Giroud: Let me die for you lovely Arsenal fans

And now for something a bit more upbeat…because let’s be honest, being miserable all the time is fucking hard work.

Olivier Giroud likes the song we sing for him. You know the one; the rousing epic chorus of the Beatles’ ‘Hey Jude’ with ‘Girooooud’ cunningly swapped in at the end.

It’s lovely, probably one of the best chants we’ve had at the Emirates for a while in fact, and the Frenchman agrees.

Speaking to Arsenal Player, the Gallic goal stallion extraordinaire revealed: “I’m a striker and a striker needs to have a good atmosphere.

“You have to keep confident. The atmosphere around you and the support of fans, it makes me feel better and better. I feel very emotive and proud to play for Arsenal.

“When I heard the fans’ song [for me]… when I came here for the first time, I heard this song and it made me want to die on the pitch for the fans.”

Great stuff from Giroud, although given we’ve plenty players dying on the treatment room table, we hope he’s speaking hyperbolically.

We also hope he scores a hat trick of overhead kicks this weekend before returning home to finish up work on a human centipede comprising of Piers Morgan, Stuart Robson, John Terry and Robbie Savage’s hair.

Will never forget the smile on his face when he pulled up at the lights outside the Tollington and all the gooners outside the pub sang it to him.

goon

You record it?

Wrighty's Gold Tooth

I’m afraid I was so swept up in the moment that all I could do was sing at him and neglected to capture it on film.

Hudson Hornet

He does not deserve a song.

Hartson was better.

Red and White Stripey Socks

No……..your better of alive and far more useful!
le coq should be the only stiff in the Arsenal team!

rossi88

you better score saturday : /
…please?

Fellonious

He will Giroud his best as always, but just sagna his name ox to help. Fuck that’s lame, but its early.

John

Ohhh Olly Giroud, He’s a striker, He’s pretty tall.
He’s plays upfront for Arsenal with Cazorla in the hole.
Santi plays it wide, Walcott crosses for a goal.

I thought it was catchy.. haha

Dr Baptiste

Well done?

ThaatArsenalGuy

encouragement?

Smudger

Giroud’s in the middle
With his HFB glow
Gervinho with the cross…
Oh it’s gone out for a throw

Danno

Me thinks you should keep working at it!

Midfield Corporal

Chamakh dies on the pitch every week, and he doesn’t even have a song. (My version of The Prodigy’s ‘Chamakh my Bitch Up’ never caught on unfortunately)

Nick

someone needs to shoot that thing on top of his head. I think it’s a hairdo but I’m not sure!

Des

It’s a dead black bird (crow)

Harish

Whatever it is, i fear its maintenance raises the debt.

Mikel Artekkers

Au contraire my good friend, Chamakh does have a song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqUtkYNI2xI
He’s not white,
He’s not black,
He comes from a place not far from Iraq,
He’s got shit hair and he plays in attack,
He’s our main man,
Marouane Chamakh!

Midfield Corporal

I think we ditched that when A-Marouanes form went down the toilet, and B, we realised Morocco was actuLly quite a long way from Iraq. 🙂

Mikel Artekkers

Yeah, but I don’t think anyone marks fan chants for Geography.

Gooneralex

Naaaa, NaaaaaNaaaaa, NaNaNaNaaaa, NaNaNaNaaaaaa GIROUUUDD!

Alex

Hey there, Oli Giroud,
We’re so pleased to be with you
Score some goals see what you do
Ev’rybody sings for you

Patrick

“goal stallion extraordinaire” seriously???

andre santos

Nice work you gays.

THEREISBEARCUM

Just makes you wonder – would Arshavin still be playing like it was 2009 if he’d had a decent song?

Nick

Someone needs to sing “Back in the USSR” for AA23. Maybe that will inspire him to move on.

srbistuta

Shame it never happened, but here goes nothing:
Aaaaaanrei-Ar-sha-vin, Ar-sha-vin, For – the -win in the chorus of

Get one soon for Sagna may be? Fights like a warrior always.

pattygooner

@artetas hair gel, that was an old song! sadly he didnt make it up on a whim in a comment lol. i had it in fifa 11 since you can upload chants to them!

Glenn Helder

To the tune of The Shaman’s Ebeneezer Goode:

Arshavin, Arshavin!
He’s Andrey Arshavin!
Arshavin, Arshavin!
He’s Andrey Arshavin!

lovelyass

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…. zooo zweeeeeeeett!!!!

AledoBren

Looks lie the club is getting the players out saying the right things to get the fans back onside. If it improves the atmosphere, and then our results, then great.

