The way to get their attention

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.

A couple more to add to that, albeit with zero chance of them taking off.

To the 2nd half of the “wanky tottnumb hotspurâ€

I would fucking die to play for Arsenal
I?d sweat blood all for the cause
And if you?d only do the same
We?d be proud to sing your name
My hearts on my white sleeve where is yourrrrrs?
:barscarf: nice

For the WBA game someone should bring a banner or something as the stewards won't take it of them

Yeah, "Signings, or Sign Out", that was at home though.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH banner should do the trick.

Short and sweet - I like it. If half the fuckin fans at the emirates had balls then we could organise something there regardless of the nazi stewards and just ignore them.

Everyone turn up at the Hawthorns early, let the papers know...not the Sun as Shaun Custis is a c**t of the highest order.

For 10minutes.

We chant

'We Are A Football Club, Not a PLC' over and over before kick off. Followed by a rendition of Good Old Arsenal. It has to be a red and white day we all hold our scarves aloft.

I think it will make a difference, at least the club know we are no longer afraid to let them know we've had enough.

This way once the game kicks off we can get back to giving the players our support.

The problem with the banner is, the home stewards will take it and the cameras away and at home will be told to ignore it.

You can't ignore a chant that goes on for a good 10 minutes before the game has started.

That banner would not be taken down at home. I think banners are needed as well as the chants. I can't see that you will get the whole away end chanting one thing at once.

I went to Leyton Orient away. This was mostly away schemers. They are largely about as pro-Wenger as you can get.

i don't understand why the away cameras would be told not to pick up the banners

like industrial action, success hinges on being taken seriously by the threat or taking of action. that means being seen to make sacrifices and systematically increasing the stakes until they listen

staying away from or a mass walk-out of a high profile match is message the board, aw and the players would sit up and take notice of. the press would have a "field day"

more importantly, a silent-protest (which is what it would be) would have them begging to listen to our opinions. at the moment they're not interested in fans' opinions

The Liverpool game is the one and I'm up for doing it.

10 minutes after kick off regardless of what is happening on the pitch. We walk out.

The players...most of them should be in no doubt we do not blame them.
It's a big game on TV, it's a Sunday afternoon, we will have the undivided attention of the football world.

The scousers know what it's like to have a board screwing the the fans so I'm sure their will be cross solidarity.

So the Liverpool game anyone else up for doing this
