As if we are not already the laughing-stock of the EPL, thanks to Harry's obsessive dream of taking England to a victory in a competition that we are ill-equipped to compete in, now it's the turn of these two aging tits to give the wums ammunition to fire at us! "Harry Redknapp was delighted to learn music veterans, and well-known Spurs fans, Chas and Dave have recorded a song urging him to snub England and stay at White Hart Lane." (Source: The Metro) Once, I thought I was being clever when I engaged in a bit of friendly wummery with a United-supporting acquaintance of mine, by telling him, "Dear Lord! Jedward are United fans! Could there be a greater pair of twats in show business?" To which my acquaintance coolly replied, "How about Chaz n Dave?" He was right, of course. Ones fellow fans are like family, in that one cannot choose them, we simply have to learn to live with them. I have lived with the dreadful knowledge that Chaz n Dave are our highest profile celebrity fans by blotting it out of my mind and pretending that it's not true. But if it is true that they are bringing out a song to implore Harry to snub the England job in favour of staying with Spurs, I fear I may have to take a shotgun to myself. The thought of that bearded tit warbling out "Harry! Harry! Harry! Why don't you give it a rest!" whilst, with arthritic hands, hammering-out the chords of some cliched bar-room rag-time tune from the 40s, simply fills me with dread! Please, Chaz n Dave! I'm sure you are a couple of decent blokes. I'd probably even buy you each half a stout if I ever bumped into you in a boozer down the Old Kent Road. But - for the love of God! - if you have half a decent bone in either of your bodies, don't release any more f..king songs!
Fair enough. In my distress at hearing the news, I'd quite forgotten about LFC. But, still. Chaz n Dave doing another song is never a good thing. The fact that they are doing a song about Harry and Spurs is beyond horrific! You know full well that it'll be given lots of unwarranted publicity on MOTD and Football Focus, and we will have every wum and his dog flooding onto this board to scoff at the fact that we have the support of two of the greatest twats in show biz. And the worst of it is, we'll have nothing to throw back at them, but will have to simply sit back and take it on the chin.
I'd hardly say they're in showbiz Arsenal fans can't wum us anyway [video=youtube;lXAZJ28s1rU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXAZJ28s1rU[/video] [video=youtube;6RcZIeb9AuA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RcZIeb9AuA[/video] There was another one but I can't seem to find it
I couldn't disagree with this more strongly. Chas n Dave seem to be real fans, for a start, they play original music (I dread to think what genre they'd be pigeonholed into now) and they wrote Ossie's Dream. Compare that to Phil ****ing Collins, who's probably our most high profile musical fan, unless there's any truth in the claim that Bob Marley was a Spurs fan. No matter who else decides to support the scum, they'll always be tainted by the likes of Karren Brady, Kia Joorabchian, Osama Bin Laden and worst of all, Piers Morgan. A song to get Redknapp to stay is an awful idea, but I'm sure it's well intentioned. Perhaps Tori Amos will cover it, like she did with That's What I Like?
Phil Collins has now flown the Spurs nest and become a Stretford fan.He was talking about being a Stretford fan on the radio some time ago
Thanks from a City fan, not had a lot to smile about since yesterday but this made me chuckle, great post!
It takes a remarkable waste of blood and organs to be considered a greater embarassment to a football club than having Richard Littlejohn as a fan (as Spurs do - which begs the question, why does the Mail go out of their way to talk **** about us?), but Arsenal managed it with Piers Moron.
As loathesome as Morgan and Littlejohn are (and they are loathesome) Bin Laden has a little more to answer for? Sorry to get controversial!
Piers Moron is indeed a massive embarrassment. Annoys me that RVP sometimes responds to Piers Moron's tweets on Twitter. If only he knew just how much of a **** Piers is.
Bin Laden had a more progressive outlook than Littlejohn, and doubtless would've been a better replacement for Larry King than Piers Moron was...
According to Google, Littlejohn has been 1,210,000 times, and Piers Morgan 2,830,000. I remember one time catching Larry King and his guests on one episode were Denise Richards and Ryan Seacrest. The show would've been drastically improved if they were chatting with bin-Laden, frankly...
You are more than welcome! Look, guys! You all know me by now. I don't necessarily believe everything I write, and nearly most of what I write isn't meant to be taken seriously, in any event. I know I'm probably being unfair to Chaz n Dave, and I hope that all of you are aware I wrote this post to get a laugh rather than slag-off two of our higher profile fans. I'm more laughing with them than at them, if you will. My (comedic) heated views on Chaz n Dave are tainted by the stick that I have taken, from certain quarters over the years, from United fans, who refuse let me forget that the cockney maestros are, indeed, fans of our superb club. And you know what? A part of me actually wants to hear the song... There! I've said it! God help me, and may someone now please wash my mouth out with soap and water! But it's true! I want to feel, once again, that dreadful sense of loathing and mortifying embarrassment that I first felt when I saw Chaz n Dave on Top of the Pops miming to The Sideboard Song. I am now off to have a shower...
