In the song 'we all follow the arsenal' why do we shout 'over land and sea and leicester' ??
I dont understand the leicester bit?!?!
any posts that could enlighten me, would be helpfull!
The place itself is supposed to be a bit of a dump, that is why it is singled out in the song.
I have never been there though, so if anyone has, is it a dump?

We went through a marathon F.A Cup saga with Sheff Wed in 1979 / 80 ?, drew home and away, drew again and the 4th and 5th replays were at Filbert Street, Leicester which we finally won 2-0.Reg Niseth wrote:When your travel up the M1 there's a sign that says 'To the North AND LEICESTER'Tallest gooner wrote:Random post i no..............but

..never understood.



I am afraid as far as I know this is a reference to a sixties and seventies chant that started:
We hate Nottingham Forest
and went on as far as I remember:
We hate Tottenham too
then the ...and Leicester bit was added
(their fans were pyschos back in the day)
finshing with
We hate Manchester United
But Arsenal we love you

New chant for Eboue:
Eboue whoooo
Eboue whooo
He likes to take a dive
Lets give him nine point five
I thought this would be good for when he falls over and wins a penalty.
The last line could be substituted with
Lets give him two point five
When he acts like a tit. It might encourage him to stop doing it and get on with the game.
Just a thought since it seems like he isn't going anywhere else.

"Hey Hey were the arsenal,
People say we pass it around,
But were too busy winning,
And the Tottenhams going down,
And you can stick ya Chelsea,
Come and watch us sing and play,
Arsenes new generation,
The Arsenals here to stay!!!!
Popped this out last year but it seems quite appropriate now!!!!!!
AFC
C'mon
