On 6 May 1991, as they celebrated Arsenal’s second league title in three years, the Highbury crowd showcased their new favourite chant. The song, to the tune of She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain When She Comes, was ostensibly directed at the Football Association. But the entire football world was encouraged to listen.
You can stick your fucking two points up your arse
You can stick your fucking two points up your arse
You can stick your fucking two points
Stick your fucking two points
Stick your fucking two points up your arse!
The opposition for Arsenal’s party were Manchester United, which was a neat twist. A donnybrook between the two sides in the return fixture led to both having points deducted by the FA: two for Arsenal, one for United. The punishment was supposed to finish Arsenal’s title challenge; instead, it invigorated it.
