Arsenal are a global club with fans all over the world.

This matchday, we are focusing on the Portland Gooners. Jeff Ferrier is part of the fan group and has let us know how and where they watch Arsenal.

Name of supporters' club: Portland Gooners.

Where is your club from? Portland, Oregon, USA.

How many members are there in your supporters' club? Anywhere from 20-100 or so depending on the match.

What is your favourite meeting place? Beulahland (118 NE 28th Ave, Portland, OR 97232), our home pub!

What is your most memorable Arsenal game? Probably the FA Cup final, last year. Packed two rooms and the atmosphere was crazy.

Who is your favourite player? Everybody seems to be enjoying Aaron Ramsey these days, especially after the season he had last year.

What does your matchday consist of? Everybody at the pub, with pints or breakfast or both, watching in one or two of the sections at Beulah. We get some good singing off and on and lots of discussion about the action on the pitch.

What are your score predictions for the next game? 2-0 to the Arsenal against Galatasaray.

What are your hopes for the rest of the season? Hopefully we can get the injured guys back and healthy and get Alexis, Ozil and Welbeck firing on all cylinders together. That would be a very exciting prospect indeed!
