Twenty two great years

a shared love of the Gunners;

go well Arsene (al).

  • on the not entirely unexpected news that Arsene Wenger will be leaving My beloved Arsenal Football Club at the end of the season. As one who remembers some dire football before he arrived, I cannot thank him enough. The pride of North London.

Break times spent contained

in ‘the pen’. You lot are Spurs

we’ll be The Arsenal.

It’s not the losing

that hurts; it is the manner

in which it is lost.

AFC 2 – MCFC 1

 

We score, the crowd roars;

behind, ‘potty-mouth’ curses

for the entire game.

Long day

Pancakes, cinema,

weekly shopping, watch the match,

tacos and haiku
