Those of you that bought the single might recall the B-Side “You Better Believe It, We’ve Done It Again” which is, all at once, the best and worst thing I have ever heard committed to record.

Their fortunes waned, but the club soon enjoyed infrequent periods of success, including Inter-Cities Fairs Cup triumph and a first league and cup double in the 1970s. During the late 1980s, Arsenal had built a side that threatened Liverpool's league dominance, and performed greatly in cup competitions. The club played an active role in the formation of the Premier League in 1992, won the FA Cup in 1993 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1994 and two doubles followed in 1998 and 2002. Arsenal made league history in 2003–04 when they became the first team in a 38-game season to go unbeaten. [8] In the 2000s, Arsenal were finalists in both the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League, [9] and have since equalled Real Madrid's record for most consecutive seasons in the latter competition. [10]

Arsenal we’re on your side / our love we cannot hide / our hearts are open wide.” This effort by the 1972 squad is not high on lyrical innovation, nor is it the most uplifting of tunes. It sort of sounds like something a group of soldiers might sing on their way to war in a Broadway musical.Arsenal were originally awarded sixth place due to an error calculating goal average, which was not corrected until 1975. [63] No competitive football was played between 1915 and 1919 due to the First World War. Arsenal competed in the London Combination from 1915–16 to 1918–19. [64] [65] The wordplay on this is nowhere near as clever as they think. Fair play for keeping the player involvement to an absolute minimum and drowning it out with overproduction, at least. Arsenal did not participate in the 1971 FA Charity Shield due to a previously arranged pre-season tour that clashed with the event. [71] Leicester City were invited to take part, and beat Cup runners-up Liverpool. [72] Speaking of Mambo No. 5, Gyan’s venture into music appears to mostly comprise him running through girls’ names, as well as his own name.

Imagine being a Spurs fan and thinking success could be repeated and wasn’t purely fleeting. That’s not the main issue here, though. The main issue is that the song feels phoned in. It’s no wonder this has fallen by the wayside while other Spurs songs remain part of the canon. The managers". Arsenal F.C. 30 June 2008. Archived from the original on 7 September 2008 .

On the strength of this, I’m genuinely interested in listening to his album Respect. Yes, that’s a real thing. Not many countries have a legitimately good singer to take the pressure off when it comes to tournament songs. This is essentially a Rod Stewart song, co-opted by a team with Ally McCoist leading the line, so it’s better than it would be if the roles were reversed. Imagine commissioning an official song which has its foundations in the worst possible scenario. I mean, Scotland were right to be pessimistic, with the 1998 World Cup producing one point and a run of 20 years and counting without a major tournament appearance. If they’d known what would follow, would they have returned to the optimism of earlier years? If so, we’d have missed out on this emotive and refreshingly realistic slice of Del Amitri.
