Not a good time for the NLD to arrive on our doorstep – but hey! if we can’t cope with it now, we never will. So I figure the chaps will rise to the occasion, and win what promises to be a bit of a battle. I am grateful to old chums Si and Garfers for providing a usable and adaptable lyric. Hello Arsenal, my old friends, We’re due to play you this weekend. I had a vision of you weeping - In my dream while I was sleeping. And the vision was that Harry scored again And caused you pain: I heard the sound of silence! And in my dream I walked alone Through the streets of Islington(e). Saw the highlights of our next game And heard us singing out Nuno’s name. Then I watched the flight of a Moura shot from the right! A goal: delight!!! I heard the crowd go silent. And at the Emirates, I saw That Kane remembered how to score! Ars’nal playing without linking, Ars’nal passing without thinking. We were singing songs that Gooners could not share - And so we dared Disturb the sound of silence. "Fans", said I, "You Gooners know Spurs are winning 2-1, so…. So you know that we shall beat you So you’ll know that we’ll defeat you!" But my words, like poison raindrops, fell And echoed In the Ars’nal’s silence. So the Ars’nal lost - they paid For the errors they had made. Aubermayang’s skills were waning (And his team-mates were complaining). Tottnam fans saw the minds of the Gooners were written on the toilet walls: “We’ll win f*** all!” - Then listened to the sound of silence! Prediction: Woolwich Wanderers 1 Spurs 2 Scorers: Kane, Moura Cheers, Spurf!
IMHO, I must say Audrey.S.Thackeray's version of the 'Sound of Silience' for tomorrows derby is lyrical genius. ArseNill 1 - Spurs 1 (Kane) COYS.
