As we eagerly await Monday’s big game against Chelsea, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

2010 was a big year for us at The Gunning Hawk with the launch of Arsenal Interactive and I am delighted to say that more and more Gooners are joining us in the chat room when our beloved team is in action. So a big thank you to all those who keep on supporting us and of course I would also like to show my gratitude to the rest of the team for working so hard to deliver news and original content to all our readers.

To conclude, let’s not forget those who may not be celebrating Christmas day in the same fashion as we are because unfortunately, even if 2011 is upon us, there are still people who live in poverty and of course found no big flashy gifts under their tree.

Take care everyone, I’ll be back with the Chelsea preview, a must-win game of course.
