A Gooners Prayer

Dear lord

Please guide and protect our men tonight as we aim for glory! May no ankle be twisted or broke and no hamstring be pulled.

Lord we ask that you stem the flow of attack upon attack from the Spaniards, put your hands upon Chesney’s and allow him to let no ball pass the hallowed posts and lead us in to despair.

Let us sing a 'Song’ of triumph as Cesc sprays balls on to the waiting holy head and left peg of Robin of Holland, and allow the youthful ability of Theo to walk on grass as he leaves no stone unturned and no defender by his side as he reigns down on the clock end goal to heaven!

Although we wish no injury on last season’s oppressors, give us the strength to overcome the giant that is Xavi and the miracle that is Messi as they send thunder bolts down on to our beloved Emirates turf.

Give Kos, Johan, Eboue and Gael the strength and determination of David as you did against Goliath and spare Denilson when he is in trouble, whilst not leading the Russian in to temptation.

In Arsene’s name we pray…

The almighty Gooners!
