club to win the League title. This is good
news for [.
Famous Sportsmen and women, and the football teams they support - originally posted on

Football truly is a global game, and the biggest teams have millions of fans throughout the
globe. However the draw of the Premier League does not end with Joe Public, as numerous famous
sportspeople from other disciplines follow the beautiful game.

What a week. After suffering a league-deciding 2-1 defeat to Madrid on Saturday, Barcelona's
2-2 draw at the Camp Nou against 10-man Chelsea now sees the Catalans bow out of Europe's elite
tournament.
Morning all from a Dublin where summer has arrived. I assume that the absence of torrential rain
is a sign of summer. Maybe I'm getting it wrong.
We'll start today with the news that Robin van Persie's agent has apparently had a nice cup of
tea and a chat with Juventus who would very much like to sign him this summer.
The Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesnt has proved many times this season that he is a committed
Arsenal fan as well as being a valued member of Arsene Wenger's squad, but he is humble enough to
realise that his place as Arsenal's Number One is still not etched in stone, and once he has played
500 [.
The Arsenal fans by Vinay What makes a football club big? What makes a football club successful and
respected? If you answer money, if you answer titles, if you answer world wide reach, then you are
all partly true. What really makes a football club survive and grow big is its fans. The fans for

Arsenal have not had stellar English Players As Consistently As Man United. Man U has had
Beckham, Scholes and now Rooney At the Core of their Side for the Last 20 years, More or less.
Man United's Success is mostly a result of these players.

As is his perpetual ruddy-faced wont, smarmy 'celebrity' Arsenal fan Piers Morgan took to
Twitter to gloat after his side put the kibosh on Man City's title aspirations at the weekend the
dribble flecking his jowls as he amused precisely no-one but himself by aiming a few choice Tweets
in the direction of City's former-Arsenal contingent.

Oooh Samir Nasri certainly knows how to annoy Arsenal fans and he has now bet the sum of £10,000
that he will lift a trophy with Manchester City before Arsenal win anything. Na$ri came in for a
lot of stick from Arsenal supporters during this weekends game against City, and the famous Arsenal
fan Piers [.
It was the Papiss Demba Cisse show again! Another brace and the second one had genius written
all over it. Another hat tip to Yohan Cabaye for creating both chances.
The Toons are now in fifth just behind Arsenal and Spurs. They are the cleverest team in the
Premiership when it comes to opportunism.
QPR vs Arsenal Match preview and favourite line-up (plus score prediction) by KJ It's happy times
as an Arsenal fan. We're on 7 wins now and can extend that to 8 against Queen Park Rangers. Arsenal
haven't won 8 games on the trot since the Invincibles season. It would show a sign of intent from

Alan Shearer believes boss Kenny Dalglish remains "the right man to take Liverpool forward" despite
the Reds' poor form in the Premier League.
The Reds have won the Carling Cup and are in the FA Cup semi-finals but have won only two league
games in 2012.
Shearer, who won the title under Dalglish at Blackburn in 1995, said: "That is disappointing, but
you have to be careful in criticizing Kenny.

It seems that racial abuse reared its ugly head again at the Emirates on Monday night. Cheick
Tiote - in action on Monday night The news is that at about 67 minutes into the game an Arsenal
fan behind one of the goals was shouting racial laced stuff at Newcastle midfielder Cheick
Tiote. And TV cameras zoned in on one [.
It doesn't add up to a majorly significant episode in the great scheme of Arsenal things in our
club's illustrious history. It won't be remembered as and when those in attendance last night
recollect the famous game at the Emirates when the glorious Gunners came within an outstretched
palm of pulling off a stunning Champions League comeback.
Well, what to make of that? One of the most exhilarating matches I've watched for a long time. We
came close, but not close enough. Thoughts as follows:
* In my preview, I argued that we could win the game if we got one goal early on, and one before
half-time, which would make the second half anyone's game.
During his pre-match press conference this afternoon, Arsene Wenger remained in good spirits
ahead of his side's Champions League clash against AC Milan.
The Gunners will need to score at least 4 goals against the Serie A giants tomorrow night to
have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals of the competition.
Another massive three points, especially with Chelsea losing away at WBA, and a big result at a
ground we have struggled at over the years. Any Arsenal fan not satisfied after today's showing
must ask themselves some serious questions about their own mental state. There were many
positives, some negatives, and a lot of big talking points, certainly the absolutely pathetic
behaviour of several

Untold Injury Index – Gameweek 26
By Dale Higginbottom
Being an Arsenal fan in the 2011/2012 season has really been a bit of a roller coaster ride.
Some of the results we have been part of include the 8-2, the 4-3, the 5-3, the 7-1, recently the
4-0 defeat to AC Milan and now to [.
The Emirates has often been accused of being antiseptic, lacking atmosphere. This Arsenal fan
put that to rest celebrating wildly after RVP's goal leveled the scores in the north London derby.
A few more unhinged fans like him and the Gunners should have no problems ending their title
drought.
There's a bloke named Winston who arguably has the "best job in the world" if
you're an Arsenal fan. For the love of Redknapp, who the hell is Winston, you ask? He works
exclusively in Arsenal's dressing room at the Emirates stadium, sits in the empty cubicle at the
far left (unoccupied by players) on match-day and ensures that the operations run smoothly.
Key battles against Tottenham by KJ The most important game of the season is today. This is always
important to any Arsenal fan especially so where the tides have changed between the two teams.
Arsenal will always be top dog in London but we need to stamp our authority. We've done that
against Chelsea and [.
Ducky's Note: A BFZ introduction is due to Chambo, our latest writer who we
presume thinks he is a combination of Chamakh and Ramsey. From that you must have figured that he's
now the 1325th Arsenal writer we have got, leading us very close to becoming
Big-Arsenal-and-a-few-others-Za.
Arsenal fans could cost the team 4th place. by KJ Last week has been one of the hardest as an
Arsenal fan for me personally. Not because we lost but because of the way we did. The team looked
gutless at times and there was no drive or passion. As a result from such performances [...]
The Champions League Round of 16 draw
NOTE: Due to a technical snafu, this post wasn't
published yesterday morning (despite my scheduling it). The post below was written on Sunday, prior
to any of the Champions League games. I must say, I hope I predict the outcomes of today's
(Wednesday's) games as well as I did Tuesday's.

After a pleasant drive up the A1 with the sun bursting through and illuminating the clouds of
smog over Middlesbrough, we arrived in Sunderland in plenty of time for a pre-match libation. The
William Jameson on Fawcett Street offered fine ales at rock-bottom prices, a combination few can
refuse.
Many of you will now be aware of the Twitter row between cocky celebrity Arsenal fan Piers
Morgan and outspoken fringe player Emmanuel Frimpong that took place last night in the wake of our
2-0 FA Cup exit to Sunderland.
Let me make this clear very early: I detest Piers Morgan. I think he's a vile
attention-seeker.
Arsenal: The season that promised so little duly delivers - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Cesc Fabregas was overtly forthcoming in his love and admiration for Arsenal as he left for
boyhood club Barcelona. His sentiments were admirable and no doubt appreciated by many an Arsenal
fan sympathetic with his situation, but ultimately it was of little consolation as their club lost
a genuinely world class player.
Milan was the venue for Arsenal's travelling support as they went to Italy to cheer the boys on
against a genuine European giant in AC Milan. Unfortunately, some of the travelling hoard managed
to take things a little too far, and there were nasty scenes before the game between fans and
police, after which one Arsenal fan was arrested.
When visiting a foreign land, it's important to locate their most iconic cathedral and get to
work on your day drinking right in front of it. And as seasoned European travelers, Arsenal fans
did just that outside Milan's Piazza del Duomo ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League
match.
