Who are we to slag off everyone elses support?

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.

Who are we to slag off everyone elses support?

Post by gazzaa2 »

I don't know what it is with Arsenal fans these days but every single away game it's "Shall we sing a song for you" and "Your support is fucking shit" constantly being sung. Even Barca got this treatment the other night.

It just makes us look like idiots when we've hardly got the loudest home support in the world. We never used to sing these idiotic songs but it doesn't matter who we play now, it doesn't matter how loud the fans are, we sing it.

Not to mention the fact that they're really boring songs.

We get it sung at us at every home game. What goes around, comes around.

I must have missed Barcelona singing this at the Emirates.

It's embarrassing shite.

I've never heard United or Liverpool fans sing them, yet you can guarantee it'll constantly get sang on Saturday at their fans.

If it only takes a shit song like that to get you embarrassed then it must be a hard life.

To be fair, there weren't too many other songs being sung in Barca. Which was disappointing. So at least it got most people singing!

Anyway, it is a harmless song, of all the things to sing, it isn't nasty, racist, homophobic, etc etc, so all things considered, it's a small fry complaint to make.

Sorry but nearly all clubs sing this, especially in the lower leagues. Its basically the norm and does not make our club look stupid at all because its accepted as one of those generic songs that everyone sings.

They don't sing them mate. I sit near the away fans at the Emirates and the both of them have never sang them.

We go away and they both get sung within 2 minutes.

Hmmm convenient a poster called "Gazza" turns up the day after Spurs go to the QFs of the CL and Arsenal go out, to slag of the Arsenal support.

Full on chicken and lager are we Gaz?

I agree with gazza. Don't really see the point in singing it as it's generally what fans of small or shit clubs sing to make up for the inadequacy of their side on the pitch. Oh..... I get it now. :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

I'm afraid that at the big away or neutral venue games the gooners always seem to be in great vocal form in the pubs pre match but then over do the beers and generate very little noise in the stadium.

2 games spring to mind the Cup Winners Cup final v Zarragosa and Carling Cup V Birmingham.

If you're too pissed you can't co ordinate a decent song!!!!

Oh and in the final V Parma there were 2 guys behind us who slept thru most of the game as they were so out of it.

Probably still told their mates what a great game it was. Tossers!!!

To be fair, I had a chuckle on Tuesday night at a rendition of "Your supports are fucking shit" as some mateys were trying to pull down those poles holding up the netting :lol:
