So is this it then? We're lumbered with the board as it is?

[Monty92]

This is gonna be like being stuck in a loveless, sexless relationship :-(

Not that I would know anything about that.

Yes. We will just have to go through the motions with this board while closing our eyes and thinking about the old board all the time. :-(

[TheCurly]

Personally I've never gotten over the old,old board

[Sir C]

Personally I've never gotten over the old,old board

Blimey yes. Tony C dug out some archived pages from the old old one.

All those years ago :-(

[Burney]

Well yes. First love and all that.

[Monty92]

I don't remember it. Was this before I joined?

[Luis Anaconda]

Well yes. First love and all that.

I'll be honest - I've been seeing other boards for some time

You old bawd.

[Sir C]

I don't remember it. Was this before I joined?

No, you were on the old, old board, I'm sure of it. It was in use until January 2005.

[Burney]

No, you were on the old, old board, I'm sure of it. It was in use until January 2005.

I wasn't on the old, old, old board, though. Unlike you.

[Sir C]

I wasn't on the old, old, old board, though. Unlike you.

The old, old, old board I was on was AFCi, on the official site. Monty was on that, too.

See, this is when the abject ****ness of this new board comes into full effect. Any moment now, this thread will be inaccessible beyond a certain point without an additional layer of pointless clickery.

Someone - I don't know who, but I have my suspicions - deserves cancer.

[TheCurly]

I'm 72 you know

[Monty92]

Yes I remember AFCi. The banter with Librarian was just lovely.

I just don't remember Awimb in its former, former life.

[Sir C]

Yes I remember AFCi. The banter with Librarian was just lovely.

I just don't remember Awimb in its former, former life.

And his woman/wife. What was her name?

[Monty92]

And his woman/wife. What was her name?

I can't remember, but she once threatened to do a diarrhea poo on my face :-(

[Sir C]

She was an interesting person.

By 'interesting', I mean she swore a lot after some drinks :(

Does anyone know what became of Greg? Does he post elsewhere? It's a shame Awimb was deprived of his talents. I'm aware he was quite possibly an unpleasant bloke, but if I'm allowed to post, then the bar for ****ishness must be pretty high :shrug: And he was infinitely more interesting than most posters on here.

I'm sure he popped up once on the Guardian commenting on an Arsenal game. Just saw him the once.

I think Sir C had a sighting of him on The Guardian at some point.

The man is/was a certifiable lunatic, tbh.

I know, but he was good value, so it's a shame he's no longer around. It's not like we're blessed with talent.

[TheCurly]

Are you comparing Greg to Eboue?

[Ash]

It's not like we're blessed with talent.

I blame the lurkers. They just sit there expecting to be entertained and contribute ****-all to the atmosphere in here.

Are there many lurkers these days? We used to have hundreds :sigh:

Gosh. Peter was around back then. Who knew?

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

I'll be honest - I've been seeing other boards for some time

Have you been saying to this board.... "It's not you, it's me" ?

I have - it's clearly a lie though
