‘Wonder Of You’ replacement suggestions

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Totally, totally, TOTALLY agree. :barscarf:

Any anthems should come from the voices of the fans. Not a fuckin PA system.


On the downside......we are not noisy enough, at the Grove, to produce one. :(

The Wonder of You I can live with for another season but we must get rid of the stupid , pathetic , imbecilic player naming e.g. "denil"..."son".
Absolute crap !!!

thought i'd share here the song i'm used to listening at home before arsenal matches, just to get in the mood 8)

it's "As One", by "Dropkick Murphys". The chorus is:

As one
My blood runs red beneath the knife,
I'll give my soul to you tonight


hell of a song 8) :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

The problem with "the wonder of you" is that its well, an imitation "you'll never walk alone" and usually the imitation just fails next to the real thing so its no surprise this hasn't quite caught on.

I think its hard to find an 'anthem" really as that Red Action poll shows a few pages back. There are several generations of Gooners from various backgrounds so there is not even close to consensus here on this.

I think maybe the way to go forward is to pick five or six really good songs and rotate them so everyone will be happy a few timesthroughout the season.
