The search for an Arsenal ‘anthem’ (18/6)

[N22Gooner]

As much as I like the impossible dream i don't think it or any other manufactured song will work. Like a few others have said it needs to have come from the fans that's why I suggest "There is a team called The Arsenal" or "When you're smiling" which used to be sung in the North Bank.

LINKING THE LAST TWO SUBJECTS, NAMELY A NEW ANTHEM AND POSSIBLE ITALIAN SIGNINGS, HOWS ABOUT:

WHATS A MATTER YOU? GOTTA NO RESPECT,
WHADO YOU THINK YOU DO? WHY YOU LOOKA SO SAD?
ITSA NOT SO BAD, ITSA NICAH PLACE,
OH SHADDUPPA YOUR FACE!!

[I Hate Hleb]

COME TO THINK OF IT, I SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT THREE SUBJECTS.

THE LYRICS COULD EVEN APPLY TO OUR DEPARTING HERO THIERRY!

[T.S]

So when does the referendum start?

I've changed my stance and am now going for 'Eat the Rich' by Motorhead.

This is a great topic for debate, and something I think we've needed for years. The song needs to be sung at a slow tempo so that large areas of support can get involved, and keep in time. From the suggested titles I think I would vote for "Over the Rainbow" with maybe "My Way" as my first reserve, but there are probably other possibilities. Lets hope this works out, it could be the making of the Emirates.

You are my arsenal,
my only arsenal,
you make me happy when skies are grey
you just dont know,
how much i love you
so please dont take my arsenal away

you took our iceman, you took our henry, you took our paddy,
you took em all,
you just dont know,
how much i love you,
so please dont take my arsenal away.

Maybe instead of choosing a song that has nothing to do with Arsenal why don't the Club do what Barca have done many times in the past. Employ someone to write and compose an anthem. This would be far better in my opinion. Barcelona's current Anthem (1974) is class. It's really gripping and sounds so patriotic. Rather like the French national anthem does.

I would prefer if this happened as opposed to the Impossible Dream, which I don't think will work. If anything I'd go for Bridge Over Troubled Water.

First time I've heard class & Barca mentioned in the same sentence!

Have you honestly listened to that anthem? Its shite!! Like something you'd hear on radio 3, but only in the middle of the night.
