Can you hear the Arsenal sing? Nooo, noooo. Can you hear the Arsenal sing? Noooo, noooo. Can you hear the Arsenal sing cos I can’t hear a fuckin thing, wooooooahhhhh shhhhhhhh.
No wonder their old ground used to be called the Library. Even their away support is quiet! It was a European Cup semi-final against one of their hated rivals and they could only be bothered with a few rounds of unoriginal songs every team sings, with the name of the club the only difference. Pathetic.
As an Arsenal fan on the way home from Old Trafford said on BBC 606, he hoped they would be able to recreate something like the atmosphere we produced last night. He was at the game and was big enough to admit it. I imagine, sadly, many others won’t be.
Being at the game, obviously I have no idea if the telly paid much attention to our singing. They probably didn’t. It’s only Liverpool’s Anfield atmosphere they even seem to comment on. But I was thoroughly impressed with our effort. We literally didn’t stop singing all game and I have a voice today which proves it! It’s not just the volume that impresses me but the variety of songs we sing.
It was better against Barcelona but then that was the second leg and a lot more crucial. But there was no knocking how we showed up in numbers in full voice last night. Song after song after song. We brought out the usual old ones, the Calpyso and Busby’s Aces, there were the chants for the current players like Rooney, Ronaldo, Anderson, O’Shea, Giggs, Vidic and Tevez, there were chants specifically for Arsenal, with Vieira woooah and Bertie Mee, mixed in with plenty of the other favourites, like U-N-I,T-E-D, Champions of England Champions of Europe.
Can Arsenal put on a better show? Given how uncreative and quiet their away support was, I very much doubt it!
Man Utd News 24/7
i dislike emirates. ugly stadium.
from what a managed to hear from the plasma tv you didn’t stop signing the whole game. really impressive.
They will be outsung in the Library (or Emirates, or whatever) too.
Someone must have been at the wrong game…
Dunno what game u listened to Corea but the atmosphere was quite dull, even when manchester scored the fans didnt seem as wild as they were against spurs. At one point all u could hear was the arsenal fans on the TV.
if that was an atmosphere to be proud of no wonder Roy Keane moaned about the prawn sandwiches brigade. The atmosphere at Anfield 10 days ago (in a much smaller stadium) was far more impressive.
I believe the atmosphere will be much better at the Emirates than it was at OT last night. i find it a cheek for a Man Utd fan to slag off a team for their lack of noise, you have the biggest stadium in the country and your own manager complains about the lack of noise you make.
I would look long and hard in the mirror before making judgements about other clubs.
i love the singing from jonnys goal
i love that chant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTnbqOT3Yho&
i loved the singing from start to finish
felt like an away game
the 12th man was unreal
united will score 1 arsenal wont score 3
Yawn, it makes up for all those quiet times at the Salford Morgue. Arsenal are going to qualify anyway so sing up all you like pavarotti
I agree Scott, it was tremendous at OT last night! We’re going to need that in every game now. Fortunately our away support is as you’ve said often, fantastic! My throat hurts…
Awesome atmosphere.. We need that six, hopefully seven more times now this season!
The arsenal fans were as shit as their team, we need another performance like that next Tuesday.. Come on reds!!
so funny how lucky gunners hold their head sky high ))
it will be easier for us to score goals at the emirates because you will have to score.
you wait you silly monkeys,quiet were see,,its only 1-0 and you boys are so hyped,there better be more security for big nose this time because he wont come out alive.this game is not over!!!!!!!
last night’s atmosphere was really buzzing throughout.keep the same going at emirates
highbury = library, lol
wasnt roy keane who said you had the most prawn sandwich eaters on the planet ha ha,were gonna run you boys out of town!!!
What worries me more than your superiority in the stands, is that the Red Devils were by far the better team on the pitch. Credit to you for that, but hope we can get things together for the second leg, so don’t be too relaxed.
To be honest your away support was terrible at the emirates in the prem match. One song – ‘UNITED, UNITED…’ – and even that was only sung in the 1st 5 mins and when u scored. can’t see it being too much better
yes, the main mission of shit is to stink. keep it up.
Agree about last night’s atmosphere. But I was there for the liverpool game which we lost 1-4, we were more silent than the library. But thankfully, the fans did turn up when we win. I hope to see that when we trail or lose. Like say the spurs game, at 1-2 after the penalty, they decided to make some noise and inspire the team.
Any arsenal fans out there who have a basic grasp of english grammar?
“No said Matt, you cockney twt – WE ARE THE STRETFORD ENDERS!”
“you only sing when you’re winning” could’ve been invented for Utd fans. How is life in Croydon anyway?
dt you must not of seen liverpool beating united 4-1
the united fans sung there hearts out
Arsenal Tactics = Drab
Arsenal Players = Drab
Arsenal Fans = Drab
Emirates Stadium = Drab
Arsenal = Drab
“We are united the cock ‘o’ the north, we hate the scoursers and cockneys of course… and Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds…. we are united without any doubt…. we are the manchester boys…”
COME ON UNITED… we will score at the library… and again it will give Vida the opportunity to keep Adebuyhismumcozshesawhore in his back pocket all game again.
