Be a gooner. Be a giver

Unlike football, fundraising is not a game of two halves. Similar to football, though, it's your supporters who really count. And one club and its supporters have been in the news a lot recently (for good reasons!).

Step forward and take a bow, Arsenal FC.

Yes, boring, boring Arsenal are working with Autism charity Treehouse to help raise £250,000 to build the sports facilities in their new National Centre for Autism Education in North London.

Arsenal's players and directors have already donated a day's wages to the cause (which must be A LOT!) and they've also created a "Be a gooner. Be a giver" fundraising page to collect donations online from gooners* all over the world:

Over £10,000 has been donated in just under two weeks, a result even better than yesterday's win over Chelski (boo, hiss).

So there you have it, not only are Wenger's men a class act on the field, they're classy off it too. Good on ya gooners!

*fyi a "gooner" is an Arsenal fan - from the Norf Lahndan way of pronouncing their nickname, the "Gunners" (and don't laugh, not everyone at JG Towers actually knew that)
