Welcome to the Goonerverse: “Never 25 with Arsenal and me” by Dave Seager

Welcome to the Goonerverse

Welcome to the Goonerverse!

Consider this a portal into the poetic minds of regular, everyday Gooners like you and me! A place where there is no judgment – no good or bad – a place where you can let your inner poet off its leash for a while… Share in a poem what it means to support The Arsenal with your fellow fans. Anyone can do it!

Just submit your poem, along with a short bio, and where in the world you support The Gunners from, (and hey! why not a photo of the poet, too?!) to <goonerverse AT gunnerstown DOT com>. Paul and Dave can’t wait thread your words.

Today’s submission is “Never 25 with Arsenal” by Dave Seager.

“Never 25 with Arsenal and me”

by Dave Seager

 

You went to games in 2002 and 2004 with me

You were privileged to watch greatness with me

You saw us win the league at Highbury with me

Your saw us overcome the Galácticos and Juve with me

You were there as we left Highbury, not sure why you wept with me

You saw us lose in Paris with me

You witnessed the move to a shiny new stadium with me

All before you were even 12.

We overcame Barcelona—you shared that great night with me

You saw us score five past the Spuds with me

And repeat.

You went to Wembley with me

You saw us lift the FA Cup with me

You saw Wenger leave, with me

You saw me write a book about him

All by the time you were 24.

I will see more, but not with thee

You were never 25 with Arsenal and me
