Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Marc Overmars]

I don’t mind it tbh, catchy and seems to get the crowd engaged.

Anthems have to start somewhere and while this is obviously a bit corny you never know if it could snowball into something more iconic should we have a successful team in the coming seasons.

It's the 'whatever the weather' bit that really grates, a five-year-old could do better

Reminds me of a bit David Baddiel used to do about Bob Marley. How people go “oh he was such a genius”. No he wasn’t. “Iron, Lion, Zion”?! That’s just a load of words that happen to rhyme. What’s the next part “My name is Bry-on, I have a very nice tie-on”?

I don’t actually think it’s that good a song but it has grown on me a bit and the fans seem to have adopted it.

At least it isn’t “Highbury Highs”

I think you’ve either got a club anthem or you haven’t

Find it strange where some of the songs have originated. I’m forever blowing Bubbles comes from a New York novelty orchestra band in the 1910s

You’ll never walk alone is from a Gilbert and Sullivan musical

Marching on Together was just a single recorded for the 1972 fa cup final (which Leeds beat us in ) copying the England team who recorded Back Home in 1970

Fuck me it’s ten years since the 3-2 FA cup final over Hull

I was ridiculously nervous before that game. And so as it turns out were the players. Went feral when Ramsey struck the winner, almost broke the tv

Was no where near as nervous a year later…I just enjoyed the game

Caused a mini pile up in the crowd by accidentally knocking my dad over

Both trips to Wembley that season were thoroughly unenjoyable.

Villa was nicer as you say because the monkey was off our back.

As for the Angel, I get that it's corny but it's a genuine product of the community. People saw it online and told the club that it should be our anthem and the club listened, it wasn't foisted on us like that Elvis song.

And it's worked for that exact reason, the whole stadium gets up and belts it out just like YNWA because it came from the fans and I think it's a really valuable part of the club now.

You know something. Emirates stadium should have kept up playing this song, after the home team scored, but it was just a Covid thing

Just saying...:

Yeah, but that was written by Jimmy Hill, so…

I was so worried they'd do that

Goal music can fuck off, in general. Crowd noise is enough.
