Today, I am incredibly proud to announce AA’s first ever DitIt Competition, wot has a prize ‘an all.
Yip, indeedy, your chance to win this fabulous (unframed) picture of the Mighty Mickey Thomas the night where he DidIt. At 30x21cm this wonderful picture depicting the finest moment in Arsenal’s incredible history will enhance any home.
Here’s the deal. This is a simple competition, with simple rules.
Below are the remaining fixtures for The Arsenal, Spuds and Chavs with their current points tally. All you have to do is enter three lines with the final, end of season tallies. I know that Everton could surge, or City collapse, but it’s my quiz and my rules, so there.
In the event of a tie, the winner will be the first to have posted the correct result. Should no-one have the exact end totals, I will count one point for every plus or minus you are out for each of the three. The winner will have the lowest total. (panic not, I know what I mean J ).
All entries need to be posted here before tomorrow’s post goes up. Pic will be sent out in a protective tube anywhere in the world once the winner has sent their address and a silly name to Arsenalnuts. Email address above under “Contact”. Someone remind me, and I’ll be posting it the day the season has ended.
My competition should allow room for a little chit chat about the fixtures ahead, the pitfalls, and of course, where the inevitable Spud collapse is most likely to take place.
Brilliant idea eh, and may the best Gunner win!
CURRENT STANDINGS: Chelski 55 pts, Spuds 54, Arsenal 50
ARSENAL FIXTURES: Reading h, WBA a, Norwich h, Everton h, Fulham a, Utd h, QPR a, Wigan h Newcastle a
SPUD FIXTURES: Swansea a, Everton h, Chelsea a, Man City h, Wigan a, Southampton h, Stoke a, Sunderland h
CHELSKI FIXTURES: Southampton a, Sunderland h, Spuds h, Liverpool a, Swansea h, Utd a, Villa a, Everton h, Fulham h
So, work out a points tally from the remaining fixtures for the three teams and stick your thoughts into a comment.

That’s how it’s done, and author’s prerogative to get in first.
Ha ha, if I’m correct, I’m first and up goes the picture 🙂
Arsenal 73
Spuds 70
Chelsea 67
Did i win? Did i win? Did I win?
Jokes on you didit, it’s going to cost you a fortune sending that to OZ!
Wow! A prize and not only a prize but something well worth winning. How exciting.
Last prize I won was a tube of Smarties for being runner-up in the Best Mashed Potato competition at Butlin’s in Eastbourne, and only two of us entered.
Wow Oz, serious Chav collapse.
They do have Thursday Cup as well as FAC distractions, but I just felt the quality of their players might prevail. It’ll certainly be down to motivation on their part.
Cost to Oz, by sea? 🙂
Raddy 🙂

Spuds 65
Is it AA’s first competition with a prize?
Morning all – and that is a gen-you-whine first for MDi89 so in the spirit of the competition my punt will be, say:
Chavs 74
Arsenal 70(Arsenal 4th on better goal difference)
Spuds 70 (Europa for the Swampies, Monkey man to Madrid, FOYS)
Chelsea 76
Arsenal 66
Tottenham 66
Arsenal – 73
Chelski – 72
Spuds – 64
That’s my prediction and as you can see Spuds not only sit below The Mighty gunners, they also sit below chelski! I’m sur eit would piss AVB off even more. Happy days!! Tottenshit Frogsperm’s collapse has already started, my friend. The sink hole has emerged!
Sorry Micky…first class express post for my picture thanks 🙂 Nothing but the best for my title winner!
Yeah i think everton, spuds, pool and united are all tough games for them. An injury to hazard will definitely help the cause though.
Oz
My biggest fear is that Tomstoned appears and wins, as I’ll have to send the thing to the fecking North Pole by a team of bleeding huskies 😦
Great idea Micky love to win that pic
Arsenal 66
Spuds 66
Chelsea 70
I think it will go to goal difference between us and spuds.
Very true Micky. Also if the navigator goes missing in the blizzard could you live with yourself? I vote we send BR, he’s a viking, he can navigate well!
Oz
Everyone, myself included, has just spent 9 mins 53 secs watching the best bit from the best film ever made 🙂
So, my first comment following the final game of the season, could be: “Raddy, fleece up, you’re popping out for a while!”
GN5’s prediction will terrify me the most, because as we speak, he’s factoring in the moons’ orbit 😦
Arsenal 65
Spurs 64
Chelsea 72
Kelsey,
With your Arsenal tally at 65, you’re the biggest doomer so far 🙂
You have us dropping 12 points from 9 games!
This from a team with no distractions, and a defence who have “had a chat” and are now unbreachable
Chelski – 72
Arsenal – 71
Spurs – 71
Arsenal to get forth by goal difference
Micky 65 or 75 forth would be an achievement this season 🙂
The Arsenal 72
Chelsea 73
Spuds 66
Good morning to you all,
I’ve consulted the stars, cast the horoscopes of Wenger, Benitez and Villas-Boas and providing Neptune doesn’t move into the orbit of Uranus, the results are foretold as :-
Chavs 73
Arsenal 71
Spuds 63
Put the prize on the stage coach now Didit, it will arrive about the middle of May.
Chelsea 73
Arsenal 71
Spurs 71
Would be so good for them to miss out on gd
@ Micky
he’s already on his way!!!
Micky;
You will not be very happy with my prediction.
I predict that you will have to start over from scratch as you have omitted an away game for Chelsea vs Fulham. It’s a postponed game and has not been rescheduled as yet………so sorry…………
‘Demius,
Having closely examined the problem, I decided that as we are trying to predict random events, the best mathematical model to help solve the conundrum would be my old friend Chaos Theory, which would enable me to apply simplistic but deterministic equations to the known and foreseeable events.
But then I had a pang of conscience, because I would clearly win, and that would not be fair on all the other AAers.
So I decided on another impartial method, first to decide on the number of points Arsenal would achieve, and then the other two.
Starting with the hairs on my little toe, and pulling them out until I reached a line drawn around my ankle, it appears that AFC will score 70 points.
Doing the same for the ugly cousins, I forecast, or my hairy foot forecasts 68 points for the Chavs, and 67 for the Spuds.
As a bye product, I now have three sexy, vajazzle type lines emanating from my little toe, my big toe, and that strange one in the middle.
Anyone mentioning any hirsute likeness between my feet and the saquatch Bigfoot will have said foot applied to the derriere of the offending party, at the earliest possible moment.
Micky, you can send my winnings to my home base, Vitivetu Ikanscoffu, a little island pad I own just South, South West of Fiji.
Thank you
My predictions will be…
Chelsea – 77
Arsenal – 74
Spurs – 69
Gn5
Really. Damn.
Only thing I can suggest is that all predictions stand but to take only Arsenal and Spud scores
Any other suggestions?
Bloody typical American.
Can you lay out the answer as requested?
Of corse not
You can do it that way Micky but it greatly increases the chances of draws.
I would suggest that you simply add 3 points to each Chelsea prediction made before 11:30 am with the exception of The American’s who (I don’t think) included the Fulham fixture.
good idea G5 (12.18)
Only one person I know around here that has the capacity to use the word ‘deterministic’…is that you Sheep!!! 🙂
Sheep news .com
Blackburn sack manager after 67 days.
Anyone still there?
Anyone who can edit the post around who can add in to Chelsea fixtures “Fulham h”
I suggest I post a capital letter statement saying the competition stands as is, but anyone who has posted before now can change their taliies by adding one or three points to their Chelsea scores.
All agreed?
Ok, just spoken to Peaches who is going to get Rasp to edit, and add in Fulham h to the Cheslea list.
Then I’ll stick up my message.
Up what are you going to stick your message Didit? 🙂
That’s my next week’s quiz Norfolk 🙂
Mdi89 – I can do the change now, I think. do you want me to try ?
Hi Micky, I’ve stuck ‘Fulham h’ on the end of the chav list … was it a game that didn’t get played from the first half of the season?
Ah too late – it’s already been done. Always a tad tardy me 🙂
ATTENTION ALL COMPETITORS
Due to a balls up, Fulham h (tba) has only just been added. I will simply add three points to everyone’s Chav total who posted before 11:30. Those who did post before 11:30, can repost if they’d rather just add one point state that they’d envisge a Chelsea loss and therefore leave their total without the three extra points.
