Well goodbye to another year and hello to another one good luck to everyone and the eds. Let the fun of the widow begin.
Loads of crazy rumours ups and downs in emotions. A bit of pleading praying and desperation with a large helping of joy as the signings flow, well I can dream. Just wish I could pronounce the names of half the names posted on here, I make Merson seem multi lingual 😂
Have a good un guys🍺🍺🍺🍺.
31 Dec 2015 19:58:59

Have a good night enjoyed the year on here
And dags your reply below about the titanic. Brillaint.
Red dog don't get too drunk I'd hate to See your Arsenal bed spread wrecked with sick and it could spil onto your Wenger pillow.
31 Dec 2015 21:37:45
I won't mate, that would be a disaster. Have a fantastic night and all the best to you for next year. :-)
01 Jan 2016 00:15:32
Lol, my pleasure Derby.
31 Dec 2015 18:37:15
Hey guys new poster. Long time reader (maybe 5yrs) . I'm an Englishman living in Canada for the last 2 yrs. I have 3 kids who have yet to be goonered (sorry I'm on it) I have been a gooner since I liked football. My opening two pennies worth is about the standard of the league. Most pundits and ex pro's are on the "top four are weaker" side of the fence. Where as I am on the "rest of the league got better" and also I think this elneny is a good signing if we do get him. Think it's a signing to make sure le Coq is first choice. I just want a forward player now really. An out and out winger. Anyways hope you all had a good crimbo. And enjoy the new year because london will be red boys!
Daz out!
31 Dec 2015 19:22:55
Hi Daz,
I don't agree with this not being an exciting or it being weak league, mostly perpetuated by Chelsea and United fans because their teams have been so woeful.
For me you'll struggle to find a more exciting one, La Liga is between 3 teams and the Bundesliga, well that's a walkover.
This league is exciting for way more than those, way more sets of fans are having things to shout about, winning matches they wouldn't expect to win, seeing their teams playing a great style of football to do it, not as in previous seasons when Stoke City could pull off an unexpected win with their anti football, now they have Krkic, Shaqiri and Affelay, 3 players you'd never imagine you'd see there.
You have Leicester defying all odds playing great football along with Watford and Palace, almost filling the void left by Ushited and Chelsea in respect of taking points from the so called big teams.
Easy games, if there are any only come at Sunderland and Villa, anyone above that capable of causing a shock.
Yes Spain has the top top players in Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Neymar and Saurez which is a step up to all other leagues but this is where the real excitement is.
Here no one can say who is going to win and the bookies will tell us it will be Arsenal or City but there is no guarantee the two clubs will even finish 1st and 2nd.
Have a great one mate and got everything crossed for May. :-)
31 Dec 2015 19:44:09
Thanks for the reply Red. Yeah I agree with all of that mate. I get a bit nervous before every game this season, and to my knowledge that's a first. But I enjoy the fact that you have to work for your win. Palace, stoke, Watford, Leicester a lot of candidates for team of the year, and respectfully managers of the year too.
31 Dec 2015 21:36:19
There is no real way to quantify the quality of the league but as a lover of the beautiful game I will go with the rest of the league got better theory. I think as honest fans of football we all have to whole heartedly embrace what Leicester have done also appreciate how strong Spurs are and how unpredictable man city are! Plus throw in the mix of saints, toffees, Liverpool and United!
When are Chelsea going to sort it out, you could argue our league is so strong that champions league winners Chelsea are in a relegation dog fight! It's not the usual suspects but teams have to be good to be at the top that's how a league works that's the magic so my personal feeling is that this year is the year that English style football takes off!
31 Dec 2015 18:23:49
Happy new year Eds and posters all, may the laughter be heavy and Dags Jokes light.
31 Dec 2015 18:55:47
Lol, Happy New Year John.
Blessings to you and your family.
31 Dec 2015 19:20:34
You too Charles mate, hope the new year is as positive for everyone as you are for our chances of being champions.
31 Dec 2015 19:59:25

