It's got such a weird, manufactured 'atmosphere', from that awful anthem, to the embarrassing club-provided tifo they rolled out last season in the Champions League.
It just feels all so sanitised and unnatural, like when an insurance company uses memes to appeal to the kids.

It's exactly that.
It's like a marketing assistant's idea of what it means to support a football club.
Not content with fleecing supporters and monetising everything, clubs are now attempting to produce their own fan culture with predictable results.

A bit manufactured it may be, but I actually like it. Everyone gets involved and it’s simple to sing with passion. In my opinion it knocks the socks off our embarrassing Edward Ebineezer - which sounds more like a Chas & Dave cockney knees-up.

You've got to be joking. It's saccharine nonsense.
EEJB is brilliant. And it means something. Commissioned by the Cobbolds!

End of the day though, it was released in 2024 by Arsenal fan Louis Dunford.
We have the most prolific song writer of the current generation as part owner of the club but if he wrote something everyone would pan it, call it naff and push back - so you can't win really.

You're wrong mr! I love it cos it mentions Chapel Market, so neah. Gets me very emotional.
Also, I could be wrong, but i thought this song was adopted organically, albeit first online by fans. Then the club jumped on it.
Indeed. LD never wrote it as a football song, so in no way is it manufactured for the modern game. Of course, as a lad from Islington, he's happy with what the song has become.

That's it! if you listen to the verse's it's about more than football and actually quite poetic / Billy Braggish:
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa
They’ve got three songs and the other two are both variations of ‘Arsenal, Arsenal…’. It has to be one of the dullest grounds in the UK. Although architecturally it’s impressive of course.
I remember travelling up from South London on the tube with an Arsenal supporting pal to go to a game. He was bleating on about North London being superior to South London and using that song to depict the Eden that is NL. We got out at Highbury and Islington and someone was defecating on the Costa opposite the station :)

I once saw an elderly man wearing nothing but a tutu take a crap on the corner of Garys Inn Road. No one batted an eyelid.

I like EEJB, but always struck me as a terrace song, not a whole ground rousing anthem. Too fast and too many words. Ed Sheeran needs to write us a proper club anthem to be sung on 94 mins when we're winning.
Or is there already an appropriate song in his discography? Lots of folk don't like his music, but might make an exception for a new song pitched as for ITFC.

I like it, it was organic at first but the club picked it up afterwards and ran with it
I was in a couple of Arsenal pubs before our game with them last year, and when it came on all the fans loved it and belted it out - and from ones I spoke to (a number were relatives) it was more from the era post Wenger, Emery, when Arteta led them back to being one of the top teams fighting for titles rather than just below that level, and at this point these fans were already getting frustrated that the 'glory hunters' were back opposed to those who will come whether they are first 1st, 11th or worse

Club organised waving of giant flags whenever a goal is scored also does my head in. In fact no decent football ground should even have enough space between the stands behind the goal and pitch for these people to stand in.

"Club organised waving of giant flags whenever a goal is scored" - Narwich are the worst for officially-sanctioned celebration with their dire samba song blaring through the PA after every goal. Its like they don't think the crowd are aware a goal has been scored and need prompting. Apart from the forced-celebration aspect, it makes the silence among home fans when away team score especially deathly. Maybe I'm giving Norwich fans too much credit, and they actually **are** too stupid to understand when a goal for their team has been scored - makes more sense now.

I'd love us to have an equivalent to that! Always lend my voice to EEJB but I don't see how it could ever evolve into something that stirs the passions, mockney jingle that it be. Unique to us and raises an eyebrow when sung, great things, but built with a very low ceiling sadly.
