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. Live in Sydney. Not bothered to find out how many miles that is from London.
Closest I've lived to Arsenal is probably the time I've spent in Galway.

Trev was born in Swindon and still resides there (But I am a ST holder and not just an armchair wanna be)!! My dad (of Irish parents and worshipper of Liam Brady) was born in Barnet and lived in Palmers Green and my mum lived in Stoke Newington. They moved to Swindon when I was -3 months, hence my current reside and I now have to put up with the local paper running a 4 page pullout every year to celebrate the 1969 League Cup Final!!

3 miles? - glory supporter
I live roughly 100 miles away - but in real terms, that's 2 hours 30mins by National Express (or 2 weeks by train)

olgit was born in St Thomas' hospital. Which is on the Thames, opposite the Houses of Parliament.
olgit was raised in Sussex, surrounded by a lot of cretinous Chelsea fans who he refused to be influenced by.
olgit is therefor a right clever bastard.

Both parents from Scotland originally but my dad used to go up & stand on the North Bank now & again in the 70s & 80s just cos he loved football & the atmosphere - especially the “Paddyâ€
