Football Hotties On The Beach By Sammy The Snake You simply had to click on this one, didn't you?!
The title just jumped out of the page, and you couldn't resist, right? In fact, I was only
referring to fat old men [.
J'accuse! by Walter Broeckx The EPL is maybe the best league in the World for now. The FA and the
PL organization can be proud of that. The best footballers of the world come to England to play
games at maybe the highest level in the world. Week in week out you can see teams, like Arsenal,
[...]
. By Walter Broeckx This week Howard Webb has taken away the last doubts. He will be the English
ref that will go to the World cup in South Africa. This week he has done everything to deserve this
but before I go to details I will tell you how FAs over the world hand the tickets [...]
Tony's confession I made an absolute howler in the original headline of this piece with a
grammatical error the size of Real Mad's overdraft. It has been pointed out in correspondence,
quite rightly. Normally I don't go back and change a site once published, but this error was so
bad I just couldn't live with it.
By Walter Broeckx Last summer Inter Milan bought the Argentine striker Diego Milito and the
Brazilian midfielder Thiago Motta from Genua. Both had a great season with Inter that won the
league, the cup and off course the champions league. Both players played a major role if we only
look at the final of the Champions [.
By Paul Blythe The Art of Name calling. We all have one, more often than not several. The ones
bestowed upon us by our loving parents and those used by friends and foes alike, often to describe
our obvious flaws and shortcomings. However names often have a deeper more powerful and historic
significance often lost [.
As expected Arsenal Ladies have secured their place in the Super League which will replace the
Premier League next year. The Super League will run through the summer in 2011 and will be made up
of Arsenal Everton Chelsea Doncaster Rovers Bristol Academy Birmingham City OOH Lincoln Liverpool
The top six names come from the existing Premier League, the remaining two are from the Northern [.
Just what do the footballing public in southern Europe think about the issue of Cesc, his contract,
and the fact that Barca are nowhere near as financially sound as the world makes out. We sent out
intrepid report Walter Broeckx to Spain, to keep us up to date on how football appears in such
foreign [.
In the aftermath of the two defeats against Man U and Chelsea there are the inevitable calls from
change and an uprising from those who feel all is not right at Arsenal not least because we get
these calls even with Arsenal are winning. But I'd like to put forward something else: an
examination of [.
The argument about Aaron Ramsey runs roughly like this... The media, with a mixture of traditional
English dislike of success, plus a deep-rooted disgust at all things French, and a desperate need
to create news out of nothing, constantly announce that the only way to beat Arsenal is to rough
them up.
By Walter Broeckx Lots has been said after the Stoke game and the injury that happened to Aaron
Ramsey. Some say what Shawcross did was a legitimate tackle. So let us clear this up for once and
for all. At least until the next Arsenal player gets kicked to pieces. To show this is not about my
personal opinion [.
. Is Wenger doing the trick once again? By Walter Broeckx We all know that if Wenger wants to
buy a player who shows great prospect he is willing to do something special. The story on how
Wenger beat SAF when he signed Aaron Ramsey right under his nose is well known. Ramsey who had been
shown round [.
Forwards: Arshavin, van Persie, Bendtner, Chamakh, Eduardo, Walcott, Vela. By Tony Attwood By way
of explanation I should add that Vela and Walcott have been listed by Arsenal as forwards and
Arshavin as a midfielder. I've just made an arbitary decision and called them all forwards. And
what do we find.
According to Sky with its story, "Wenger steps up preparations" Arsenal are going to have to sell
players to make space in the squad, because of the 25 player rule. They say, Meanwhile, Wenger has
hinted that he may look to move a few players on this summer, with new Premier League regulations
stipulating that [.
By Tony Attwood I do enjoy it when Untold manages to get a bit ahead of the game. We've been
debating the 25 rule for months, have gone through various interpretations, looked at what the
official EPL rules say, doubted the comments on the Arsenal web site, and generally munched the
whole thing over a [.
By Phil Gregory Righto, so Arsenal have released their latest financial statements, so let's have a
look at them. There's been much ado made over record breaking profits and turnover, but it's
important to remember that this is solely attributable to the property development side of the club
and so these bumper profits are largely [.
By Simon Bailey They may be Anti-Arsenal, but they're our Anti-Arsenal or Why they haven't got a
leg to stand on. I love the Arsenal. No, I mean it, I really love the Arsenal. There are things I
love more; my family, my home, and my dearly departed brindle lurcher to name a few. But apart from
these, the [.
Yesterday the football world received some incredibly good news. By Walter Broeckx And by this good
news I don't mean us sending Porto back home with a 5-0 defeat in their bag. That is some very good
news for Arsenal and maybe also for the football world in general but you can't expect fans of
Chelsea or [.
. Untold recently published some thoughts on the players who are part of the club and could be on
the edge of breaking through. I asked for gaps in the list to be completed and for the details of
loans, along with thoughts on the future to be added. Below is a simple compilation of the [...]
