2008

Welcome, somewhat belatedly to 2008 at Owned by Hleb from Tom.

I have returned (rather sheepishly) to post a brief account of what is currently going on with our site, and what the future may hold.

Sadly, neither myself nor Martin has been able to put as much time as we would have liked into OBH, partially due to exams, or the setting up of Owned by Mariners, or just because we have too much going on.

However, we do hope to be able to start commiting more time in the future as Owned by Hleb enters its third year of existence.

As well as wanting to commit more time ourselves, we are looking to the readers to help keep the site up to date, and would welcome any blogs or accounts of Hleb you can offer us - even if it is just a short, weekly report on how he has performed that week. If you can afford an Arsenal season ticket, I’m sure you can afford to spend half an hour working for OBH.

Anyway, I’m afraid that for the time being, thats about it from me. Writing things does take such a long time you know, and I am currently between a ‘Where Are They Now?’ project on OSR, a soon to be announced blog for Soccerlens, and still trying to get Owned by Mariners up and running.

Tom, OwnedbyHleb Team.

New Year Pledge

Happy (belated) New Year, and welcome to the first post of 2008!

Granted, I’ll have to admit, updates have been relatively slow to date, given that the site hasn’t been updated since our legal dispute at the start of November. So, I pledge to you, our readers (?), it’s a new year, so it’s about time for some updates, and new content.

So here we are, in the middle of January, which any student will know is the heart of the exam ’season’. This is usually the time when I gloss over revision, and precide to code a new site, from scratch. However, now that we’ve got wordpress running smoothly, and even though I have a lot of spare time (thank you Microsoft), I can’t bring myself to ruin it, so you’ll have to settle for a slightly uninspired blog post from me instead.

As any Owned By Hleb veteran will know, an anniversary is quickly approaching. Yep, you guessed it, Owned By Hleb will reach the grand old age of 2! Thats right, 2. To celebrate this mammoth achievement, I have wrote a nice little post, summing up the highs and lows of the last 2 years.

Arsenal Legal Dispute…

In an ideal world, I’d be able to do what I want. On OwnedbyHleb for example, there would a month-by-month diary of Aliaksandr Hleb. However, as I am a full-time student with a (somewhat mildly) active social life, I simply don’t have the time or money to watch the performances of Hleb on a weekly basis, or then create a diary.

On the other hand, Arsenal FC are one of the largest, and probably richest clubs in the world. It wouldn’t surprise me if they employed someone for the sole purpose of writing these month-by-month blogs on their website. Now, here on Owned by Hleb, that diary feature would be a fantastic feature, but I doubt we’re allowed to use it.

In fact, I think we’d be in some serious trouble if we attempted to use it, despite the massive accreditations to Arsenal which we used to display.

Below I have details of the email contact with Arsenal regarding our website.
