It's a good time to be a Spurs fan (unless you're D.G.C., apparently!) although nothing is ever straightforward for the Lillywhites, is it?! Anyway, thanks to a classic song from Lionel Bart's "Oliver!", here is a song about the ups and down of being a loyal Y***o. A song for a Spurs fan, 2017: It’s A Fine Life! I’ve had so much pleasure Watching the Spurs for years: Great matches to treasure - And going hoarse from cheers! I rough it, I love it! Football’s a game of chance. I never tire of it -- Joining in all the chants! If you don't mind having to finish second - It's a fine life, It's a fine life. Just when the Premier title beckoned - It's a fine life, It's a fine life. When we’re back at White Hart Lane We’ll forget our cares and strife! Let the Chavs look down on us Let the Gooners frown on us It's a fine, Fine life! Who cares if Man City Have lots of dosh to splash We know that Dan Levy Takes care of Tottnam’s cash. We’re kings of north London Playing in style refined - Defenders left undone, Kane leaves them all behind. If you don't mind having to watch Sissoko - It's a fine life! It's a fine life! Even though he plays like he’s poco loco - It's a fine life. It's a fine life. Though we know that next Sunday Palace play the Hodgson way - But with Dier scoring one And then Son another one….. Kane will have last say! No titles, no trophies - We end up just below. All winds and all weathers - I still enjoy the show! Real Madrid, we bossed ’em Played the way we adore. We love it – no loss then! We could have scored two more! If you don't mind going by tube to Wembley, It's a fine life, It's a fine life! Though our last Cup win is a distant mem’ry, It's a fine life, It's a fine life! We’ve a very strong defence Our potential is immense. When we’re back at White Hart Lane, We shall be at home again - It’ll all make sense! No! If you don't mind singing for Pochettino……. It's a fine life, It's a fine life! Not for Pep Guardiola (’cos what does he know!?) It's a fine life, It's a fine life! Not for me, the dodgy cash Buying stars and causing strife: Tho' it sometimes touches me... ... For a Spurs fan such as me... It's a fine... Fine... life! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prediction:Spurs 3 Palace 0 Scorers: Dier, Son, Kane Cheers, Spurf!
I appear to have spelt Eriksen's name incorrectly on my prediction. Sorry Spurf, not deliberate.. Profound apologies to Eriksen (who, incidentally, I think will play a huge part tomorrow, against this lot). COYS
Maybe I should set up a different account so my head can predict separately from my heart. CP will defend and we get a lucky 1-0 is my head but I am going with my heart: Spurs 4 - 1 Crystal Palace Kane, Dele, Dele and Llorente Thank you
