Sung of course by the Gooners these days, usually at the conclusion of 40-pass moves. The great feature of Arsenal supporters is a strong sense of irony, it's why most of our songs are nicked off other clubs and turned against them ('One Nil to the Arsenal' being a riposte to 'Allez Paris St. Germain' from back in 1994, 'Same Old Arsenal, Taking The ****' from the Pompey Chimes etc). Singing 'Boring Boring Arsenal' when you're the most entertaining team in the country merely continues this excellent tradition. Seaman used to get a round of 'Dodgy Keeper' or more recently 'Get Your F*cking Hair Cut' most games, of course, and 'If Lee Dixon Can Play For England So Can I' was a regular. I'm sure other clubs take the **** out of themselves, but Arsenal elevate it to an art form.
