Reading  :-[

We had a ball in the Premiership (for 1 1/2 seasons...) - OT was a great place to visit.

We'll be back (one day...)  ;D

Arsenal, I was born in Highbury - about 5 minutes from the old ground. I can see the Emirates fom my kitchen window. Still beaming from our performance on Saturday against Spurs. It's shaping up to be a nail-biter of a season.

it's time you won the european cup, arsenal v utd would be a great final, chelsea had their chance against us, and blew it on pens, (john terry) but your young guns are much better than they are i reckon.? :-\

Hmmm, Arsenal v Man Utd in the Champions' League final...I don't think I'd be able to watch that. My heart would break if we lost and my head would explode if we won.

nice bikes!

the first time i visited london, a pal took me (on our way to a pub) to arsenal's grounds.  just standing outside at night, it was impressive in person (i had only seen games on tv or internet).  this would have been 2002.

one of my dreams is to see a big premier game in person.

i was in england this past summer; a good friend from back home (detroit) hooked me up with his pals from leicester city.  came to find out, i was hanging with the baby squad!  :o

anyway, welcome!
