A song for Saturday at Old Trafford...
(with apologies to Berlin - that's the group, not the city!)
Watching Aaron Lennon as he dominates the game,
Waiting for the moment when young Buttner cries in shame,
Turning and re-turning, till he slips the ball insideâ¦.
Watching with emotion when Dembelé scores we sayâ¦
Beat Man U awayâ¦.
Beat Man U away!
Watching I keep waiting, till Vertonghen drives upfield,
Never hesitating till he picks out Bale wide left,
Turning and re-turning, leaving poor Valencia coldâ¦
Watching with emotion as Bale drives it home we sayâ¦
Beat Man U awayâ¦.
Beat Man U away!
On the internet I watched you, as time just slipped away
When United crashed I cheered you, and turned to watch you play
If only for today we win away
Beat Man U awayâ¦.
Beat Man U away!
Watching how the ref goes when itâs nearly ninety gone.
Haunted by the notion Man U get a pen and score
Watching S A F say, âRef I make it ten mins more!â
Then the whistle blows, we cheer, and hear Sir Alec say:
Take the ref away!
Take the ref away!


We beat Man U away!
Beat Man U away!
Forecast: Man U 1 Spurs 2
Scorers: Dembelé, Bale
(Just noticed: pure coincidence, Spurf! Cheers, anyway!)
