By Billy the Dog McGraw Landlord, The Toppled Bollard, Islington As usual for a Friday I trotted
off to the allotments on Hackney Marshes where I bumped into Dennis Bergkamp who was bemoaning the
state of his turnips. "But what about that Terry Enry?" I enquired, ingloriously. "But what about

It was a tedious morning of "Henry is a disgrace" and "Henry, Eduardo, we investigate the cheats in
football." Then BBC Radio Five Live decided to get Republic of Ireland assistant manager Liam Brady
on. Liam sounded as if he had not slept for a week. But he spoke slowly and clearly, and utterly
refused to be [.

By Walter Broeckx What is it that drags you to London people ask me sometimes. Well I must confess
that you can call me an Anglophile in a way or should it be a "Londonphile" or "Arsenalphile". From
the first moment I set foot in London, I felt at home. It's just a feeling I got. I [...]

Former Supporters Direct Chairman Brian Lomax has been appointed to UEFA's new club financial
control panel. Lomax recently stepped down after four years as chair of the SD organisation that
advises fans on how to gain representation at board level at their clubs across the UK and Europe
with groups in 14 countries across Europe.

By Walter Broeckx Want a player ranking after a game? Don't worry there are 84 trillion sites
that do it, and that is just for Arsenal. But how many sites do reviews of referee performances
match by match, and then use the "Hey-let's-injure-your-players" break to summarise? There is of
course only one place in the Galaxy for such [.

By Cape Gooner, with some additional material by Tony I was watching the Wolves game on Arsenal TV
and was thinking how good a game Diaby was having before he went off. Is he doing a Denilson?
Taking his chance and playing really well, only for the "fans" to pick on every misplaced pass.

By Walter Broeckx Well at the end of the day... we can only trust the Lord Wenger. For those about
who shout BUY, I would like to ask: how are you going to keep all of them happy on the bench as
only 3 players can play in our current system. We still have 2 full internationals [...]

A pointless, pathetic, idiotic, unnecessary, stupid, lunatic, evil match. Holland 0 Italy 0, it
meant nothing, told no one anything, and Robin Van Persie is now out for about 3 months possibly
longer. Tearing ligaments is a bastard of an injury and I can tell you that from experience. My
extremely minor and utterly [.

By Walter Broeckx As Tony recently wrote an article about some terrible grounds in the UK I must
say that one of my favourite things during the holidays is going to stadiums. I usually take a tour
when I can and so I have seen some fine stadiums in the world. Most grounds in Holland are [...]

The Sheffield Wednesday manager recently said that it is "inevitable" an EPL club is going to go
bust. The man from the Wednesday's prediction is that a club will go down to the Championship and
will then go bust because they can't afford to keep paying the players. I would not be surprised
if someone actually [.

It is meaningless drivel week (ie when people who were not born in specific countries and who don't
live there, and have never lived there, claim to "represent" said country. A bit like me
representing Costa Rica spent a nice week there, but that's about it. On the other hand I can
play a [...]

By Walter Broeckx After the month September I gave a first review and one of our readers said then
that he was way too early with this and we had to wait after we would have played some 10 games.
The international break is a good moment to see how we have developed until now. So, the [...]

By Walter Broeckx What is the difference between The Arsenal this season and Arsenal last season?
For this and last season Arsenal were written off by almost all the pundits and it was sure we were
the one who would fall from the top 4.  It is not happening. Why not? Last year around this
time, the championship [.

Rates of 40-1 were being quoted before the match for Billy "The Dog" McGraw's prediction to be
true, and a fair number of the 108,000 UNTOLD ARSENAL readers decided it was worth a flutter. A
fiver on Wolverhampton W. 1 Arsenal 4, with one of those £50 extra bids free if you've never had a
bet [...]

The line up against Wolverhampton Wibbleyous will be much as we saw against the London Street
Directory (the A to Z do try and keep up).  Carlos Vela and Armand Traore are just about ready
for action, but not quite. Denilson hasn't started training yet, but will do so while the silly
internationals are going [.

Two snippettas of news (I know there is no such word, but it is gone 10.30pm in the UK and the gas

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 [...]

Editor's note: Living in the Midlands I tend to set off early for Arsenal games, and don't get back
until after midnight, which means if I leave up the predictions about tonight's game as the lead
story, it is going to look fairly dumb at 10.30pm UK time where I have predicted a 6-1 victory,

With our regular pre-match pundit being asked (bizarrely) to write an essay by his university
(something that never happened when I was a student) we turn this week to Billy "The Dog" McGraw,
landlord of the Toppled Bollard, St Thomas' Rd, for a run down on the match against the London
Street Atlas, or A [.

The case of Cesc Fabregas By Luke Tao (Diceman) He is really a superman. I stumbled onto some blogs
and found various quotes from, who else, those pub bore lot saying along the line of "Fabregas is
not a better player than Xavi and/or Iniesta". I'd say to them; piss off and relocate yourself to
Barcelona then you [.

A word of warning. In this article I will not be hiding my bushel under a 40 watt bulb. I'm over
the parrot. (Sorry if English is not your first language, that's a really stupid play on words.Â
In simple talk I am happy and I am going to boast). Let me put it another way.

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 [.

Big Ears: So Noddy, what did you make of it? Noddy: Well the red half of north London will be
crowing with delight but when you look at the game in detail you can see it is more likely a false

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 [.

By Gf60 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 [.

The pundits' pundit by Walter Broeckx We know them all. The modern oracles. The know-alls. WeÂ
know them as the 'pundits. What do these pundits actually do in football? They say how it should
have been done. They see the mistakes. They see the flaws. Is there somewhere a goal? The pundits
know "who did it".

By Billy "the Dog" McGraw watching the TV in the Auld Triangle God this was awful. Arsenal didn't
have a clue.   Mine's a pint of Carlsberg. When Liverpool attacked Arsenal had no idea how to
clear the ball, and I'll smash the face in of anyone who says anything else. It can't get any
worse.

By Phil Gregory Arsenal welcome Liverpool to the Emirates stadium for Wednesday's Carling Cup tie.

In terms of English clubs that are facing financial disasters we are used to discussing WHU,
Liverpool Beachballs and Manchester U. To that list we can now add Portsmouth.  Their new owner
in September turned out not to be the billionaire Sheik Yermoney but a guy who borrowed £50 off a
bookie's runner and [.

By Phil Gregory Arsenal travel to Upton Park looking to heap more pressure on a beleaguered
Gianfranco Zola. The West Ham boss has not seen his team win since August, and sitting three points
adrift of safety, Hammers fans will be hoping for, but not expecting an upset. Recent form: West
Ham are growing desperate for points, [.

Henri Lansbury - what a player in the making. If for no reason other than to see the midfielder
play for Watford you tuned into Sky last night you would have seen him score a terrific goal. A

Liverpool and Injuries by Jonny Neale Benitez "We have just too many problems, I cannot remember an
injury situation like this." http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_5641497,00.html By my
reckoning Liverpool are 'potentially' missing 6 players for the next game - Gerrard, Torres,
Johnson, Aquilani, Kelly, Kyrgiakos Of those, two players wouldn't normally make the first team
anyway (I [.
