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.
Its Up 4 Grabs Now wrote:I see shirts of red, With white on the sleeve
Til 75 mins, Cos that’s when I leave
And I think to myself
Fuck this for a game of soldiers I’m going to the pub
I see shirts of red, yellow ones too, can't see no blue or any Man U, and i think to myself what a wonderful world!
I think it's good. Chances of it ever taking off are, sadly, zero.
But then you probably already knew that, based on the other responses you have received on this thread.
We've all put up songs at some point & had 'mixed' responses, mate. I know I have. Plenty were either ignored altogether or ripped apart, some got decent responses, a couple even took off (sort of). Likewise I've contacted redaction in the past with songs & on the whole got no response whatsoever, bar 1 or 2 occasions. But that didn't mean I got in a huff with redaction as a whole, I just took it they/you thought the song was crap & moved on - fair enough, it probably was. And I definitely didn't/wouldn't assume just cos I didn’t get the response I was looking for that redaction, or anyone on here who slated the song, must automatically just not be interested in singing & getting behind the team.
Anyway, here's a song suggestion of my own for everyone to ignore/slate/sing along to… a new version of the Maybe It’s Because I'm a Londoner one we used to sing:
Maybe it’s because we’re The Ar-se-nal
The kings of London town
That every single shithole that we travel to
And every single - shite football ground
They all come out to see the mighty Gunners
And say we’ll win fuck all
But they’re just jealous cos they’re all a bunch of c**ts
And we’re The Ar-se-naaal
Ohhhh…

Cue end of thread.
I like it mate - but it's got too many swear words for redaction to get behind - which is why they may not have taken on previous ones.
And don't be modest - most of the songs you put on here are good efforts, and definitely the kind of edgy stuff that most people would sing...did you make up a song to the one those Argentines were singing (River Plate I think)???
Unfortunately, your stuff doesn't get to a wider audience.

I'd forgotten about that one, bloody hell how do you remember that? To be fair, I think we all knew that River Plate song taking off, whatever the words, was gonna be a tough ask.

I collect all of your work (please send me a lock of your hair , no wait, your a ginge, so please don't )
As I said mate, for my tastes you tend to have good ideas, and that River Plate song is just the kind of decent song with a good football rythmn to get everyone singing.
Unfortunately, KC and the Sunshine band is all we've got.
