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.

to be more precise: the german nazi´s support Union Berlin.
The Club itself does not encourage them.

lived in wales my nearly whole life bar 4 years the other side of the border, my fathers named his house highbury actually.

my father started supporting arsenal in 1969 because of his cockney relatives/freinds, so i just followed him instead of my local team shewsbury town. iv'e been lucky enough to see us win the league in 1998 and still attend 4-5 games a season, usually only once a season to the grove because the athmosphere is usually shit compared to away games.

London N 11 Born and Bred - and delighted by the fact.


Ran from Palmerston Road down Wood Green, Turnpike Lane, Manor House, and through Finsbury Park, to Arsenal in 1970, to queue up outside the ground for the Fairs Cup Second Leg v Anderlect.

Worth every bit of a 4.1/2 mile slog. And made much easier if you are only 12 years old.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner....that I think of her.........wherever I go......Oh !.....I......Get a funny feeling inside of me......just walking up and down........
