Ole under pressure, a full week of media uproar, slagging off United etc, up next Dr Tottenham, this is about as sure a Penited victory as you can get. Charity Hotspur 1 Penited 3 Son
Arguably this is a game to decide which of two major clubs is able to recover their form more quickly after recent performances. It would be really encouraging if we were the ones who made the effort to get things right from now on. From somewhere deep in my musical memory, I dragged up the line “Me and you and a dog named Boo”, reframed it as below, and the rest of the lyrics just followed. I have no idea why. It’s not even a song I particularly like! But thanks to Lobo, who’s provided us with this weekend’s original ditty: I remember to this day When we beat Man U away - And how we stuck six goals past: Goals came like summer rain (It’s not so very long ago) When Kane and Son were in full flow - Oh how I wish We were back in that form again! Beat Man U and we’ll feel less blue - Playin’ well and winnin’, as we can! Beat Man U and we’ll feel less blue - How I love being a Spurs fan! Now I can still recall When Dele still walked tall, When defenders they got caught Flat-footed now and then. And the Gooners, they made us work But then we beat them just a year ago - Another Kane-and-Son game! Get back that form again! Beat Man U and we’ll feel less blue - etc It’s a big game on Saturday We mustn’t let them win away. Rashford and Ronaldo’s Fancy tricks we’ll contain - For poor Ole must be time to go, While Son and Dier score We'll be well on our way And get back in top form again Beat Man U and we’ll feel less blue – etcetcetc Prediction: Spurs 2 Man Utd 1 Scorers: Son, Dier Cheers, Spurf!
It's knowing that it's appreciated that keeps me going! Thanks Maggie - you're very loyal and very generous! x
SD seems to have gone AWOL (half-term week???), so I'll post my predictions here, and pray that some kind person will transfer my post to his predictions league, if he ever wakes up to set it up for this weekend! Thanks in anticipation. I'm away now for a few days, so needed to get this posted before I leave my technology behind! (<half-term week!)

@Blue and White kindly copied this. If you need to post before the new thread is up in future, please use my previous week. That will definitely be seen.
