lifted The FA Cup

Arsenal FA Cup Winners 2005 - (GK)Jens Lehnman and Patrick Vieira(C)

in the early hours of sunday morning a great war began
such had not been seen before
the evil Manchester United "Red Devils"
and the valiant Arsenal "The Gunners" took to the field
with my brother Henry (french name pronounced "onree") out injured
and a full strength Machester United squad
both teams with nothing to lose and everything to gain
this was always going to be a close and spiteful match
and so it was though no goals were scored in match time or extra time
Manchester may have had most of the best chances
but never were able to put one onto the score board
so in the end after ninety minutes of play, and 30 mins of extra time
the match was still locked at 0-0
to the penalty shoot-out it came
one on one, one by one the players shot for their teams chance at glory
only the goalkeepers stood in their way
and as it came to the red headed red devils man Paul Scholes
a trusted brilliant man
his shot was struck with some accuracy
but it was the hands of The Gunners big German Jens Lehnmann that kept it out
so with the scores locked once again at 4-4 in the shoot-out best of five
The Gunners had the last say with one more shot
the giant of a Frenchman Patrick Vieira stepped up to the mark and put that ball into the back of the net
Arsenal had won, Machester United had lost and it was always theirs to lose
and with great joy Vieira once again lifted The FA Cup
