“Audacious: Arsenal Fans Stir Controversy by Adopting Beloved Liverpool Chant”
“Shameless: Arsenal Fans Caught Hijacking Another Iconic Liverpool Chant”
Liverpool and Arsenal have endured a largely uninspiring title race this season, with Liverpool maintaining a commanding lead over their so-called competitors for most of the campaign.
As Liverpool’s early coronation looms, with Mikel Arteta’s squad expected to perform a guard of honour at Anfield, Arsenal supporters have found a peculiar way to acknowledge the Reds’ dominance.
Rather than crafting their own original chants, something Liverpool fans are renowned for, Arsenal’s fanbase has opted to repurpose a song sung for Luis Díaz over the past few seasons. Adjusting the lyrics, they now sing: “His name is Gabi, he’s from Sao Paulo and he plays for Arsenal.”
This isn’t the first time Arsenal fans have taken inspiration from Liverpool chants, having previously co-opted ‘Allez, Allez, Allez.’ It’s disheartening to see a club with such a rich fanbase and storied history resort to borrowing tunes instead of creating something unique.
This latest instance only highlights the lack of originality among Arsenal supporters.
Liverpool fans have long been known for their passionate and creative chants, and while we didn’t write the original ‘Bella Ciao,’ it’s undeniable that our version for No.7 has become a standout anthem in the modern Premier League.
Despite constant criticism from rivals who claim they dislike us, it’s amusing how often other fanbases look to us for inspiration—proof that our supporters are unmatched in the country.
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans in London continue to grumble about injuries, yet they don’t hesitate to highlight how superior Liverpool is, not just on the pitch but in spirit and creativity.
