  • Come and have one more in the Tolly 🍻 —the Intro Thread

Hello folks. I've been looking for a different Arsenal forum to post in. At 41, I feel I'm too old for the other ones since everyone puts bro at the end of each post. I have lurked on and off here for a few years, usually after a bad loss.

Born and grew up in Islington and have been an Arsenal fan since mid '89 - a couple of weeks before the greatest moment in English football. My dad had taken me to the home game against Derby County, which we bottled and lost 2-1.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Yeah I hate that too. Welcome to our much more adult and sophisticated forum, bruh.

        i just clicked on my name and saw i joined this place in november 2014, almost a fucking decade ago. and we were on arsenal mania for like a decade before that. my god, ive spent like 40% of my entire life talking about this football club with all of you

          How long has it been since Tucker McRoy was born?

          mdgoonah41 I just checked mine - I joined here 2011 and joined A_M in December 2003! I just posted back on A-M to check my profile. Replied to a comment from one HomeSteak which was made 17 minutes ago. Anyone else also lurk or post over there? I hadn't been back for ages before that. It looks a bit daunting. I like it here better.

              Just logged in. It's very information dense, every reply seems to top post the previous post, often adding very little. Lots of interminable player threads with dad joke moderated titles. Looks fairly degraded relative to its pomp, though it might just be a lack of familiarity.

                  Burnwinter the dad joke titles are a remnant from when the Tolly lot ran AM I think as for some reason player threads with just the player name in the title were forbidden.

                  I post quite often there, not necessarily about Arsenal or football though mostly just banter as I met a couple of the regulars there when in London and they're good people. Don't post much Arsenal because my interest in following the club and football in general is jaded and not what it used to be.
