    Never been to London, have no association with London! But everytime i hear this, there’s tears on my eyes. From a kid watching magic of Bergkamp in an old tv in the family hall in Bangladesh to crying at Wengers last match, to getting complaints from neighbours for screaming after every goal , the love for Arsenal never dampened. No matter where we are ,how we are , Arsenal will always be my club! My Arsenal , My love!

    As a North Londoner living abroad, this song had the tears rolling down the cheeks. I miss the bricks, the shops, the people. I miss the excitement of walking down Holloway road on the way to the pub on a Saturday night. I miss taking the bus from Archway station every morning. I miss catching the first rays of summer in Waterlow Park. I miss donning my blazing red and proudly marching to beers before every game. I miss London. Thank you for this mate ❤🤍

    As an Indian Arsenal supporter, I finally got to visit an Arsenal game in the Emirates for the first time this season on the Boxing Day. This song in the stadium was the most beautiful thing I experienced that day apart from Arsenal's football and Arsene Wenger visiting for the first time post-retirement. Never watched a match in Anfield when Liverpool fans sing YNWA but even if I do I will always have a bias for this one. Even though I am not from London, a lot of these lyrics generate a common feeling for working people in various global cities with their ever changing dynamics and a real special one for Arsenal fans. The streets are our own ❤❤

    If a miracle does occur and Arsenal actually do manage to win the league, I think Louis deserves to ride with the team in the open bus top parade. No one has managed to bridge that gap between the team and the club since Thierry Henry.
    It's still very early days, but starting to believe that something amazing can happen, just like this song has done for the entire club.

    As an American gooner, I can't relate to the feelings many of you North Londoners feel when the lyrics hit just the right spot and the memories flood in... but I can feel the passion in his voice and I can relate to the love of your hometown... and I am so damn happy the Gunners have a new anthem that makes the supporters feel such an immense passion. Time to put Spurs to bed on Thursday!

    Lyrics :
    As I walk these streets alone
    Through this borough I call home
    Upon the baron fields of Highbury,
    Neath the stadiums of stone
    Through the turnstiles at The Angel
    See the homeless on the green
    From The Cally to The Cross
    And every Shithole in between
    Pass the church, the mosque, a crack den
    And the offie on the corner
    See the brasses from the brothel
    That pretends to be a sauna
    Watch the bedlam in the bookies
    See the winners and the losers
    Seeking solace from their sorrows
    In the local battle cruisers
    Through the madness in the market
    Weathered faces turn to greet ya
    "Hello guvnor, how's your mother?"
    "You alright son, be lucky geeza"
    Double pie and mash and liquor
    A Cuppa Rosie Lee up chap
    Or watch retired gangsters bicker
    Everyday in Arthur's cafe
    The little fuckers causing trouble
    For the cozzers make you smile
    You meet ya muckers for a couple
    Forget your troubles for a while
    From The Thornhill to The Hemmy
    All the faces are the same
    Cause the manor might be changing
    But the people still remain
    North London forever
    Whatever the weather
    These streets are our own
    And my heart will leave you never
    My blood will forever
    Run through the stone
    As I walk these streets alone
    Through a kingdom made of Chrome
    I see them ripping up the cobbles
    And tearing down our childhood homes
    I see the architecture changing
    Watch the history disappear
    And the skyline rearranging
    Into towers of veneer
    But I see the remnants of the London
    That they thought they could erase
    Every time I hear the old school
    Talk about the good old days
    Or every time I watch the football
    Or have a ruby with the lads
    See an hoister selling clobber
    Or a dealer shooting bags
    It's in the single mothers, juggling a baby,
    And a job, in every single brother
    Struggling that wound up on the dock
    It's in the roots and the foundations,
    Still clinging to the land
    It's in the bricks that built the Morland
    And Popham that still stand
    It's in my family and my friends
    In every gram and every Benz
    It's in the roots that we inherit
    When a generation ends
    It's in the ruins of your youth
    And the faces of your past
    Cause the manor might be changing
    But the people always last
    North London forever
    Whatever the weather
    These streets are our own
    And my heart will leave you never
    My blood will forever
    Run through the stone

This has been an incredible season. Others fan may laugh at us but this season is unforgettable, tomorrow is the last match of this journey and might be the last match of Granit Xhaka, what a man, he fought most of his career for Arsenal and when we achieve something (I mean the ticket to Champion league) he has to leave.
    So let's close this chapter with the match tomorrow, I promise the next chapter will be better, brighter. I love you all #COYG
    p/s: I will be back here when we win the league, the champions league... as long as I still alive
