Spurs V Chelsea On Later

[Tilly2]

Mr T is very jittery.

I shall be spending the rest of the evening, after dinner, on here. I hope to find some convivial company.

These chants get recycled over and over.

At the Brighton v QPR game, when we were 3-0 up against QPR, who had lost their previous five games, it was inevitable, when the QPR manager started shouting instructions, what we would sing ...

Sacked in the morning,
You're getting sacked in the morning ...

(to the tune of Guantanamera)

a bit mean, but funny at the time.

But ... the QPR manager had a complete mardy about it when he was interviewed after the game.

You can't let these things get to you. He earns more in a week than a lot of our supporters earn in a year. Opposition supporters will never miss a chance to have a dig. You have to rise above it.

Easily said, JJ. Not so easily done, I expect.

Some football chants and songs are so well constructed. Who actually makes them up?

[Tilly2]

It's over, thank goodness!

Were there some people on the pitch?

[joggerjayne]

There are a small number of guys who start things, and the rest of us quickly join in. Especially at away games. But some of the songs are pretty standard to lots of clubs.

At Birmingham (where we were noisy, and home supporters were a bit quiet) our songs went from ...

Can we hear the Brummies sing?
Nooo, Noooooooo,
Can we hear the Brummies sing?
We can't hear a f---ing thing,
Sshhhhhhh!

Your support, your support,

One-Nil up and you still don't sing,

etc, etc ...

It's all very, very predictable.

Spurs have passed the magical 40 points, so they should be safe from relegation now.
