Morning all…
So the big day is finally here and Father Christmas has been and gone for another year…..
Sadly, so has our challenge for the Premier League title….
But for me, today isn’t about football or ranting about the disarray Arsenal FC are in, it’s about the celebration of the birth of Jesus and being with friends, family and loved ones who together celebrate this wonderful occasion….
But as we sit, laugh, open our presents and enjoy the occasion, let’s just spare a thought for those who are not feeling as joyous as us. The families of the children killed in Pakistan and the men who were brutally murdered by the Isis terrorists. Those who lost loved ones in that horrific and freak accident in Scotland and in Australia, many people have been left heartbroken after some nutter was allowed to roam free….
Then of course, there are people closer to us who have suffered loss at this time of year through illness and evil diseases and for them it can be a hard and sad time…….
As for Arsenal, perhaps Stan Kroenke will soon sell his shares and we’ll have an owner who truly cares about the club we all love, the way we play, the results and of course, us fans.
Perhaps only then, we’ll have a manager who feels the same….
Happy Christmas to you all, have a lovely day………
A sobering post Rico. But well said.
Yes, Adam is right…..this post puts everything into perception, i mean perspective 🙂
Well said Rico, and a very merry Xmas to all.
Happy Christmas to you and the family Scott.
Happy Christmas to all at the House. Nice post rico, very appropriate.

I’m off to peel my brussels…..

Merry Christmas Adam, and to Mrs Adam, and all the little Adams…..it’s been another fantastic year of verbal jousting, but mainly, sitting here suitably Impressed at the masterful way with words you allow us to all enjoy.
Merry Xmas to you Andrew, as well as your family and to Rico, well, I’ve survived another year and I thank you wholeheartedly as you make the House tick.
So to you, your special one and the entire zoo you tend to, I hope you have the most wonderful of Xmas’.
Long life the House, and long life the Arsenal.
Shame you spoilt your kind thoughts even on xmas day you have dig at Arsene. Say what you like regarding tactics and ability but to assume he doesn’t careful the clubafter 18 years. Merry xmas to you too

Den – don’t be a tit, after all it’s Christmas. If you read my words again, you’ll see my issue is with Stan Kroenke, perhaps you’d know that if you read my comments each day…
Thanks Mog and the same to you, Happy Christmas….
A very sobering and thoughtful post Rico.
Merry christmas to the House…
One from my heart Ts……
Happy Christmas to you too…..
A very blessed Christmas to you all my friends.
I dont have much time today. But I could not resist not popping in.
Evening Guys, hope your all having a rocking good Christmas !!!
There will always be less fortunate than us, would like to think most of us on here would throw a yiddo a sprout if he was looking in the window while we were tucking into our Christmas dinner.
Keep up the good work rico, remember there’s always room for improvement, where’s wath btw, has he gone underground ?
Have a great evening folks.
3-1 tomorrow, another classic at the Emirates.
Hi Micko, hope you are enjoying your Christmas..
I promise I’ll do all I can to improve, just like Arsene…..
Wath has no internet and it’ll be a while before its sorted out…. but he wishes everyone a fab Christmas.
Night all, hope you’ve all had a wonderful day….
Night Rico, hope you had a great day?
Thanks Rico, even on Christmas Day you’ve given us another good post…
Still working Kev????
No Scott, had a lovely day, bed now.
Night All
I see wenger spouting off about it not being a two horse race for the PL and he’s backing mertsacker, well he hasn’t got any other option has he? Deluded twat sometimes!
Perhaps he thinks it’s only a one horse race Lee… 😉
Morning to you, Kev, Scott and all…
Morning guys.
Citeh is still my tip.
We will scrape 3rd or 4th.
Not much changes 🙂
5th or 6th at best imo Scott, unless AW signs a couple of good players next month….
3rd if we sign some, 4th of we don’t I reckon.
Maybe that’s what I hope lol
If we can’t stop the silly errors at the back, I honestly can’t see us getting CL football. Also, we’d need Southampton, Utd and West Ham to go on a dreadful run… 🙁
Morning Rico and all. Very nippy here this morning.
Morning Adam.
Rico, we do say this every season and yet we always manage it….probably because those above us go on horror runs lol
Whoever finishes above the chavs will win the league…
Morning Adam, ’tis here too and now foggy…
One season it’s not going to happen Scott … 😉
New post up now…
