    Here is something I thought we could do since there is only so much we can talk about transfers before even my transfer starved brain begins to warp. We have had some interesting moments over this season. I thought about posting this earlier, and I saw chelsea already got started on something similar. We spend so much time critiquing our players, it's time we started discussing each other!

    Nominate your favorites in the following categies:

    The Barack Obama award for most audaciously hopeful

    The Zoloft award for most suicide prone

    Village Idiot

    Village Unidiot

    Best new member of the season

    Best thread of the season

    Worst thread of the season

    Post of the year

    Attila the Hun's warmongerer of the season

    The Helen Keller award for pacifist of the season

    Giant-One-Eyed-Dwarf award for troll of the season

    The Barack Obama award for most audaciously hopeful

    God, not many to choose from here. I would give it to Lanesra who's always dropping old-skool knowledge on the people who get annoyed with the team for no reason, but it's gotta go to cashflowfor his unabating man love for Gilberto. His belief that we'd win the League if Bert started every game does it for me.

    The Zoloft award for most suicide prone

    gooner4eva I think...every time something bad happens there's a thread!!!!

    Village Idiot

    Ohhhh take your pick. I'll say cashflow again for his Gilberto man-love.

    Village Unidiot

    Well I think Rewinder rather than being someone who just argues his point constantly is always good to debate with along with iufan82 and a few others.

    Best new member of the season

    Quite easily bigINTERNETTOUGHGUY (see later)

    Best thread of the season

    goonermaui's "insult free for all" after the Liverpool matches. Wasn't used too much but was great nonetheless.

    Worst thread of the season

    The brilliant thread which started "argue who is the best Arsenal player" and then spawned the "are you a turd sandwich or giant douche" question.

    Post of the year

    There could only be one:



    Attila the Hun's warmongerer of the season

    Well, antifan's still going to war on trolls with aplomb...But I'm gonna give it to Travarelli. He don't do it so much anymore but when he first started posting it was all insults. Now it's just partially insults :p

    The Helen Keller award for pacifist of the season

    I don't think this applies to ANYONE!!

    Giant-One-Eyed-Dwarf award for troll of the season


    I would say ZANI but he doesn't enlighten our days so much anymore, so by default Zippy is the winner, closely followed by that yiddo sock.

    I love this thread, but we need to break it up and bring back the Arsie awards.

    They stopped pretty much when i found this board, but they were great. We need to bring that back. Does anyone remember all the categories? We should list them and start throwing out nominees.

    Whether it's Arsies or whatever, I nominate jinog for Village Idiot. I'm too lazy to find any specific post, but anyone who's been posting for at least the last few months should be aware of the litany of his/her/its fu¢kery on these boards. He/She/It could probably take the Giant One-Eyed Dwarf award as well.

    Worst Thread of the Season...what else?

    Boy, the first two posts in that thread picking Arsenal and DC as champions were the long, slow, wet French kisses of death to each team. :(

    the original Arsies had a thread for each award (using a quick search of the word Arsie brings up a few of those threads), I say we use this one for nominations only and then Rewinder (or someone else) can start the voting thread as a poll for each award

    should mention that to avoid cluttering the forum with 8 threads for Arsies we could do two a week and have each poll open for a week to vote for the winner.

    also, i like the "Best non-Arsenal poster" award, so we should add that!

    The Helen Keller award for pacifist of the season Yossarian by default. I mean, it's his job! Is that really fair?

    Giant-One-Eyed-Dwarf award for troll of the season - Can anyone argue with Teso on pure consistency? He has made an art form out of trolling masquerading as education for us poor, ill-informed Arsenal posters, all wrapped up with a bow of condescension and smugness.

    I'll get started on creating the Arsies threads later today - was a little busy with graduation etc. recently.

    Use this thread to post nominations for each award.

    First two to be done are:
    The Barack Obama award for most audaciously hopeful

    The Zoloft award for most suicide prone

    Great thread. Clearly there's no competition with bigINTERNETTOUGHGUY for post of the year.

    I'm deeply flattered to be nominated for the Obama Award! :eek:

    Do I need to campaign?

    At season's start, I said this:
    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12438703&postcount=11
    No matter how hard reality smacked me in the face, my faith never faltered.

    Can't wait to hear everyone say "DoctorK said so" when we win the Treble next year!!! :D

    My vote for Giant One-Eyed Dwarf goes to Teso.