At least it is all positive PR which is something we desperately need.

Up The Arse’.

Kiran

*swoon*
Such a melodramatic man

The oX

I want giroud to do well!!! Hes got that something special that makes any football fan like him…

Indigooner

The guy’s attitude and work rate are exceptional. You deserve that chant Giroud.

Crevzyyy

Love the work Giroud puts in for the team. Needs another type of striker to compliment him, not replace him, in January.

meh

Full marks for thinking up a brilliant use of Piers Morgan – but can he be in the middle of the centipede? What a wonderful image that is…

Mikel Artekkers

With the Robbie Savage hair stuffed in his mouth.

Judith Le'Strange

We don’t want him to die for Arsenal just start scoring a few more goals along with Podolski and Cazorla and Walcott and after watching our wasteful game against Olympiakos the other day Gervinho and Chamakh need to be shipped out.

Paul McCartney

It’s nothing like Hey Jude!

uddeep

Here, my fellow gooners we have a bollywood song called. …….. CHAMAKH CHALLO worth a few views

Murukesh

The song is horrible… Ah,now I see the connection. 😛 (Indian here)

uddeep

Sorry if i scarred someones retina

Goon Goon Goon

Whether its a PR thing or not, it’s still nice to see that type of thing. Ignorance is bliss an’ all that! You can see he likes the club so fair doos to him. Roll on the weekend

Pele of Romford

Stewart Robson is a cunt.

arsenalftw

bin laden was a cunt too, he was an arsenal supporter. Why those our club attracts cunts??

TeeCee

By sheer coincidence, I just read this:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/colinfreeman/100192997/arsenal-fans-in-somali-caves-the-global-monoculture-of-premier-league-football/

Very amusing. Particularly as when he’s talking about the “global brands” of football, not once does he mention Citeh.

Arteta's Hair Gel

f**k bin laden…one less wart on the ass of society…and thats a myth started by sp*rs scum….

Matt Jarvis' Uncle

Oh my, he sure know’s how to butter up a fan.

Arsene I'm leaving soon

Before I leave I will make sure I sell all the best players as I get a bigger bonus. I know I talk a lot about money it’s because I love it. I’m getting old so this will be my last jan window where I sell Sagna and Walcott our last two sellable players grab my bonus whilst also getting the sack to appease fans. The money I get on selling Sagna and theo pays for my sacking. Sorry we r so shit now but I was only ever in it for the money like the current board. Bye guys… Read more »

i prefer “buy guys arsene”

Come on...

Why do people even bother to reply or thumb down these people, it’s literally giving them the attention they want. Just read the post, realise that any person who comes onto a blog to be inflammatory probably has issues with his mother and move on.

arsenalftw

Finally an arsenal player that loves the club…

Sol4real

Out of topic here but is it not funny that arseblog choose not to publish the Tom fox story when almost all publications have, maybe he has a good reason why he did not I would sure be glad to here it

The Loving Hands of Wenger

Because it’s miserable out-of-context garbage spun like a fucking washing machine sock in an earthquake – the kind of nugget of shit that Le Grave readers, over their morning egg and chips, swarm over like flies.

Fatgooner

Bollocks. Tom Fox’s comments are extremely important – they sum up precisely what’s wrong at the club right now. Arsenal Football Club is now owned and run by a bunch of shysters and con men. Their only concern is how much money they can squeeze out of the naive and ignorant fools who still think that we are a proper football club.

By refusing to invest anywhere near the funds necessary to make a decent title challenge they have condemed us to failure before a ball is even kicked every season.

I’m just surprised that Fox has been so honest.

Sol4real

I do share your views but I have to disagree with you, the only reason arsenal have had any success with the marketing arm is not because we have made the champions league 14 times but because of the invincible, because of the league we won and the fa cups the league cups and getting to fight for the title year in and year out, getting to the final of the champions league, because of the beautiful football we used to play, that’s why our fan base grew that’s why we have companies falling over us to sign deals with… Read more »

So………. West Brom on Saturday? I like football. This other shit is lame. Wake me up for kick off.

The Loving Hands of Wenger

Grioud is definitely a nice player to have but for me he’s basically a sweet back up. We should have an Henry type up there with G-Rude deputising.

Re. songs for Arshavin, it’s too late now, but something around Boney M’s Rasputin would have been good. Ra ra Arshavin, Russia’s greatest goal machine… Etc etc… Repeat to fade! Ah well. Sure the Scousers would have seized on that!
