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 Sydney, raised in East Finchley and have been living in Stokey for 10 years which is an absolute delight as the pub crawl back from the ground down Church Street is a killer! :lol:

My mum was playing for the Arsenal when her waters broke, they had to use the changing rooms as a hospital. The closest thing she had to a doctor was Bertie Mee. Luckily, my Dad (who was Chairman of the Arsenal at the time), made sure she was as comfortable as possible.

Yeah, well my Great Grandad was born in 1886 & he filled up one of the canons at Royal Arsenal with his spunk & then shot it all the way from Woolwich across the river straight at & up my Grandmum who just happened to be sunbathing on the North Bank of the Thames with no knickers on.

I was born up the wrong end of the seven sisters road. We moved out to rural essex when I was a wee kid as dad got a job working for lotus. I've been here ever since and in honesty would not want to move back there now. It's a different place to the one I knew as a child.
All my family still live there and they're all fucking heebs. They don't talk to me!
