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!
@@calvinhicks1992 Appreciate the sarcasm. In football we either win or lose and I only care about watching them play now. Accepting that will make your fan life way more chill. Cheers!
I’m a 44 year-old American who grew up in the Missouri Ozarks with next to no knowledge of London. But at 13, I became an Arsenal fan thanks to Dennis Bergkamp. Hearing this song is truly a magical link with all you Gooners across the globe. Louis, you painted all our lives and hopes and sorrows with a beautiful brush no matter where we come from. Thank you.
I'm a South African gunner, I was born into a house where Arsenal was the only way allowed. I've never set a foot in North London. This song hits home because we're all the same. Regular people who bleed RED, the colour of North London lives in all our hearts. COYG
I'm a Man United supporter but I have to admit one thing... This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard performed by football fans. The song itself is absolutely amazing and with thousands voices at the stadium it's even more incredible... Massive thumb up.
Leeds United fan here. Heard the Gunners fans singing this recently pre-match and had to find the song. Absolutely great. Moved me to tears. Well played. 😊 👏
I’m die hard arsenal and I’ve seen fans say about this being the anthem before games and it’s the first time I’ve listened to it and the chorus just gives me the most insane goosebumps thinking of this being belted out before games, imagine it before UCL next year 🤩❤️🤍❤️🤍
NorthLondon forever ...Whatever the weather.. These streets are our own ..And our hearts will leave you never... The arsenal forever.. Will be our home
Iam a lifelong Liverpool fan ..but a musician too ..this is such a beautiful song ..watched the Arsenal v City game and heard the crowd singing this ..gave me goosebumps..had to find out what it was ..
I was there that day. It took a while for the Emirates to take to this song but you can feel we are starting to love it and one day I hope it becomes a fraction of the iconic you’ll never walk alone.
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 ❤🤍
Same, mate. But don't miss waiting for the 253 to Hackney on a freezing January morning. That's what I think about when I get homesick. That was the worst.
Same here, live in Cornwall now, this brings back so many memories, i don't mind admitting the tears did flow, proud to be a gooner, no matter where i am.
3-0 Away at Brighton today, and amazing run of form to start 2024. My favorite moment today was the reaction to Gabriel's stoppage time block to keep the clean sheet. mentality monsters! North London Forevvvvvvvvvvver
Whatever happens on Sunday, I'm proud of the team. They fought hard until the end and that's all we could have asked for. Our time will come again soon ❤.
Played a blinder this season. Worst case, we took Citeh to the final day of the season. Yeah, we faltered in Decemder, and at home to Villa, recently, but they too struggled in games they should have dominated. We took 4 points off them too. COYG!!
Thank you for reminding me of my culture and heritage,from a Essex Boi and as a endangered native to a fellow endangered Cockney like yourself,thank you,best wishes to your family and stay safe out there mate,Much love
Liverpool bottled it , if anyone. Anyway, if you're not a Citeh Fan, who are you to talk. Are you a Middx Trophy Dodger? If so, just jealous, so remember North London is Red!
Being a Chelsea fan this song absolutely slaps such a good song also reminds me of my brother who was a diehard gooner who sadly passed couple years ago
"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" COYG love hearing this as the new Anthem at the Emirates !!!!
great comeback, bitter-sweet feeling at the end, feels like pressure is at man city side, everyone thinks they already won the title. I have a feeling this is going to be 1989 again, when Arsenal had to beat Liverpool at Anfield by 2 goals difference to snatch title from them (even tho we were top of the league for most of the season). Great season whatever happens :)

I think its great that there are still young people who want to pay attention to their local culture, appreciate it and try to revive it when it feels like its slipping away from them.
