The Accumulator

Arsenal first Friday, always start well New signings too, will give Leicester hell Arsenal easy, next, Liverpool in the early game, a win at a canter Watford offer up more presents than Santa Arsenal easy, Liverpool canter, next, Chelsea at the Bridge a cert to crush Burnley Untouchable last season, this is money for free Arsenal easy, Liverpool canter, Chelsea a cert, next, Man City away win, there’s simply no reason Why Brighton won’t be relegation fodder this season Arsenal easy, Liverpool canter, Chelsea a cert, Man City away, next, Spurs to cane Newcastle, big gap in class Don’t think the magpies are gonna last Arsenal easy, Liverpool canter, Chelsea a cert, Man City away, Spurs pure class, last, Man United on fire, all glitz and glamour Scoring for fun, gonna stuff the hammers Arsenal easy, Liverpool canter, Chelsea a cert, Man City away, Spurs pure class, United on fire, Fifty quid on a six-fold, what could possibly go wrong . . Arsenal Nil Leicester 1 . . Damn

Haha! I'm a yank. Don't follow football but I definitely understand your poem. Very nice twist at the end. Well done! -- Dean

I like this. From the heart.Your passion for the game shines through. Don't agree about the Magpies. Nice ending !

Thank you Peter. To be honest, I think the Magpies will do OK too. I'm a Brighton supporter and far more worried about our chances, but it's nice to be in the top flight for a change.
