Balls. Defoe.

--------------------------------------

:emoticon-0112-wonde

Ah! Two up front at last, then?

<whistle>


ps poetic offering under construction! Please be patient.......
 
The game's on Sunday.
Some people seem to be waiting for the team news... <whistle>
 
To hell with waiting for team news!
Let's drop a hint or two about selection!

A song or two for Sunday at the Etihad:

(1) With apologies to 4 Scousers

(Last) Saturday, all my troubles seemed so far away
In the top four, should be there to stay -
Oh, how it hurt last Saturday.

Suddenly, we’re not in the place we used to be,
And I think it’s down to AVB -
Oh, yesterday went suddenly.

Why could we not score? Think I know – need hardly say!
He brought Ade on, but he took Defoe away.

Got to say, Wigan seemed an easy game to play.
Now we’ve got to face Man C away.
Oh, how it hurt last Saturday. :emoticon-0106-cryin

(2) With apologies to the Arctic Monkeys

Well, we watch you manage every weekend -
It might start different but it ends up the same
One minute you're casually leading*
The next it all goes up
And you pour fuel upon the flame
With your
Defensive substitutes

We’re not gonna start a revolution -
Although Defoe’s up front alone -
But there's something that Harry used to say, apparently…
He said “Don’t settle for a draw -
That way you’re never gonna score
When you say 'settle for a draw'!"
We've told you once (and more)
We've told you once (and more) please don’t “settle for the draw”
Why don't you play Adebayor?
:emoticon-0101-sadsm
Well, we see it is one fixed game-plan with you
And there’s no other plan for you:headbang:
But that's just the way it is, I suppose,
And there's nowt we can do
But please don’t fall in the trap of settling back!:emoticon-0112-wonde
I know I’m a beginner -
We could be a constant winner
That's for sure!
Don’t take the draw if it's available

And if the game’s on fire
Don't get out your whole bench-load of
midfield subs!

We’re not gonna start a revolution -
Although Defoe’s up front alone -
And there's something that Harry used to say, apparently…
He said “Don’t settle for a draw
That way you’re never gonna score!”
When you say “settle for a draw”
We've told you once (and more)
We've told you once (and more) - just like against Maribor! [<applause>]
Why don't you play Adebayor? <double>

* or drawing or losing

PS if we attack Man City we might get the draw you so crave!

(3) With apologies to Iglu & Hartly

You went up to the top (but)
You cannot elevate yourself
You went up to the top (but)
You cannot elevate yourself

(Chorus)
And we know that round here
With Man City
That we won't disappear
With Man City
We got nothing to fear
From Man City,
From Man City!<nahnah>

Prediction:

Man City 2 Spurs 2 (see what I mean?!)

Scorers: Defoe, Walker

3 for the price of one! <applause>

The collected works of A.S.Thackeray will one day adorn our shelves.
And if you take my advice you'll get it for yourselves.
 
I see Audrey is in great form as usual <applause>

One of those days again I think

Man City 3 Spurs 2 Ade and Defoe
 
Citeh 2 - 1 Spurs (Ade)

Hope I am wrong...... Just think that our DM position is vulnerable if Sandro not available and Jake hasn't progressed as was hoped. If we are relying on Hudd in there then we will have problems.
Need some big performances from the likes of Bale, Dempsey and Lennon - and hopefully a better defensive performance from Walker.
