1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Quality, class, power and pace,
Arsenals my tip, in the championship race,
The football you play, is two-touch and neat,
It makes me sit on the edge of my seat.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 What a fantastic job that the gaffer has done,
He’s turned you into a world-class team, second to none,
You used to have a ‘boring’ tag, but you took no offence,
And recognized that all great teams are built on a solid defence.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 When the press comes calling, and we’re all chewing the fat,
Arsene, with a bit of cheek, says “I did not see that”,
I’m Birmingham City though, through and through, a Blue till I die,
But I watch in wonderment with a glint in my eye.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 You’re strong down the middle, with Fabregas and co,
From box to box in 12 seconds, just watch them go,
Thierry’s amazing, with a smile on his face,
He gets the ball, with blistering pace.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 So with great individuals, you still play as a team,
I’m 39 years old and you’re the best side that I’ve seen,
But great teams, win great cups, but every year Europe slips away, Ben But now Henry has a say!
