. 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 [...]
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,

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 [...]
I started this list the other day, just because I wanted to try and get my head around all the
names of young players that crop up. There was some laughter and criticism of my efforts laughter
because I managed to get people in twice, and criticism because it was said that
younggunsblog.co.uk/ and arsenalyouth.
Untold Arsenal runs a list of up and coming young players who we expect to break through into the
first team at some time in the next year or four. It's called the Golden 30, although for reasons
that will not become apparent at this time, it has only 28 players on it at present. One [...]
by Tony Attwood With Wellington Silva joining us full time in January, Arsenal are stepping up the
South and Central American connection. Samuel Galindo is Arsenal's latest transfer costing
€500,000. He is Bolivian, captain of the under 20s, he is 6′ 3″ tall, left footed, an
attacking midfielder who can play either in the centre, [.
By Nick Tolhurst The truth about the success of the German national team and what it means for
Arsenal. Despite losing to Spain in the semi-final, the story of this year's world cup has without
doubt been the rise of a new, exciting and multi-cultural young German team that has put much
heralded and more [.
By Tony Attwood If you ever care to meander out of the present day to the dim and distant past you
might have noticed that on the Woolwich Arsenal site we are running a series on the players who
started the first match of the 1910/11 season for Arsenal. Which made we want to think [...]
by Tony Attwood Arsenal, in terms of any player of any age, who is thinking of getting a transfer,
has a number of attractions. One is obviously Arsène Wenger, who is so highly regarded worldwide
as a coach. Another is the training facilities. Another is the ground. Then there's the year
after year of Champions [.
Well hi diddley dee do! I have just spent 2.5 years screaming about the insanity of football in
the EPL and how it will all end in tears, and what do you know? It is all ending in tears!
(Apart from those down the pub where it all ends in beers). There is so much happening [...]
How Arsenal came to the rescue of English football. By Tony Attwood I started researching this
article with three questions in mind: a) Why is England so bad at football b) Why does Arsenal
under Wenger use so few English players? c) Why does the Netherlands, with its small population
seem to do better than England at football?
Arsenal on Twitter @UntoldArsenal Untold Arsenal on Facebook here by Tony Attwood Where are we?
We have the usual crop of injuries but thus far we cope and we are coping far better than before.
Cesc running on half throttle, Vermaelen not running at all, Van Persie out for virtually the whole
season and [.
By Walter Broeckx Great was my expectation when I saw the names of Fran Merida and Jack Wilshere on
the team sheet. I have seen them play a few games in the Carling Cup, the Emirates Cup, in the
reserves and even in the Champions League. When they play in the Emirates cup, which after all is
[...]
Let me make it clear that this is not a tirade against Fran Media. If he goes, or if he has
already gone, then I will be sorry, but I'll understand. It is what agents do to young players.
Get games every week, grass is always greener, all that stuff. But if he is going, I [...]
I have only just found out about the Soccer Lens Awards (thanks to our good friend Gf60) so there
is only a day or so left for getting entries in. (Sorry I have been so taken up with all the
events of the last few days. Fancy Liverpool losing all their players at once. Well [...]
Tonight the ref is the number one ref in Belgium. Or as Zafod Bebblebrox says in the
Hitchhikers' Guide "Belgium Man!" Here's the assessment of our resident Belgian Referee: Walter
Broeckx........ I really hope he doesn't screw up on us. Last season he had the Liverpool Real
Madrid game and before the game there was [.
This was quite a survey, done all proper and exact like. None of your fiddling of results and
mucking about. We went through three stages. Part One:the first gathering of names I asked for
suggestions of names as to who might make it from the ranks of the reserves and the youth team into
the first team next [.
Sometimes I get the distinct feeling that football isn't real at all but is just made up. I mean,
we have got through to the quarter final of the Euro Cup which is further than our recent rivals
Chelsea and Liverpool, and the same as Manchester United. We went out when playing a reserve team,

This week's special activity: Go to your local public library this week and ask them to order a
copy of "Making the Arsenal" by Tony Attwood. You don't have to read it but I would like to get a
few more sales as we are coming out with a new edition shortly. (And if you were [...]
———————— Today's Sponsor: I am not going to tell you: it's a surprise
——————————— It is easy to argue that Wenger should go by taking one issue and
shouting it, without any backup argument. But it is harder to construct the logic over a larger
number of issues.