Happy new year 62, have a great one. ;-)
31 Dec 2015 22:42:33
Happy new year Red mate, let's hope it kicks off with a January that gets us all buzzing and we can all meet up in Islington on May 22nd :-) which just so happens to be my birthday :-) what a part that might be!
31 Dec 2015 18:10:49
Liverpool supporter here to say hello
We got a bit of stick when Jurgen led the team out to thank the Kop after the WBA draw. You seem to have trumped that by Islington Borough Council confirming the arrangements for your EPL victory parade. Nothing like being prepared!
Anyway looking forward to the New Year and really hope we can make the top four and win some silverware this season . Then we can get some players in the summer and see what Jurgen can do.
It will b great if both our clubs can be genuine challengers for the league over the next few seasons.
Top four this year; Arsenal Spurs Citeh and Liverpool. Pretty radical!
My genuine best wishes to you all for a peaceful and healthy New Year and a great 2016 (but not when you visit Anfield! )
31 Dec 2015 18:56:55
Lol Tommy,
Wishing you and your family all the best for the new year mate.
Remember, look after Klipperty for us.
31 Dec 2015 19:44:48
Enjoy your evening Dags.
Jurgen has now had the pleasure of meeting Tony anti football Pulis and Big Sam so he his getting a true taste of what the EPL is all about. Bet it's a bit of a culture shock for him after rubbing shoulders with Jose and Pellegrini!
Ed001 have seen the pictures of the fire at the hotel in Dubai. Hope that you and all your family and friends are safe and sound.
{Ed001's Note - all good mate, thankfully it was too expensive for my parents to come over for NYE as they had planned or we would have all been there. As it is we are stuffing our face on a feast and not going up to the rooftop to watch the fireworks as they have been cancelled. I just hope everyone there is ok, though it did look a bad fire and it is where everyone gathers.}
31 Dec 2015 19:50:49
Reports here say 14 minor injuries. Hopefully that is the case as the pictures show that the fire is pretty fierce.
They are reporting that the fireworks are going ahead!
{Ed001's Note - I was told the fireworks were cancelled.}

Just seen a thread on Stephen el shaarawy and even though his stats are not the best and he had a bad injury a few years back I really rate him and think he has great potential and would do great at Arsenal! I like His style of play and with the likes of ozil behind him I think he would do well with us! And he could be an available player?!

Happy new year gunners and the eds, may this year be the year for us where we can enjoy the glory of winning the premier league.
My wife was complaining being too cold yesterday so I told her to stand in the corner its 90 degrees.
Yup I'm spending new years alone :) )
{Ed025's Note - good stuff moe..and happy new year to you mate..
31 Dec 2015 14:56:09
Thanks ed 025 hope this year come a lot sronger and be the top scouse team.
{Ed025's Note - me too moe, but we will have to defend better than we did against stoke mate..
31 Dec 2015 15:32:44
You certainly do, you've been able to score goals which is a good sign but you need to tied up your defence, hopefully you can keep hold of stones a lot longer.
{Ed025's Note - after last week we should get rid of him moe :) the bad news for us is that lukaku is on fire and the vultures are circling above goodison as we speak, i just hope we can hold on to him mate..
31 Dec 2015 15:44:32
Happy new year Moe.
31 Dec 2015 16:17:40
Happy new year dags
Ed to be honest I was wondering for how long can you keep hold of him even since you got him. Would love him at arsenal tho.
{Ed025's Note - imagine how many he would get with the service he would get from ozil, sanchez and co moe?....most teams would have to score 5 to get a draw..
31 Dec 2015 17:29:15
Letting him gonwas mouriho biggest mistake. We definately missing someone with his caliber. let's see who we will get, Personaly I don't look much at speculation. I ain't expecting big names in jan but hopefully someone can add some depth to the team.
31 Dec 2015 18:58:49
Is Moe talking about Me? lol.