Islington Gunner, know most if not all of the locations shot in the song. But it doesn’t matter if you’re 5 minutes or 5 hours away; this song makes those who bleed arsenal come together. We’re on our way back to the top, and this absolute tune has helped bring the fans and the club closer together again, so thank you Louis❤
Brilliant sentiments mate for those that can't get to the ground we are supporting the boys and we sing in the ground because you can't but no matter where you are in the world North London forever Iam 67 years of age and I truly believe if we don't win the league this year I will never see it again in my lifetime ❤
We've had a tough season Newcastle but I hope you win a trophy this season. I have a soft spot for Arsenal it was my first team I supported before I supported my beloved Newcastle United@@leehoward1935
North London forever...Whatever the weather... These streets are our own.. And our hearts.. will leave you never The Arsenal forever... Will be our home.
what are you talking about a five year old do a batter job it is crap, and we have a club anthem already it is called, "Good Old Arsenal", you can listen to it by visiting this youtube video ruclips.net/video/QUncUQn7P20/видео.html so why do we need another one. Good Old Arsenal has been a club anthem since 1971 at least. Learn your history FFS
@@warrensteamtalk no need to spam every comment, it's a great tune and the whole stadium was singing it, good old arsenal is still a classic but a four year old could probably write that one.
I am from Colorado in the US but I've always felt a special connection to North London and this club. I know that everyone doesn't accept this song but it does create a togetherness for everyone around the globe. COYG
As a Danish gunner, it was my first time ever at The Emirates yesterday and it was just a speciel, speciel moment for me to be part of the singing of this amazing song before and after the game. Incredible.

I'm 61 years old and my family are from Kentish town. I now live in Queensland Australia and this song has tears streaming down my face. absolutely love it EIE
I’m Kentish Town born and raised, 30years old and currently visiting Australia. Even though I’m back soon, this still makes me emotional and miss home!
My Uncle's last words to me were “be lucky” the day before he died. Even tho we’re from Clapham South London this song represents every borough of London. We all have our own Manor and Memories and Older Generations. I wish my uncle got to hear this song being a lifelong Arsenal fan. London Be Lucky Forever!
I really want Arsenal fans to sing this song every match. I'm from Russia and I get goosebumps from this song, I've been rooting for Arsenal for a long time and I'll sing with you friends through the broadcast. Arsenal is starting a new era, we will succeed. COYG🔴⚪️
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 ❤❤
You are Arsenal mate no matter where you come from up the Gunners you belong to all of us and when we win the league you contributed with your support North London forever ❤
@AnimeDaisuki dz dissapointed but more so at rivals attempting to banter us when we were the only team trying to disprove the myth that the prem is a farmers league.
They played this song before and after the game today vs Leeds. My god we have a new anthem, I couldn't make the lyrics but it was booming around the Emirates. I know them now, ready for the Everton game.
I couldn't care less about the football, I just love watching the video. The people make me smile, the memories of times gone by and the authentic London snap shots. Thanks for sharing, Louis.
I have never lived in London. Never set foot in the city. I have only watched and supported Arsenal on television in India. Then why do I have tears of joy and pride running down my face when I hear this song here and being sung by a million voices in the stadium? - North London Forever - Come on you Gooners - Merci Arsene - Thank you Arteta!
Because you are Arsenal mate I wish one day you get to the Emirates I loved Highbury but this new generation of players and supporters are making things happen North London forever and you belong with us mate❤
Youre not alone bro, same happened with me, supporting all alone here in india from 2007, i am feeling so special connected to this club and people i never seen , love you ARSENAL, COYG❤
in my 23 years never stepped foot in London but still sing the chorus with all my heart. One day I will watch the lads at the emirates and sing this with the rest of my Gooners in the stands. COYG
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. Arsenal has never been so united since we we're in Highbury Edit: 23/24 We go again!
@@johnnysmith80 you're joking right!?!?! I'm beyond ashamed of that lot! They've never once done a positive thing for this club. The only thing they did was profit off our worst years by making us an absolute laughing stock!
@@DontMentionMyName11 have you even been on their channel do you even know how many fundraisers and charity event they have streamed. Even when representatives from Chelsea Tottenham Man Utd Leicester Man City join. Do you know how many worldwide fan join and are connected!???
If there's no Arsenal Game, I watch Liverpool. Never ever argued with a Liverpool fan. Every game is fair and pleasant to watch. Arsenal and Liverpool and the only two teams that have massive respect for each other in the Premier League.
