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.
With all the doom and gloom around at the moment I thought I'd try to do a positive thread; rose-tinting bastard that I am!! So what are your 3 favourite Arsenal terrace songs?? They can be basically anything we've ever sung, whether it's about our Club, an individual player or a song that takes the piss out of any opponents.
Mine are :-
1. She wore a yellow ribbon. Bloody love that one as it reminds me of warmer days in years gone by as we were getting closer to FA Cup Finals. Still makes the hairs on my neck stand up!
2. We won the League, on Merseyside (or Old Trafford. Or Shite Hart Lane ). Great song; reminds me of 26 May 1989; and no other Club can lay claim to winning the league in so many of our rivals' back yards.
3. He comes from Senegal, He plays for Arsenal. VIEIRA. . . Such a great one to sing as you can really belt it out; it honours a truly great player; one of my bestest moments at Highbury was when they put Red & White cards on the seats before a Man Utd game and we held them up as the teams walked out whilst belting out the Vieira song. (Shame we lost the f**king match but there you are . . . . . . )
I like it as its great seeing how a song has evolved and changed over the years.
"Who's that team they call...."
was a separate song in its own right but now its part of a much bigger song.
Also the last line of this part changed.
Used to be...(something like)
"Coz Arsenal are the team we all adore!"
to now "Coz (insert current Sp*ds manager)'s mother is a whore!"
The most recent addition to this is the prolonged "She's a whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeee!
she's a Whhhoooorrrr-AAAAAAAAA-oooooooooore
There's even a few verses.
like "Does it up the shitter for a score.....for a SCCoooo-AAAAAA-re!"
If you think about it is 'super' song of about 3/4 song merged into one.
My absolute favourite has to be the Eduardo one though...
He came to us when Henry went, Eddie, Eddie,
He scored more goals than Darren Bent, Eddie, Eddie,
He broke his leg,
But he'll be back,
And Darren Bent will still be cack,
Eduardo Silva Arsenal's Number 9
