I don’t know exactly why this song came to mind when I was planning my thoughts about the upcoming derby a couple of miles from my front door, but it certainly did. You’ll get the gist of my feelings pretty quickly, I think! English Country Garden (Jimmie Rodgers’ version, not that Australian man’s!)……………. How many sharks and has-beens are on show In this shambles of a stadium? I'll tell you now of some that I know I’ll leave it up to you to grade ’em! Sullivan (whom porn made rich); Brady (whom they ought to ditch); Zabaleta and Arnautovic; Andy Carroll, Wilshere, Ryan Fredericks; In a pseudo-football stadium (In a pseudo-football stadium). How many goals will Tott’n’am Hotspur score In this so-called football stadium? I'll tell you now it’s three or maybe four - I know that you'll be glad we played ’em! Moura, Winks and Harry Kane And Lamela scores again - Jan, Rose, Tripps and Dav take the strain. There’ll be Spurs fans that sing - Another crucial win! - In an ex-Olympic stadium (In an ex-Olympic stadium) How many bags of taxpayers dough Fund this so-called National Stadium? I think we know how those arrangements go, And know the rogues that surely made ’em! Subsidies from you and me (Tories help their chums, you see) And Leyton Orient left in misery, There’ll be tears in the spring When the Irons have had their fling In an ex-athletics stadium (In a ex-athletics stadium) Robbin’ (Robbin’, robbin’) It’s you and me they’re robbin’ (you and me they’re robbin’) and repeat (Whistle........FADE) Prediction: West Ham 0 Spurs 4 Scorers: Moura, Winks, Kane & Lamela Cheers, Spurf!
Given our usual habit of making the game harder for ourselves than it has to be in the last fifteen minutes... 2-1 (Kane, Lamela)
West Ham United 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur. Arnautovic and Yarmolenko for them, Kane, Moura and Son for us.
