A Poetic Gunners Town GoonerDave66 End of Season Review

I didn't make thus here's the link I found it on. Just wanted to share as I thought it was really good.

Skipper gone and now only no Song

Lukas, Olivier and Santi came along

Written off by the press, no surprise

Best to ignore, they only print lies

August is upon us, new fuel in our tank

Two games no scoring, drawing a blank

Liverpool away this must be a dream

Abou majestic, Santi and Poldi supreme


Into September and staying undefeated

To six at home to the Saints we were treated

A win en France, a comeback v City

Conceding few goals and sitting pretty

Three past the Greeks and Olly now scoring

Three more past the Hammers confidence soaring

Then defeats by Canaries and Schalke with woeful display

And Diaby out injured, it’s Groundhog Day

A Carling Cup horror at Reading from the starting 11

A come back so stirring, 442 and a Magnificent 7

Yes I am going all Hollywood Hammy

But not Brynner and McQueen but Theo and Chammy!

A bounce back in the league beating Rangers by one

A day marked by the return of our ‘Prodigal son’

So great to see the touch is there Jack

Too soon to say our future is back?

A pathetic loss at United shows our true worth

Not yet progressing and not a rebirth

Our new skipper struggling, slipping and falling

Our ex-hero scoring our defence was appalling

Better away in Germany but still only a draw

Defensive lapses again are becoming a bore

Bounce back versus Fulham then, three points we insist

Three points turns to one a penalty missed

Gloom turns to joy a history repeat

Farewell to sent off Ade a 5-2 defeat

Big Per starts the scoring, his header means so much

And all for attackers discover their touch

Into December feeling buoyant, a semi-final to beckon

Only Bradford to punish, easy we reckon

A freezing cold night and 3000 of us numbed

At the way a strong side so easily succumbed

The lowest I felt as Gooner in many a year

A long drive home the future less clear

On the back of a home defeat to the Swansea and the Greeks

A defensive pairing not working, too many leaks

Much stronger v Reading with Santi better and better

Edging past Wigan, redemption for Arteta

Then a thriller v Toon with Theo calming fears

A Messi-like hattrick to live in the memory for years

A new year dawns but can we progress?

Draws at Saints and Swansea Vermaelen/Per combo a mess

We were shocking at home to City, we can’t get it right

Quote stats at me Wenger but pairing is shite

A replay at home versus Swansea next up

We owe them and could this be our year in this Cup

One man won this came with his single hand

The night we as one said Jack it is your own ‘Wonderland’

A one-man display of phenomenal power and poise

The Emirates paying tribute, an incredible noise

A tingle all over at each tribute and cheer

Definitely a night to say ‘I was there’

The confidence short lived down to earth with a bump

Rolled over by Blues a home defeat slump

Bouncing back at West Ham it was down to one player

3 assists and a goal for Poldi Hammer Slayer

A brace for Giroud, a cup win at Brighton

Not so convincing for the big boys to frighten

But a place in the next round still a reward

And a selection of significance with Kozza restored

A draw scraped v Liverpool, a poor 1-0 v Stoke

Still not convincing but not quite a joke

January ends and February begins still way off the pace

It cannot get worse that cannot be the case?

January passed and the window closed

No attacking arrivals questions are posed

A manager under pressure of that there’s no doubt

But you have to support him as they won’t kick him out

A 10-man display v Black Cats of resilience and style

Sagna in the centre the best by a mile

Koscielny played and again tight at the back

Strangely now seeming toothless in attack

Next up the worst 4 days of the season

Le Boss resting stars for no apparent reason

No Poldi, no Santi, no Theo, no Jack

No logic for me when’s it’s trophies we lack

Surely it could not feel lower, doubt that I could

The Tuesday v Bayern soon showed me I would

Our last chance of Silver now seemingly dust

Something had to change or In Wenger do we still trust?

The first change to move Santi out on the left

Two goals for him beat Villa but still feeling bereft

No feeling better after defeat at the Lane

Confidence low and Bayern away next it’s insane

Bold decisions time for Wenger as skipper left out

Fab in for Shezza another huge shout

The return of Mozart, the midfield rocket

The return of Koscielny with Mandzukic in his pocket

We defeated the German giants at home and did not concede

A feat matched by no one the boast that we need

It’s déjà vu as we find our form in the spring

Whether we can maintain it like 2012 if a whole other thing

The BFG is slow but Kozza is quick

Pairing them certainly seemed to be the right trick

The Frenchman’s quality and German’s game reading

No Belgium indiscipline and the defence now succeeding

Four victories in the league followed as we head for top four

Only 3 goals conceded our defence now a bore

The centre so solid there is only one question

Monreal or Gibbo with Gibbs my suggestion

Reading dispatched and Rocky remembered

Fulham dispatched and Norwich surrendered

United now champions and came to N5 so

Are we so far off them? A draw suggests no

The home straight is reached and it is back in our hands

Not what we hoped for but that is where it stands

Not a trophy for me finishing top four

But better than not I’m equally sure

A tight win at Loftus and bye bye to Twitchy

Sorry that’s beneath me and awfully bitchy

A nervous last game at home for this campaign

But four past poor Wigan our joy but their pain

Final day tension and final day glory

Misery for the Spuds, a similar story

An unlikely hero or maybe one so true

Because who turned the season around? Koz it was you

A long summer ahead with money to spend

All we ask Arsene is don’t leave it to the end

One keeper, one defender, a midfielder to sit

And of course a new striker but in truth that is it

So ends my review all written in rhyme

Signing off Gooner Dave, until next time.

Thanks and follow @GunnersTown please

Lol very nicely written.

The BFG is slow but Kozza is quick

Pairing them certainly seemed to be the right trick

Our second half of the season's amazing form pretty much depended on these two who are, at least in my eyes, EPL's best CB pairing.

Great find,although you might want to change your sig.

That was excellent.

Wow... That's really good. Great find.

Agree with Rev, might want to change that sig of yours.

I hope this is not one season wonder and play even better next year.
