It's my 40th anniversary

[Brodo]

On the 29th January. 40 years since I went to my first Arsenal first team game.

2-0 v West Brom in a 4th round fa cup replay.

It's been a roller-coaster

Many more that I've left out. Win or lose I've enjoyed every season - I've never regretted the choice I made 40 years ago.

Congratulations, Brodo. I'm sure that I speak for all of us when I say that I'm honored to have played a small part in your Arsenal life.

That's pretty amazing, Brodo, what a great list.

Really enjoy your contributions to this board - your experience gives some much-needed historical accuracy and perspective.

Speaking of which, just curious: Is the current squad, including the last two seasons, the best you've ever seen?