Wow. Average people just cant understand, rival fans cant understand what it means to be an Arsenal fan. Its a love story, its a lifestyle. Thank u Arsenal for this love, for this chance to feel part of this big family. I love arsenal so so much Love u my gunner family from Armenia 🇦🇲😊
My mind and body may be in New Jersey but my heart has been in North London for over 3 decades now. I sing this song loud and proud every Gunners game day from almost 4,000 miles away.
This was the first song I learned on my guitar. I’m Scottish and live in Livingston and I’m only 11 and yet I feel like I get every thing he is saying. I might not be able to relate to it and this song is the best song I’ve ever heard. My dad cried when he heard me play it and I love this isn’t song so much. Louis you are an absolute legend.
Come back to this song when we officially lost it in 22-23. All I have to say is the player really tried there best. More than any fan, the are the people who want it the most. 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
My loving dad a lifelong Gooner passed away just away just before this song was released. Would loved to have been able to play this at his funeral as a fitting send off. Every time I hear this my eyes well up at his memory.
As a West Ham fan, I think this is bloody decent...well done Louis...I grew up only a few miles away in East London and the memories are very similar just with those subtle differences. Glad you got it played pre-game and I hope it becomes part of the gameday furniture at the Emirates...I might not be North London but I can appreciate a London lad doing well...
Mate, the verses might be a bit wordy, but what they contain hits right into the heart. I think when the people learn the lyrics, the whole song will be an anthem for THE ARSENAL for years to come.
We're gonna sing it lads on the 28th of May in the Emirates with the premium league trophy and Louis himself will lead the orchestra in the Emirates. I applied for the visa from now and hopefully will get it and fly to London to celebrate with every gooner out there in north London. North London Forever #COYG
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!
@@fredadams6239 at least Arsenal has always been in London. Wasn't Tottenham in Middlesex until the 60s? Probably shouldn't go on about South London when you weren't London until the government said you were. Hahaha.
I am an Indian Arsenal fan who has never visited North London, but every-time I hear this song my chest gets heavy and I can feel i am close to getting a breakdown. #AFC
This song always brings a few tears to my eyes. I’ve lived in north London my whole life (39 years come May) and will love the place till the day I die.
North London forever ♾️, because of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira,Arsene Wenger I became a Gunner for life when I was 9 yrs old and to see us now on the cusp of winning the league and in the champions League quarters is a great sight to behold. Trust the process, trust Arteta,Edu and the board but above all TRUST THE GUNNERS OF NORTH LONDON ❤❤❤❤. All the way from South Africa🇿🇦 to the world 🌎🌍
Born in Hanley Road Hospital in Stroud Green, Arsenal and North London in my DNA. Live in Devon now but seeing those London faces and hearing those accents took me back…pretty emotional. Mate you’ve given Arsenal its soul back.
When you wrote this, you wouldn't have known it would be a soundtrack to unite a disfranchised fan base. This was never a song but an anthem for a club i will love forever.
Only been to north London a few times as an American, and it's been about 20 years. Haven't been to Ashburton Grove for a game, just Highbury. Regardless, this song damn near makes me tear up as an Arsenal fan. Love this club and all my fellow Gooners. Class, tradition, history. Oil money can't buy them, and Arsenal epitomizes all 3.
Nice 1 Bruvva, Glad you got with our little Anthem . Its where we all come from , and its part our heritage, thank you for stickin with me on this one . UP The Arsenal 😮
@@johnhanks4521 can 100% get on board with that, much prefer that to the bollock Liverpool rant about. Have a good season and I hope you topple them wankers in blue from manchester. North London forever 👍👍
I don't have the words to express how much I love this song. I'm a Gooner from across the pond. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and there's so many parts of the lyrics with which I identify. The last time I was at The Emirates for a game, this song had not been recorded. Can't wait until I get back to London and sing this incredible tribute to North London with my fellow supporters of THE ARSENAL. Come on, you Gunners and well done @louis_dunford!!
I've no affiliation with London or North London (from Dublin)... But this song always gives my goosebumps... I'm delighted Arsenal play it before their games.. The crowd should be belting it out.. Proper Anthem
The best thing about this song is this: it best describes what it means to be an Arsenal fan because it’s not just about a football club but about an area, Community and about an escapism from the everyday that my daddy installed in me. The worst part for me is that my father passed away before he ever heard it. I love you dad, Arsenal FC and louis for everything.
