Ed002,
Could you please tell us what Arsene Wenger will be having for Christmas dinner?
Also, will Sanchez have his in-law's round?
Also, Will Ozil be going round to all his team mates houses and passing them the salt?

I jest of course.
Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and thanks for all your hard work.

{Ed002's Note - Appreciate it. Enjoy your holidays and keep it greasy.}

24 Dec 2015 00:17:58
Cheers Ed.

{Ed001's Note - Merry Xmas Dagala.}

24 Dec 2015 09:00:02
Merry Christmas 001.

{Ed001's Note - I hope you and all yours enjoy the holidays.}

24 Dec 2015 09:32:23
Thank you Ed, and to you and yours and thanks again for all the work you guys put into this site.

{Ed001's Note - despite the bad jokes, it is always good to have your input on here mate.}

24 Dec 2015 10:03:47
Thank you Ed,
Speaking of jokes, Mrs Dag's asked "What you getting me for Christmas? "
"Same as last year" I said.
"We didn't know each other last Christmas", she said.
"Exactly", I replied.

Ed025 at last! Someone looking to buy Everton, why it's not happened before now remains a mastery to me but its potentially very good news mate.

{Ed025's Note - im not counting my chickens G62, i have heard it all before mate and been let down, but to be honest i like the fact we are a david amongst the goliaths of this world as well, do i want us to become a chelsea or city?..not in a million..

23 Dec 2015 20:16:19
Of course not mate no fan of a club worth supporting really wants their club to buy the league 100%, but be able to bid for the Vardy and Kane's of this world (just examples) when they come available is no bad thing mate.

{Ed025's Note - to be fair G62 we have spent money, not mega but a fair ammount, i love the signings like john stones, picked up for buttons and developed into a class performer, i think thats why i get arsene in a way mate..

23 Dec 2015 20:30:42
Ed the football world is changing and teams have to change with it, or you are in danger of becoming a dinosaur. Not what we all want but that's life. Hope you get a good owner, one who puts the club and fans first, that's all you can ask and not some asian or south american gangster who milks you dry.

{Ed025's Note - thats the worry steve, we know where we are with bill mate, not the richest or most glamorous but a damn good club, sometimes as people have found to their cost...the grass is not always greener mate..

I think BK has done terrific at Everton. He has always put Everton first.

23 Dec 2015 22:36:35
So do I Dags he's put his money and time where his heart is no question.
I'd like to see a premier league where Everton spurs Arsenal and Liverpool are all challenging with Chelsea utd and city for the title each and every season.
When English teams dominated the European cup Villa and Forest were obviously also English champions before becoming European champions.
A strength in depth premier league produced much more success in Europe than city utd and Chelsea interchanging for 10 years has.

23 Dec 2015 22:38:11
Depends what owner u get. A Lerner maybe an old pompy owner Or a PSG or man city type.

These guys are not that rich and I believe you could end up a cash cow for more yanks.

24 Dec 2015 07:54:14
Not being that rich isn't necessarily a bad thing Derby and I'm sure Bill will make sure of their intentions before letting them anywhere near Everton.

23 Dec 2015 16:58:56
United fan in peace.

I know that Arsenal fans are split on Wenger sometimes but nobody can deny that he is a gentleman and has true class.

Hope you guys win the league this season, just do us a favour and smash all of our top 4 rivals please?!

23 Dec 2015 20:24:32
Thanks tot us and Leicester probably look more settled at this moment of all the teams but big festive period and a massive six weeks from the middle of jan for us, then we will know more. Still six teams could have a say yet. Anyone who has a good run of ten or twelve unbeaten will have a chance. Very topsy turvy league but it usually rights itself by april.

23 Dec 2015 21:02:35
Thank you Tot.

23 Dec 2015 14:28:25
Whats peoples thoughts on sonogo. Not playing at Ajax.

23 Dec 2015 15:50:26
He's rubbish, crap you could see that in clips before he even joined Arsenal, don't know what wenger was thinking.

24 Dec 2015 00:19:57
He has the makings of a good player.
If he wasn't so crap.

23 Dec 2015 01:08:10
Who is this one player arsenal need to complete our team to go all the way to win the title this season?
Ed's? Dags? Anyone? Your thoughts.

{Ed001's Note - has to be a midfielder with pace and energy to break up opposition play, such as Kante at Leicester type.}

23 Dec 2015 07:34:31
MF like Ed says and a strier, statistics show its unlikely Theo will not complete the rest of the season uninjured so why gamble on Olly staying 100% fit and inform from now till May.
Be wise before the event this time.

{Ed002's Note - Try Brozovic as an example.}

23 Dec 2015 07:55:21
Yep, either of the above or William Carvalho.

23 Dec 2015 10:12:34
Kante is the find of the season no doubt about it. He's impressing me big time. 310.

23 Dec 2015 10:29:06
Agree with the midfield piece - break up play and turn into attack quickly. That's why I wanted Vidal

Think we need a young centre back to blood into the team

Would like a goal scorer as bench was weak against City

Would like a defensive minded midfielder who can turn to attack quick

That's what I want for Christmas as well as a strong 12 match run in league

23 Dec 2015 12:28:32
So SY4 who was the one player you wanted? Lol. :-)

For me Carvalho, we know we can score and we're now not to bad at defending either but if there's anyone we need better cover for its Coquelin because him returning in February, we know from experience can soon become March.

Equally if we buy Kante, Mahrez and Vardy that's them out of the title race! ;-)

23 Dec 2015 08:52:23
Paul pogba lol.

23 Dec 2015 20:56:33
You got me Red dog!

I would go for Mohamed Elneny.
