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.
For me, the almost the wrost thing here is the dishoensty of the man. It's 1005 obvious who the chant it aimed at.. Does the chat occur when Man U play against Chelsea or Liverpool, or durig European matches? What an idiot he is.
I decided to read up on some of his artists. here's one:
I think it should stay a bit longer Chippy as this is still very much in the public eye / papers etc, and as perrygroves says, there is still work to be done on those still selling it!
OK I'll leave it. I do want to make one point that will be extremely unpopular but here goes. You do realise that after all this, if there are hissing noises and/or anti semitic chants at the scum game next month or homophobic chants at the Chav game in November the press and powers that be are absolutely going to take us to the cleaners for being a shower of hypocrites.

Tin hat on.
You're right there Chippy...But as long as we can still sing:
Is it wrong to find the idea that United fans would randomly sing 'sit down you paedophile' at matches without it being aimed at anyone in particular and therefore meaning anything, actually quite funny? I mean, how stupid would you have to be to do that?
As far as us being whiter than white, it's not difficult (and totally the right thing to do). Just remind Tottenham about them not winning the league for 48 years. And I've never understood why anyone throws homophobic abuse at Cashley on any logical basis. The fact that he's a greedy untrustworthy git reflects far worse on his character than if he was gay, which would of course be no stain on his character at all.
There are plenty of nasty chants that don't have to cross that line of acceptability - it's already moved pretty far at football matches.

I think most people have focused on the companies profiting from this.
In my case I've focused on Amazon, Apple, Yahoo and Virgin,
Others have contacted kick it out and the FA and the football clubs and the media, all with considerable sucess. The polcie earlier denied have received any complaint so it certainly would be useful. Might be best coming from someone who was at the game?
Although a member for a fair while now I found that I was forever not replying to threads and, as this was a bit rude, decided not to write anything but just sit on the sidelines and see what was going on.
However, I just wanted to add my small two pennysworth to say well done to you all in getting some action on this matter.
The usual hypocrisy of Man Utd, the bollockwanking ignorance of Ferguson and the utter stupidity of ManchesterSky have been exposed well and truly. Obviously not very much will happen but it lifts the heart to see such a well orchestrated and empassioned protest actually get somewhere (no thanks to occasional voyeurs like me I know).
Now about Eduardo and Rooneys England "dive".....How hard are the TV guys trying to proove it WASN'T an intentional dive (as opposed to trying to proove it WAS in our man's case).