I'm a Portuguese Gunner. Been one since I was little. For quite some time my dream was to live in London and I did. For 3 extraordinary years I lived in North London, near the Chapel Market. Watching this video, hearing his words makes me emotional. The nostalgia of those times hits hard with this song. Thank you for making me feel like a Londoner again ❤
i found this song like a couple minutes ago, but i just cant stop to listen to it. dunno how many times i have played this song. no matter how far we go this seassons, im still a gooners. cheers from indonesia

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
Love it 😀 😍 ❤️

Irishman here, Arsenal supporter with strong London connections. Song gives me goosebumps every single time ❤️⚪️
As a Gunner, I have never felt more proud than ever. Hope this can be sung at The Emirates every game
What a time to be an Arsenal fan. COYG!!!!
Aaaaand you bottled the league
I think its great that there are still young people who want to pay attention to their local culture, appreciate it and try to revive it when it feels like its slipping away from them.
North London forever
From Chapman to Wenger
It's been our home
And my heart will leave you never
We'll always remember
That Highbury stone
uncle herbert
Islington Gunner, know most if not all of the locations shot in the song. But it doesn’t matter if you’re 5 minutes or 5 hours away; this song makes those who bleed arsenal come together. We’re on our way back to the top, and this absolute tune has helped bring the fans and the club closer together again, so thank you Louis❤
Brilliant sentiments mate for those that can't get to the ground we are supporting the boys and we sing in the ground because you can't but no matter where you are in the world North London forever Iam 67 years of age and I truly believe if we don't win the league this year I will never see it again in my lifetime ❤
I am a Newcastle United fan but I love this song. I am going to hear this when we play you on Saturday. It is a great song.
As a geordie aswel a love this song al of his are canny. But big river or Blaydon races can't be out done.
Thanks.😁
It's the same we beat you that game though
We've had a tough season Newcastle but I hope you win a trophy this season. I have a soft spot for Arsenal it was my first team I supported before I supported my beloved Newcastle United@@leehoward1935
Getting goosebumps listening to this in India as an Arsenal fan! Need the chorus as an anthem at the Emirates! COYG ♥️
North London forever...Whatever the weather... These streets are our own.. And our hearts.. will leave you never The Arsenal forever... Will be our home.
Wherever you are, if you’re Arsenal you’re always welcome
Wah kya scene hai
what are you talking about a five year old do a batter job it is crap, and we have a club anthem already it is called, "Good Old Arsenal", you can listen to it by visiting this youtube video ruclips.net/video/QUncUQn7P20/видео.html so why do we need another one. Good Old Arsenal has been a club anthem since 1971 at least. Learn your history FFS
@@warrensteamtalk no need to spam every comment, it's a great tune and the whole stadium was singing it, good old arsenal is still a classic but a four year old could probably write that one.
If London had a soul, Louis Dunford is it's voice.
Please check out more of his music he is honest to God poet of the people.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. Be lucky x
Can't get more London than this lad, fucking AMAZING!!
if thats the case his soul must have been taken by the devil
@@warrensteamtalk Or, yours might get expired tomorrow you absolute helmet.
North Londons poet ❤
I am from Colorado in the US but I've always felt a special connection to North London and this club. I know that everyone doesn't accept this song but it does create a togetherness for everyone around the globe. COYG
Hippo..we Gooners accept you as a Arsenal FAN you are inducted into the ArsenalFamily

As a Danish gunner, it was my first time ever at The Emirates yesterday and it was just a speciel, speciel moment for me to be part of the singing of this amazing song before and after the game. Incredible.
Hope to see you back at the Emirates soon! COYG!
skulle have været inde og se everton kampen men så blev den udskudt
I may have been sitting near you ! Was it the Leeds game in 21/22 season
How do you buy tickets?
Typical Arsenal Fan
Yesterday's match against United pretty much sealed this song as our Anthem. Never seen the crowd so energized and singing this so hard.
Playing this on repeat after we finally beat City.
Let's go!
