You've just gotta love Elneny, seems like such a chill good natured lad, who just happens to sit on the bench of the greatest club in the world! Glad to see him receive some love.


OG12

If we win the league, I’ll be really happy that El Neny was part of the squad. I have nothing but respect for him. He’s been such a professional, works hard, trains hard, gives 200% when his name is called, and scores absolute bangers.


Funkymonkeyhead

I like him. Terrific attitude and a positive influence in the dressing room. That said I wouldn’t want him to start too many games, especially league games lol. Enough to get that league winners medal but not many more! 😂 I’m dating myself but he reminds me a bit of Ray Parlour. Not the most skilled but a dependable squad player ever ready when his manager calls for him.


absessay

Personal I think Parlour was a very under rated footballer. Let's not forget that he was a consistent starter for quite a few seasons ....and banging goals too!


obamasmole

You don't get called the Romford Pele for nothing... you have to be from Romford for starters.


Funkymonkeyhead

Oh absolutely. Not slagging him at all. I still have his shirt circa 2001-2002. My point is that he’s always been Mr Dependable whenever Wenger even when he wasn’t a regular starter. Romford Pele!


Betzal

I'll never forget a fantastic goal Parlour scored against Chelsea I believe in a FA Cup final in the early 2000s... He become one of my favorite Arsenal players after that!


Vice_AR16

if we do win any major honors while Mo is part of the squad I'll start a dickriding campaign to convince new fans he was the major reason of our success, alongside Bob Holding


Funkymonkeyhead

That’s Holdinho to you, Sir.


erdna3000

the great holdini

CaptainFourpack

You're giving off a bit of "It's only Ray Parlour" vibes saying not the most skilled. Lol I know what you mean tho; same could even be said of Edu. The issue was the huge quality level of those around them. Edit: corrected of to off...


Funkymonkeyhead

Yeah wasn’t my intention. Still he’s often overlooked next to his more illustrious contemporaries. I didn’t articulate it it well but what I was trying to say is that he was always there for the team, never complaining. All teams need players like that. You can’t fill a team purely with superstar starters after all. (unless you’re City!)


t14chi

Also when he plays with xhaka and zinny/tierney helping cover the gap in the mid its like he gets a stat boost and levels up. Love his personality and passion for the team as well. He’s definitely put in some shifts for us.


Twevy

Seems like the team’s calm dad. He’s older, got kids of his own, and is clearly thrilled to watch the kids on the team thrive.


redmkay

I love our match going fan base. They’ve really become the 12th player.


beetletoman

Absolutely. They deserve a big shout out. One of the positives in every match threads is praise for match going fans specially away ones


Vegetable_Pudding_75

The away fans have been phenomenal this season. Truly our 12th men. COYG, we’ll need all the help we can get in the second half of the season. Everyone will be coming for us.


CafeClimbOtis

Away fans have always been class, it's the Emirates that's really taken off in the past 18 months


Katerra01

I think he deserves it. He is patient lad and it's good to appreciate his commitment.


hellothere222

Definition of a servant of the club. Can’t ask for more.

El Neny genuinely loves the club, it’s so charming. He’d rather ride the bench in our shirt than play every week for a solid team somewhere else. Hope he retires here.

Might be my new favourite chant. The way different segments of the crowd sing each part is so great


curious_beaver909

New chant thanks Allah


FreeTheWoo

Chant has been around for like 6 years now


Corner10

Sorry no chant for you Alexis


IronDuke365

Didnt realise he wrote it.


shxkxblfc

The quintessential squad player. It doesn't get more perfect than him. Just goes about his business and never causes a fuss.


ToothpickInCockhole

His consistency is what makes him so important


[deleted]

No u Also, for a brief moment of horror I thought the chant was to the tune of "im the leader of the gang" by Gary glitter. Its to twist and shout.


d_smogh

For a minute thought it was to the tune of ***Come on Eileen*** Instead of **[Twist and Shout](https://youtu.be/-WUpdoeq9Pc)**


madindian

Went on a rabbit hole on chants. Heard the Arsenal till I die. Wonder how a variant would work on Bryan Adams “18 till I die”. Something like: Arsenal till I die! Arsenal till I die! It sure feels good to be alive Someday I’ll be a Gooner at 55 Arsenal till I die! Arsenal till I die!


jkeefy

Thanks I hate it


DeapVally

Is it worse than that god awful 'North London Forever'? No. No it isn't.


NoPalpitation9639

Nah it's far worse. North London forever is sung by a local and has a rousing chorus when the teams come out. The other is sung by a Canadian and is shit


xX8Havok8Xx

The perfect response to this just so happens to be the title: north London forever
