The "little club" Charter

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.

"You're a glory hunting gold digger!" one of em yelled at me :? :lol: Surely, considering we've won fuck all for 6 years, if that was the case i'd support Chelsea?! Enjoy the conference you inbreds. Forest Green Rovers should be a nice day out for you.

:awnker:
Off topic I know, but I agree with that- we had a friendly at Forest Green and it was a cracking day out. Forest Green fans were a good set of lads and the club was very welcoming. Nice little club is Forest Green, if anyone has a free weekend I can absolutely recommend taking in a match there. Hope they're doing well this season

Edit: just checked, they're 19th in the Blue Square Premier, so not going too well, but not in the relegation places anyway so thats canny

Fuck me, this sounded like an advertisement from the Forest Green Tourist Board if there is such a thing. Anyway, as you were lads

I last went to Forest Green back when they were called Stroud United, I think the game ended 5-3. :o

heh, this made me laugh a lot. I accepted the opportunity of joining the Blue Army for yesterday's game and added my voice to "S.O.A.A.C." and "...local team" - which in the circumstances pass as fair comment. I wondered at the time whether we could make the little (rugby) club charter so thank you for resurrecting this thread.

I would have joined in "Fuck All" too, but didn't get the chance. That would have been bittersweet, as only yesterday I availed myself of 28:1 for a Gooner domestic treble

And welcome back Doc H. :wink:

Remember when they were accused of "stealing" Barcalonas crest? Yet they are apparently a few years older than Barca :shock:

We're not on this yet, but alas i fear we may get added on Saturday due to the League Cup defeat, the upcoming Barca game and the fact that we'll probably lose.

I predict at 1-0 Arsenal there will be a rendition of "you're gonna win fuck all"

Just as long as the chant mooted on facebook doesnt take off, the cringeworthy and utterly embarrassing
"you won the league cup,
you won the league cup,
lol we're just kidding,
you fucked it right up"

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Sometimes i genuinely worry for the future of football in this country, and for society in general

Mind you it is still better than the '2-1 to the Birmingham' that the fans of the mighty O's were singing on Wednesday. :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Re: The "little club" Charter

Post by SteveO 35 »

On Saturday, I was glad that our 125 year celebrations came against a proper club like Everton. 2nd longest unbroken run in the top flight, decent fans giving their ex-player a good reception etc. Made me think about the good old Little Club Charter again, and how different it would have been if we'd hosted Stoke, Wolves, Birmingham (thank god they've gone) etc

However, we've now got the Kings of the Little Club Charter at home on Boxing Day. I'm fully expecting them to hang on to their crown again this year, but those wankers at QPR will probably challenge them hard (I remember them singing 'Liverpool, Liverpool' at the Clock End years ago when we were tussling for the title with them)

Won't be able to get to the Wolves game so would be grateful if someone could tick off the points below and see if our friends live up to their usual standards. Please feel free to add any new points to the charter :D

1. The team should "get in Arsenal's faces" for the first 20 minutes mindlessly chasing shadows, sliding in with raised studs. Who cares - the ref never books you in the first part of the game. Anyway, Alan Shearer says this is the way to beat Arsenal so it must be true......

2. At this point, you the supporter, should scream excitedly at every opportunity. Throws in and corners in particularly should produce orgasmic moments.....

3. Whistle and boo every time Arsenal retain the ball

4. Should one of the attempts to scythe an Arsenal player in half be successful and the physio is employed to deal with a potentially serious injury start singing "Same old Arsenal, always cheating" (in the style of a 6 year old in a playground)

5. Lean over the advertising boards, chanting "*****-er, *****-er" at any Arsenal player taking a set play, whilst hugging your mate and trying to get on TV. Later on in the boozer you can brag how you "gave it to those Cockney wankers"

6. When three goals down make sure that you claim some sort of moral victory for singing the loudest. Some particular gems to get you started:

"Ing-er-lund, Ing-er-lund, Ing-er-lund"
"Fuck all, you're gonna win fuck all" (the thicker the regional accent the better for this one...with the emphasis on thick please)
"Your support is fucking shit"
"We support our local team"

7. After getting stuffed out of sight make sure that you claim that only the "top four" get the benefit of the doubt from the refs and that if key incidents had gone your way it would have been a different story

8. Shout "WHO ?" when established Arsenal players get substituted on to the field whilst chuckling with your mates over your cracking sense of humour

9. When eventually relegated pretend that the Championship is a better division because everyone has a chance in the play offs and we get to sing "Ee-ay, ee-ay, ee-ay, ee-ay-o....up the football league we go" everywhere from Plymouth to Scunthorpe


Can anyone think of some additional terms of the Charter ?????

Aston Villa, the club 5-10,000 under capacity every week:

Every time they come to a sold out Emirates that isn't quite full 30 sconds after kick off, they point & sing to the tune of 'Kumbayah':

"Emptoy seats my lord, emptoy seats" in that fucking irritating monotone brummie drawl.

Pisses me off no end

Yes, you're right. They are in the same 'wind-up' merchant category as Wolves and, mark my words, QPR. Starved of success they seem hellbent on just winding the home fans up. Birmingham singing songs about that *word censored* that broke Eduardo's leg were just as bad.

Stoke's "swing low, sweet chariot" was quite amusing when they first did it but I think they've failed to realise the joke is on them :D

Aye, we played them at home recently at they were singing the same thing. They didnt seem to notice the irony that they were singing it from their 3,000 allocation section, of which they'd sold about 1,000
