There is FURY on the website messageboards…
‘WONDER OF YOU R U AVIN A LAUGH!’
I really have to say that the thought of that song entering the musical lexicon again really fills me with sadness.
Where has that idea come from?
Wasn’t it Ivan Gazidis that brought that song back?
It’s awful. Utter shite. Doesn’t get anyone excited. I swear, every time it came on, people bitched and moaned about its existence. The song reminds me of Denilson falling on his face, not something I want to be reminded of.
I grew up with ENTERTAIN YOU by the magnificent Robbie Williams. Great build, electric, sung by one of the great pop ROCK stars of my childhood. I genuinely lost my mind listening to that song before it came on at Highbury.
I was a kid so don’t judge the taste levels… actually, fuck it, you can’t be too cool for this song, it’s a great track. I won’t have anyone deny me. You can still like Beach House and appreciate Robbie.
Another classic Arsenal tune we could revisit is Fatboy Slim, Right Here, Right Now. I still get Arsenal chills when I hear that song, a bit edgier, everyone knows it, there’s even a hint of Ian Wright in it.
Wonder of You? I don’t care about its history. I don’t care that it’s a classic. I don’t care that your grandad knocked up your grandma to it. It’s a shite song and has absolutely no place at the club.
We could roll with something a little more contemporary? Foals – Providence is a great track.
I know Kasabian are Leicester fans, but come on, Underdog? SYMBOLIC.
You know you’d be pissing in your plastic cup and lobbing it at Steve Bruce if this came on… because that is how we enjoy gigs in London. I told American’s that what happens and they refused to believe me.
Which tune would YOU want to hear?
Mesut Ozil rumours reached the Washington Post… I was quite excited to hear what they had on offer, sadly, all pointers indicate to a deal being for next summer. Probably better for our squad if I’m honest. I’m not sure we can lose too many more players without taking on massive risk to our experience balance. Still, at least they’re making moves for next year.
Chelsea lost in the Super Cup on penalties, but again looked far better than the result suggested. Frank Lampard has had a tough start, he’s going to have to hope he has strong motivational skills otherwise he’s going to have problems this season. Jury still out, but Kante is an absolute powerhouse, he’ll always be worth 10 points a season.
I was having a debate with some grown adults trying to convince me that mobile phones in grounds when the games are going on is acceptable. ‘It’s a Generational thing’ apparently like mobile communications devices started last year.
Can’t have it.
They’re a blight on gigs, the cinema, stand-up shows, dinner dates, funerals, after-sex-chat, and it’s simply bad manners. You’d be lying to yourself if you think it’s just the young, if anything, this behaviour is just as prevalent in older folk. Tommy Robinson can’t even go to court without filming himself and he’s 36.
Here is Donald Glover, one of the hottest contemporary artists on the planet (I know some of you needed that), making a great point.
“I think telling people to put their phones away really forces a person to be present.”
Amen Donald, spoken like a true pro. We could all do with a little less phone time in our lives because it’s a sad indictment of humans when there’s a market for addressing the problem.
I like the generation that the ASHBURTON ARMY (@ArsenalChants) is from, the average age there is probably sub 23. Their Twitter page is starting a fan movement to make loads of noise at the home games. They look like they have a lot of fun, they make up great songs, and they’re getting a fucking drum.
Unreal.
Finally, new Lacazette song.
This Alexandre Lacazette song is incredible 🔥 pic.twitter.com/vJnJRumE8Q

Until our Clown leaves his post and what with his farcical Five Captains Policy.
Only one song should be played on the tannoy for home fixtures.
The Benny Hill Theme Tune.
“THE TROLOLO SONG”
By Eduard Khil will knock em dead.
This should be the Arsenal celebration song. _:)
AHHHHHHHHHH YA YA YAAAAAH.
PLEASE SOMEONE POST THE LINK.
So easy to sing to and to drop in the word Arsenal.
Will drive the opposition mad.

Tony “Pierre will lose his agendas and support Emery to the full” Like you do ? The know nothing’s on here think that it’s a personal thing regarding Emery and that some of us won’t support any new manager out of respect for Wenger….of course that is rubbish. The full support for the manager will come when he deserves our full support. Emery is not a bad manager , he’s hard working, enthusiastic and keen to impress but he is never going to be elite level is he. This season he has a golden opportunity to prove to his doubters… Read more »

