Safe standing behind the goal with increased capacity but cheaper ticket prices would be a massive improvement is atmosphere for every Premier League club. Just 10,000 local working class lads, who meet up for a pint before the game, in the Clock End would do the trick for us.

Don't worry, you can still enjoy your prawn sandwich and glass of sherry in the West End. But you might find it a bit loud for reading those classic russian novels you're usually seen with!

You don't know me. I had to sit in the the prawn sandwich circle today and I hated it. Yet I was vocal as I could be from singing the national anthem to being the last man standing when everyone else deserted before FT. I fully support safe standing, but I don't like ultras culture because they are just a bunch of choreographed cheerleaders, nothing like the natural English terrace culture that we have.

I recall the 86/87 season when we were on that League Cup run, and 'We're on the march we're Georgie's army...' was in. That would be sung by the whole stadium.

There was a joke doing the rounds when Liam Brady went to juventus
That Spurs Mark falco was going to fray bentos
I never knew there was such a place but it turns out there is and this possible arsenal signing is from there
Funny old world ain't it

Used to travel from Preston watching Arsenal all over in the 70s occasionally after not seen any mention of the classic 70s chants on here
ie
Arsenal Arsenal
we are louder than the Kop at Liverpool
so if you see us coming
You'd best start running
and
Bertie Mee said to Joe Harvey
have you heard of the North Bank Highbury
no said Joe I dont think so
but I've heard of the Arsenal AGGRO

The song itself is pure cringe. Written by a rich boy with a fake exaggerated cockney accent, referencing things that he's too young to remember.
Corinthians 15:57; But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
