In these dark days, following a shambolic display against Chelsea , followed by a very unwise emotional outburst from our blatantly inexperienced manager, with the rest of a tough month ahead, and at best (!) the prospect of yet another year of midweek trips to the furthest, darkest corners of Europe to play unpronounceable, unheard-of teams in exhausting conditions , followed by miserable Sunday performances against modest opposition, perhaps you will agree our spirits do need a bit of a lift. So here is my offering for every Spurs fan. A new anthem for us to get stuck into and lift the team (in case Mr Sherwood again fails to do so). Of course, Iâm not expecting all 12 verses to be sung on every occasion!! But maybe the first two verses could become a new and distinctive song for us? What do you reckon? Please give it a try! (Not something I can personally initiate in the white-haired section of the Paxton!!) Itâs Tottenham I love (with apologies to The Cure â Itâs Friday Iâm in Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa2nLEhUcZ0 ) I don't care if Chelsea's blue, Man Uâs red and Liverpool too. Arsânal I don't care for you! It's Tottenham I love! Premier League or FA Cup Sitting down or standing up, Spurs will always be my club â It's Tottenham I love! The Speclal (Specious?) One just makes me cringe I just laugh at Wengerâs whinge Moyesyâs talkâs beyond the fringe â It's Tottenham I love! Never com-plain! The weekend will come round again - And Iâll be down at White Hart Lane... Barcodes play in white and black; Fulham's down, not coming back; West Ham rent a running-track â It's Tottenham I love! Saints are always hard to beat Stoke just donât admit defeat But red-striped shirts arenât up my street - Itâs Tottenham I love! Swansea fly the flag for Wales West Brom, Villa tell us tales But all their bull**** always fails - Itâs Tottenham I love! Cardiff Bluebirds wear red shirts Everton know failure hurts Palace get their just deserts - Itâs Tottenham I love! Never com-plain! The weekend will come round again - And Iâll be down at White Hart Lane... Sunderland can fall apart Hull and West Ham break my heart But Iâm a Yiddo from the start - It's Tottenham I love! Pardewâs lost it in his head Pellegrini looks half-dead I didnât see what Wenger said - Itâs Tottenham I love! When I heard what my partner said I really could have stayed in bed But Iâm off to White Hart Lane instead â Itâs Tottenham I love! Tell me stories short or tall, Blanchflower, Hoddle, Chivers, Hall, Mabbutt, Ditchburn - love them all!! - It's Tottenham I love! Never com-plain! The weekend will come round again - And Iâll be down at White Hart Lane... I donât care if Chelseaâs blue Man Uâs red and Liverpool too Arsânal I donât care for you â Itâs Tottenham I love!!! Cheers, all! COYS!
True. Maybe we could dust off Chas and Dave and get them to record a cover for us to play before kick-off.
I think it's a farewell tour (Chas and Dave). Again. Dazzling lyrics again Audrey - I don't see why the first verse can't be done on the terraces My favourite verse though was this one Tell me stories short or tall, Blanchflower, Hoddle, Chivers, Hall, Mabbutt, Ditchburn - love them all!! - It's Tottenham I love! Genius!