31 Dec 2015 19:43:38
I agree eds he could clear up here but you never know if he likes being the star man? I'm not saying he does or wouldn't score but some players are like that.
Would I sign him? Yes all day long lol.
31 Dec 2015 12:47:45
Isaac Hayden is returning early from his loan at Hull. Will this have any impact on our signings? Perhaps preparing for Debuchy moving on?
{Ed002's Note - He plays a different position to Debuchy so it will be unrelated. I suspect it might be with him not getting enough starting opportunities in Hull - that is the normal reason.}
31 Dec 2015 13:26:38
Not upto it.
31 Dec 2015 17:12:05
Will gnabry return as well? He's not played either.
{Ed001's Note - that is very likely, I would put it at about 99% chance of happening, Arsenal want to get him back.}
31 Dec 2015 20:13:26
I hope so, I expect all he's learnt from pulis is how to kick people.
31 Dec 2015 12:44:39
We are Top of the League! Happy New Year to all Gooners.

Muchas gracias cañonero sesentaidos! . But in spanish there's a kind of embarrasing difference between "año" and "ano" :$.

Oops sorry Fidelio :- (
Hope I haven't put my size 12 in your ano, I haven't even had a drink yet giggle giggle :-)
31 Dec 2015 13:43:05
Not take it mate, i'm not so drunk yet to allow that. Happy new year g62 :)
31 Dec 2015 14:08:13
Happy new year mate :-) have a great one.
31 Dec 2015 15:39:30
One is masculine and one is feminine?
Happy new year Fidelio.
31 Dec 2015 15:49:07
How very dare you Dagala? :-)
31 Dec 2015 11:47:32
Early prediction.
Everybody is going to have a happy new year.
Happy New Year red's and eds.
{Ed001's Note - fingers crossed that you are right and everyone does. Is this where you do your Miss World bit and ask for world peace?}
31 Dec 2015 12:14:03
World peace, lower fuel prices, Wenger signs Mahrez and Arsenal win Prem.
That would be a happy 2016 Ed :-)
{Ed001's Note - aren't the fuel prices going down anyway? So maybe they are listening to you Dags....}
31 Dec 2015 15:40:19
Glad somebody does Ed 😊.
31 Dec 2015 12:30:45
I want the fuel prices to go up so I can get a job.
31 Dec 2015 11:06:36
The 2015 eye for a bargin award goes to!
Derby Gooner who correctly predicted that Kevin would be a big success at Man City, OK he also made 7000 other predictions that weren't exactly spot on but credit where its due on Kev mate :-)
31 Dec 2015 11:45:21
Love Derbygooner to bits, but you can't give credit to somebody who predicts a £55m player is going to be a good player.
Soz Derby :-)
31 Dec 2015 12:06:48
Totally agree, when you think about how much we got seen off when we bought Sanchez for £32 million, Cech for £10 or even Ozil for £42 million it's ridiculous. Wenger really is a clown. We were well and truly robbed. ;-)
But fair play to City, £130 million on De Bruyne, Sterling and Otamendi has seen them romp away with the league. :-)
31 Dec 2015 12:14:54
Lol Red :-)
31 Dec 2015 12:39:27
Your just jealous of Derby's success Dags, just because your man Remy looks like he's going to end up at Villa :-)
It may have took Dercity a few goes to get one right but atleast all his had a chance of working out, Remy I ask you :-)
31 Dec 2015 13:38:20
I did think city would be two wins clear by now at least. But if u told me no kompany all season then no.
There three signings will be fine long term. Ozil took two years. Sanchez though best buy out of the lot.
Don't forget to add alderweireld onto the list.
Cech for 10mill was immnese and we will never have an average keeper ever again. Sorry dags but u saying ospina is fine was my fav moment of 2015 :)
31 Dec 2015 14:11:47
Derby's done you a right one there Dags with the Ospina comment. I think that takes him straight to 15-30. ;-)
31 Dec 2015 14:13:36
Ospina was a BBC goalkeeper, almost all his saves lead to a repeat :-)
31 Dec 2015 14:44:30
62 has nailed it lol.
31 Dec 2015 15:42:39
To be fair, Ospina only made one mistake, but than again, so did the Captain of The Titanic, so fair point Gents, lol.

Arsenes right about the premier league being a lot more interesting than the Greek French and German leagues where a two horse race would be a novelty aposed to thier usual dressage.
But in terms of being the best and most exciting I think the la liga teams might argue that point right now, 3 very high quality teams separated by just 2 points and any of who might well go on to win the champions league too.