In the many comments on the post re the Wigan game there were a number that said that we should
recognise that Wenger and his youth project had failed. One in particular caught my eye: it said
that it was harder to recognise this and face it than it was simply to sit at home [...]
By Tony Attwood Since everyone in the UK is still wondering who is going to run the country, and no
one is reading blogs, I thought I would amuse myself by doing a preview of the game against Fulham
by looking at their finances. Fulham FC is actually a network of companies which ultimately seem
to be [.
by Walter Broeckx I'm not a big fan of international football. Well, maybe that's an
understatement as I think it cost us the title this season with the injury from Robin Van Persie.
When I was watching the world cup today I was wondering: if the world cup would be played with
club teams would it make a [.
by Tony Attwood Arsenal, as we know, has five squads all of which are flexible. And within the
system matters are planned and arranged just as you would expect. We watch the players come up
through the youth team, the reserves and so on. Isn't that how it always go? You'd think so,
[...]
By Walter Broeckx Some have asked my point of view on the game and I must say it is with much pain
in my heart that I will try to analyse the game. I will try to come to the Ramsey incident in the
last part and hopefully by then I get my thoughts a bit straightened [...]
They had to wait until Arsenal put out a team with six first team regulars missing, and a team for
most of the game including our 4th and 5th choice centre backs, but it had to happen one day. After
10 years of waiting, after the endless defeats and humiliations, Tottenham finally managed to beat
a [.
By Walter Broeckx In the so called WC-Bid book that has been finally made public that Belgium and
Holland have put together for the organisation of the Fifa World Cup 2018 we can find some very
strange things. It seems that our former government in Belgium has agreed with all the privileges
that Fifa would [.
By Tony Attwood Just a couple of days after the annual Untold preview of Arsenal's five squads (the
"25″, the cup squad, the reserves, the loanees, and the youth team) the Guardian is reporting
that the EPL is looking to ban loans. In the article "One club five squads" we all picked up on the
[...]
It is hard to imagine that a tactical analysis of how the other team play could constitute "the
biggest insult" that one can give a team. Yet that is what the rather strange M O'Neill said about
our Lord's statements concerning the 0-0 draw in northern Birmingham. I have in the past had a bit
of a [.
It was as if Stoke City had studied the disgraceful tactics of Birmingham City and seen them as a
blueprint rather than a dire warning. And in one way they were right. After all, if you can cut
out a player totally for a year or maybe more, and just risk a 3 match ban [...]
Many of us have been outraged beyond endurance by the assault on Ramsey on 27th February. 24
hours later I am still frustrated an annoyed in a way that is not a normal part of my nature. If I
may speak for once for Walter (who is of course more than able to speak for himself), [...]
I know that this is what we should debate in the summer when bugger all happens but it just sprang
to my mind as I contemplated in amazement the fact that we have more midfielders than we need for
the game against those jolly chappies from the chippy eastern province. Next season we will have
most [.
I was chatting with Kevin Perrett of Arsenal Independent Supporters Association before the Man City
game at the Toppled Bollard (courtesy of Billy the Dog) discussing this, that, and the rest of
infinity, when talk turned to the seemingly growing number of Wenger deniers – the doom mongers,
the catatrophists, the gloomy bastards who see [.
This is the second part of the Thomas Vermaelen interview which was arranged by Walter Broeckx of
the Official Arsenal Benelux supporters club, and a great friend of Untold Arsenal. If you missed
the first part it is here. - WB: Did you ever think of leaving Ajax after you were named captain?
This article was published at about 8am on 11 May but there were reports from readers that it was
not visible, so I am trying it again. Tony There were 15 Arsenal players on loan by the end of the
season. Here's an analysis of them – the percentage figure at the end comes from the vote [...]
By Walter Broeckx No Billy the Dog opening of the season for the moment. Since his last article he
hasn't been seen around in the country. Maybe the witchdoctor has put him under a spell and he
still has to recover. Or maybe he has gone with Tony to Italy and look for a new [...]
By Tony Attwood I pointed out in part 1 of this article that Wenger brought to Arsenal a new
approach to football, not just in the style of playing, but also in the style of coaching, of
economics, and of running the club. However the world changes, and football was not blind to what
Wenger [...]
Untold Arsenal is available both on twitter and on facebook details at the end of the article By
Tony Attwood This season Arsenal are running four squads of players, rather than the five that have
been used in the past... The first team squad (quaintly known as "the 25″) The loan squad The
reserve [.

from India. I really like your posts and thought of sharing my personal views to you and to our
readers. In our country it is said that cricket is religion and every single person has his or her

Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here by Phil Gregory So the news is
in, Russia has the 2018 World Cup and Qatar the 2022. Anyone who is connected to the Untold
facebook page will know my thoughts already, but I decided to elaborate on them and put together a
quick article.
Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here By Walter Broeckx and Tony
Attwood Just look at the facts. We are supposed to be team that according to the pundits is really
a bad team. We don't know how to defend, we don't know how to score, we don't know how to deal with
