So... there are three matches against the scousers in six week. On December 23rd in their sty, on January 6 weekend at the Emirates, and then again at home in the beginning of February. There's a chance for a fourth meeting if we decide to prolong their misery and opt for a replay. I thought of this song to the music of Prince's 1999 to remind everybody that it's up for grabs now:
I was dreaming when I wrote it
I just love how Arsenal play
But when I woke up in the morning
Coulda sworn it was our match day
London was all red
There were Gooners everywhere
Going to the Emirates
With excitement in the air
Say, say,
Two-thousand-twenty-three, party on it's Gooner time
So tonight we're gonna party like it's Nineteen-Eighty-Nine
Obviously, we can change Emirates with Anfield, and 2023 with 2024, as applicable, duh...
