Bournemouth 2 spurs 3. Solanke, kulusevski, Werner (yep Werner and I believe in Father Christmas too).
Two disappointing draws in games where we felt we were on the way to winning. Now, perhaps, for a change – another draw, but one where we face the very real possibility of losing but eventually manage to salvage a point. Meat Loaf has kindly agreed to take the words right out of his song, but on condition that we pronounce the second syllable of “Bournemouth” exactly as it is in his song (ie not as “muth) and as an emphasised monosyllable. These are the comments we might be making before the game, and then our retrospective review late tonight. Before the game: On this December night Might we gift three points to a team in red-and-black shirts? Would they offer us their goals? No Would they offer us their sponsors? No Would they offer us their stars? No Would they offer us their points? No Again, will they offer us their players? No And will they win against us? No And do they love us? No No On this December night Should we offer three points to a team in red-and-black shirts? No! After the game: It was a December night And the Spurs were hurting, With rain spreading over the land. When I listened to our fans I heard the whole crowd turning.I saw our trophy hopes falling through our trembling hands. Bournemouth were licking their lips. I was crying just to see so much waste. But we were fighting back to get a silver lining. By the light of the moon I knew there'd be a single moment Be a single moment Be a single moment we’d face……. Oh all our shots went so close and my knees grew weak! But my dreams were flying high above the ground. We tried hard to score but no matter what we did We couldn’t seem to turn it around. And then we took a point away at Bournemouth!! Oh it was a shame we couldn’t take all three! We took a point away at Bournemouth Oh I swear it's true I was just about to say we’d blown it (blown it!) And then we took a point etc I was just about to say we’d blown it (blown it!) Then my body was shaking like a wave on the water And then I began believing we’d win! We were finally on top and we could do what we want! Oh the night was young and no-one was gonna know how we - No-one gonna know how we - No-one gonna know how we’d played! Bournemouth were licking their lips and their eyes were shining; I’d been crying just to see so much waste; Oh we’d been trying to get back our silver lining By the light of the moon I’d known there’d be another moment of grace…..! And then we took a point away at Bournemouth!! etc (repeatedly ad inf!)\ Prediction: Bournemouth 2 Spurs 2 Scorers: Davies, Johnson (and no, I’m not Welsh!) Cheers, Spurf!
