    This board is/was incredible!

    In moments of heightened tedium during Lockdown, one would occasionally search random words-of-interest and read old threads on the topic. There's gold in the archives; many dear departed posters, great debate, good posts.

    Like Hansard, only better because I don't feel parliament ever truly got down to the nitty-gritty concerning the later Wenger years, for example, or the Emery incumbency, the early Arteta steps. And so on.

    Of course, The Classics are mostly so ridiculously good that it's almost ridiculous to read them all over again.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    I frequently read The Classics. They always make me chuckle.

    What year was the original migration from AFCi to Awimb? I suspect it was 1998?

    Yes, I was working at The Sun and me and couple of Arsenal fans were chatting with the journos who had heard a rumour that he'd been seen at Arsenal training ground. We'd also heard a sniff a few days before.

    My mate, a fellow Gooner, was driving us back from Whitechappel to Hackney listening to some Pirate ragga station. The Sperz supporting DJ broke the news and he was fuming. The then played that song that goes "In for drink in a chi-chi man bar / Fire make we burn dem."

    He responds to his rivals getting Sol on a free with some West Indian homophobia.

    What a time that was! Much appreciated, despite the abuse (was that you or somebody else?).
