When we get within firing range
Expect us to let loose a few,
With nowt to lose, it would be strange
If we didn´t hit with one or two,
It is the way Lambert knows best
To defend, when playing away,
And mostly it does pass the test
And helps make for a lively fray,
Especially if one or two blanks
Which lately have found their way in,
Amongst our shot, could leave the ranks
It would help to give less wheelspin,
When last we were in London north
The target was prepared to sit,
Which meant we could go rally forth
Without fear of a return hit,
But your arsenal here would seem
Much greater, and more deadly too,
We´ll need to keep both barrels clean
When the chance does come to shoot at you,
With you going for that third spot
To guarantee Europe again,
Now´s when things really get hot
As the season just draws to an end,
And our fourteenth spot is okay
A spendid return from this year,
But two or three more points just may
Leave us with a bit more to cheer,
That they will come here, seems to me
A bit doubtful, but we´ll enjoy,
Them even more if, stunningly
We do what we did to ´Arry boy,
But seriously we would accept
A narrow defeat, believe me,
We can´t hope for much more except
An off day for R. van Persie.
