OK.... I'm going to spell out a few home truths here.... special snowflakes like thehoof should probably head off and read the Guardian. We can say what we want about Arsenal fans, but I'll tell you one thing they are.... UNITED. They are united in their utter hatred of Stoke City, Stoke City fans, Ryan Shawcross and anything else associated with our football club. When it comes to matchday, if Stoke City are the opposition, then anything goes. Comments about 'kicking' pregnant women are acceptable, utterly despicable remarks about Stoke fans are acceptable, and calls for Ryan Shawcross to be dead are not only acceptable, but are encouraged. They are completely united in their hatred of Stoke City, and for that alone, they are one upping us here. Ryan Shawcross is a family man, a married man, he has children. He once made a mistake in a football match, a mistake that has followed him around for 6 years and for that single mistake, Arsenal fans will happily chant "Ryan Shawcross, we wish you were dead" along with various other awful awful chants. This a man with children. They really want his kids to grow up without a daddy? They want his wife to be left widowed, all because he once made the mistake of injuring one of their special little players (who btw has gone on to be a far better player than before?) As a fanbase, they are totally united in wanting the worst fate to befall Ryan Shawcross, this comment took 5 seconds to find on their forum, I just scrolled back through their current thread: www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1336954#p1336954Yet OUR supporters are not united at all. Vis Unita Fortior? When fucknuggets like spitthedog are ready to flog our own supporters for, let's be honest, one of the dumbest chants we've ever come up with. Can I remind you, that Aaron Ramsey as a professional athlete, not only runs faster than anyone on this forum, but runs further distance, plays football at a significantly higher level and is no doubt quite capable of walking without a limp. It's a stupid chant and even when taken at face value it's completely pathetic. A broken leg doesn't result in a failure to ever walk again, not that you'd fucking know it if you take the media's view on it. They are quick to tear shreds into our support and for some reason, we have own set of fans hell-bent on destroying this once strong and solid fanbase. Ramsey himself is only partly to blame for his sycophantic actions with regards to the media. He does enjoy bringing it up at every possible opportunity and describing it as the worst thing that could happen to someone on a football pitch. As an educational experience for Aaron, I've got a really good idea. I think Aaron "it's the worst thing that can happy on a football pitch, even though Muamba had a heart attack about two weeks ago" Ramsey should meet a few war vets from Iraq and Afghanistan. Men and women without arms, men and women without legs. People horrifically injured, who will never live a normal life again. He walks with a limp does he? Some of these men can't walk at all, and yet he continues to talk about his injury as some kind of life threatening incident. It wasn't Aaron and if you're so thin skinned that a poxy chant, by people who earn significantly less than you, hurts your feelings that much, maybe you should see the kind of injuries men who are paid significantly less than you, suffer in the line of fire and conflict. Here's another home truth. I spoke of nothing being off limit with Arsenal fans.... and you do realize why? For Stoke fans, seeing Arsenal fuck up and lose the title is probably the line in-which our dislike of Arsenal and their odious fanbase ends. On the other hand, they really would stop at nothing to see us wiped off the face of the earth and I genuinely mean that. This isn't me being all 'victimy' or crybaby, this is simply pointing out a genuine fact. The fact they hate us that much doesn't bother me at all, but at the same time, having our own fans seemingly support Arsenal in this very bitter relationship is not a good thing. To put it into context, it wouldn't surprise me if a petition is started in a few days to see Stoke kicked out of the football league and into oblivion. Now I know such a daft petition is not legally enforceable, but you can be sure that it would be signed by thousands and thousands of Arsenal fans. It demonstrates the contempt they have for us and our fanbase. And the irony of it all? While they're offended by a pathetic and pointless chant aimed at a professional athlete, it's fair game to mock disabled children who support Stoke: www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1336700#p1336700Not a word condemning those views by the way, it's alright, I've already done the searching through. ........................and yet we have fans like spitthedog who are seemingly on a mission to divide this fanbase. If you want to support Arsenal then by all means, hop in the car and head down to London, you will not be missed. 110% bang on, thank you for writing what I couldn't be bothered to say. Brilliant post, any abuse of that scum club and it's bottom-feeding c*nt supporters and players is fair game.

The paranoid amongst us might ask why it's getting so much attention when far worse stuff is sung and never even mentioned anywhere? It's fashionable to hate anything that goes against the massive Arsenal support The media bandwagon has to beat it with a shitty stick because A) it's Stoke fans so it's easy to do and B) Arsenal fans will lap it up, they'll click or tune in to anything related to it We sung a song about a pro player, who was fighting fit and running around in front of us having a fucking limp, we did not chant about ISIS, it's a fucking joke that the media have all jumped on it

It was a poor chant in poor taste imo - I didn't join in. It played right into their hands with their agenda that we are ignorant thugs.
That said - the London biased media overreaction and the arsenal fans hypocritical, self righteous, indignation is a disgrace in itself.

He walks with limp. The most disgusting, vile, inappropriate song I have ever heard sung at Stoke. I know the history, I know he has refused to accept an apology, but this was completely unnecessary, in my opinion. Nothing wrong in booing him, but this was just gutter level. Rant over. Worse than Munich chants? Behave, it's Arsenal. They're fair game.

Most other clubs (even the Shit) could be goaded without much repercussion; as soon as it's the online Arsenal Twitter army involved though, we're now the absolute worst thing in the world, alongside cancer, asbestos, North Korea and (ironically) Piers Morgan. Fuck 'em. We revel in it, even if the chant in question was a little tasteless.

