How far do you live and were born from The arsenal ?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I was born in Watford, but my dad's from Highbury and my whole family are Arsenal.

There was never any choice for me. Arsenal all the way. :barscarf:
