The Wonder of You

This song seems to draw a lot of dvision between gooners as to whether its suitable as a football anthem.

Personally I like it, I like the song, its easy to sing and just a generally nice sing-song before kick off.

Havent seen any threads around dedicated to this (since ive been here) so I thought id gauge some more opinions on this.

As a wise forum-goer once said.... Discuss.

I think the song will only be embraced once we have won a top tophy i.e League or CL.
The lyrics can be interpreted as success when no one else except those close to you believed in you, so for the it to have any meaning in relation to our current team, they must first succeed.

(Edâ€™s note â€“ we actually did this in the summer of 2007 and â€˜The Impossible Dreamâ€™ was the most popular choice. There is a thread about it on the onlinegooner forum, although how far back youâ€™d have to delve I just couldnâ€™t say. However, from mass of suggestions, one was â€˜The Wonder Of Youâ€™ (by Donaldo, one our our regular posters) which I think was the reason it was originally considered by the club, as they drew up a shortlist of options for an anthem which included suggestions from the thread.

Then it's be in place for a fucking long time...

My (silent) protest against TWOY is to not go into the stand until it's finished. Petty, but I cringe when we come out to that.

I dont see how the impossible dream would work when theres so many negative defeatists about

the song makes me cringe, i also dont go to the stand till it had finished. pure and simple how can it be an anthem if it isnt adopted by all the fans. i reckon they should drop this notion of having an anthem altogether, we're not celtic or liverpool. we should have some music to fire us up like right here right now, instead of this depressing drivel, especially if it doesnt have anything to do with arsenal