Everyone needs to get a c*nting grip!
He broke his leg playing a contact sport which includes a lot of use of legs and is getting a chant regarding that leg break chanted at him by a set of opposition supporters, does he walk with a limp? No, is it really that much of a big deal? What on earth is all the fuss about? I genuinely do not understand, he is fine, career is going great same as the lad who was involved in the incident.
What I'm trying to say, long winded, is get a grip the lot of you!

Wow, this thread plunges the Oakcake into a new low. Arguing with each other over a stupid, but mildly offensive song? The real issue at work of course, is Wenger diverting attention from his title contenders failing to beat Stoke again and ending up second best as the game progressed and him throwing in the laughable 'physical' card again. The media have of course complied and ran with this non story instead of the real one.

None of that shit happened at all. They certainly didn't call for Adebayor to be shot.... nope not at all. Media says so. Nor do the hiss noises that a large majority of Arsenal fans continue to make at WHL. Nor did the Arsenal fans calling Robin Van Persie a rapist. Nor do Arsenal fans sing Munich chants when they play Man Utd. Nor do Arsenal fans sing Hillsborough chants when they play Liverpool. Nope, none of this happens.

You didn't imagine it, just most media outlets would be bombarded with utter hatred and probably worse from their hoards of twitter based cunt fans for showing Arsenal in a negative light, Arsenal fans tearing White Hart Lane up got less media coverage than Stoke's chant, some outlets even made jokes about "Arsenal fans just helping Spurs move piece by piece"

The Arsenal fans simply didn't have the basis, following on from yesterday's tame match, to fawn over or shout venomous abuse at their beloved overpaid pansies, so what do they do? What they're best at - making sure their club always gets positive attention, one way or another.

I can't believe the reaction to this both in the media and on here, it's just a slightly distasteful chant, nothing more,nothing less, if it was something really offensive I could understand but for that This is what I have heard sung and class as offensive :- Liverpool and others to Utd "who's that dying on the runway" Various to Spurs "Spurs are on their way to Belson,Hitler's gonna gas 'em again" Utd to Liverpool "without killing anyone, we've won it 3 times" Us to Blues "Cisse's family's at the bottom of the sea" "Tracey Andrews is our friend,she kills blues fans" I could list loads more and worse than what I have but my point is its a lot of hot air over nothing really, he don't limp, he don't seem bothered about it, move on because its definitely not worth you lot falling out among yourselves over it !

Thats fine, and I completely agree, if the match had have actually swung either way it would be a different debate this morning however my point still stands. If it was only the Arsenal fans having a "moment" over the chant I'd understand because we know what they are like as a fanbase, however it's not just them, the large portion of fans from our own fan-base are completely confusing me as to why they are getting all in a twist about it.

^^Very true. Personally, it's a non-issue. I think the over-reaction from the Arse fans has put a couple of our own fans on edge, and has subsequently turned in a competition of "my morals are better than yours". Let's look forward to Saturday's match, against another (albeit far less deplorable) title-chasing team

You are so right staffs. What nobody gets is that our gripes with that cuntstain of a club runs so much deeper than what meets the eye. The power that that club holds over the media, as a result of the hoardes of vermin that infect every corner of social-media, is what causes a relatively innocuous incident like this to somehow dominate the sports pages. Once again the reputation of our club is being desecrated and the hypocrisy is overwhelming. Would this incident have even received any attention if it was between Stoke City and Aston Villa? This isn't about Aaron Ramsay, it runs so much deeper than that but yet again it is the reputation of our club that will take the beating whilst that oligarchal deformity of a club and their festering droves will milk this as if they are somehow victims. I'm a rational man and I feel this way about no other club, not even the few clubs with similar "political" sway to arsenal, but when I think about that slimy cancer of a football club I become engulfed with a visceral hatred that shocks me to the core. I wish them nothing but the worst things.

It was 100% perfect tackle. The aftermath was an accident that had other factors. Benders tug and Ramsey getting his studs caught being two of them Well, tbh, it's the least important thing here. History, the media and everyone else outside of Stoke has decided that Ryan was fully in the wrong and it was intetional. Arsenal fans are quite happy for him to be lynched like that guy out of that film 'Hang Em High'. My opinion has always been it was a 50/50 and Ryan went in for the ball but it just went terribly wrong. I'm not sure about the Bendtner tug but I do agree that when you look at Ramsey's foot, it's fully planted and his studs seem to prevent movement. In the past, a tackle like that would have resulted in Ramsey flying 6 foot in the air, but no real injury. With his studs planted like that, there was simply nowhere for his leg to go, which meant it took the full force of the tackle. Not Ramsey's fault, but not entirely Ryan's either, simply an accident. They won't accept that though.

If you review the tackle on youtube, Bendtner petulantly takes a double swipe at Ryan's ankles from behind (no intention to win the ball, just sheer petulance), not only slowing him down but forcing Ryan to readjust his feet. Without the foul by Bendtner Ryan almost certainly would've won the ball cleanly. I could sit here and argue that Bendtner is actually culpable, but if this had happened to any other club but arsenal we wouldn't be sat here 6 years later discussing this, it would've been long buried in the past. I don't even remember who broke Delap's leg and I don't care. Look at the class with how Man United dealt with Shaw's injury, calls from the management for forgiveness to the PSV player, and that's arguably the only other club in England with comparative media-influence. Then consider that these slimy arsehole cunts have the gall to constantly accuse others of being classless.
