Tonight, I celebrate my love...

It's the big one tonight. The biggest game in Arsenal's history. And I'm a bundle o'nerves. So, to alleviate the tension, I thought I'd write a little ditty, an adaptation of the title of this post (yes lovers, the Peabo version). Sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin...

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
Henry, Toure, Lehmann, Cesc and Eboue
Tonight no one's gonna beat us
We'll leave the Spaniards behind us
While I try not to poo

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep inside you feel it too
Tonight our flags will be flying
The stadium full of gooners
While I try not to poo tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh)
And that midnight beer is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no noone stopping us
What I want most to do is to see you win big tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And the season won't end so blue
Tonight we will both discover
How friends turn into gooners
While I try not to poo

Tonight I celebrate my love for you (ooh)
And that midnight beer is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no noone stopping us
What I want most to do is see you lift that cup
Tonight I celebrate my love for you


Over 25 years I've been a faithful gooner. This has to be our night...COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!

* MASH is apparently off limits to gooners, Barca supporters will be taking over the pub. Barca supporters who've never even been to Spain, of course...so I might end up here.
