Just watched the highlights. Spare some thoughts for the person cleaning the commentary booth, loads of ejaculate all over the place for sure.

I just found this… under some suggestions for copying our songs..
All round the Fields of Emirates Road
Where once we watched Thierry Henry (and only he)
Gervinho balding on the wing,
We had chants we tried to sing,
But they’re copies from the Kop of Anfield Road.
An arse-cannon upon our chest
We are men of Arteta’s best
A team that plays the gooning way
And finish second every may

Probably shouldn’t go calling this our song.
From a sporting perspective it’s been used by Galway Hurling fans, then RoI soccer fans before becoming a popular chant with Glasgow Celtic.

Ireland rugby games are what it’s most associated with

I read somewhere today… the only song Arse can’t copy, is..
“Champions of Europe - You’ll never sing that” :0)
The difference i would imagine is that Liverpool has a strong Irish connection (and that links with all of the above).
Arsenal claiming it because Liam Brady played for them probably isn’t enough.

There’s a huge difference though in copying songs from a different country / different sport to copying them from your direct title rival. Could never imagine Liverpool fans singing “glory glory Liverpool” when United where dominating and we were the chasing pack. It’s beyond shameless.

Shushhhhh.
You’re giving them the idea to modify it to:
“Best team in Europe”

They can though.
“Champions of Europe - We’ll never sing that”

Also, we started singing it after Euro '96 when Ireland played at Anfield and the Irish supporters sang it on the Kop

Saka out for 4 weeks according to bbc
You give the average football fan (person) too much credit. I remember Leicester fans chanting ‘Champions of England, you’ll never sing that’ to us not long after they won the League.
Going through life sometimes feels like if it didn’t happen yesterday, the majority of people won’t believe it happened at all

My “PL Predictor” formula has Arsenal winning it by 1 point.
However if we do sign Isak I think that the formula will likely favour us.

Just what they need, another player who can play CB and LB.

I wonder if Arteta looks at his squad and thinks: “What would Pep do?” And then goes on to do it, minus passing the ball around until the opposing team cracks.

It’s an astonishing window from them . If this goes through it will be 7 new senior players, 5 of whom went there with the intention of being a regular and little to nothing raised in sales. And Liverpool are buying the league?

At what point does psr become an issue for them considering how much they spend and how little they bring in player sales?!

They are really going all in, aren’t they? Yeah I’d put them as favourites at the moment.
Its what Califiori was brought in to do.
Assume Zinchenko will be sold for peanuts.
Wouldn’t mind us hijacking this one. Get Flo and Jez on the dog and bone.
