If only we’d not conceded a goal. “Seven nil to the Arsenal!” would sound fantastic.
That then reminds me of one of the times I went to Highbury many years ago. We were thrashing Ipswich 5-0. All the North Bank was singing “five nil to the Arsenal!” Good stuff! Then they scored a consolation goal. A group of lads a bit further along started singing “five one to the Arsenal!”, and everyone else (myself included) started grumbling about his that doesn’t rhyme. Haha.

Would have to score one more, surely, the scansion doesn’t work with “seven nil”.
Good point.
