How Irish are you?

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.

No Irish blood. The closest I get is drinking a pint of Guinness or Bayley's

Been away for a week so sorry for dragging this one up again but I do find it amazing that a lot more than half the people on here have some Irish blood and at least one other sounds like she wants more Irish in her :oops: :gus2:

I assume much of this comes back to the fact that there were thousands of Irish in North London in the 70s around the time the team started having a major irish flavour. :tricolour:

The other interesting thing :asleep_at_work: is that this is one of the few threads in the last weeks that hasn't turned into " we need to sign (fill in the blanks) or we are all doomed" versus "Arsene walks on water and will sign JC himself so we will do the quadruple next season" :meeeow: :roll: :wink:

Roll on tomorrow so we can talk about real footy again and the speculation ends. (I can dream any way :cheers: )
