Well, this will be a bit of a test of our resilience and endurance qualities. The much-anticipated return of Maddison to the pitch didn’t have quite the electrifying effect we needed and maybe expected. But the time he spent there, albeit in a losing cause, will have helped enormously to get him tuned up for the remaining league matches. And we’re up against a visiting team that showed more loyalty to an offending player than he is willing to do to them, as his first act on returning to the team is to request a transfer. And he must be desperate – look at which team he’s apparently looking to join!!! (We must not get drawn into a costly auction for a player who has brought the game into disrepute. He would be a disruptive influence. We must avoid the temptation.) So, with the help of Pete and Roger and co, here's my “welcome” for our Wednesday evening opponents and one of them in particular –The Better. You better, you better? you bet! ooh x 4 You come to Spurs in our smart home: We play our way (which you’ll regret!) You’ll prob’ly feel that you are alone And you’re dealing with a Tottnam team who go out and get! You love to hear them sing your name, Especially when you score goals - You won’t hear it much Wednesday night - never mind - ’Cos our Van and Romero kill off corrupt ar****les! Mmm Kill off corrupt old souls?! Oh, and you’re next? When they sing, "We love you", you think (you Better!) “You’d better, you’d better!” (I bet!) When you say, "I need you," they say, “You’d better! You’d better! You’d better!” (I bet!) You’d better change - that’s right - Or they will dump you overnight! I want those feeble-minded “experts” overthrown. You’re not into our team-build picture: We don’t like your pose. We’d welcome you if we were signing up the dregs. We know Mikel has needs - But Ange never begs. We don't really mind how much they love you! (Ooh, a little is all right) And we say: "Come over and lose tonight, Tonight, tonight! When they sing, "We love you", you think (you Better!) etc We won’t lay a bet with you You’ve just torn up all the rule books! You’ve sullied Brentford’s good name; You’re trying hard now to leave them. Shameful, you Better, When Brentford saved your life! You Better: love them all the time now; You Better: just get back into line now. repeat We’ll beat you Wednesday night, With a 2-1 scoreline to tease yer! When young Brennan Johnson and Skipp get it right Won't make losing to us any easier. We know we've been scoring crazy goals And we look pretty crappy sometimes - But it us’lly feels so good, And we still sing our Ange’s name every time. And when it comes to midweek matches We know what we’re getting: We've got it all down to a tee - As you’ll see................... When they sing, "We love you", you think (you Better!) etc When they sing, "We love you", you think (you Better!) etc Prediction: Spurs 2 Betford 1 Scorers: Johnson, Skipp Cheers, Spurf!
