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.

That was me mate!!! Honest Guv - I bought an air horn in the late 70s when I was a young teenager and took it to matches for years. I always stood right in the middle of the North Bank, with my back to the first crush barrier above the middle walkway and the air-horn usually needed a new can of compressed air after each match.
My best moment was when the bloody thing ran out of air half way through starting an "ARSENAL" chant off - it went
Wings of a sparrer. (Flyover Totteham hotspur and shit on the bastards below below )
Eton boating song ( there's a team the Arsenal )
Good old Arsenal.

Yes, brilliant... also... Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner.... I remember when I first started going, I was around 10 and sang this when I got home, after one of the games... My mum wasn't too impressed when I came out with the 'get off ya sister' line at the end of it..
Always loved singing "Sign on... Sign on... with a pen... in your hand..." at the Mousers when they'd start that stupid fucking "classic" (only?) song of theirs.
And loved the old banter of "Clock End, do your job! Clock End, Clock End - do your job!"

Top gig that.
For pure brilliance, it has to be the Pleat song that we were singing at the Perv when we had them away in 1987. Added to the fact there seemed to be thousands of fake titts (not talking about their fans btw) and blow up dolls being thrown on the pitch.
