1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The way the football is played,
the sheer abundance of skills,
is just simply pure quality,
and brings so many thrills.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Strolling and passing for fun
Then letting fly with unerring eye
Like a bullet shot out of a gun
Edu is gone, and Viera too
And Mr.Campbell is right out of tune
But The Arsenal move on
building a team…
That will be at the top again soon

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 a team lacking its usual rocks
a team full of young
storming to the final
their medals nearly hung

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The back four are always solid,
Kolo Toure leads the way,
Cole uses his pace to perfection,
and Lauren never has a bad day.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The midfield is full of passion,
Gilberto takes control,
Pires has his maturity,
and Ljungberg’s always on a roll!

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 We’re strong down the middle, with Fabregas and co,
From box to box in 10 seconds, just watch them go,
Thierry’s amazing, with a smile on his face,
He gets the ball, and moves with blistering pace.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The strikers say it all,
as Henry grabs his goals,
Bergkamp with his experience,
and the whole team with their heart and souls.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Juventus, Ajax and Real Madrid
all the greats went falling
now Barcelona will be brushed aside..
come on GUNNERS your destiny is calling

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 The encouragement is phenominal,
the crowd is behind us all the way,
the players know we must succeed,
if we are to CONQUER the Champions League’s final day.
