After that lengthy break, we return to find a few absent faces on the team portrait, and a couple of new ones. So I thought this would be an appropriate time to lament (or celebrate) the departures in question. I’m sure you can tell that I’m sad about what happened to Alli; not sorry to see the back of N’Dombele or Lo Celso, the latter after initially seeing potential. And very sad to see Gil apparently discarded (after being totally mishandled - so far as I could see). Let’s now hope the changes bring a breath of fresh air to our boys, and we approach the second half of the season with some gusto. I’m sure you recognise the sources of the first couple of songs. The third song is in the accompanying video, delivered in style by Elkie Brooks. Spurs January Leavers Alli Goodbye Alli, Dele Alli! I just don’t think you understood! You had some super skills – The sort that gave us thrills - You could have turned out great, and not just good! Farewell Alli, Dele Alli! So now you’re off to play on Merseyside! I hope that you do well – It’s been a year of hell! – ‘Cos something turned your head and killed your pride. N’Dombele & Lo Celso And so, their end is clear: N’Dombele, Gio Lo Celso. They came with so much hope But then our hope so quickly fell, so We had to let them go (They never played our do-or-die way!) It’s sad – they let us down! - Now it’s Goodbye Day. N’Dombele had super skills But could not last for fifteen minutes. He strolled around the field, And seemed to think, “It’s easy, innit!” We paid to watch this clown; He played along, but in a sly way. So no, I’ll shed no tears Now it’s Goodbye Day! Gil Gil’s a winger He stands out cos he plays like a winner (For ten minutes……..) Gil’s a winger He comes on as a sub in the midfield His job is liv’ning up the team When we seem to be drifting (For ten minutes……..) Gil’s a winger He’s left-footed but gets stuck on the right-wing (For ten minutes………) Gil’s a winger And they say that he once played a whole match! We bought him for a mill or so (That was from Seville, you know), he never made it. He wanted us to see he was able T’inspire the Spurs to climb back up the table Playing left-wing - he never got to do - All those dreams that never came true……………….. (……. not even for ten minutes!) -------------------------------------------------- Prediction:Spurs 2 Southampton 0 Scorers: Kane, Kulusevski Cheers, Spurf!