Arsenal have won the Premier Academy League - the first team ever to retain the title. What's
more they have secured their position as the most successful youth team club of all time. What's
more, Arsenal won the title without using their main players from last year. Jay Emmanuel Thomas,
for example, who could have played, [.
By Tony Attwood Through a special arrangement with the excellent Young Guns web site, Untold can
now bring you the in-depth news concerning our latest youth signings. You might remember (if you
were paying attention that is) that I went into a spin after Arsenal became the first team to
retain the Academy title, and indeed the [.
One of the crazier sidelines of the failure of England to do very much in a world cup final has
been the parade of has-beens (as opposed of course to people like me who have never been in the
first place) saying that England needs to "clear the decks" and "wipe the slate clean" and [...]
Egg on face, custard all over face, total red face... how do I express my utter embarrassment?
After weeks if not months laughing at the Tiny Totts and others not managing to put together a
reserve team, Young Guns (exquisite, up to date and far more accurate than Untold on such matters)
has revealed that [.
Having pulled out of the reserve league structure Arsenal have agreed to return, having won a
number of concessions from the league. The key change is that during the winter months when the
pitch at Barnet can get rather rough and bumpy, Arsenal has the right to play its reserve matches
behind closed doors at [.
By Tony Attwood It seems like forever since we had any real football, but there's only five days to
go before we start again as usual at Barnet. Last season the game was curious: we had two different
teams out for the two halves (that's fairly normal) but with some of them playing out [...]
Jack Wilshere joined Arsenal aged 9, JET joined Arsenal aged 9, Jay Simpson joined Arsenal aged 9
Henri Lansbury joined Arsenal aged 9, Emmanuel Frimpong, joined Arsenal aged 11 (we were a bit late
there, but to be fair he had just come from Ghana) Craig Eastmond joined Arsenal aged 11 (ditto
must be [.
Below is the team that played in a reserve game earlier this week against Boreham Stiff, (sorry
Wood). Szczesny Nordtveit – Bartley – Miquel – Cruise Aneke – Randall – Ozyakup Murphy
– Afobe – Miyaichi Wellington Silva was on the bench, coming on at half time. So what do we
learn from that?
We've got the Jack, Jack, Jack by Walter Broeckx Some people who like a bit of hard rock will now
where I have got this line from. It is the chorus of an ACDC song which is mostly sung out loud by
visitors of their concerts. As I haven't been in the Emirates ever when Jack Wilshere [...]
by Tony Attwood For years there has been a general assumption that there are only three ways of
developing a club and two ways of making money out of football. You can make your club grow (so it
was always said) by Development Method 1) Buying in those who are already acknowledged to be the

By Tony Attwood Arsenal is more than the first team, more than the "25″ it is a collection of
teams including an all-conquering women's team, and a youth team that has taken three trophies in
the last two years. Additionally we have our loanees. The number of these will rise over time (we
hear [.
Phil Gregory So with the transfer window shut, and no deals still pending approval for last
season's top three, let's see how this year's title contenders have fared in their summer dealings.

By Tony Attwood Carlos Vela was 21 last March, according to my maths, and yet it seems like he has
been here for centuries. In fact he came in in 2007/8 but didn't start playing for us until the
following season. Year on year his stats are 2008/9 Starts 10 Subs 19- Goals [...]
By Tony Attwood It was gruesome for the start of the season. Played four, won one, lost two,
drawn one. Worst of all a horrible 2-5 defeat to Manchester City (not their Elite that's the
reserves but their under 18s). We are used to dominating the under 18. Only team ever to retain
