How many of you Gooners are actually from London?

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.

Born in Dublin. Raised in Brisbane. Live in Dublin now. Lived and worked in London for about a year back in 1991 due to economic neccessity and had a good time but don't think I'd like to live there full time now TBH... I inherited my Goonerdom from my old man (thanks dad!) - he lived in London in the late 1960's and workmates brought him to Highbury. The rest, as they say, is history! 8)

All my family still live there and they're all fucking heebs. They don't talk to me!
Nothing to do with football, you just bore them to tears too!

That's just one of the reasons mate. If only you knew the whole story.
Anything to do with that oath they make you coppers take?

That's it isn't it, I bet you nicked your entire family. :wink:

Brought up in St Albans, very near the training ground where pre-Wenger you could get in and watch them train (and fetch balls that Hayes and Caesar booted over the hedge!).

Now live in Highbury so pretty damn local!
