The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Fair enough. My final guess will be a player I have seen play in person on us soil. If I do win I will supply the label but the beer will not be coming to my porch.

 

Thomas_Vermaelen for the win!

 

Szczesny?

 

This is the closest guess ... (I don't have a Fabianski jersey, fyi)

 

Rosicky?

 

getting warmer postionally

 

hint #5 - he was on the 2012 and 2013 roster

 

Diaby?

 

nope. I warned of the evil-ness. A lot of these guesses all fit the bill.

 

hint #6 - Like all of Diaby's seasons; his 2009 season was cut short by injury

 

And since I did this LIF, Arsenal have put in maybe their best league performance of the year. I might be (have to) do this regularly!

 

Van Persie? Just throwing a random guess out there. Might have already been guessed (haven't fully caught up yet). Thanks for the chance either way!

Edit he has been picked. Will make a new guess momentarily

 

no one got it! Im putting everyone on a random list to declare a winner!

 

the answer was Aaron Ramsey

I bought the jersey after the Portsmouth game. After I got it I only wore it once before Shawcross broke his leg.


@mbmiche BM me!

 

Thanks for the lif. It was fun.

 

I may just have to try to watch a little football (of the not-American variety) now to honor this win! I don't even know where to look to watch it though...What channels cover soccer matches? I am always in need of sporting events to watch when I am grading papers...

I spent some time in Uganda during a couple of summers several years ago. The people I worked with were nuts about soccer/football. Most were Arsenal, Chelsea, or Man. United fans. I decided then that I wouldn't be a Man. United fan--their following seemed to be too big and the fans were the most obnoxious... But I never did decide between Chelsea or Arsenal. I guess this seals the deal!

To celebrate:

My first Bomb!--Pretty tasty (I still have another--orange wax--from one of my first trades several months ago with a BA who knocked my socks off with BA generosity and probably fueled my addiction, I mean enthusiasm for, trading... @Dave_Treat --I was excited when I saw you pop up into this group. Maybe I'll finally have the chance to send a little more gratitude your way!)

And I will certainly be continuing the LIF trend! I am heading out of town at the end of the week, but will try to put something together for after Christmas, before New Years! Stay Tuned.

Thanks again (many times over!) @heystevec !!!!

 

Don't tease Dave like that, he JUST got his first Gratitude!

 

I see what you did there... He deserves it!

 

Big soccer fan here. Why Ramsey? Just being curious. Congratulations to @mbmiche !

 

And I am grateful for the gratitude!