I remember the lead of the band tossing
his stick in the air(sounds well)and completely
loosing it in air the crowd went mad.
Aways a big noise and apprehension every time
he was about to do his stuff.
Hilarious great days.
“this behaviour is just as prevalent in older folk. Tommy Robinson can’t even go to court without filming himself and he’s 36.”!!!!!!!!
Two things – since when was 36 old??? and, any mention of Tommy Robinson is just horrible!
BTW, I’m 53, and love what the @arsenalchants lads are doing. more power to them. Good to see the club supporting their efforts too.
“Emery is not a bad manager , he’s hard working, enthusiastic and keen to impress but he is never going to be elite level is he.” Pierre you write like you are talking about some Rookie manager sorry to say, Emery isn’t “enthusiastic” nor “keen to impress” anyone. Emery is 47 and has been managing and coaching since he was 32 ( that was probably when he was enthusiastic and keen to impress). Now he just has a job to do, if he does it well good on him, he fails he moves on to another job, trust me he… Read more »
“It does concern me that our manager has little or no input to signings as he does appear to like a certain style of player .For instance, would he have preferred to have kept iwobi over mkhitaryan and Ozil….probably.Is Ceballos and Pepe his type of player . Will Ceballos turn out to be another Denis Suarez and be surplus to requirements. Is Pepe defensively switched on enough to play wide in Emerys preferred 4-2-3-1 system.” Sorry this are not legitimate concerns And your Denis Suarez point still sounds petty. Suarez had the right profile to help us last season but… Read more »

The Lacazette song is really good. Top stuff! I’d like to mention just how fkin good it made me feel seeing Raul and Edu watching our game vs Newcastle side by side. It really looks like those two will work really close and have a similar vision about our club. This partnership could prove to be the catalyst for the beginning of a special chapter in our club’s history. Genuinely happy that we chose this path instead of taking the easy option of giving Diamond Eye more control. It feels like Sven wanted our club to follow his vision, while… Read more »
Yes Words
The problem with Emery seems mostly down to his lack of “sauce”.
I doubt he has issues motivating players, he achieved quite a lot in his early coaching days which he would not have if he lacked motivational skills. I think as his coaching career went on he became a bit of a tinkerman, worrying too much about the opponents than the strengths of his own teams.
The Barcelona game for instance, if he had played to the strengths of his PSG team rather than worrying about Barca at Camp Nou they would have sailed through

I Totally agree we should have an Anthem song, Like You’ll never walk alone, Bubbles & Blue Moon. But most of the good ones like those you mention above guys, have words that not many people know , so hardly anyone will sing them, & a lot of the great songs, Like simply the best &, a lot of the Queen songs &many other good ones, have long intros ‘s The chorus’s are great but the long intro’s with words that no one know in them kill the song .

Arsenal to receive just 10% of the Adelaide deal to Lyon
said to be 25 million Euro’s.
A piss poor result for Arsenal
When we are stuck with dross on such high wages

kept for longer in other circumstances.?

Evening standard has the clause at 20% making it £5m we got, don’t know which one is true but hopefully the higher number, 10% sell on seems a bit low.
if we can get 20-25m for Mustafi and Elneny in the next couple of weeks we’ve done much better than I expected in sales, mostly due to Iwobi. Would be 85-90m in sales then.
Won’t have to go tire kicking, hat in hand if we need strengthening in January.

“He is a tactically astute manager ”
A “tactically astute manager ” who was unable to improve our defence , midfield or attack compared to our previous manager who , by all accounts , was “tactically inept ”
Doesn’t quite add up for it , or are you now saying that Wenger was also tactically astute
RH
“Suarez had the right profile to help us last season ”
You don’t really believe that do you, we needed defenders and we got another CAM type player when we had Ramsey,Mhkitaryan, iwobi and Ozil who were more than capable and possibly better footballers.
Another day, another love letter from Pierre to Wenger. Is there anything more pitiful than unrequited love?
Poor lad.
I’m reading and replying on a smartphone. The goddam irony.
A song for The Arsenal: I wanna be sedated by the Ramones.

“You don’t really believe that do you, we needed defenders and we got another CAM type player when we had Ramsey,Mhkitaryan, iwobi and Ozil who were more than capable and possibly better footballers.”
I never discussed needs with you, i said he had attributes to help us. Man United at home he came on and kept the ball up the field in areas where United did not want it at the time. LOL at Iwobi being a better footballer by the way
You can’t argue with Pierre over the Jan transfer window. He’s the man that thinks Chelsea would have given us Cahill haha.
That says it all really.
Pierre: “A “tactically astute manager ” who was unable to improve our defence , midfield or attack compared to our previous manager who , by all accounts , was “tactically inept ”” Under your guru and god we were out of the top 4 fight in the first week of March, round 29 when we were 13 points behind 4th placed team. Last year we took it to the last game and we were in pole position to secure top 4 weeks before that. In the end still finished with 7 points more than in the previous year with your… Read more »
Pedro I think that it is highly unlikely that Ozil will leave this month or in January. First because we would be short as you suggest of experience and numbers in our squad. Second if he does leave I think that it is highly unlikely that we will receive a transfer fee in view of his wages. DC are certainly not able or willing to pay us a transfer fee. Finally I think that in view of what has happened in the last couple of weeks both player and club will be reluctant to be seen to capitulate to the… Read more »

