With regards to the Wonder of You anthem that is now played before the team arrive on the pitch, it’s a great idea, a great tune and something that could really catch on. However as usual the club have just introduced it without putting any real thought in to it.
Does everyone understand why it’s played??.. No
Does everyone know the words??... No
Does anyone actually sing along??... Not really
Come on Arsenal, it’s not rocket science, unless there’s some sort of copyright protection can't you put the words up on the big screens??
What about the cameras panning around the crowd focussing on those who are singing?
What about a chance to win a prize if you are picked out singing and your photo appears in the programme a bit like the old face in crowd?
What about the players being filmed at the training ground joining in with the Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa's in the chorus just like the old "La Di Da Di Da La Da Da Di Di all good pals etc" (does anyone remember that on the North Bank)
What about a scarf/flag waving end to the song
I seem to be the only person close to wear I sit who actually joins in. I usually get stares from those around me like I'm some sort of nutcase auditioning for the X-Factor.
It’s a real opportunity to get the players fired up, inject some atmosphere and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Come on Arsenal, put some effort in to it and you never know, you might just be surprised by the response (or not)
