Based in New Orleans, the NOLA Gooners watch games at the famous Finn McCool’s pub on Banks Street. The book has been written about this legendary soccer bar in New Orleans, literally.

The Arsenal supporters group in New Orleans was formed in 2013 and they even host their special annual event called Gooner Gras which attracts worldwide attention.

“We just started Gooner Gras on a whim,” Ally Dever told MLS Soccer. Ally runs the Arsenal group along with her partner of 21 years (and wife since 2014), Jill Spragio, who met on a blind date and are the self-described “aunts” of the Krewe of Arsenal.

Sooner Gooners

It rhymes nicely, but what does it mean?
Oklahoma is known as the Sooner State. Sooners was a nickname for settlers who arrived on the plains a bit sooner than they were supposed to. The Government hadn’t quite finished rounding up the natives and sticking them in reservations, but the Sooners sneaked in early so they’d have the pick of the best land. Cheats is a better word for them, but that doesn’t rhyme with Gooners and certainly doesn’t apply to this club. Head to Skinny Slim’s British pub in downtown Oklahoma City to meet up with the Sooner Gooners.

PDX Gooners

Portland is known as Soccer City USA. The emergence of the Portland Timbers MLS team has helped with that. The PDX Gooners are the Arsenal group covering Portland and the North West State of Oregon. They have the advantage of having their home base at Beulahland Coffee and Alehouse where the owner Jimmi Langen is an Arsenal fan so Gooners are especially well catered for. All games are shown live but it helps to check first for the early ones.
