The
2019-2020 football season has been a disappointing one for Arsenal Football
Club. With 24 league games played exactly half have been drawn, with six
victories and six defeats. But Arsenal fans are encouraged that new manager
Mikel Arteta may be getting a grip on the players, and better times may be on
the way. The team showed spirit in snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat in
the twenty-fourth game, which inspired me to write this poem!
The season
of nineteen to twenty
Has seen
Gunners’ moans a-plenty.
“The
football’s a bore,
There’s draw
after draw,
And the
trophy cabinet’s empty.”
We started the
season with Unai,
Who raised up
our hopes so sky-high.
He brought
in some new names,
We won the
first two games
And he made
us think that we could fly.
But then it
all started to slide,
Were the
players just there for the ride?
If we
managed to score
It’d still be
a draw,
Have these players
not got any pride?
Unai left
and they then gave us Freddie
Who just
didn’t seem to be ready
To fire up
the team
To a point
they could win;
The defence
just still wasn’t steady.
So Arteta
took over the reins,
And suddenly
there seemed to be gains.
We won
against Man U
And won in
the Cup, too;
Might there
just be an end to the pains?
Then the
challenge of Chelsea away –
Too rarely
an enjoyable day.
All seemed
to be lost
As we
counted the cost
As Luiz was
sent on his way.
But suddenly
the players showed fight!
And the
tackles began to have bite.
A great goal,
Martinelli!
(I watched
on the telly)
And better
days may be in sight!
