Young Guns celebrates a special anniversary today, as it’s six months since the website’s very first article, and i would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their continued support.
Although the very first version of the blog was forced to close, since coming back under the name “Young Guns” we have gone from strength to strength achieving huge success. During the first month we were not registered on any news syndicates such as NewsNow or Gooner News, but testament to our hard work, and your fantastic support, we are steadily establishing ourselves amongst a competitive array of Arsenal blogs.
Last week we notched up 2.5 million individual hits, and inside six months that is truly sensational. But one of the main features of Young Guns is not about the hits, amount of comments, or success, (although that is nice) but offering a fresh and interesting perspective on Arsenal.
Sure we have made the odd mistake along the way, but with your insightful and helpful comments we firmly believe we have established a winning formula. The comment sections are often a fantastic read on there own, with a whole bunch of different characters sharing their views. From first time commenter’s, or our resident joker “Clacko The Gooner“, and of course to “Me” who’s insights often provoke debate.
So today is all about saying a massive thank you to everybody so far, and we look forward to your continued support in the future. If you have any ideas, suggestions, concerns or anything else, you are more than welcome to leave a comment below, or e-mail us.

Excellent Blog
First message from me, too, this from a Finnish 43-year old Arsenal supporter since 1979. A great site with REAL views and information. Good to hear about the many visitors – hopefully you can even make a bit of money for your efforts.
I rarely read these comments, though. I don’t see sense in people asking about who we should buy etc. The articles are news enough for me.
hey mate , i have to take my daily dos of young guns without it u knw it would be difficult to leave . its testamount to the importance of Young guns in my life . congratulations and keep up the good work
without doubt my favourite website.great work!!!!
You are up there with the best of the football blogs. Great work and to lots more months.
Absolutely one of my favourite blogs. Can’t say fairer than that.
** I would say though that the Black background should be changed. It’s a bit tricky to read the text on the site.
Oh do shut up The Oracle you silly tart. no one asked you to poke that nose in of yours. sssssssshhh.
J doesnt need snobs like you on the site. i talk about the gunners and not other members.
A hearty congratulations J. This is the only Arsenal site that I trust. As we all know, the summer is fertile ground for tabloid bullsh*ters, yet this site has made Arsenal’s summer plans completely transparent and therefore stress-free. Due to your knowledge of Arsenal’s young guns I have never before looked forward to a forthcoming season quite like I have for this one. It is a godsend to me when I have a spare minute at work. Thanks for all the incredible hard work.
Well done for a great first 6 months J. All the best.
Keep up the good work

Have you guys though about possibly adding an RSS feature to the site? that would be fantastic.
