The Song they played before the city match

[Anonymous]

At highbury on sunday they played some orchestra(sp?)/Opera song, it reminded me of the fa cup adverts. on sky they said arsenal are trying to make it their anthem like liverpool's 'your never walk alone'. Is this true you think?

...and for those that have no idea what MSX is taking about. Here it is:

And did those boots of Arsenal's team
Walk upon Highbury's turf so green?
And did they play with great esteem
The best football we've every seen?

And with a cannon on our chest
We play with heart, and mind, and zest
And we are proud to be Arsenal
In Victoria Through Harmony

(to the tune of Jerusalem)

I didnt hear any words, just the tune.

Sounded like a funeral procession...oh well most people seem dead at home matches these days anyway.
