\"\"<\/p>\n

Harried a great man,
\nthinking anyone can,<\/p>\n

found ourselves in a Basque Dracula’s lair,
\nreached unfathomable depths of depair,<\/p>\n

faced immeasurable pain,
\nhad to complain,<\/p>\n

a messiah came,
\nwhose perfect hair had all the fame,<\/p>\n

conquered the British south coast,
\nyet we didn’t boast,<\/p>\n

Yorkshire next, in cold blood,
\nHenry the VI, in the mud,<\/p>\n

Oil barons next,
\nwe declared war after Arsene’s text,<\/p>\n

Ball sprayed by a sharp scottish bloke,
\nfor a Gabonese runner bespoke,<\/p>\n

Ederson bucked,
\nbut under his legs, it was tucked,<\/p>\n

Into the promised land,
\na contest, o so grand,<\/p>\n

there was a worry called Anthony Taylor,
\na former Arsenal player goaler,<\/p>\n

Revenge for Baku on our mind,
\nhad to reply in kind,<\/p>\n

met \ufb01re with \ufb01re,
\nbut we couldn’t match their American hire,<\/p>\n

yet we didn’t lose hope,
\nAuba made Azpilcueta mope,<\/p>\n

both teams in full \ufb02ow, blow for blow,
\nsituation for the blues got dire with their spanish and american high \ufb02yer,<\/p>\n

the horrible ref had a change of heart,
\ngave a Chelsea a start,<\/p>\n

Kovavic sent back to his box,
\nArsenal played champagne football on the rocks,<\/p>\n

Again, the man from Gabon,
\nbrought in a new dawn,<\/p>\n

chipped the ball,
\necstasy in every Islington hall,<\/p>\n

handed Chelsea, their rump,
\nand we had our hands on the cup,<\/p>\n

our fourteenth time,
\ngreatest club in the world, we chime,<\/p>\n

When Britain reeled from Brexit,
\nVictoria Concordia Crescit,<\/p>\n

love in the air,
\nbut Raul still at the chair,<\/p>\n

for the next season, we countdown
\nI am one rhyme away from a breakdown.<\/p>\n
