8. Lasagna-gate
This old favourite from a few years back is one of many Arsenal chants about bitter North London rivals Tottenham and refers to the infamous lasagna-gate incident at the end of the 2005/06 season. With Spurs needing a win at Upton Park to seal fourth place and Champions League football for the first time in their history, Martin Jol’s squad was struck down with food poisoning the night before the match after a indulging in a dodgy lasagne. An understrength Spurs lost 2-1 and Arsenal won the last ever match at Highbury to pip their rivals to fourth.
Naturally, the Gooners didn’t let Spurs fans forget it in a hurry as this chant illustrates.
Lasagne woo-ao
Lasagne woo-ao
We laughed ourselves to bits
When Tottenham had the shits
Lasagne woo-ao
