At the end of the day...we dont have an anthem. "the wonder of you" has been, in my opinion, an embarassment. Can anyone tell me why it was chosen in the first place? To be fair it was belted out against the mancs in the champs lge last season but the atmosphere was so electric that "ting tang walla walla bing bang" would have been just as raucous. "Good Old Arsenal" is the closest thing we have and i think it fits the bill perfectly. To me hearing that Elvis song as we walk out is almost cringeworthy. It is not a very passionate song.

The problem is no one sings along.

If a whole block started singing it, the next would...chain reaction it might catch on.

BUT.....no one sings anyway so theres no way an intro song will work.

BUT....mancs champions league semi final last season it was fukin class everyone singing it!!!!!! and anyone there cannot deny it was buzzing more than any other game at the new stadium.

No better options apart from good old arsenal which they've tried....but would get my vote.
