Looking at the table and seeing @totsfan at the bottom makes me realise we've lost another poster from way back. Hope it's just temporary.
This ain't gonna be easy, but I reckon we ought to have the edge. Just. Late night rewrite of Blondie classic from 1977. Can you identify the five Arsenal players referred to? Late posting - I had another song prepared but Wednesday's result made it inappropriate! So had to re-think............. "Rip ‘Em To Shreds" (Hey! Psst! Psst! Here they come now!) Oh, you know ONE, would you look at that stare! Yeah, you know him, check out those eyes! He looks like he stepped out of the middle of some big surprise! TWO looks like a stand-up comic! He thinks he's a superstar! His nose job is real atomic All he craves is a low crossbar! Yeah, Arsenal, come on rip ‘em to shreds! They’re so dull, come on rip ‘em to shreds! Oh, you know THREE, the Plodder Supreme - Yeah, you know him, long and slow like his name - Chasing shadows! Kane massacre! Yup! He's too much….. FOUR looks like he won't get better A case of unfulfilled dream. Speedy, but rarely a netter, Acting like a soap opera queen! Yeah, Arsenal, come on rip ‘em to shreds! They’re so dull, come on rip ‘em to shreds! FIVE’s got the nerve to tell us he's not sinning But then his attitude is too extreme: Yeah, he stirs up the fans with his singing - Always looking to create a scene. Yeah, Arsenal, come on rip ‘em to shreds! They’re so dull, come on rip ‘em to shreds! Arsenal – rip ‘em to shreds! Oh, you know Spurs, the top London team, Yeah, you know Spurs, we’re a team that won’t fade! Yeah, you know Spurs, we’re the team that will win! Arsenal?! Yeah, Arsene’s blaming the ref now! [Huh! He’s so dull!!] Yeah, there he goes now - He’s dancing ‘cos we've scored one - But it’s defeat and he’s gone! Well, bye bye Wenger - And not a minute too soon! Prediction: Spurs 3 Woolwich Wanderers 2 Scorers: Alderweireld, Eriksen, Lamela Cheers, Spurf!
In 1960/61 we had a three match sequence in March where we lost two and then drew....Most championship winning teams lose a few matches and draw a few so I imagine that lose/draw in a normal sequence.
I seem to recall we conceded 8 league goals to Burnley over two matches in the double season....and 3 points....and we gave Burnley the league title the previous year. We must learn to stop giving charity to clubs. ahem!!
