Walcott I spose was born there
Gone are the days of local players playing for local clubs!
There should at least be a token presence
yes jumpers for goalposts, we could all leave our keys in the door, everyone knew each other then.
Things change it is the way of the world
I live quite near to The Emirates, can I play?
ledley king/ jermaine defoe i suppose. that's about it.
Or West Ham fans from East London, most seem to live in Basildon or Southend

Don't talk daft. Tons of Hammers live near the ground. And plenty of Arsenal fans live near Highbury.
Good performance from the Gunners tonight. For all the fancy passing around, Barça were complacent, and vulnerable on the counter. Should've had a second goal first half mind, and that could've changed the game, but second half they were lazy and wasteful, and just too arrogant really. Seemed to relax into a 1-0 lead. You never do that against an attacking team like Arsenal.
Will be a different story in the Nou Camp, but if Arsenal can just 'park the bus' , which they never do, then they might, just might sneak through.
I was born a mile from Leyton Orient. Was always too good to play for them though. đŸ™‚
Trying to remember the last English side to win at the Nou Camp. Anyone know?
walking across my square about 10 minutes ago and heard simultaneous screams from all sides - I'm guessing there's a few Arsenal fans in Islington!
Do they play in red, DD? đŸ˜‰
Globalisation innit.

And aren't they the ONLY English side to have won there ? (twice!)
The only London club that doesn't enjoy much 'local' support is Chelsea. In fairness it's an extortionately expensive place to live, and footy clubs tend to usually be in more 'working class' areas of town.

We all know if was Liverpool!
Was it Liverpewl? By jove!! I thought it might have been Utd.
How come you're a plastic Scouse then Elfin? Why not support the Orient?
Just asking like.
Some of me mum's family are from Merseyside. Orient are rubbish. Simple really. đŸ™‚
Next question...
Just asking like.
Thing is, Gary, you're not [i]just[/i] asking though, are you?
Dundee Utd did once! 1987 I think.