Sorry all.
Nice job Micky 😛 sorry I haven’t been able to join in the spirit, here’s my prediction:
Arsenal 200 points (awarded the Champion’s League title in recognition)
Chavs 55 points (don’t win another game for the rest of the season)
Spuds -25 and relegated (fined by the FA for fielding an ineligible simian species)
Rasp
Does your prediction include the extra Chav game or not? 🙂
I’ll leave my predictions as they are – Rosie was insistent that is how the table positions 3-5 would finish, MDi89.
Micky, the chav game won’t get played because the FA rely on this site for all their information 🙄
Chary and Rasp 🙂
Aaaagggghh! I’ve just spotted an error! Jupiter has entered Uranus Saturn is following Venus, so Chelsea v Fulham will be a nightmare for all Sagittarians, the only possible result is a draw. I should add one point to my prediction, but Aquarius will be on the cusp so I must leave it as it was.
Chelski – 71pts
Gunners – 69pts
Spuds – 63pts
Thinking of Chelsea. Benitez knows he’ll be off, so presumably his CV would look better with The Europa and/or FAC Winners on it, whereas could he really care less whether Chelsea are top 4 or not.
Might his team selections reflect this?
I think a fairer way to decide positions in the Premier League is shown at the start of every season … just keep it alphabetical, we win the league and the tiny totts get relegated … simples
Rasp
Some people really do overcomplicate things don’t they?
The bookies have done the DidIt competition and the odds are 4:5 on for Arsenal to qualify for the CL, there.
Chavs 72, The Mighty 71 and Scum 65
Hi
I will go with my answer as of this morning .
So Sheepy,
What is this Chaos Theory you were on about, and when you mentioned deterministic, the adjectival form of determinism, did you rely on the definition that it is an inevitable consequence of antecedent sufficient causes?
[Please supply your answer in lucid English please!] Bahh 🙂
Can’t understand a work of what u typed RA.
YOU seem to forget English/American is my second launauge type it in basic English I can then reply
Much Love
Word not work sorry
Dear Mr Didit
Thank you for applying to the BBC as our new results broadcaster but I am afraid that your application has been rejected 🙂
Sheep news.com
Michael Owen is retiring its only taken him 7 years to tell us
Funny Sheep 🙂
Kelsey,
That was nothing. I was going to launch into a Grand National styley: “Could all runners and riders please return to..”
Thing is, yes there’s been a cock up thanks to the stupid Chav fixture list on their stupidly stupid site, but there will be a winner, I will decide, and there will be no stewards enquiry nonsense 🙂
What I find ROLFingly funny, is that we have two highly intelligent people sticking Spuds on 63 points, which could be winning 3 of their remaining 8 games, and losing 5…..
Exactly how much fun would that be? 🙂
Hi Kelsey,
Two questions for you!
1. Why the dickens are you returning to the UK from your languid and iconic lifestyle of sun, sea and …….. sand? 🙂
2. Terry Nutkins has heard about your shiny, new, luxurious blue rinse, and wants to borrow your syrup to go Granny Grabbing — is that a Go? 🙂
See RA you can type normal I can understand that
Boree da
pam dont like the web so fa cup Put balls in a bag and pull out a default sydd yn yn and number on it and simples thats the winner of the photo
Sheepy,
I think you are just teasing me.
It is my understanding that we have always relied on Newton’s Principia Mathematica which was written in 1687, and stated that Nature has laws and we can calculate them.
He maintained that the universe functions like a machine and all its patterns are predictable.
It is only relatively recently that naughty people, like you, brought that understanding and Newton’s principles into question by saying he was wrong.
According to their posited Chaos Theory, the world is far more complicated than Newton thought. They maintain the life of the Universe is not predictably fixed, but is instead subject to the minutest whims of random unpredictability.
And that was what I was going to use to win Mickeydemius’s oracular quiz, although I subsequently chose the Bigfoot methodology!
Now you are going to tell me that I am wrong! 😦 😦
Honestly, you sheep are far too clever for your own wool, and should stick to being chops!
Got it now RA and I totally agree even with the line u used in the above .
It is only relatively recently that naughty people, like you,
Much love 🐑
Red Arse my friend there is a very good reason but not for discussion on here .
Need more time to work out the final points tally because the prize is so good I want to win it and not be frivolous.
Michael Owen retires. Shame he didn’t make the decision before his double at Cardiff in the FAC Final.
Rio makes a fool out of Roy. Shame on him.
Raddy
I would have thought with all that oilly fish from the flipper sloshing about within, the onion would be at the peak of its powers.
Regarding Rio and England, I’m secretly hoping we are “doing a Rio” with Our Jack 🙂
Didn’t GN5 say it was an away game for the chavs v fulham?
They drew 0-0 with them in November at home.

Arse 77
chavs 75

Chas
Do I need to make another announcement? 🙂
On the other hand, you should have kept that to yourself, and called it “insider information”
Micky:
Oh dear.
Just got back home – but maybe I should have stayed out as I have more bad news.
As I said in my 11:30 am Chelsea play Fulham away and not at home.
Sorry.
In answer to your question this morning, I haven’t got a concrete nest date as there is a chain anging aht of it.
More limbo for me I’m afraid.
Oops I see that Chas has already made that known…………..
I just never know when to be quiet……
GN5
You are one more clever remark away from being disqualified.
And, oh yes I can 🙂
And Chas,
You’re on a yellow
Tough old referee’s on this site.
Power tends to turn people into right bastards!
And I’m feeling a surge of power right now 🙂
Off out now to pick up my grandchildren from school, two different school’s15 miles apart and the first school is 12 miles from my house..
Sometimes I wonder if I’m retired or just plain retarded.
Bonnie Tyler from Swansea but lives in mumbles were mr Laudrup lives is the uk entry for the uk in the Eurovision Song Contest this year.
She owned a night club in Swansea in the 80s I met here once she looking as rough as 4 trout with no food .
She’s on bbc1
Maybe as a penance, Gn5 would like to volunteer to do a spreadsheet with everyone’s name and their answers to todays competition 😉
Runs and hides 😆
Don’t worry Peaches, I’ll do it. Part of the package.
I hope Chas wins, as he has Arsenal on 77 points, which is winning them all. Then again, I’m quite a fan of those having us pipping Spuds on goal difference, as that may be the biggest ROLF of all.
Evening all, man flu from hell here.
But still time to predict 😀
What happens in the event of a draw?
Chavs 74
Arsenal 74
Spuds 70
If its a draw easy cut picture in half
Horizontally or Vertically?
Here we go Didit:
Chavs – 75
Arsenal – 72
Spuds – 70
Actually I have had a though on something to keep us occupied during the summer…..there are approximately 8 weeks of nothingness (unless the board and manager cut loose in the transfer market).
So by my calculations that gives us time to nominate and vote for our all time greatest team.
Normally this kind of thing is done in a poll with just a name to vote for.
We could do the following:
Week 1 – Keepers
Week 2 – right backs
Week 3 – left backs
Week 4 – centre backs
Week 5 – centre midfielders
Week 6 – wingers
Week 7 – forwards
Tuesday to Friday nominations, Saturday poll. Sunday results.
Mondays are obviously Rocky days.
For this to work you all need to send nominations and a brief why and wherefore to arsenal nuts, Peaches/Rasp can forward to me and I’ll collate in to the nomination posts, the beauty is you can all have your say in the post…..what’s everyone think? At least it’ll be different from the normal polls and given our spread of ages we should have some good summaries on players of yesteryear. And it’ll mean we can let others create the transfer tittle tattle.
Chelsea 73
Arsenal 69
Spurs 68
Latvia 33
Germany -5
Uk 200
GiE @ 8:59, excellent idea, we’ll do it 🙂
Arsenal:66
Spuds:67 ;(
Chelski:69 ;(
Hopefully Man City will fail….
@ Micky
Red for Tomatoface!!!
New Tally:

Chavs – 69
Arse – 67
Spuds – 67
Greatest team sounds good. As I awill be away most of the summer in Asia here is mine.