Xhaka a doubt for Saturday with a bruised leg. If he doesn’t start, likely Emery goes with a Torreira/Guendouzi pairing.
Ok
Last season was an improvement in all areas of our game.
The football was a joy to watch.
Our defence has never looked so solid .
Our attacking link up play was better than anything witnessed in the last 20 years.
Oh..and Suarez was exactly what we needed in the January window
And let’s not forget that Emerys tactics, formations ,team selection and man management was spot on .
They had ACDC Thuderstruck at the Emirates Cup, that would be a good one and hopefully would fit in with a front line of Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Nice to see Luiz massively talking up Martinelli.

There is no doubt that folk like Pierre have changed their tune… but if they are correct, can’t you just forget the past?

This comment made just yesterday hasn’t aged well. Less than 24 hrs later, Pierre wakes up in his Wenger bed sheets ready to bat for his master. Same tune, different day.

Great potential for crowd participation at the beginning of it as well, especially if this supporter group is bringing in a drum.
Could be the Wenger and Gazdis era you were dumbstruck, now you will be thunderstruck.
JB
I just don’t see our resident or huge overseas visiting
day pass crowd warming to that one.
However I like it.
Liverpool’s defense looked anything but assured against Norwich and looked even more at sea against Chelsea
They were outstanding defensively last season so a drop was to be expected i guess
CA –
I’m in, wigs and all.
“Could be the Wenger and Gazdis era you were dumbstruck, now you will be thunderstruck.”
I like it. And if you’re still pining for Wenger, I would suggest that makes you a dumbfuck.
ES: “Saliba will be arriving at club so the likelihood of buying another CB is less likely. I see Messrs Luiz, Sokratis, Chambers and Holding staying at club. So the only likely changes will be in midfield with the club needing replacements for Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Ceballos if he returns to Real Madrid.” I think that one of Luiz and papa Sok will be sold next summer, probably papa Sok. Chambers also doesn’t feel like a long term solution and will have to seriously impress everyone to be considered good enough. Cause for him to stay he HAS to prove… Read more »

We should count the number of times you indulge your unhealthy obsession on the daily and mention Wenger. He isn’t coming back, kid. Dry those tears.
Weird how he still can’t find a management job.

Great track by 2Chellos

Awesome cover! Love those rednecks. Slick accordion riff halfway through!
£5 Million from any potential Adelaide move.
Very nice.
That will be about £11 Million from sell on clauses alone this summer.
Steve n Seagulls’ Thunderstruck gets my vote.
Genius – prefer it to the original!
Purple Rain by Prince?
….although it has to be said that those redneck Finns ain’t very North London
For me we should be using a version of London Calling by the Clash.
Showing my age!!
Was gonna suggest Prince’s 1999, but then remembered we only came second that season…..

No way – just because something’s a great song doesn’t mean it’s right for the build up. Ideally you need something that’s starts powerfully but still builds towards a crescendo. It also needs to have a pretty decent tempo.
“Pierre is a spotty teenager with lots of angst”
Someone else who gets it. Good work!
As well as Thunderstruck I also think Dire Straits Money for Nothing is a great one.
Also the title sums up Wenger’s last decade.
Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train
Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song.
Although the millennials will be offended.
Marc
Got it – thanks 🙂
Jamie
I’ve never doubted that Pierre is or at least was an Arsenal fan. Problem is at some point he lost the ability to differentiate between supporting the club and Wenger to the point that Wenger became bigger / more important than the club.
That’s why he’s struggled to move on and has a compulsive need to attack those that removed / superseded Wenger. The fact that he’ll go after people doing roles that Wenger should never have been involved with shows the depth of his conversion – it’s almost on the level of a religious zealot.
Purple Rain is one of the greatest tracks ever written. Period.
Unsuitable for Arsenal.
Shoot that poison arrow. ABC.
Tony
Of course just my personal thoughts!
You say wenger hasn’t yet found a management job but I’m told he’s absolutely rocking football manager on the PlayStation on normal difficulty. He even won the bundesliga with Bayern so they say

I know it’ll be an unpopular one but U2 had a song a few years ago called Magnificent. There’s a few parts of the lyrics that hit a good note as well like “I was born to sing for you” etc.