The chorus needs to be blasted from the stands at the arsenal it’s perfect! 🔴⚪️

@@warrensteamtalk That song stinks
@@pekoe1878 yes then I will cut it and give it to you to smoke as you are obviously on drugs mate because if you want to support that shit you must be
@@antidotek7078 if you are talking about this Arteta love fest song you are 100% spot on
I'm 61 years old and my family are from Kentish town. I now live in Queensland Australia and this song has tears streaming down my face. absolutely love it EIE
Up the Gunners, EIE!
EIE
I’m Kentish Town born and raised, 30years old and currently visiting Australia. Even though I’m back soon, this still makes me emotional and miss home!
You must know the clarks?
My Uncle's last words to me were “be lucky” the day before he died. Even tho we’re from Clapham South London this song represents every borough of London. We all have our own Manor and Memories and Older Generations. I wish my uncle got to hear this song being a lifelong Arsenal fan. London Be Lucky Forever!
I really want Arsenal fans to sing this song every match. I'm from Russia and I get goosebumps from this song, I've been rooting for Arsenal for a long time and I'll sing with you friends through the broadcast. Arsenal is starting a new era, we will succeed. COYG🔴⚪️
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 ❤❤
You are Arsenal mate no matter where you come from up the Gunners you belong to all of us and when we win the league you contributed with your support North London forever ❤
You aint winning shit
You are welcome in N1 SP 👍
Hey Spandan, where did you get tickets from?
@@davidkeith9015 you didn’t win the league and you won’t be anytime soon . Clowns
Respect to a great song that shouts out real Londoners and the culture they created.. not the lot running round now having knife fights...
Listening to this after we win against Tottenham really makes this song even more special ❤
It so is 😭 I love this club so much and I know this year is special
@@TheMothdemon Honestly didn't expect us to do this brilliantly this far into the season but i love the team we've built
as a united fan, respect, nice anthem brothers.
@@sammyhayes883 What about now Sammy. We will do it. The emptihad is the last bastion we need to break down.
@AnimeDaisuki dz dissapointed but more so at rivals attempting to banter us when we were the only team trying to disprove the myth that the prem is a farmers league.
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
TODAY IS THE DAY COYG!
They played this song before and after the game today vs Leeds. My god we have a new anthem, I couldn't make the lyrics but it was booming around the Emirates. I know them now, ready for the Everton game.
North London forever,
Whatever the weather,
These streets are our own,
And my heart,
Will leave you never,
The Arsenal forever,
Will be our home
Nice chant
I couldn't care less about the football, I just love watching the video. The people make me smile, the memories of times gone by and the authentic London snap shots. Thanks for sharing, Louis.
I have never lived in London. Never set foot in the city. I have only watched and supported Arsenal on television in India. Then why do I have tears of joy and pride running down my face when I hear this song here and being sung by a million voices in the stadium?
- North London Forever
- Come on you Gooners
- Merci Arsene
- Thank you Arteta!
Because you are Arsenal mate I wish one day you get to the Emirates I loved Highbury but this new generation of players and supporters are making things happen North London forever and you belong with us mate❤
Because you are a gunner❤️ COYG!!!!
Youre not alone bro, same happened with me, supporting all alone here in india from 2007, i am feeling so special connected to this club and people i never seen , love you ARSENAL, COYG❤
I m too bro. Same here
Absolutely beautiful. Islington and Arsenal forever 🔴⚪️❤️
Arsenal& highbury for ever
Coyg ❤🤍
Born in 1994, I started supporting in 2000-2001, 23 years have gone by, feels like yesterday. COYG.
in my 23 years never stepped foot in London but still sing the chorus with all my heart. One day I will watch the lads at the emirates and sing this with the rest of my Gooners in the stands. COYG
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.
Arsenal has never been so united since we we're in Highbury
Edit: 23/24
We go again!
That would be a lovely sight.
AFTV bridge that cap. They have captured worldwide supporters. It still a good song.
@@johnnysmith80 you're joking right!?!?!
I'm beyond ashamed of that lot! They've never once done a positive thing for this club. The only thing they did was profit off our worst years by making us an absolute laughing stock!
@@DontMentionMyName11 what and other clubs fans don’t complain when they lose. Look at manutd Chelsea rants etc then come back and understand
@@DontMentionMyName11 have you even been on their channel do you even know how many fundraisers and charity event they have streamed. Even when representatives from Chelsea Tottenham Man Utd Leicester Man City join. Do you know how many worldwide fan join and are connected!???
As a Liverpool fan I must say I love this song. Arsenal and Liverpool will always be friends in my eyes.
Shut up lad Chelsea are not your friend
100%, feel the exact same as a gooner
I'm an Arsenal fan and I agree. There's allot of respect between the 2 clubs
If there's no Arsenal Game, I watch Liverpool. Never ever argued with a Liverpool fan. Every game is fair and pleasant to watch. Arsenal and Liverpool and the only two teams that have massive respect for each other in the Premier League.
Agreed! Liverpool (me) and Gooners should never beef
Wow. Average people just cant understand, rival fans cant understand what it means to be an Arsenal fan. Its a love story, its a lifestyle. Thank u Arsenal for this love, for this chance to feel part of this big family.
I love arsenal so so much
Love u my gunner family from Armenia 🇦🇲😊
That chorus had me or up teary 🥺🥺...super fan of The Arsenal from Kenya 🇰🇪... let's make it our anthem...COYG🔴❤️
NORTH LONDON FOREVER RED 🔴
My mind and body may be in New Jersey but my heart has been in North London for over 3 decades now. I sing this song loud and proud every Gunners game day from almost 4,000 miles away.
North london is never far away, one day I’ll be there ❤
This was the first song I learned on my guitar. I’m Scottish and live in Livingston and I’m only 11 and yet I feel like I get every thing he is saying. I might not be able to relate to it and this song is the best song I’ve ever heard. My dad cried when he heard me play it and I love this isn’t song so much. Louis you are an absolute legend.
Come back to this song when we officially lost it in 22-23. All I have to say is the player really tried there best. More than any fan, the are the people who want it the most. 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
My loving dad a lifelong Gooner passed away just away just before this song was released. Would loved to have been able to play this at his funeral as a fitting send off. Every time I hear this my eyes well up at his memory.
Sorry for your loss x
Your life must be sad if yous capping about deaths of loved ones
As a West Ham fan, I think this is bloody decent...well done Louis...I grew up only a few miles away in East London and the memories are very similar just with those subtle differences. Glad you got it played pre-game and I hope it becomes part of the gameday furniture at the Emirates...I might not be North London but I can appreciate a London lad doing well...
Community Shield 2023🎉🎉🎉
When we win the Champions League, I want everyone everywhere to sing this. No matter where you are, please. For our grand old club......
‘When’ 😂 think you mean if a miracle happens
@@Pokjhbvcf piss off
@@Pokjhbvcf if you talk that way about us why are you listening to the song
@@Pokjhbvcfyou know who makes miracles jesus aka the arsenal number 9
@@sevenlegion12 what, the lad who never won it at city, then left and they won it first try?
Mate, the verses might be a bit wordy, but what they contain hits right into the heart. I think when the people learn the lyrics, the whole song will be an anthem for THE ARSENAL for years to come.
Jijookjuhihjhihihi
We're gonna sing it lads on the 28th of May in the Emirates with the premium league trophy and Louis himself will lead the orchestra in the Emirates.
I applied for the visa from now and hopefully will get it and fly to London to celebrate with every gooner out there in north London.
North London Forever #COYG
Arsenal till death brother!!!!!!
COYFuckingG
Ahhhhh.... I wish... Love ur words btw.. Cheers for that!!
🙌🔥 north London forever
As an Arsenal fan, this song will surely go down as our most iconic anthem
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!
We ain’t done it but with the power of people like you and gooners we will read a bedtime story to them soon 👍😂
😬⚪️🔵⚪️
That went well 3-0 and your probably not aware it has nothing to do with the arse, they are from woolwich (south LONDON)
How’d that go for ya u mug
@@fredadams6239 at least Arsenal has always been in London. Wasn't Tottenham in Middlesex until the 60s? Probably shouldn't go on about South London when you weren't London until the government said you were. Hahaha.
Who is here after 3-2 win against Spurs?
