As it's West Ham...three scuffles outside the ground, and anti-semitic chants in the 12th and 43rd minute
Sorry I’m late with this week’s ditty, chaps. I suffered a major IT scam yesterday and had no internet connection until now. I was afraid I might miss out completely! (There may be those amongst you who wish I had!) Anyway........................ This week it simply had to be an adaptation of Hallelujah by the very late and very great Leonard Cohen – using the supreme version sung by Jeff Buckley….. Well I've heard there was a secret deal That helped you get th’Olympic field - But you don't really care for football, do you? Well it goes like this: we’re fourth, or fifth, But you stay low despite that gift And we at Spurs are singing “Hello Losers” “Hello Losers” x 4 Well our team is strong - we encourage youth But you’re a one-man band – the truth! - Our skill and our commitment will run through ya! You lose when Payet isn’t there, And you then complain it isn’t fair, But we know that you’re just a bunch of Losers - "Hello Losers" x 4 Now I know we’ve been here before: This time we’re better, we will score! You know, I dreamed of this before I knew ya! And I've seen our flag on the Wembley Arch, Cos Spurs are on a victory march - It's a sad day for East London’s favourite Losers - "Hello Losers" x 4 Well there was a time as we all know When West Ham players ran the show But you don’t ever reach that standard, do ya! But remember when with Bobby Moore Or Hurst and Peters you would score - But every game today says “Hello Losers!” "Hello Losers" x 4 Maybe we’re up here above And all we need is one more shove So Kane will shoot and he will sock it to ya! And it's one for Janssen from the right; It's not Walker who’ll misread the flight! It's a goal and you’ll just end up 3-1 Losers Hello Losers! etc Prediction: Spurs 3 Stratford Cuckoos 1 Scorers: Kane, Janssen, Walker Cheers, Spurf!
And if you want to hear the best version of the song (according to Cohen) And you are not human if you don't well up at the end.
