I for one am horrified by a modern football club not only presenting but glorifying a vicious weapon that, historically, has been used in shocking and unimaginably brutal ways - I know that some might call it “too PC” but given the context I can see no other alternative than for Arsenal to change their badge, and probably the name of their club.

Sorry, but why is this suddenly a thing now when we have had this symbol for DECADES?! Also the other north London club has a CANNON as their symbol and they're known as the GUNNERS.

Must be a boring Monday. But I guess there had to be some sort of negative press towards the club after beating City with our fighting cockerel eh?

I hate that we're giving bollocks like this airtime and discussion.

I'm all for it!

But first, Arsenal need to remove all references and images of weaponry and change their name. I don't want to be reminded of warfare.
Man U need to remove red devils. We shouldn't celebrate naughtiness.

There are probs about a hundred other clubs with aggressive imagery in sport where, shockingly enough, aggression and dominance and trying to defeat somebody/a team are the core of the intention.

If a madman one days begins a cock fighting ring and says they only did so because observing the Spurs logo swung it, then we can revisit. Until then.... there's no serious threat we need to address imo.

Tottenham Hotlegs. Sex sells and we need money. Plus we'd improve our image and make headlines. This could be a billion dollar idea.

Come on now South Stand at the tops of your voices:

COOOMMME ON YOUUUU LEEEEEEEEEGS! COOOOMMME ONNN YOU LEEEEEEEEGGS! As Sonny goes up for a corner to chase an equaliser against Burnley that ends up hitting the first defender for a clearance.

Replace the Cockerel on the roof with this.

I reckon they are absolutely right.
Too much whataboutery on this thread - what arsenal might do or not is no guidance at all.
It doesn't mean we change our name, an abbreviation of hotspur, but just change a few threads/icons on the badge, to keep it up to date with current views that cock fighting is absolutely barbaric.

How about “Tottenham Cock Rings”? We could remove the spurs and add a ring around the cockerel to signify unity and togetherness?

You forgot this one. Man u need to change their nickname to gender neutral United, as they can't assume their gender anymore! :whistle: same with Man city.

Not for this - this article could be about something entirely unrelated to the club and mention PETA - but fuck PETA.

They can eat my entire arse. Hypocritical scumbags, liars and vicious thugs. They do more harm to the animal rights debate than any hunter or fisherman, or a football club.

Agree completely. PETA are absolute scum.
