Post one of your favorite ballads.

I'm not proud of myself for this. It doesn't say good things about my character that I take nearly as much pleasure in the failures of the Arsenal, as I do in the success of Chelsea, but there you are.

Also, David Seaman seems like a good chap. I should be ashamed of myself.

This hardly qualifies as a 'track', but I know it as 'The Ballad of David Seaman', and it is a good song.

The scene is set at the end of the European Cup Winners Cup final in Paris in 1995.

It was in the 98th minute and the game was nearly gone And Seaman stood upon the turf and urged the Gunners on The crowd expecting penalties were whistling for time But one cruel Zaragozan saw the keeper off his line Oh, and up stepped Seaman's nemesis and his name it was Nayim He kicked a mighty lofted ball so high above the scene And Seaman scrambled backwards to face a final card To be beaten by a cannonball from over 50 yards

Marvellous stuff! 😀
