“WE’RE HAVIN A ‘BALL’!”
Before the game aall Toon fans including me would have been very happy with a draw, so a 2-0 win sent us into extaseeee!
The warning 🔔 bells’ were ringing orly on when The Arse hit the post through Martinelli at the end where the 6,000 noisy Toon fans were situated! Luckily it rebounded to safety and not into the goal!
The game had been too and fro at this stage, with NUFC matching the home side in chances created!
10 minutes later the breakthrough came when Jacob Murphy sent a pass across the box and Alexander the Great (Isak) woz on hand to hit a sweet shot that went in off the crossbar to send the Toon faithful into delirium at the opposite end!
HT 1-0 to ‘us’!
We sensationally doubled wor lead in the 52nd minute when a Murphy/ Isak combination resulted in in The Arse goalie deflectin’ the baall to Anthony Gordon inside the penalty area and he hit a great shot into the roof of the net in front of The Toon faithful to send the away end into meltdoon!—So much so, that the kid next to me fell ower the seat in front and ended up upside doon with hiz feet in the air!
Heroic Toon defending then ensured az The Arse tried in vain to score!
And they had several chances to do so, but wor defendin woz ‘spot on’!
We held on to claim a famous victory with a place in the Wembley final within touching distance now!
This woz wor 20th visit to The Emirates and anly wor 2nd win here! The victory will live in wor memories for a very lang time!
Az per usual, the perennial excuses came from The Arse manager Arteta who claimed that the baall used woz different to The Premyaa Leegue baall and the flight of it contributed to their defeat!??? The same baall used in previous rounds which they of course won to get to the semis!
Hiz best and most pathetic ‘excuse’ EVER!
WE’RE HAVING A BALL!”
