A loss hangs heavy

mood akin to grief

I’m a bag of nerves

every game a ‘must win’ game

Skat’s challenge

Gunners misfiring

adding squeaky bumminess

to every fixture

.

by Scooj

Thank you Skat for the challenge – not an easy phrase to incorporate into the short format. I fear every Arsenal game from now until the end of the season will be filled with such squeaky bumminess, but they seem to be rising, just about, to the challenge. Of course, as a lifelong fan, I am preparing for disappointment.

Hoarse, again

Vocal cords work out
