Lol not really.. Other teams have many many chants. This was something I picked up on ages ago. Although who needs hundreds of chants ? but Arsenals basically consist off
And Its Arsenall F.C
or
Arsenal Arsenal Arsenall.
Thats all I generally hear when watching Arsenal.
Whats wrong with that ?

Amazing, Arsenal get criticised for not singing much and when they do sing, they still manage to get criticised. I don't think most teams have many different chants, most of what you hear is similar chants from different sets of fans adapted to suit there club of preference.
No, you can't. When I go to a game, I like to hear a range of chants. Every Arsenal chant seems to consist of the generic "Arsenal FC" one which every football club in Britain seems to have, and also just chanting "Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal". That, or chanting the name of a player.
Can't vouch for any other clubs, but for Villa and Palace there are a whole range of different chants. The John Carew, Moustapha Salifou, Ashley Young, Jean Makoun, Albrighton chants... it goes on. Likewise for Palace with the Darren Ambrose and Steffen Iversen chants.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that we don't have many team chants but what's the big deal? All it shows is we are uncreative lyricists, which has NOTHING to do with Football or passion.
I can hardly believe I'm reading this as a criticism.

Note that I didn't say anything about football nor passion. I merely said I tired of Arsenal's chants, which I did. I found it repetitive. This has nothing to do with the atmosphere, which from what I can gather was great, nor football, nor passion.
All just want to pick faults in Arsenal for some strange reason :S
thats footie fans for you lol. jealous maybe

If you read my other post though and don't just pickout one that you can reply and say I'm criticising...
Read the bold.

I'm only pointing out some simple facts that answered Callums question.
Just like to point out some stats:
According to Orbinho (Arsenal Opta on twitter), 333 of Barca’s passes were in their own half. That’s 44% of all their passes, and seeing how high their defensive line was, to even get more than 30% in your own half is quite the achievement.
Barca made 650 odd passes or so, 416 of them were sideways, 139 were backwards.
That's what everyone has called Barca dominating the game..

Uh... to be fair to Barca, most of their game involves sideways passing, ball retention. First stat is impressive for Arsenal though.
but there is still a lot of aggressive passing, and the sideways passing tends to be a lot futther up the pitch, barca were having tp create from very deep
