Indeed. But who is Kazakh Boy? A number of members have been on the forum a long time. I first joined in the last three months of 1998, so over 21 years. I know it was around then because I started a new job on 1st October 1998 and it was the first time I’d had access to the internet. One of first things I did on the internet was look for Arsenal chat rooms and decided this one was the best. I think it still is even though many of the posters from that time no longer use it. Hence it is largely made up by newer members.

Bernard I believe 'Kazakh boy' is TAFKAEIN aka Exiled.

I started using the forum in 1997 around the time we signed overmars I think, the first time I had access to the internet. At the time I had no idea how the Internet would shape my life, my career or the world.

Very heartwarming Kiwi, time for a forum group hug.

No idea how long the Gleiber has been going , I joined when Granty Boy had a computer downstairs I'd have thought 1995 .

Good morning everyone,

I hope this is okay to post here – if not, moderators please move or delete as appropriate.

I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris
Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine
articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and
replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10 ... 19.1578255).
Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have
run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years.

We are looking for the music that Arsenal have run out to, for as
many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in
the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons
Arsenal ran out to this. Any help you can give us to
piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would
be hugely appreciated.

If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs
being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic.

I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song
that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the
tannoy system as the players enter the field.

If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any
questions, please let us know! We would be very happy to discuss the
project.

Thanks for your time guys,

Joe Headland

When I first contacted the site you would post and have to enter your moniker. I chose Gaz. Sometime later there was another Gaz posting and to distinguish I became Gaz from Oz and the other became Gaz from Borewood or something like that & he is still on now and then. Steve, our founder was very happy to hand out suspensions and it was a very interesting time. The only forum member I have ever met was MEA who I met in Cairns for a beer. If you still read here MEA hello.

At the moment they rotate

Talking Heads - Were on the road to nowhere
Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the middle with you
Faith no more - Falling to pieces
Pink Floyd - Goodbye Cruel World

Correct ..... Exiled metamorphing into the unpronounceable TAFKAEiN is like a cool sleek leopard changing into an amblypigid .

The name change probably has some romantic connatations ...an anagram for Tara , Agnes , Fiona , Katrina , Annie , Elizabeth , Ingrid and Nelly his first eight sweethearts ... the reason Ingrid is lower case i ...she was only a one night stand .

No idea how long the Gleiber has been going , I joined when Granty Boy had a computer downstairs I'd have thought 1995 .

Sheffield United now 8 points ahead of us. If you needed a reminder what an unmitigated disaster this season has been.

The Arsenal today in 1940 featuring in Picturegoer magazine.

Bonus points if you can name two earlier films which heavily featured The Arsenal...

Didn't realize how many billionaires owned clubs. Not so when I first became a fan.

Yes so many lost souls

EEG was always entertaining and shared a similar sense of humour. Choc and Cannon were bonkers

Shame US Martin w as banned. Others were Chippys Chisler, Eskimo, Manoj, Ragahav, Spencer, Vince Ordinaire....etc.

I remember all those Zed. Andreas XavT Odysseus Truegooner Juliano Gaz (BWood) Spencer (tosser) Babu(s) and of course Fishbar.

No idea when I first posted but I'd stalked this place for a while before diving in. I used to post as DonHowesDad because I thought t'internet was the sole prerogative of the young - and I wasn't. Didn't realise most on here were as old as Methuselah and that relatively speaking, I was a slip of a lad. Later I took East End Gooner's cue (EEG) and shortened to DHD. Got banned several times too.

We haven't seen John's dancing leprechaun in quite some time.

Got banned several times too.

Agnes? Behave.

Not sure when I started posting but I do know that your posts were often very useful in figuring out how far you could go before Steve banned you...
