Finally! A place where I can discuss with some SUPPORT!! I live in Chicago, attend H.S., and also love my Chicago Cubbies and Bears, but just as important are my Gunners. My friends either hate football (soccer) or love it, and hate my odd love for Arsenal. Finally I've found some fellow Gunner fans. Arsenal fan all of my 16 years, and never plan on quiting! Again, just saying hello, and giving my appreciation. Hope to enjoy the forum.
Welcome abaord! Lots of Windy City Gunners post here, and most of them go to Fire games, as well (my opinions on the MLS will be self edited for the sake of world peace). They generally all get together for big matches, too, but I'm not sure where they go is all ages, since it is a pub. Catfish, arsenalgirl#####, anyone help your fellow Chicago Gooner out here?
Welcome to the forum! Always good to see another Gunner -- especially so when that Gunner is also a Bears fan!
Ginger's Ale House, Grace & Ashland. Come on Coach, aren't you the contact for ArsenalAmerica, Dallas branch? I thought you knew where all the other branches met Last summer at Southlake must have fried your brain.
As much as I would love to be a part of the illustrious Chicago Gooners, I am afraid that I am a part of the Georgia Gooners! I believe there is another girl from the Windy City on the board though.
Welcome Arsenal55!!! Sweet another Gunner on Big Soccer. At least you were raised right or your education wasn't a complete waste of time, you are a Gunner!!! I'm a history teacher, btw. Ginger's Ale House truly is football Mecca for Americans...at least in Chicago. You are not alone, Chicago has TONS of Gunners. Just keep in touch with us via here and then show up for a match next season, if you can't make one this season. Ginger's has great food and beers (sorry about that) and atmosphere. Have fun Arsenal55 here on BS and remember always wear a cup...wink.
ill try checking it out next year. this year is already in the bag ! well thanks for all the plesant feedback, again this is a place where i finally feel like im not the only gunner fan. Can't wait to express some feelings on ths site. Let's hope for an Arsenal win v.s. Fulham, a Cubs sweep of Colorado this weekend . (ill stop with the cubs pep)
