To Anfield we went, the boys in blue
To fell the mighty, to give them what was due
That was the mission, that was the quest,
and now its all over, you know the rest.
It was all great, all dandy, a truly fantastic start
for nearly 100 seconds we really looked the part.
Then we gave them a goal, as so often this season,
without any sense, without any reason.
This time though it was just a bit more quick
Kaboul hits his own net, no need to call him a dick
But that’s not enough, for Liverpool of late,
let’s give them another, hand it on a plate
Poor Michael Dawson, so often our hero,
gave them the ball, right in ground zero
No need to worry, was only to Luis Suarez
the most deadly goalscorer ever, as everybody says
The Uruguayan scored, without any biting
the game itself became very exciting
Liverpool are a team really on top of their game
Whilst ‘Lacklustre’ is appropriate as Spurs middle name.
So often the case in this latest season of frustration
The Spurs team play in away to astound the nation
Not in a good way, not being clinical and ruthless,
but 100 million wasted and all totally fucking useless.
So we’re looking good now for a worthy 7th place finish
to raise the mood, flatter the ego, in no way spirits diminish
We need to spend more money, at least we should try
some clueless Euro-mediocrity, we’ll over-pay to buy
Who wants a new manager, it only brings more sorrow
like David Moyes, poor sod, for whom there’s no tomorrow
Tim Sherwood is our man, a Gooner to the bone
he’s quality and intelligent, all the tests have shown
Another season wasted, aspirations all denied
Oh well, such is life down the Lane, at least no-one died.
Happy sodding Monday

well at least you know he’s a proper person.
Aah… But out of this adversity came great poetry!!! By chance we met parents of Sam’s friend from university on Saturday evening and in the course of conversation he admitted to being a Spurs supporter! Thanks to my new-found knowledge of football since reading your blog, I was able to offer him a sympathetic and rueful smile of understanding which he duly acknowledged and that was before the latest match result!!
sorry, I tried, whilst rhyming, to show my contempt for the man, hence the greatest insult that can be levelled at another human without reference to mothers and camels, that he’s a gooner. Obviously multi-tasking is not my thing. Will try harder. Unlike Spurs.
I’m touched by your compassion, mon ami, truly touched. You sure you’re a gooner?
How are you able to excuse Tim Sherwood for his inept running of the team. They wonder around the pitch like headless chickens and he does nothing to instil any spirit or method into them. Just look at them lining up to come onto the pitch on Sunday a more disinterested bunch is difficult to imagine.
I share your pain amigo, things do not feel any better as a gooner currently
