The holiday season is upon us. Walking up and down
Abbot Kinney two nights ago in Venice Beach, the Christmas Carolers were already out - entertaining

On paper, Arsenal should slip quite easily past Hull this afternoon. Its a home game, at fortress
Emirates, in front of a passionate crowd of over 60,000 fervent Gooner fanatics. Plus Hull have had
a pretty torrid calender year for 2009, they have not won away from home this season, Bullard is
injured.
