The postponement of the Burnley game might be a blessing in disguise for us. I guess it will be played early in the New Year – after Levy & co have started to splash out (?), and when we have fewer midweek commitments (ouch!). We’ll see. It’ll be interesting to see the new Brentford at WHL. I’m old enough to remember them from their last time in the top division. But then Grimsby were (t)here, too. And Preston. It’ll be a tough game, but I predict a narrow and unspectacular victory. They’ll be hard to keep under control, judging by what I’ve seen of them so far on TV. And to sing us through it to that victory it’s the Pet Shop Boys Sometimes you feel very dead: There's a guy in your mind and he’s pointing at his head. I’ve watched my team become unstable, Sliding right down the Premier League table. On a Thursday night in our London Town, Stop it right there, ’cos we’re not going down: Slipping down just a bit, but not too far - In our London Town! It’s a London team, (but) from another world: We’re recov’ring Spurs; they’re in a whirl In our London town, from another world, And recov’ring Spurs have them in a whirl, In a whirl! Our recent failures: whispering voices! Subs are all waiting, (but) are there good choices?! If, when, who, what? What skills have they got? Have they got it? Did they have it? True solution? Who would you choose? Might they bring confusion? It’s a London team, (but) from another world: etc x 2 Don’t have a heart of glass or a heart of stone - We won’t forget how to play at home. We've got a future. The crisis? Passed. Win today, at the last! Skipp scores for Tottnam - and jubilation When Moura crowns a slick Son-Kane creation! It’s a London team, (but) from another world: etc x 2 (How far away are you?) Prediction: Spurs 2 Brentford 1 Scorers: Skipp, Moura Cheers, Spurf!
