    I was wondering how this site was made, and if there is a script out there for it or weather it has to be custom built?

    http://www.goonernews.com/

    Basically it pulls news stories... from somewhere all about Arsenal FC

    They may be pulling their news storys from an "RSS" feed. If you have a site you would like to pull news storys from, normally it is a little orange button with white letters reading RSS. You can also do some research on google about how it works and what you can do with it.

    RSS feeds use XML technology and almost every programming language both client side and server side will allow you to read and sift through these feeds.

    I understand the RSS stuff, what i mean is how do they bring the feeds into one place with all the auto updates and auto refresh? And how they make sure it is only news about Arsenal

    It could be an RSS feed already just about arsenal. Also, they could have it so that every time a user loads a page, it will check the rss feed for updates, and if there are items in the feed that are not on the site, it will update its cache.

    serverside coding im guessing (PHP)

    Its an RSS Aggregator that outputs to HTML on their page. You get the RSS feeds from multiple sites and put them all into one and it is displayed on your site.

    There are a bunch of ways to do this, but some free premade options are

    For Wordpress you can use the QuickRSS plugin

    If you want more search around for "RSS to HTML"

    You can do this with Yahoo Pipes, it takes some time to learn, but it allows you to filter and combine multiple RSS feeds

    I had that script and I remember it well because it was able to pull up either the flag or the site's logotyp.

    I lost that script during a massive data loss (my system crashed) but it is more likely a news script I got from www.sourceforge.net

    It has to be that way because it was installed on a news-related website I have actually abandoned.
