Hi everyone, seasons greetings, and welcome to the 2012 Arsenal Times Christmas quiz. I may have been abroad, but nothing will prevent me from posting up this years installment of brain teasing Arsenal related tedium. There are only 42 questions this year, because that is how many questions it has taken for my family to get extremely p*ssed off.
As usual, its just for fun, I will put the answers up when I can get round to it. Eduardo normally beats me to it in any case.
Train spotter types, please feel free to do your own quiz instead of contacting me with minor quibbles about this one.
cheers, Celine Dion

Bullshit, he knows nothing about Arsenal. Those questions were actually posted on another Arsenal forum and Celine is simply using us to get the answers so he can go back with an impressive score of 42/42 and look like a real fan.
Don't be fooled by all this 'I've stopped going to the Emirates' lark.
