For this weekâs ditty, Iâve gone back to my teenage years â
oh those heady days of rebellious, rowdy rhythms,
of raucous, risky, rabble-rousing rock anthemsâ¦â¦â¦.
no they donât write them like this any more!

Chorus:
He came to White Hart Lane from sunny Argentina -
Po-Po-Pochettino, Po-Po-Pochettino!
Heâs leading Tottânâam in the Premier League arena -
Po-Po-Pochettino from sunny Santa Fe!
Oh, listen to the singing I hear -
But Pochettinoâs name isnât there -
Until he makes things happen, I fear,
For our suffering fans.
A manager who wanders along -
With Levy there, he might not stay long,
As though the job could never belong
To him.
Mauricio plays a system thatâs confusing -
And we donât get the strategy heâs using!
Chorus
On Sunday we are gonna beat Stoke
Weâre gonna win â that isnât a joke -
Because I hear him say "okeydoke â
I'm picking Kane" *
Despite our sometimes dodgy back four
Weâll get two goals - or possibly more -
With Mason and young Harry to score*
(Again!)
We know his name, but weâre reluctant singers
Until he gets this team to play with wingers!
Chorus
Prediction: Spurs 2 Stoke 0
Scorers: Mason, Kane*
Cheers, Spurf!
* Does the EL line-up and bench mean he
still won't get a start in the PL?
