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.

Eastham was my dads favourite ever player until Bergkamp came along.

On the subject of old chants, I need a very brief phrase to go on a banner ; as short as 10 or 20 letters, that splits in half well (ie to go either side of an image)
Doesn't even need to be from a chant, just AFC related or motivational, something like :
Up the Gun
The Cannon on our chest
We come to play (or should that be 'we come NOT to play' ??)
Stronger together

In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
You look in the dustbin for something to eat
You find a dead cat and you think it's a treat
In your Liverpool slums
You are the scousers
the ugly scousers
you're only happy
on giro day
you're mother's thieving
you're dad's drug dealing
oh please don't take, my hubcaps, away.
Not an original but I remember with a smile on my face, singing "We're on the march with Georges Army" at WHL in the 87 League Cup Semi.
The Park Lane was absolutely heaving, we had the whole end in those days and the noise coming from there was so loud I'm sure it would've been heard all along Tottenham High Road.
It was one of those nights that's so hard to translate to those that weren't there.
not sure why it caught on so much as basically it was very juvenile, childish and repetitive but at the time was very much a part of the football experience.
