Isn't this fun? Isn't fun the best thing to have?

I was watching the game today and heard the wonderful sound of our faithful singing loud, with an early and quite subdued "Oh When The Spurs", which always makes me smile. As these things go, it wasn't long before the cry rang out; "We're the Park Lane, We're the Park Lane, We're the Park Lane Tottenham!" and, for once, the response was even audible on the telly box, as the Paxton returned the cry - once more, it went back the other way, then again, the Paxton echoed and, consumed by firey passion for my lovely Spurs, i stood from my chair with my arms raised and bellowed out, "We're the aaaarmchair, we're the aaarmchair, we're the armchair Tottenham!" and joined in as best as i could. Sounds a bit sad, i know, but the atmosphere in my room increased considerably, i tell thee - the spider above my telly was welling up, i could tell.
It was from this i realised that the supporting of teams often overlooks what is probably the majority, in todays prices and current credit crunch (no, i don't know what i spent it on either, but i spent a lot of someone elses money and i'm pretty sure i had a good time with it :up: ) - the armchair fan. The fan who gets up the morning of the game and acts, to all intents and purposes, as if they are actually going. I wash and shave, i pick out my chosen shirt for the game, i make sure i'm wearing no red on my socks or anything and i basically get myself into "spurs-mode" then park myself in a chair and tune in the strea.. *cough* legally obtained means of watching the game.
With this in mind, i think it's our duty to start pushing songs for those of us too skint, like me, or like others who are either too socially incompatible with large crowds, smell bad, or are just plain too unsavoury to attend games. "We're the armchair tottenham" is just a taste of what we could be tormenting our neighbours with, i'm sure, so i want to hear your efforts :up:
I've had a think myself and tried out a couple of others during the game, tell me what you think:
"We are loafing, we are loafing, we're just loafin', watchin' the game, we are loafing, on the sofa, cos it's warmer than the Lane"
"Oh when the Spurs, Go marching in, Oh when the Spurs go marching in, I'm gonna be on my sofa, in my pants with a beery grin"
"I'm watching Tottenham, in the nude. I'm watching Tottenham, in the nude. I'm watching Tottenham in the nude, on my laptop, having a poo"
"Adebayoooor, Adebayoooooor, this songs fucking childish, so i'll hit the mute button"
