Today is Gunnerblog’s Birthday

419 comments July 27th, 2007

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the internet terrorists chose today to try and bring down this site: it’s a big day in the Arsenal internet community. Not only is it Tom from arseblog’s birthday (Happy Birthday mate), but it’s also the third anniversary of the birth of Gunnerblog. It’s quite amazing to see the changes the site has gone through since that day:

The original oneThe vomity oneThe previous one

As we enter our fourth year, there’s an even fresher look, thanks to the brilliant work of my chum Gael. However, he’s not been the only person to help out over the years. The aforementioned Tom and arseblogger have been incredibly giving of their time and energies and ability to explain to me what CSS is. I can’t thank them all enough.

In the last year, the number of unique visitors has doubled, and the “Guns” have taken on a life of their own, to the point where I sometimes wonder if anyone’s even reading what I write anymore. It’s exciting to think where we might be a year from now.

Things are still progressing. A new comments system is being mooted, and there are interesting merchandising opportunities on the horizon. If these things never arrive, it’s probably because I’m too lazy/inept to pursue them, but it’s just great that they’re even possible.

So here’s to another three years, another few hundred waffling posts, and most importantly, another First Gun.

Di Maria/Reyes Transfer News

106 comments July 27th, 2007

Angel Di Maria: the rumour that was then wasn’t then was then wasn’t again.  After quotes this morning turned what we had believed to be a hoax into a genuine possibility, the brief flicker of hope was whipped away from us by the news that Di Maria was set to join a cash-flushed Benfica.  Alas.

Jose Reyes reportedly has 48 hours to decide whether or not he wants to join Lyon.  Considering how difficult he’s been during his time with us, I imagine he’ll decide that he won’t because he wants to go to Real Madrid for £9.99.

Late update today due to some blog-based trauma.  You’ve probably noticed the comments are set for moderation, but I only expect it to be a temporary measure.  Some idiots ended up bringing the server down, and sadly at the moment I can’t afford to risk that happening again.  I’m working on a solution though, so don’t worry.

I’ll try and allow through the comments that aren’t going to stop the website from working.
