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.

like super niklas bendtner?
even he must know he's shit
anyway,why would he be insulted? he's not black or white.more mixed race looking than anything and it finishes with "he's our mate,marouane chamakh
think he'd be glad we like him enuf to sing his name?
the Berbers are a proud group of people, I think the 'not white, not black' bit could upset him or his family
to suggest where his family is from is near Iraq (I presume it's Morocco rather than France although the two are not that diff in distance from Iraq) could easily be construed as dismissive
if I told some stranger I'm from Islington and they said
'oh thats some little town outside London'
I would immediately correct them and be offended if they persisted with it...
worse if they said
'it is and town outside London and you're my mate'
incorrect, patronising and borderline racist
the tune is good the words are actually spectacularly bad

Mate. If I played for my beloved arsenal I wouldn’t care what you sing. Especially as Cham has told us he was a Arsenal fan before he joined the club.
I doubt he would be offended that the arsenal fans love him that much they gave him a quality song. If I was him and I walked out on the pitch to see the fans jumping up down singing that I would be fucking proud.
Cesc – “Cham do you hear that song there singing, they love youâ€
