GALLERIES FREDDIE WHO? HOW TO... GUESTBOOK LINKS SHOP |
 News: 16 February...2003! Blimey - sorry for the absence of updates folks - lately I've my attention has been focused on my fantastic design company. Of course I've been surrounded by the glow surrounding most Arsenal fans at the moment. It's not ReadyBrek (or FreddieBrek as we call it in our house) - it's the sheer joy and pleasure it is to watch our team at the moment. I write this still ecstatic at spanking the Mancs in the FA Cup yesterday. Great performance, great result. Well done lads. It's been a chequered period for the Fredster though, hampered by injury for most of it, with nought but a couple of cameos in the reserves to appease his appetite for the beautiful game. First there was the hip, then the migraines, now the achilles, but reports say it's healing well and he could be back in the first team in a couple of weeks. Hopefully he will come good in time for the last games of the season, when we may need his talismanic goal-scoring to seal our dominance in all our competitions. And more exciting news for Freddie fans - British digital TV channel Sky One is currently promoting a forthcoming series of "Up Close" interviews following three famous footballers. And who is going to be the star of one of these programs? None other than our dapper Scandinavian midfield terrier. Check your schedules - it will be on in the next few weeks. As for the site, check out
28 October Well, it looks like November has come early to the mighty Gunners. Hopefully our traditional early-winter dip is over and we can get on with being the daddy again. I wouldn't be surprised if we came back even stronger than before, especially with Super Bob back, slipping the ball through to our twinkle-toed diagonal-dazzler. And what about the hair? Blimey. I can't see many fans, stockbrockers or builders, on the terraces copying this one. Sort of an asymmetrical left-side-shaved mullet, tastefully henna'd. Here is our artist's opinion:  Frankly we're frightened. He looks like he should be shouting "The louder you scream the faster we go!" on the Waltzers. However, if you've got the bottle to do it, SEND ME A PIC, and I will show the world how brave/stupid/desperate for attention you truly are! Not many major updates on the site this month: three luvverly new pics from Catherine here (bottom of the page) and a brand new Freddie site, accurately titled "Karl Fredrik Ljungberg", from love-struck Lisa on the links page! 26 September That's it. We're out of adjectives. ...but at the risk of becoming terminally boring...the boy done it again! Arsenal started against PSV with Gilberto's record breaking goal on 20.07 seconds. But rewind the action to about the 14th second, and who's in the centre circle, nicking the ball to slip to Henry, who in turn sets up Silva? Who? It's our lad Freddie, natch. The remainder of the first half consisted of PSV getting their own back by booting big hairy lumps out of our team, while consistently failing to get the ball past Spunky. And in the second half, a fantastical run by Freddie enabled him to latch on to a through ball and drill it past the PSV keeper and almost burst open the far side of the net. Henry bagged a couple for himself at the end, and all in all, it was a ....... performance from Arsenal. Utterly ...... Like I said, we're out of adjectives. When the English language catches up and invents some more words, we'll use 'em. 24 September ...and Freddie does it again...instrumental in the win against Bolton at the weekend, he would have scored the first for sure had he not been pulled back inside the box - unfortunately Terry missed the resulting pen. But Freddie's delightfully Bergkamp-esque through-ball allowed Titi to make amends and slot home a beauty to give us the lead. The second half was a right old scrap that had us pounding our friends' shoulders with our fists...but we came through. Freddie will hopefully be playing against PSV; a win there would put us in a strong position in the group. Freddie's mate Dennis is taking the ferry over, which should spell danger for the cloggies. Although PSV are on fire at the moment... As for site news - be sure to check out the new Famous Freddies in the gallery section, a rocking new Real Freddie, and Crystal's marvelous tribute to the man in Readers' Freddies. 19 September Just a quick note to say....Freddie's back! Great result against Dortmund with the Super-Duper Swede scoring a typically two-touch belter. And with his mate Bob Pires due back any time, we could see an Arsenal of such awesome scoring power us mere mortals will be quaking in our trainers with a heady combination of fear and joy. However, knowing my luck, well probably get hammered by Bolton at the weekend...
Some groovy site updates this month - a great Homer Ljungberg (Stuart Branagan wins the T-shirt for that beauty), thanks also to Raffi, Paul and Chris for their pictorial contributions, and mugs are now available in the shop.
Hey, and guess what? WeLoveYouFreddie.com was featured in the Observer Sport Monthly's Site Unseen as a sporting website worth a vist. Yay!
One lucky Gooner will be picked out of a large red-and-white jester's hat, to receive the FIRST shirt off the press, and a certificate stating such. Also, we will be giving them as prizes for the best photo or other contribution submitted each month. 12th May 2002 The site is launched today, after some epic, beer-soaked celebrations on Upper Street. Arsenal have done the Double again, thanks in no small part to our nimble-footed, stripey-headed, diagonal-running hero. I was out on the streets for a while, photographing those sporting the distinctive Ljungberg head-markings, some suspecting, some not so suspecting, and thought they deserved to be honoured in some small way. So here they are. I'll continue to photograph any that I come across, but if you have a Freddie-style barnet that you'd like to share, do email me a photo here: karl@sinfield.org and I'll put it on the site. If you'd like to add your name & any other details, please do. Also, those that I captured today are welcome to send in their info, and I'll annotate your picture accordingly. |

Check out Time Out this week. Superstar status beckons for the F-man, as he features on the front of this week's Time Out. Apparently he's the new Beckham. Actually, the truth is that he's teamed up with Beckham's agent, so expect to see a lot more blurry photos of him doing his shopping in the coming season. Hurrah! Hopefully becoming a media darling won't affect his potency on the pitch...
