These days you just about cannot turn around without someone
reminding you how long it has been since Arsenal last lifted silver. Just
recently as I took in a match down at the Factory with the NY Gooners, we had
the misfortune of having to stand next to a bunch of Chavs watching their
match. But it was the one against Southampton, so we had the good fortune of
watching them lose that match. Early
doors, TJ made a joke about Torres’ face-mask, then started be-bopping
and skatting all over it. One of the Chavs took umbrage and asked how many trophies
we had.
Historically the Arsenal sit third in terms of league titles at 13,
since you asked. And the last one, as long ago as it may seem to some narrow
minded twits, is made of gold. There’s only one such trophy in the history of
the Premier League, and it’s ours by virtue of competing for an entire season
without losing a single match. That we did so against the likes of commercial
behemoth United and oil-daddy funded Chelsea, makes that gold shine just that
much brighter. That we did it just a year after Wenger was lampooned for
claiming we could do it, even more so. Deserves a chant no? The color and winning
the league in May ties in nicely with “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.”
We won,
We won,
We won a golden trophy
We won a golden trophy in the merry month of May
And when
They asked
Why was the trophy golden
We said it’s for the Arsenal ‘cos we never lost a game
Not a game,
Not a game,
Not a game,
We won a golden trophy ‘cos we never lost a game
Not a game,
Not a game,
Not a game,
We won a golden trophy ‘cos we never lost a game
