LOS ANGELES and DUBLIN, Ireland, May 19 /PRNewswire/ --

- The popular football blog and forum is extending its reach on OleOle's
ground-breaking, global football platform

OleOle, the provider of the world's largest social media platform for
football, today announced that it has acquired and integrated Arseblog
(http://www.arseblog.com), the award-winning website focused on Arsenal FC.
Readers can now find Arseblog's daily posts, breaking news, exclusive
features, interviews and podcasts (known as Arsecasts) on OleOle.com.

Founded over 6 years ago
(http://arseblog.com/WP/2008/02/27/arseblog-is-6-today/), Arseblog has
become famous for it's unique brand of football blogging and the hundreds and
hundreds of comments (arses) it receives every day from avid Arsenal fans and
loyal readers. By moving to OleOle, the Arseblogger is expanding
opportunities for his readers to participate even more in the discussions
around Arsenal - through forums and comments and also by submitting their own
Arsenal news, rumours, photos and videos.

OleOle is a global social media site dedicated to football and football
only, and now Arseblog readers, along with fans of any other professional
football team, can create conversations without geographic or language
barriers -- unlike on any other place on the internet today.

"We are delighted that Arseblog has decided to move to the OleOle
blogging platform, and we offer even more options for its dedicated readers
and Arsenal supporters," said Doug Knittle, OleOle's founder and CEO. "This
is the first of what we know will be many passionate football bloggers moving
their blogs to OleOle. This acquisition confirms that OleOle is really the
premier place for anyone writing about football -- regardless of their team,
player or league affiliation."

"What this merger does is allow Arseblog to become part of something I
think will be really huge," said the Arseblogger. "It allows Arsenal fans to
get in on the ground floor on a site which promises to be a fantastic
resource and lots of fun. It will also allow Arseblog to develop and provide
even more Arsey goodness to Arsenal fans from all over the world."
