In terms of Arsenal, they need some God Save the Queen played.

They will play the Champions League theme,

As to the point being discussed. Who the hell cares what other countries do before sporting events? We play the National Anthem and have since long before anyone debating this issue ever drew breath. As has been shown, you are not required to stand, if you choose to not take the opportunity provided to show respect to your Nation no one will require you to do so. 

I give less than a damn if India sings God Save the Elephant before their cricket matches, we play the National Anthem; hell, we used to do it before a lot more things. You can stand or you can sit. Anyone,outside of uniformed military (and I don't think they complain), has the right to sit.
