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 [.

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 [.

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 [.

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.
The Reds, already six points off the pace in the Premier League despite a solid home win over

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

Untold Fouls, by Walter Broeckx Since the tackle on Theo Walcott by Ridgewell in the Birmingham
game there is some debate going on about what is allowed when a player tackles and what is not

Alkmaar vs Arsenal preview by Phil Gregory Arsenal travel away to Alkmaar on Tuesday, searching for
a third consecutive win in group H. Alkmaar, managed by Dutchman Ronald Koeman, lie bottom of group
H with a single point after the first two fixtures. As a manager, the former Dutch international is
a bit of an enigma.

Last time Birmingham "Evil Empire" were at the Ems we watched their manager direct players to go
down, lie down, roll around... anything and everything to break up play. It is a testimony to the
magnitude of the Wengerian revolution that we can now saunter past the "Team coach in the goal"
clubs like Blackburn and [.

By Phil Gregory Today, Arsenal welcome Birmingham to the Emirates Stadium for a match that this
Gunner had circled on the fixture list from the moment it came out. For many, this match is far,
far more than just another chance for three points: it's the memory of Eduardo's leg break, Gallas'
meltdown and the moment [.

Black, blackest blackness, Blackburn Rovers, your worst nightmare, the antithesis of football.
Black Blackburn, the embodiment of all darkness and evil, the beelzebub of football, the yawning
heights of the oblivion into which we fall at the end of time, when time itself winds down, to
leave an eternity of rotational fouling and an infinity of [.

by Phil Gregory Blackburn come to the Emirates this weekend, with manager Sam Allardyce arguably
the antithesis of everything our own boss stands for. Ever unpopular amongst Arsenal fans for his
teams' "anti-football" physical approach to the game, credit must be given to Allardyce for making
small clubs punch above their weight for years on end.

By Walter Broeckx We are late in September; the season has been going for some 6 weeks. Time for a

It is interesting that few if any of our so-called journalists are doing a compare and contrast job
on Arsenal's wealth and the abject poverty of football clubs like Liverpool and Manchester U. It is
as if saving money, planning, and making money legitimately (rather than through usury) is now bad
news in the UK.

Arsenal play host to Olympiacos, the Greek champions, on Tuesday evening. The Greek outfit, who

By Phil Gregory Fulham, Arsenal's opponents in the late kick off today are managed by the likeable

ex-Malmo boss has overseen an enormous change in [.

And so it is Fulham who come under the spotlight of "All Tomorrow's Parties" the historic (not to

West Brom, managed by Roberto Di Matteo (formerly of MK Dons) are Arsenal's opponents in the

Being in Liège yesterday it was a great result for us. By Walter Broeckx The trip from the Benelux
gooners took us the "hot city". The stadium is situated next to the river Meuse and looks nice from
the outside but the seats reserved for the visitors have never been cleaned since the Euro 2000
championship.

Disgusting, disgraceful, appalling, shameful: I speak of course of the coverage on Sky Sports last
night. There was a moment of amusement before the game when Redknapp-the-Younger started to talk

off his chair, chuffling like a steam train, grinning [.

off being kicked for their country during Cripplegate Week, and everyone is injured, so we are

It doesn't get much better than Manchester United vs Arsenal, arguably one of the biggest
rivalries in the entire world and by far the most prestigious match to the new campaign. Arsenal
has gotten off to an exceptional start this year, dominating Celtic, Everton, and Portsmouth with
goals galore and from unusual sources, such as William Gallas, their leading goal scorer.

Below we print an open letter to Mike Dean, referee, from Walter Broeckx, referee. But just before
that, here's a quick summary of Mr Dean's career... In 2005 he was suspended from being a ref

his contract".
