Two frames from Dwight Hart-Lane in the new issue

SUBSCRIBE TO THE GOONER

Apologies in advance, as I am a little bit against the clock this morning, but a few things to relay…

First up, the new issue of The Gooner goes on sale this evening outside the Manchester City game. It includes a free 2016 pullout calendar. The theme, with next year marking the 10th anniversary of the stadium move, is “10 Years at the Grove” and features a notable match from the last decade for every month. Full details of the issue can be found here (although I will just mention that Dwight Hart-Lane returns in an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol) and for those that cannot make it to the game (or the ones v Bournemouth, Newcastle or Sunderland) it can be bought online here. (Details of the e-edition for those of you that prefer your mags in tablet form at the bottom of this page).

Secondly…
Due to Christmas scheduling, the issue is being mailed out to subscribers today. UK subscribers should receive their copies before Christmas Day.

And finally, we mentioned this on Saturday’s exclusive, but it bears repetition…

We have received the following information from the club and have been asked to publicise it to make it a success…

There will be a special fan display ahead of Arsenal v Manchester City on Monday. To make this as successful as possible please get to your seats as early as you can and together we can welcome the teams onto the pitch in the true Arsenal way.

No idea what the display will be, but apparently it will be more detailed than the one v Bayern, so please aim to be in your seat at 7.55 so when the teams come out you can help to make it look really special. Additionally, in Greece recently, after their fans had done a pre-match display, the bags they had been handed were all waved around in the air before the match kicked off, and this looked very effective, so hopefully Gooners can imitate that after whatever the message/theme is has been displayed. Of course, this is all dependent on more people getting in a bit earlier than for a typical evening game. The 8pm start will hopefully make this easier.

Normal service will be resumed tomorrow with a piece on this evening’s game.

Over and out!

Paul Adams;puerile stuff. No one hates Wenger.Try and elevate the debate rather than posting playground taunts. Good win not as conclusive as some think. We were very efficient

G'day fellow Gooners! The game came through from 7-9 am here down under - so good to watch a game refreshed by sleep instead of shaking the head at 3am with a couple of grogs. Top result, especially with the players out injured - shows it can be done. Get over Saints at the weekend and there's a clear run ahead. I wonder what all the Ozil bashers are thinking right now? COYG! Over to all the experts............Re

@paul Adams- I am one of those who question the ability of the management to achieve to our expectations. And you must remember the bar is high. [well it is for me, as i is short]. Sorry, bad joke about buying beer, but it is Crimbo and I have my Crimbo jumper on. That said, you are correct, it was a complete performance. VERY GOOD. I am as fickle as they come, COYG. Happy Christmas MR Wenger and all the Arsenal world.

Ya gunners ya. Arseknowsbest, why should Paul Adams give it a rest? Entitled to his opinion and state his opinion about the anti Arsenal posters on this site. Enjoy the win, it puts down a marker against the so called big boys. Should have scored more but created great chances and to a man played really well.

Paul Adams - Give it a rest. It's just as plausible to call you an Arsenal hater because you've evidently put up with AW and our decline for so long. If you like mediocrity, why don't you go and watch it at the Lane? That sh*te has been done to death on here. Otherwise a pleasing day. Those two schlags at FIFA and UEFA finally have their collars felt and we beat the Manchester Oilers.

@Westlower, Give those Arsenal haters on this site, JJ, MBG , JW some stick in the match report tomorrow, this was the most complete performance I've seen for years, especially the defence. Merry Christmas. I await the cynicism? PS This was not a poor City side

Get in there!! Well deserved on sheer guts and effort alone. Lots of great performances, Canpbell quickly changing my opinion of him.

Hard work brings it rewards, lovely to see. Best game yet for Monreal. We deserved a third goal but it didn't happen. Ramsey & Campbell had good chances. Wally looks so much stronger this time around after his previous injury spells out. Good for team confidence to win without Alexis, Cazorla, JW, Rosicky, Welbeck & Coq. Arsenal are now favourites to win PL at Evens, Citeh 2/1, Leicester 12/1. And now you're gonna believe us.......

I must admit that I love Christmas at the Arsenal, especially when a "fans display" is in the offing. Let's hope that it involves big A3 sized cards so that we can make and throw paper aeroplanes from on high. I did this at the old ground and was distressed when it collided with a Policeman's helmet. No one else shared my distress. Everybody was very amused. Work is the curse of the drinking classes I suppose. Re Dwight Hart Laine, surely a Christmas Carol is about redemption of the soul and the healing power of the Christmas Season. Can Dwight Hart Lane be redeemed? I suppose upon reflection that not even Spurs fans are beyond the contrafibularities of the season, and so we must wish them well. May father Christmas bring them all that they desire. Not a decent kit or a decent club obviously. I mean nice after shave, and a box of cigars from their Nan. Perhaps the hope of indoor sanitary fittings that they don't feel compelled to destroy. A signed picture of Arthur Webster and his miniature whippet "Ivan". That sort of thing.

I wonder has TOF come up with this himself, or his spin doctors, maybe his ego needs a boost as no matter what happens Leicester are Claudio still going to be top at Christmas.

Let's hope we can get a win tonight to give confidence when the games come thick and fast over Christmas. With a couple of signings in January there's no reason why we can't win the league!
