… but before kick-off, there are Remembrance duties to carry out. The Last Post is played before a round of warm applause.
The teams are out. They’re dressed exactly as Winston O’Boogie had it. We’ll be off in a couple of minutes. “G’Day Scott,” begins Chris Paraskevas. “Arsenal at St. James’ Park has brought with it the inevitable flood of Dennis Bergkamp x Nikos Dabizas clips on social media. And by x I mean Bergkamp turning Nikos into a literal and metaphorical lamb on the spit, rotating him so fast he ended up somewhere in the Golden Age of Pericles. Here’s hoping for a new highlight of someone in black and white accidentally-but-on-purpose-Cruyff-Turning their marker en route to goal. I love Bergkamp but it’s becoming a bit of an insult to Euro 2004 winner Nikos, not that I’m biased or anything.”
