Cutting The Villans Some Slack (13/3)
http://www.onlinegooner.com/exclusive/index.php?id=555
usual thread starter… I am certain feelings are still running high on this one, and the scenes after the Villa game were testament to what a lot of Arsenal fans thought about the visiting fans’ chanting, including the writer of this piece (although I have no idea if he actually got involved in it)
The article equates things like being caught kerb crawling and losing your driving licence with what the Villa fans sang about. I certainly can’t follow that train of thought.
The question though is this. If Eduardo’s injury had happened to a Spurs player, would Arsenal fans have joined in with a p*ss-taking chant of similar bad taste?

So I guess the author of the article thinks that anti-Jewish songs are alright as well. If he doesn’t then he is a hypocrite. And how can getting your license revoked compare with a leg break?
Yes, there would be some fools like that.gooner.ed wrote:The question though is this. If Eduardo’s injury had happened to a Spurs player, would Arsenal fans have joined in with a p*ss-taking chant of similar bad taste?
Great article and I admit if it had been Berbatov, Drogba, Torres or Rooney, we would be singing songs about it as soon as someone sharp and witty enough had come up with the lyrics
.
This isn't what football used to be about, it is what football is still about

If people don't like it , then please go follow another sport, our game has been steralised enough through all seater stadiums and corporate types and plastic jump on the bandwagon fans.
Football is as much about the banter as it is the game itself, why else would this forum be such a success?

I could understand the Spurs fans taking the piss and singing about Ed because of the obvious rivalry but with Villa and Wiganetc there is no real rivalry. I dont expect that Arsenal fans would be ripping it out of Wigan if Heskey had been fucked. It's dissapointing but its gonna happen in football. We just need to come back in full voice in support of Ed and the Arsenal boys.

Thing is, we are so much bigger than these clubs and as league leaders people like to pile it on us. I would rather that than be shit.tenementfunster5 wrote:I could understand the Spurs fans taking the piss and singing about Ed because of the obvious rivalry but with Villa and Wiganetc there is no real rivalry.