Seaman
McNab Adams McLintock Rice
Vieira Pires Graham Fabregas
Henry Bergkamp
Obviously modern teams get preference as they are fresher in our mind. Perhaps Alex james and Ted Drake really should be in there.
The only big surprise is perhaps George Graham who was a great header of the ball and offers us something else.I tried to choose a team rather than the best 11 players.
I have watched Arsenal for over 50 years and I think I could choose 3 teams that were almost as good if not better. How can you leave out Keown, Ljundberg, Wright, Baker, Storey, Armstrong, RVP to name just a few.
When I moved to Canada in 74 I didnt really see the team until the late 90s as football didnt get exposure til then., So I have less appreciation for Brady, Stapleton and the Graham era teams as I just have only seen the odd highlight reel with them on.
You’re a star, Micky, no doubt.
Arse 73
Chavs 69
Spuds 68
Good idea GiE
Seaman
Dixon-Adams-Keown-Winterburn
Overmars-Viera-Brady-Pires
Henry-GOD
Honourable mentions: Ljungberg, Campbell, Cole, Rice, McLintock, Romford Pele, Denilson, Inamoto, Jeffers, Cygan, Diawara, Stepanovs, Silvestre, Richard Wright
Manager: Arsene Wenger
Morning all…..
See you’ve all started too early…the idea is that the nominations may influence you, Kelsey may tell us that Pat Rice was a better right back than Dixon could ever hope to be.
Morning all,
We are struggling to fll a poxy two weeks with posts, and GiE has done the entire summer 🙂
26,
Come back right now you fool
Rules quite clear, in the event of a draw, he’she who posted result first, wins.
So far we have no two similar, until YOU. Same as Bayonne’s.
As its you, change now.
26
If you don’t change it, I’ll add one to your Arsenal tally, to make you unique 🙂
Morning all
@ GiE
Oh i see…I blame neamman though, he started it!
Guten morgen mein Herrings 🙂
Have I won yet?
P.S. Kelsey was a better right back than Dixon – so he tells me!
Morning all
Raddy have you finished your post?
Morning All.
Can’t argue with Neaman’s team. Excellent work.
Chelski – 72
Arsenal – 69
Spuds – 62
You wouldn’t want me to win coz I’m quite far away from England. I would wish I were wrong, coz I want the Gunners to finish above Chelsea. But from the fixtures, my evaluation worked out this way.
Chavs 73
Arse 68
Spuds 68
Not to worry Sai, I too, have Chelsea ending above us. The important thing is we both have The Arsenal above Spuds!
What I really like about your entry, is that you have Spuds on a meagre 62 points. Excellent work my friend 🙂
Where are you?
Ahhh, sigh, Raddy.
Another with us beating them on goal difference.
Oh happy day 🙂
Rasp
Do I enter your:
Arsenal 200
Chavs 55
Totnum -25
🙂
Sai – Spuds only 6 points between now and seasons end? Like your style 😀
I think Sai has been kind.
Micky GD would be the best. Last year they got 4th and didn’t get CL which was hilarious. This year we can send them to Thursday’s with GD 🙂
Morning Micky,
Here’s my serious call:
Chavs 75
Arsenal 69
Spuds 69
Ooops, Raddy forgot to mention that he’s published his ……
… New post …….
Pardon my late reply for I’m in a different time zone.
My evaluation is totally unbiased despite my hatred towards the club that I’d bet on relegation without the combined diving services of Bale and Adebayor.
Here’s how it goes:
Swansea (a)-Loss (0), Everton (h)-Draw (1), Chelsea (a)-Loss(0), Man City (h)-Win(0), Wigan (a)-Draw (1), Southampton (h)-Win (3), Stoke (a)-Loss (0), Sunderland (h)-Draw (1)
I expect them to loose every away game, except a draw against Wigan, maybe. Their opponents at home are strong and are fighting for something in the league.
I’m from india btw, and I’m a regular followeer of AA and though I seldom reply to posts. That is primarily due to the fact that I’ve been a fan only for the past 10 odd years. Anyone who loves Football would love Arsenal and Worship the team for their philosophy and playing style. Chelsea fans abroad might only care about silverware.
