I just find it cringeworthy that a grown man has sat in his bedroom dreaming up that ditty, then got his mates round to practise it, and then get one of them to film them singing it on their own inside the stadium.
Coz that's how the chants get built up, they evolve.

It’s not like we create our ones in Abbey Road. They have to come from somewhere.

Daily Mirror reporting that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has agreed personal terms with Woolwich. If this is true, goddamn..

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was "very aggressive" and called referee Mike Dean "a disgrace" after the Gunners' 1-1 draw at West Brom on New Year's Eve, according to an FA report.

Dean gave a controversial late penalty, which the Baggies scored in a 1-1 draw.

Wenger entered the officials' changing room and confronted Dean, according to the Football Association's reasons for his three-match touchline ban.

The referee said Wenger accused the official of "not being honest".

Now I know I'm only a Tottenham fan so my knowledge of Arsenal really isn't as deep as genuine fans like these but didn't Wenger sign the entire defence and goalkeeper in the unbeaten team of 2002? You know, their greatest ever team.
And wasn't Clichy named in the PFA team of the year after Cole left? Didn't he also go on to win the league with City after leaving Arsenal? Isn't that a bit like us moaning about replacing Sol Campbell with the King? Obviously Clichy's no Ledley King, but you can see my point. I guess when you have the self entitlement that these fans have rewriting a bit of their history isn't that big a deal.

As far as I’m concerned he lucked out by inheriting Graham’s defence and Bergkamp and being in a position to sign France’s best ever players. Once that dried up he threw money at the problem which was just a quick fix. There you go, Arsenal in 20 years in 10 seconds.

I wasn't sticking up for Wenger, I'm just not going to give those fans credit for not knowing about their club. To be honest it could be the best song in the world, but if their fans were singing it I still wouldn't like it.

Seems like in order for Sanchez to go to Man U that mhikitarian needs to go to Arsenal but he doesn't want to go there.

So they are trying to push through a player who doesn't want to play for them. That's going to end well!

It did for Raheem Sterling! All this worry about big names going to Arsenal but clearly the appeal isn’t there. Players want Champions League football and it doesn’t take long for them to realise that Arsenal are heading in the other direction. They are where we were when we were linked with impossible signings, only we were getting better. They’ll pick up a few fringe players who will use them as a stepping stone at best. I’m bloody loving this.

I really think they haven't seen the last of Wenger after this contract either, but thats a different story altogether.

To be fair most of the players there now don't want to play for them either. They must be so used to it by now that it doesn't even register.