B E L I E V E
UNITED…..UNITED…. UNITED… UNITED…
one of the things that bothers me right now is Rooney’s yellow cards situation.

not being funny, but I heard the Arsenal songs far lounder on the TV. I realise there were more man u fans there so I can only guess they have more microphones near the away supporters. whatsmore, when was the last time you came to Arsenal and had a quiet atmosphere? whenever man u come to town Arsenal fans are bloody loud. Fergie often comments on it and how threatening he finds being at Arsenal with the crowd.
Lol when we were singing the anderson song i saw fabregass give the eye.lol
I couldnt hear the songs properly which ones did you sing? “Prawn in the USA”?, “Grandma we love you”? Any songs by that manc band, The Fall? “Surrey Seems to be the hardest word”?
gazzap,Fergie found it threatening because of the four gorilla’s sat right behind our team bench shouting shite at our team!As if we’d be threatened by your atmosphere when we play infront of the largest crowd in England every game??I went on and enjoyed every minute,loved the ‘BELIEVE’ again and the singing was fantastic as ever on the Stretford End!Don’t forget the songs for Arsene too??LOL!!
Watching the game on TV in Australia (2.30am)
Great atmosphere in the first half – brilliant
However it really did trail off in the second half. Could start to hear the Arsenal fans in the second half.
Arsenal will improve. Attacking wise,Arsenal were very poor last night (although Bendtner only needed to get that header on target to level the scores) but they will be very different at the Emirates. Add RvP to the mix as well and a much improved Cesc, Nasri and Walcott and Man U’s defence will struggle.
Mattuso you are such a comedian
i was at the emirates 2 years ago, no atmosphere whatsoevr
What are u on about Scott? I know i sang my lungs out last night. U dont go to the Emirates that often do u? So its best if u dont talk about something u know nothing about.
here come the gooners again… ive been there 3 times… and there was a piss poor atmosphere each time… honestly, not having a go… why was ur previous stadium called the libraray? my brother in law is a season ticket holder, he even admits that aresenal fans dont sing and have a very small selection of songs, that most fans dont even know…
ye come on here giving it the big i am, after ye got beaten… all the gooners wee blathering on here yesterday saying we will get an away goal etc… now its only halftime and ye are still very much in it, but tell me do u fancy that defence to keep us out for 90+ minutes?
i dont and then ye will need to score 3… niklas benders comments are pure smug arsenal.. look at me i am not even related to a footballer but we will be 100% in rome… cunt
Keane, to answer ur question. Yes, i do not think ull be able to score at the Emirates next week. And if u lot were at the Emirates against Villarreal, u wouldnt say those things about our atmosphere being piss poor.
ye have played roma (8th in serie A) and villeral (6th in la liga) hardly frightening opposistion… im sure the atmosphere will be ok for the cl game.. but our lads will have played in a lot lot lot lot more intimidating atmospheres i can ensure you that big goon…
the emirates is hardly intimidating to be fair…
Watching on TV I thought the atmosphere was fantastic, and so did all the people watching with me, including Gooners and neutrals. By the way, I think Roy Keane has been a bit misunderstood when talking about prawn sandwiches. Surely he was merely drawing attention to the superior quality of the catering at Old Trafford. Mind you, some of us prefer the good old days, when sardines were available, apart from the danger of seagull shit on the pitch.
Fuck off gooners you could hardly hear ya last night. “Arsenal, Arsenal” How boring. Have watched it since on the tv and to say you could only hear Arsenal is a fuckin joke. “Keano, there’s only one Keano”.
Lol Giles… always been a fish fingers n tommy sauce butty man myself mate.. lol…
“Being at the game, obviously I have no idea if the telly paid much attention to our singing.”
I can tell you danish TV didnt – as a matter of fact one of their reporters (some skirt who only loves spanish football) said it was fairly dull. The two commentators (both scouse bastards, one of them being Jan Mølby) didnt mention it a single time either, despite them being about to explode in their pants everytime YNWA goes around Anfield. Yes, they even thought the home support were great agianst Chelsea in the CL quarter when the scousers were only singing because Chelsea’s away fans were teasing them.
Utd totally deserved the win last night, and Almunia got to show the world how much he’s impoved. Fergie’s boys rightly favourites to go through, and its nights like last night where the stronger squad is in evedence. Gallas, Clichy, Van Persie, Rosicky were all players that would have flourished last night, but you lot have covered for the absence of Wes Brown and Hargreaves admirably.
AS for atmostphere, on the TV the away support sounded pretty loud, though it was odd listening to endless refrains of the Utd version of the Vieira song. Sounded like the home fans in the first half were hostile in an Italian or Turksih sense…boos ringing round when arsenal had the ball, which I hadn’t heard at OT before. Seems like the fans haven’t kissed and made up in the way the managers have!
