    Right, after the DCL failing to score in 16 games tip, here’s my next one for you all:

    Leicester have lost 7 straight league games.

    You’re welcome, ladies and gents <ok>

    I’ve been doing tragic in your one this season, Spurf! I can give others tips but not myself it seems <laugh>.

    Fortune’s are slightly better in SD’s one mind.

    Back in most of my twenties I used to do about £400+ of gambling a month. I quit gambling about 7 years ago. If I were still a betting man, I wouldn’t even chuck a fiver on us to beat Leicester at the moment.

    Does that answer your question? <laugh>

    Just a little unusual that so few have posted at this stage. Was wondering if there were access problems. I'm sure most will post tomorrow.

    I keep saying, “Surely we have to win this game. And if we don’t, it means trouble!” but now I’m saying it a bit more earnestly: We have to….. Surely we can’t lose to Leicester?!! I’m really hoping that dealing with Hoffenheim (I got as far as “often rhyme” but gave up on trying to include them in the song!) has given the lads the spring in their tired step they very obviously need. And I see that Romero and VDV are now on their way back (please don’t rush it like last time, chaps!) so that should be two springs. Here we go, then, with a hopefully reassuring version of “Reasons to be Cheerful” – thanks to Ian Dury and his Blockhead chums. I know I can’t match his word-wizardry, but I hope it was worth a try.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1injh4-n1jY

    Why can't we get back to the top? x 10
    Reasons to be cheerful, part three - one, two, three….

    A sumptuous pass from Hoddle, hearing Chrissy Waddle,
    Charlie Chaplin’s toddle, and votes.
    Cheering Dele Alli, going to a rally,
    Booing that Vialli, and ten pound notes.
    Archibald and Crooking, rating Trevor Brooking,
    Shouting “Hey! Good looking!” and duffel coats.
    Austin, Kinks, Vicario (our best case scenario!),
    Who the hell is Mario? and “sheep or goats”!
    We have to grin and bear it, ‘cos Spurs fans learn to share it,
    If it’s got our badge we’ll wear it, seaside rock.
    Madders miming arrows, my teens spent in South Harrow,
    A play about Pizarro, and Tony Locke.
    Jokes by Jasper Carrott, remembering Troy Parrott,
    Losers play in claret, non-elastic socks.
    A sketch by the two Ronnies, a vintage strike from Sonny,
    Sex without a johnny, a chocolate box.

    Reasons to be cheerful, part three x 3
    No reason to be tearful, one, two, three -
    Reasons to be cheerful, part three….

    Eriksen’s sharp passes, full-backs showing what farce is,
    Falling on their backsides…..
    Flooring Chopper Harris, living next door to Alice,
    Speaking without malice…..
    Courting controvérsy, always being Spursy,
    Beat that team from Mersey…..
    Levy’s always fickle, beards that do not tickle,
    Aubergine-based pickle…..
    A striker called Solanke, a colourful new hanky,
    Disunited Mankies…..
    Seeing Kulu grapple, the gorgeous Sistine Chapel,
    My half-time Cox’s apple…..
    Searching for Dane Scarlett, chasing after ladies,
    Looking after starlets….
    Bergvall, Moore and Archie, collars that aren’t starchy,
    Loving Mariarchi…..

    Reasons to be cheerful, part three x 3
    No reasons to be tearful, one, two, three….

    Yes, yes - hear! hear!
    Perhaps next year?
    Or maybe even now!
    In which case:

    Leicester City losing, all our bench we’re using,
    Gooners we’re confusing….
    No goal here for Vardy, Laurel, yes, and Hardy,
    Coke with my Bacardi…..
    Sitting in the Paxton, cheering our young backs on,
    Praying their attack’s gone…..
    Harry Kane departing, Lankshear might be starting,
    (The only rhyme is odorous!)

    Reasons to be cheerful, part three x 3
    No reasons to be tearful, one, two, three…

    I don’t mind
    I don’t mind, don’t mind, don’t mind, don’t mind


    Prediction: Spurs 3 Leicester 1 <applause><applause><applause>
    Scorers: Kulusevski, Maddison, Bergvall <laugh><laugh><laugh>
    Cheers, Spurf!! <cheers><cheers><cheers>
    (A labour of love this week!)
