We sing this song because it's ours and we've done so since Adam was a boy.

As for the FA, I find it odd they found fault with Pep......but what do I know?

more than the fa obviously

Isn't the Arsenal song ''she wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon.....'' so for that reason, I'm out (even though I won't be there and watching in a pub in Tampa....)

Yeah from the final in 50's and 70's Arsenal fans sang it at finals, but we also sang it with yellow changed to sky blue, and rags used scarlet it's a cup song many teams used but arsen started it.

Anything City/Yellow V Arsenal is a no no for me .....

Still remember the blues, I mean yellows, running out to "what the fuckin 'ell is that" Did they ever wear it again?

New contract to 2021 - £20m a year. Not bad that....

Not as I can remember, mind you the 4-0 hammering can't have helped! It was totally unexpected and not announced in advance which is why it was so badly received by the fans.

I was at that game. As soon as they ran out, 'What the ..kin. 'ell is that?'

Was it Mel Machin?
I think we'd just got him from Norwich.
The story goes that when he was sacked, Swales said, ' and take that ...kin. kit with you'!

It's about supporting our manager on a very political point, namely, Catalonian independence. How would we feel if he rocked up wearing a green ribbon saying he was all out for a united Ireland? There'd be fucking uproar - and rightly so. Not for his choice of politics, but because he'd chosen to be so overtly political in a non-political environment (a football match). You could argue he's simply stating and exhibiting a long-held view on an important issue. And part of me applauds that. But the greater part of me, says leave that to a non-sporting arena. Football, for a lot, myself included, is a chance to get away from the quotidian drudgery of political rhetoric.

Are you against the poppy then? Genuine question.
