It's been a while...but I'm back in the hope that the new site will be a portent

For real change at our Club.

I'm looking forward to some interesting debate with the dwindling number of AKBs on here. I can't say I miss Nic, he seemed unable to ever argue his case without resorting to personal abuse which was always a sign that he was losing the argument. I have more respect for other Wenger loyalists even though I have argued since 2009 that we needed a new manager and see no point wasting another year just because his contract isn't up until then.

So....greetings to all who remember me and I'll be hanging around for a while!

I'm not convinced about your desire for interesting debate without personal abuse, given that you have already dismissed those who hold a different view to you as 'AKBs'.

It's a term of endearment, brotherly rivalry and respect. Just like WOB, I suppose.

Bit racist, mate

Hello YOM. Hope you're well. Nic is an amiable, easy-going chap in real life but it's true that his internet behaviour was somewhat abusive, which was odd seeing as he used to be on the wrong end of some nasty stuff himself back in the day. We still honour his passive-aggressive posting style with regular tributes.

I have had civil discussions with him, ISTR.

You have civil discussions with everyone, a; you're like our voice of reason. I'm just wary of the holder of a point of view being dismissed with a blunt acronym without even having the chance to state a position. (Unless he's a lefty, naturally.)

May I ask what Mr Winter said?

Wenger out, basically.

I don't care for your tone, whoever the **** you are.

:( Log in problems, I'm afraid. Wenger out indeed

Sticks and stones will break my bones but blunt acronyms won't invade my safe space too badly. Unless I'm in a bad mood.

And cookery obviously.

looooooooool.

what does AKB even stand for?

'Arsene Knows Best', I believe.

I suspect he often does. But no one is right all of the time.

I've tried to reply to this elsewhere but failed, because I am stupid.

Arsene Knows Best.

You're not a fan, j? Perhaps he's still, you know, settling in?

Perhaps.

On the other hand, he could just be a bit ****.

A-ha! A reply fail! You're stupid, too.

How can you tell?

I'm just quick replying.

See, quick.

He's had a season and a half, almost, tbf.
