Happy Birthday.

Sounds like you celebrated well.

The club chose me, father Gooner, from North West London, family supported club since late 1920's.

But you can choose a club too.

Really?

You've lead a very sheltered life mate..

In fact, some of the people on this forum have done just that!

Happy birthday, MG

England cricket team gave you your present a few days ago!

FFS I didn't realise that. I dislike the amount of politics in SA sport. I just won't get into much arguements, but the SA cricket team is the worse of a bad bunch.

Maybe i can borrow your topic to this question;

ive read some on the forum it either depends what side of london your living(north london i suppose, islington etc) that chooses what team you support or your family is gooners ; or you live in ireland and loves arsenal because you chose them , whatever it is etc etc.

but as arsenal fans who has followed arsenal hard from the history until now, what do you think of arsenal fans outside uk, like for example in sweden, a teenager started following arsenal when he was 14 years old when vieira played(this is just an example) until now we say he is 22, he dont knows a shit about arsenal before 95 .. is he a real gooner or just a "gooner"? hope you understand my question

There would be fans in London who know nothing of Arsenal before 1998.

I recommend reading thse books to get some history and context:

Tom Watt "The End" excellent book, to get an idea of fan culture at the club from 1913 - 1992

John Spurling "Rebels For The Cause" about the culture of the players

Phil Soar/Martin Tyler - "The Official History of Arsenal"

and

Brian Glanville - "Arsenal Stadium History" for an official in depth look at Highbury.
