Welcome to the ClockEnders blog.
Fraz goes on his holidays
Written on 5th, July 2008 by ClockEnd RyanFellow Gooners how are excited are you???the fixtures are out and what a great feeling knowing it is only a few weeks away and counting!!!
West Brom home first game of the season,settle for that. I think West Brom are in the prem to stay, for a season at least. Having known about Tony Mowbray from his time in Edinburgh when he was Hibs manager he is a very organised and a well respected coach. I really wish Tony Mowbray all the best as he really turned Hibs around as Arsene has with Arsenal though not to the same level of course. My Dad is a die hard Hibs fan and has been a season ticket holder for over 30 years.
Of course i hope on his first day in the premiership he falls flat on his big hooter, but over the course of the season i do wish him well.
Ok on to the more important stuff!!!
I have been slightly concerned at the lack of activity in the transfer market though we know that Arsene will make the necessary signings. I think he will wait before committing himself to see who is going e.g Hleb (goodbye and thanks for fuck all!!!), Adeyboyer (thanks for a few cracking goals most of all against the muppets from the poor end of 7 sisters rd…..) I will not be to dissapointed to see Ade go to be honest certainly not for the amounts being quoted, as to i wouldn’t lose sleep over Gallas going.
I have said previously as long as anyone wears the shirt with the cannon on the badge then i will support 110% though i wouln’t be sad to see a few go.
On the other hand i would lose sleep over Fabregas going……. which of course won’t be happening!!!I would love to see him handed the captains armband next season - 21 years of age Arsenal captain,Arsenal legend!!!! Tony (Mr Arsenal) Adams springs to mind.
Loving the new kit - i had it ordered weeks ago.Normally i would order through Arsenal but having going on holiday 2 days after i was panicking, would it be here what if it is lost in the post or delayed??. As it turned out i ordered from a local sport shop who after having the staff doubley convince me it would be in on Thurs. I arranged for the wife to pick up as i was working on Wednesday. She came home from work moaning i have had to cancel a course tommorow because i need to pick up your new bloody top…………. top wife + top Gooner!!! Rushed home Thurs to try on, delighted straight in the suitcase for hols.
Looking forward to the Emirates Cup as a fellow ASSC member is having his stag doo in London that weekend……… he wasn’t allowed to go to the Amsterdam tournament with the boys…….. PUSSY!!Anyway look out for a naked Scottish dude tied to a lampoast at Kings X station with a Spuds scarf wrapped round his manhood on Aug. 2nd,3rd.
As always best wishes to all Clockenders readers and of course my good friend Block19er from all at Arsenal Scotland.
Finally i see that North London Council have issued new street signs which we all must adhere to tidy the place up.
Cheers,
Fraz
REDaction update / Possible Sky & Setanta fixtures?
Written on 4th, July 2008 by REDactionHello all, It was good to meet some of you again at the Rising Sun in Berkhamsted last Sunday, & it was nice that three other REDaction guys came along with me (even if 2 of them do only live in Berko & Hemel – so it was not far for them to travel at all). A pleasant afternoon spent with fellow gooners explaining the logic behind canal locks!!
REDaction made an “official” press announcement yesterday, well, we say that, we basically sent out an email to all our contacts, the contents of the email are below:
PRESS RELEASE
In the current climate where some footballers only seem to care about themselves and/or their retirement fund, REDaction is very pleased to announce that fans are not the same. We are pleased to confirm the details of our charitable donations for the 2007/08 Season.
Last season REDaction raised money for charity via various methods: Auctions, Raffles, Bucket Collections and Christmas Party Ticket Sales are just some of the ways.
We also sold various items and the profits from these sales also go to charity: Arsenal related CD’s, Badges, Scarves and Kenny Sansom Signed Autobiographies.
These charitable donations would not have been possible without the very generous support from the Arsenal fan base that have visited the Rocket Bar Complex and dug deep. So a very big ‘Thank You’ to all Gooners that have helped us towards our totals.
Donation Information:
Ray Kennedy Day: £850
Treehouse: £2000
The Willow Foundation: £4000
Grand Total: £6850
For the 2008/09 Season, REDaction will continue to support Bob Wilson and everyone at The Willow Foundation.
We will also most probably support Arsenal’s charity of the season as and when this is announced.
For any questions or comments, please feel free to contact REDaction
Victory Through Harmony
So Barca are going to offer us £30M for Ade? TAKE IT ARSENE!!! I would take £25M for him no problems, maybe even less, so if we can really get £30M, we must do it!! Then again, this is all in the papers, so it could be a load of old crap.
I have seen Block19er’s picture of him in his new top, I am glad he likes it, I don’t that much right now, to me our tops should always have white sleeves that can be clearly noticed from a distance – that is one of the traditions of Arsenal FC. I do on the other hand like the away top. I got a brochure in the post from the club yesterday. So fair play for the away kit.
It may seem like a long way off now, but 2011 & 2013 are big years for Arsenal – 2011 is our 125th Anniversary & 2013 is 100 years in Islington. The club work on the design of a new kit a good 18 months to 2 years before it is in the club shops, so they will be thinking of the 2011 design some time during the coming season!! So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, you should think about getting them into the club now!!
We have been told that the Fulham away game is scheduled for the 5:15pm KO – which is good news if you want to get shit faced pre game on our boat!! None of these fixtures are 100% confirmed yet, but this is what we have been told:
Sat Aug 16 12.45pm Sky – Arsenal v West Brom
Sat Aug 23 5.15pm Setanta – Fulham v Arsenal
Sat Sep 20 12.45pm Sky – Bolton v Arsenal
Sat Oct 18 12.45pm Sky – Arsenal v Everton
Wed Oct 29 8.00pm Sky – Arsenal v Tottenham
Sat Nov 1 5.15pm Setanta – Stoke v Arsenal
Sun Nov 9 4.00pm Sky – Arsenal v Man Utd
Sat Nov 15 5.15pm Setanta – Arsenal v Aston Villa
Sat Nov 22 12.45pm Sky – Man City v Arsenal
Sun Nov 30 4.00pm Sky – Chelsea v Arsenal
As I say, not yet confirmed, so these may change.
That’s all for another week