The volume level at the emirates will be partly be dependent on how the game goes. If Arsenal start as well as you did last night, the place will be rocking….otherwise it could be tense and quiet….hard to predict…have been to some really quiet games and some really loud ones…..
Actually they almost always say something about the atmosphere at Old Trafford and that true for last night. I could hear you all the way in D.C.! Would have loved to been there.
I can’t believe someone called the Emirates ugly, the stadium looks amazing! Probably the best in the league, despite it being the gooners! I think for the size of our stadium, the support we bring in, we have the best atmosphere throughout the season, sure Stoke and Pompey are loud, but when you host 50 people in a dome that echos, ofcourse you’re gonna get noise! But even Pompey and Stoke don’t hold the noise all season and most fans only see it when the big teams come to their stadium and they’re on telly. I wasn’t fortunate to have a ticket for last nights game but it sounded amazing, Arsenal were pressured by our fans, you were right, there was no mention of it (well none I can recall) which is a shame ‘cuz we’re defo up in the best atmosphere bracket, just ‘cuz Anfied unite to sing one song, big deal…
I was the at the game and the atmoshpere was the best ive been to, everyone saying that the Arsenal fans were louder on the tv you are wrong, because when they were singing come on arsenal it was us who started to say f*** off arsenal f*** off arsenal, and also when they were singing arsenal arsenal arsnenal, we started to say manchester manchester manchester, we outsang them the whole match and the atmosphere was great in the east lower, non stop singing.
Old Trafford was rocking last night, the displays were great and only bitter people will deny that.
arsenal fans i honestly did not hear you once whilst i was at the match, i recorded the match though on sky and watched it again when i got back and the only thing i heard from you on the tv was the odd “arsenall arsenall arsenal” and then one “we’re by far the greatest team”, you lot as people i actually dont mind a bit of banter with you so im not saying this to wind you up but you seriously need some original chants, say whatever you like about the noise at Old Trafford but we have loads of original chants for our team/players/ex players/Manchester, any songs arsenal sing are ones that all clubs sing like ” we love (team) we do” or “we’re by far the greatest team..” you dont have any of your own chants or you just dont sing them.
red-manc? They only sing when there winning… Sing when there wiiinnnnning….
Clearly the twats that are claiming our atmosphere was rubbish last nite are just muppets who sat at home watchin it on tele, didnt hear any silence in the ground for the 90 minutes, havta say tough the away arsenal fans were alri, just their songs are un original and pure bolox!
the kop is at pitch level beside the mic’s thats why it sounds loader, all our hardcores are up in the tiers behind the goals where there are i repeat NO mic’s u scouse, setanta and sky twats…
for king George……….your grammar isn’t so great yourself
i think what you meant to say was ‘are there any Gooners out there THAT have’
not ‘WHO have’
tut tut
i think some people r dumb
really dumb
70,000 odd mancs
3,000 odd gooners
who the f**k do u think is gonna be louder!!!
as for compating OT to Anfield, i sat in the KOP for Liverpool v Man U this season and i have never heard a noise like it
and talking of away fans……didnt hear a peep from the mancs at all during the whole game that day
didnt hear a peep when they played at the emirates earlier this season either
all ur songs r rip off’s of other clubs
u sing about scousers too much
u sing about old players
and u have a daft accent
Have you ever sat in the Stretford End?
“We Are The Pride of all europe”
“From the banks of river irwell”
“Bunch of bouncing babes”
“Viva Ronaldo”
“The white Pele”
all ripped off eh? i could go on forever about all our chants, and these fantastic scousers you speak of ripped off our O’Shea chant and used it for torres, not so great are they hyped up by the media seeing as there the media darlings after years of self pity.
We sing about old players because we have legends and a great history.
you have a daft accent, and arent arrrrrd like us Mancs.
not sat in the stretford end, usually sit with the prawn sandwich brigade when i go to OT – they really know their football
im not talking about the mancunian accent……..i mean the surrey and kent accent
arsenals history is just as great if not greater than united’s. pioneers in the game of football
u better make full use of that ronaldo song, the cry baby is off in the summer
Dave – you’ve got to be the most deluded fan I’ve ever come across, which says a lot considering I drink with City fans on a regular basis.
Arsenal’s history is as great, if not greater, than United’s?
Mental.
And don’t talk like you haven’t got your own prawn sandwich brigade. For a single ticket at the Emirates you can pay as much as £94! Are you telling me the proper, knowledgeable fans are forking out close to £100 every time? Course they’re fucking not. It’s your Nick Hornbys and Piers Morgans who are taking those seats.
If people in the south would rather support a club miles away from them instead of any of the clubs in London, who does that reflect badly on? Put it this way, there aren’t any Mancs supporting Arsenal, so why so do many Londoners shun your club for ours? Maybe they haven’t heard about your superior history…?
“There go arsenal…always cheating.”
Always brings a smile when the truth is spoken by tens of thousands at the football.
