ARSENAL AWAY 22-8-04
Arsenal 5 Middlesbrough 3
Highbury in London is today's magnificent venue,
With a really tasty dish - The Arsenal - being on the menu,
They've gone 41 games in the Premiership now and never known defeat,
So a single point for the Boro today, would really be so sweet.
Conditions are ideal for this long-awaited game,
As the teams now take the field to the most deafening acclaim,
So, with everything now ready and formalities completed,
The order is a tall one but can the Arsenal be defeated?'
Schwarzer made an easy save from an quick Henry reminder,
Which was partially miscued but nevertheless a good rangefinder,
Slick one-touch passing on the left then a twenty-yards' Henry clout,
And big Mark will have much tougher work before this day is out.'
For a matter of ten seconds or so the Boro were overawed,
As Arsenal got four shots on goal but somehow never scored,
Bergkamp, well inside the box, displayed tremendous skill,
And what followed was reminiscent of the old-time Vaudeville.'
To thwart the skilful Dutchman, Schwarzer made a brilliant block,
Then someone cleared from off the line as the Arsenal ran amok,
Next, to everyone's amazement, the ball then bounced from off the post,
But, (hats off to the Boro' for they never gave up the ghost.'
Franck pushed it for a corner, thereby to somewhat ease the pressure,
As Arsenal did their utmost to put the Boro through the thresher,
The noose was being tightened and they went in for the kill,
But Boro live to fight again and the score remains nil-nil.'
Mendi had the chance now to reduce the temperature,
But his ball in from the right-hand side was really rather poor,
With Parlour in the middle and with a chance to lift the gloom,
The ball was totally wasted, with Parlour left to fume.'
Arsenal gain a free kick so the defence again regroups,
When Ljungberg's stopped unfairly, by the Boro Captain, Coops,
Schwarzer looks most anxious as Gunners gather like a swarm,
But Bergkamp passes up the chance and the Boro ride out the storm.'
Reyes curled one from the right: the idea was really great,
But, with Henry at the back stick, the pass carried too much weight,
So another Arsenal onslaught Henry thankfully aborts,
It's a goal kick for the Boro and more time to gather their thoughts.'
Lauren's now attacking and the pressure's unrelenting,
With Bergkamp in particular, really teasing and tormenting,
He looked up and noticed Reyes then did a little pirouette,
But thankfully the Spaniard found the side of Boro's net.'
With Reyes showing electric pace as Henry lays it off,
We're now left just chasing shadows and our hats we have to doff,
Reyes thought he'd scored but Schwarzer's save was unbelievable,
Could it possibly be a Boro shock is really now conceivable?'
Everyone felt certain that the ball had been despatched,
And right throughout the Gunners' team, their heads were being scratched,
That they aren't at least a goal up, they just cannot comprehend,
And Boro, for the moment, now have a corner to defend.'
Next we were to witness the work of truly wonderful craftsmen,
With a goal that might have been planned by the most eminent of draughtsmen,
Route One of the highest order and quite immaculate distribution,
Reyes on to Henry for the most brilliant execution.'
Reyes saw the run of Henry, who was half the field away,
And with the speed of lightning he left the Boro in disarray,
With the first touch quite exceptional, now Henry is up and running,
To sublimely lob Mark Schwarzer for a goal that's simply stunning.'
Mendieta's first decent ball in came in the 37th minute,
Joseph Job then gambled but unfortunately couldn't win it,
The next attempt by Mendi was far too extravagant,
And Jimmy in the middle was once more left there to rant.'
Is the fear factor creeping in, as Boro drop ever deeper?
It's not making life any easier, for our favourite Aussie 'keeper,
By doing so they're unwittingly inviting even greater pressure,
And the Champions, it must be said, are looking much the fresher.'
Bergkamp struck the woodwork, showing quality just great,
As the incessant Gunners' pressure simply will not abate,
Then came the unbelievable that had the Boro fans embracing,
As the lads got back on terms again after constantly shadow chasing.'
The architect was French Franck, who beat several men en route,
To set it up for Joseph Job, who didn't hesitate to shoot,
The Gunners' crowd was silenced with the Boro doing handstands,
Amid the feeling of disbelief throughout the majority of the grandstands.'
We've had our backs against the wall almost constantly throughout,
But Job's tremendous effort means we're in there with a shout,
Now they'll throw the lot at Boro, including the kitchen sink,
We'll be constantly under pressure and we won't have the time to blink.'
----------
Great care must now be taken and don't get caught out fast asleep,
Show a little more adventure and do not sit back far too deep,
A good forceful run by Parlour, seeking now a little glory,
How wonderful if he should star in a gripping Boro story.'
Boro forced a corner that was deflected for a second,
It's a better start by Boro as genuine danger beckoned,
Then sheer power brought a second goal and no chance for 'keeper Lehmann,
The crowd was stunned to silence by Jimmy Floyd, 'The Boro Slayman.''
The Gunners can't believe it and they look like they're bereaved,
The power of Jimmy's scorcher had to be seen to be believed,
Monsieur Wenger's standing there and he's absolutely stunned,
For once his magic Gunners had been totally outgunned.'
It soon looks even better and our confidence is oozing,
We're in the lead by three to one and it all looks so confusing,
But let's not get too excited after this brilliant little spurt,
Remember that an animal is most dangerous when it's hurt.'
Queudrue from the left-hand side caught Jens Lehmann by surprise,
Could this two-goal lead for Boro mean the Gunners' swift demise?
We'd been written off by the country, but now it's (Sacre Bleu,'
As the crowd is once more silenced by the Frenchman, Franck Queudrue.'
With their pride now visibly punctured there's is imminent Gunners' danger,
As Bergkamp gets a goal back and this game gets ever stranger,
No-one took responsibility and we continuously backed off,
Allowing him to score from distance and I'm totally hacked off.'
With Pires on for Ljungberg he has the chance to make his name,
As he's always seemed to score in every previous Boro game,
Bergkamp scuffed one from a corner, as Schwarzer stood there eagle-eyed,
Then Henry missed a sitter as he pushed it inches wide.'
As Boro dilly-dallied they were at sixes and at sevens,
Boateng couldn't believe it as he looked up to the heavens,
Again 'twas that man Pires who came to the Gunners' rescue,
Although Fabregas did all the work and deserved a huge (thank you.''
In less than sixty seconds we'd again been ripped to shreds,
As they showed us why they're Champions, these brilliant Arsenal reds,
Reyes showed tremendous skill, leaving Reiziger on his bum,
They have to be admired and there's probably more to come.'
In a game of many twists and turns, we enter the dying embers,
We've played our part in a wondrous game one surely long remembers,
I think we can feel proud: we didn't go down without a fight,
And I believe it must be said we gave the Gunners a massive fright.'
With Pires on the overlap v he's certainly turned this game,
Then a simple tap for Henry but the Boro should feel no shame,
With 42 games unbeaten I think that everyone should applaud,
Surely Arsenal now will overtake the Cloughie/Forest record.'
Although we lost by five to three in this amazing football feast,
Boro surely brought real pride back to the entire northeast,
At times Arsenal took the breath away, they really were that great,
Sadly no reward for us as we got 'just' three from eight.'

We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for four seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
