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.
ok,, just seeing ts avatar and must put the record straight,,,
i love north london,, go there 3/4 times a year and i was even born there,, my only gripe is with the pubs ,, there a load of old shite,, shite atmosphere crap( no pun intended ) toilets and bad beer,,
its only on a match day that theres any craic around finsbury park , blackstock road area
You shall be doing no such thing, Reb. I'm going to bring that back one day, then I'm going to trademark it and then print it on t-shirts. I'll make millions. OK, thousands. OK, hundreds. OK, fifty quid. OK, a tenner. OK, a pound - if I'm lucky
I love the whole buzz of the place been there three times. But it has all been on matchdays so I have never seen it on a quite day. But I love walking around seeing Gooners everywhere great stuff.
I think it is an absolute hole and if it were not for the Arsenal I would never visit the place. There are many nicer parts of London in which I would rather spend my time.

Let's be fair rebel, you don't venture much outside the "Arsenal Triangle" do you.
Although our part of North London isn't the best, you can still venture on Upper Street, starting at the Hope and Anchor and wander on down towards the Angel.
to be fair on match days no.. i lived up near kilburn in kensal rise for a bit and that was a shite hole as well,,
but its true and its only pubs i see when im over
unless the mrs with me and then its the whole harrods oxford st etc

It's nicer down in Fulham rebel - if you get a season ticket down there you can take in a few decent pubs and probably get a discount at Harrods as well.

Oh I know that one well!!
I'm over for the Chav match in December and I'm bringing the missus and kids with me, so it's Harrods and Oxford Street on the Saturday and then I meet up with some Gooner mates and local boy Fordy on the Sunday for beer and footy (if I've any money left after the Saturday!!)
I actually like N5, probably because I have always associated it with the Arse . There are some nice boozers up on Church Street too; one in particular where after we battered Derby Co, meself and the bro got a lock-in until 5.30 the next morning!! Result.
