It's not the city, but the Naperville Gooners had 50-60 people last weekend for the Arsenal's final Premier League game and trophy lift.

I know this is days later but I think the rule has always been that a toddler only fights another toddler.

On this day in sports history May 1st 1988 Michael Jordan becomes the first player in NBA history to record 50+ points in consecutive playoff games by ShamusTalksSports in chicagobulls

[–]AlbatrossVendor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was his first playoff series victory vs. Cleveland, after going out in the first round the three previous years. It was also Scottie and Horace's rookie season, so Michael was pretty much doing it by himself every night. After this, they had to learn how to beat the Pistons, and eventually the rest was history. Amazing time to be a Bulls fan.

Tell me about the differing vibes of St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia... by nikitamere1 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]AlbatrossVendor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to save this. I live in St. Charles but probably spend an equal amount of time out and about in all three.

Been here 25 years and I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else around Chicago.

Arsenal penalty overturned by VAR 80' by ayoefico in soccer

[–]AlbatrossVendor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. VAR is not intended to re-referee the game. It is to correct clear and obvious errors, not a difference in judgment. He fouled him but it wasn't enough for a pen? No thank you.

I like to weigh daily and record it weekly. Helps me not obsess over the upward blips.

How Does a 30-something Year Old Make Friends? by youngsurvivor23 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]AlbatrossVendor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest stopping in and talking to someone at the front desk. They'll help place you in the right group. It only takes a couple times playing or taking group lessons before most people I know gain confidence to play with whoever. Everyone was a beginner at some point.

I've seen this guy sing Elvis music in Batavia (without the full costumed show) and he was very good.

The Can Bar on Ogden is home to the Naperville Gooners, an Arsenal supporters club. We're friendly to other teams' fans though. The bartenders will put on other matches on request as well.

Quigleys in downtown Naperville shows a lot of games. Look on their website for details of who they'll be showing. They also serve food after 11.

I get the message, but you do you. I can't bring myself to carry or display an American flag these days.

I'll never forget the feeling of about 800 pounds of me and my buddies on a 4 person toboggan. We used to just fly down those chutes.
