It’s going to take more than a red cami and a thong

IT wasn’t until I arrived home from Sunday’s FA Cup encounter, when a flyer fell out of my matchday programme that had been handed to me by a pretty lass on my way around to the game.

It was advertising the range of sexy lingerie on the Goonergirl website and I should’ve realised a replay at the Reebok was always on the cards, as fate couldn’t resist the irony of sending Arsenal fans back up North for the most romantic night of the year.

It’s going to take a lot more than a “red cami and thong” twinset to pacify most Gooners’ partners, who’ll be left on their own, while we disappear off to Lancashire for Valentine’s Day.
