That slow Spurs chant is the absolute fucking worst thing in football.

It's been superseded by the Arsenal 'anthem'.

"North London Forever". From a team that used to play in south London.

I like the Arsenal anthem and I can see why they do too.  It's better than Hi-Ho for sure.

Indeed, helps explain why Coldplay are popular though.

I like the idea of a welcoming song that all the fans know and is unique to the club. Hi-Ho is sung by away fans at VP with equal gusto as the home fans do, and whilst it reminds me of the early-mid seventies I'm sure we could do something more distinctive.
But then, this is a discussion that's been had on here countless times.

For my own peace of mind, I really, really wish that all the broadcasters would release a joint statement saying something like this: "it's not bias towards the 'big six'. It's naked capitalism. Many more people give a shit about those six clubs. We couldn't give a shit. If your shit club suddenly found loads of new supporters, we'd pander to your petty fucking grievances too (not that you'll be satisfied by that, because that's literally not possible). We don't care about any club. We care about money. Live with it, because it isn't changing until you fucking do."
https://www.si.com/fannation/soccer/futbol/features/premier-league-clubs-ranked-by-social-media-followers

Edit: and while I'm at it, I'd want them to add: "we have no obligation to be impartial. We're not BBC News. We've paid a lot of money to show these games and we'd like to see a fucking return on that investment if that's OK with you? And if you're a fucking Southampton fan, that's your fucking problem, you sad twat. Here's a fucking Spurs match."
This is fantastic.

Thanks for your support, you absolute prick*.

*I'm obviously joking, don't think you're a prick and appreciate your kindness!

So they can spend more time praising Ollie Watkins.

Why?

Yeah, don't get the beef with Pearce, he's normally complimentary about us.