Just coming down from the Valium
Me now I can breath again, that was a tense last 20 minutes
Here
Me
If you're not from North London find yourself another team. The song is called North London forever not Nigeria forever
I am an Indian Arsenal fan who has never visited North London, but every-time I hear this song my chest gets heavy and I can feel i am close to getting a breakdown. #AFC
This song always brings a few tears to my eyes. I’ve lived in north London my whole life (39 years come May) and will love the place till the day I die.
I'm a Liverpool fan bit this song gives me gossebumbs
Me to
If Arsenal win the league this year this song in 30 years time will be as iconic as you'll never walk alone
❤️
I agree and love this tune. Listen to it most days. Arsenal and North London forever. Come on Arsenal
hahahahahahaha behave mate
No way 😭😭😭
Great tune , but don’t be daft 😂.
North London forever ♾️, because of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira,Arsene Wenger I became a Gunner for life when I was 9 yrs old and to see us now on the cusp of winning the league and in the champions League quarters is a great sight to behold. Trust the process, trust Arteta,Edu and the board but above all TRUST THE GUNNERS OF NORTH LONDON ❤❤❤❤. All the way from South Africa🇿🇦 to the world 🌎🌍
Born in Hanley Road Hospital in Stroud Green, Arsenal and North London in my DNA. Live in Devon now but seeing those London faces and hearing those accents took me back…pretty emotional. Mate you’ve given Arsenal its soul back.
Louis, you are about to hit big time fame with the Emirates crowd blaring this now!
Gem of a song
When you wrote this, you wouldn't have known it would be a soundtrack to unite a disfranchised fan base. This was never a song but an anthem for a club i will love forever.
Listening to this song again after taking 3 pts against Tottenham... It sure feels sweet... Even all the way over here in the States...COYG
Only been to north London a few times as an American, and it's been about 20 years. Haven't been to Ashburton Grove for a game, just Highbury. Regardless, this song damn near makes me tear up as an Arsenal fan. Love this club and all my fellow Gooners. Class, tradition, history. Oil money can't buy them, and Arsenal epitomizes all 3.
Im a massive manchester united fan, but i tell you what.... This song is brilliant. Absoulte credit to you.
Nice 1 Bruvva, Glad you got with our little Anthem . Its where we all come from , and its part our heritage, thank you for stickin with me on this one . UP The Arsenal 😮
@@johnhanks4521 can 100% get on board with that, much prefer that to the bollock Liverpool rant about. Have a good season and I hope you topple them wankers in blue from manchester. North London forever 👍👍
@@patrickmccafferty9787😂🩵⚽️🥇🏆🏆🏆
I don't have the words to express how much I love this song. I'm a Gooner from across the pond. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and there's so many parts of the lyrics with which I identify. The last time I was at The Emirates for a game, this song had not been recorded. Can't wait until I get back to London and sing this incredible tribute to North London with my fellow supporters of THE ARSENAL. Come on, you Gunners and well done @louis_dunford!!
I've no affiliation with London or North London (from Dublin)... But this song always gives my goosebumps... I'm delighted Arsenal play it before their games.. The crowd should be belting it out.. Proper Anthem
Amazing..... London is red 🔴
We love you Arsenal! No doubt the best club in the world! Love you all! Thank you Louis for this beautiful song!
Gunners from Kazakhstan.
This club is going places and everyone can sense it.
The best thing about this song is this: it best describes what it means to be an Arsenal fan because it’s not just about a football club but about an area, Community and about an escapism from the everyday that my daddy installed in me. The worst part for me is that my father passed away before he ever heard it. I love you dad, Arsenal FC and louis for everything.
I'm a Portuguese Gunner. Been one since I was little. For quite some time my dream was to live in London and I did. For 3 extraordinary years I lived in North London, near the Chapel Market. Watching this video, hearing his words makes me emotional. The nostalgia of those times hits hard with this song. Thank you for making me feel like a Londoner again ❤
i found this song like a couple minutes ago, but i just cant stop to listen to it. dunno how many times i have played this song.
no matter how far we go this seassons, im still a gooners.
cheers from indonesia
i heard this song at the emirates and got goosebumps, the fans singing it was amazing
