Poster of the Year: |Sims and Cripps. 2 consistent posters of high quality

Funniest Poster: Cripps landslide.

Best Avatar/Signature: Never take note tbh

Worst Avatar/Signature:^^

Best Thread: 'Some Quality post you don't want to miss' was a great addition this year, but since it doesn't really count I'll say David Bowie

Funniest Thread: I can never think of these off the top of my head. Maybe I'll keep track this year

Worst thread: This is easy... Every Politics thread/debate thread. Honourable mentions to #MadnessIncoming, Ozil thread and Aguero thread.

Best post:

UFGN wrote:My passion for it all is draining away. For looking forward to the future, for wanting better people to run the club, even for the club itself.

30 years a fan, but it's not the club I grew up supporting. Everyone at that club didn't need to be told that it was bigger than any man, any particular group of players, any era even.

The club's identity has been shape-shifted so that it now appears to many to be a cult of one manager, but It is so much more than that. Its a club which rose from its humble amateur roots to become an icon. A club which dominates the community it stands in.

When I was a kid we were very poor. No violins and sad stories, its just a matter of fact. In fact at one point we were homeless and lived in a cheap hotel near Highbury.

We had hardly any material possessions at all and pocket money was rare. There was another lad about my age who was in the same hotel, and we used to go together to the stadium on matchdays.

Not to go in and watch the match of cause, that would have been absurd. Even though it was cheaper back then it certainly wasn't free. We used to go just to be near it. To watch the crowd, the horses, the noise. And afterwards to find a ticket stub, or very occasionally a discarded programme.

To live near the great Arsenal Football Club was something to cling to, and something to be proud of.

That's the power that this club has.....that a kid would scrabble round on the floor to find a ticket stub just to feel like they're part of it. And where did that power come from? From it's history, its longevity, its wonderful successes.

How can anyone value one man above all that?

This is a British court ruling on British law. Exactly what they wanted.

And now we're hearing from Ukip that the judges should be sacked!

If they don't like it they should appeal to the European Courts!


Since the ruling this has actually been killing me with laughter.

Tbf, I'm really happy to see the country using its own laws to take back it's sovereignty and give a say to the MPs that were actually elected by the people.


The only thing this shows is why we need to be out of Europe asap.

To think we can't even have the final say in our own country is abysmal and will only make the Brexit vote stronger.

The Remainers sabotage attempts will not last long I think, next move is ours.

The "funny" thing is Zedie is that this may mean we get a Hard Brexit after all because the Prime Minister is going to be left with two choices, either allow a soft brexit where she lets Parliament pick at her plans for years to come or (as she know's she can't allow that) find a way to by pass them altogether and not be accountable to them at all via the Supreme Court or a re-election.

We'll see who's laughing then shall we.

I was actually up for a form of soft Brexit because I thought we'd get the best of both worlds but now I'm leaning toward a Hard Brexit just to shut the Remainers up for good, they're obviously not getting the message.


More epic bullshit from you

1: How does a British court passing a ruling on British law show we need to be out of Europe?

2: How exactly is this a sabotage attempt, considering the ruling went in favour of the petitioner? All it does is show that they were correct under British law

3: You seem to be more worried about getting everything done fast than getting everything done right

4: 52% is what you got. You don't get to have every bit of the process your own way, so sorry. Stop peddling the "we voted to leave" bollocks. Half of us voted to stay.

We have conceded a horrible amount of goals from wide positions in the big games this calendar year.


ALEXIS SANCHEZ offers no protection nor does THEO WALCOTT only AARON RAMSEY and JOEL CAMPBELL.

Funniest Thread: Not sure.

Worst thread: Mesut Ozil thread. Continuous mares in it.

Best post: Unsure, would have to revisit.

Best Newbie (i.e. new poster in the last 12 months): No clue, gimme a list I'm lazy.

Best Laugh of the Year (could be a post or thread): KG3

Poster of the Year: Zenith. Easily the best member here, would vote for him for POTY if I could.

Funniest Poster: Billo makes me laugh the most but Sims is more consistent.

Best Avatar/Signature: Mine at any given moment.

Worst Avatar/Signature: UFGN. Needs to mix it up.

Best Thread: Madness Incoming was good fun over the summer. Starman's dedication to the Bowie thread has been admirable too.

Funniest Thread
: Chris being locked out of his house by his step-dad.

Worst thread: American Politics/ UK referendum thread. So much nonsense in both.

Best post: gooney slagging off dinosaurs.

Best Newbie (i.e. new poster in the last 12 months): Dunno.

Best Laugh of the Year: Billo's gambling/ women stories. Always get me.

Poster I Agree With Most Often: Sims, Massa, Fenice. Honourable shout to VaVa as he makes his arguments clearer than most even when I disagree.

Poster I Disagree With Most Often: DG/ RRP/ Cripps. Honourable shot to Big17.

The most 'I won’t hear a bad thing about this player' member: Cripps with Walcott, Schland with Ramsey.

The most 'I won’t hear a good thing about this player' member: DG with Giroud, easily. Can't score a goal without justifying why it's not that good, can't go a game without scoring without hearing about "Project Giroud". Also GA with Koscielny because it's ridiculous.

The member you'd most like to throttle: DG.

Troll of the year: Cripps, as he's actively trying (but doing a better job at it than GA).

The most underrated poster: Fenice/ Dubs4Sam. Two of the most solid and reasoned posters on here.

The Emiliano Viviano award
: Massa.

Best Laugh of the Year (could be a post or thread): Been a fair few from Billo as per. Arsene Nose as GA have also had a couple of blinders but...

Never heard of Spotlight so no chance. Big Short has a quality cast and was tempted especially as Steve Carrell is in it so bound to be hilarious. Ultimately went for Dirty Grandpa. De Niro and Efron 2 of the best. Some might say it's the passing of the torch
