The weekend kicked off last Friday’s cold afternoon with the unveiling of not one, not two but three Arsenal erections. The exciting erections are part of Arsenal’s 125th anniversary celebration and they are of Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry. Titi was overcome by emotions and the experience left him tearful. It was all done nicely – the Arsenal way, but of course. Very classic of good old Arsenal.
The anniversary celebration continued with the home match against Everton on Saturday. Legends and erstwhile heroes were invited to share in the celebrations that started long before kick-off. It was a frustrating first half and I was beginning to wonder if the curse of Cesc’s tweet had struck again. Either that or the players were distracted by the pre-match celebrations. And then came the one moment of quality – pure Arsenal quality of course. Eight players were involved in the build-up to the goal which was delivered by Robin in such class. And what more fitting to win the match with a ‘One-nil to The Arsenal’ chants. That was how the match ended and it was enough to propel us into the Champions League spot for the first time this season. Well, at least until later tonight when Chelshit meet Man Shitty. The neutrals will call it a match where Old Money meet New Money but this Gooner will call it a match where Old Twat meets New Twat.
The kit worn on Saturday. Classy old Arsenal
Rambo’s boots. Classy bloke!
Classy volley!
Now we can have that ball after all. Get the party started!
