Can someone please tell me what were our fans singing to the tune of hey Jude?

Couldn't make it out on TV but was sang quite a bit.

I believe it was a succinct commentary on the quality and stature of West Ham, their fans, and their owners.

Replace "Hey Jude" with "You're shit" and Bob is your Mother's Brother!

I must admit as childish as our songs were, Monday night is probably the most fun I've had all season winding opposition fans up. Replacing "everywhere we goooo" with "you're fcuking shit" was also brilliant.

Surprised the Lane's security hasn't kicked him out by now. Kudos for his dedication though.

Never ceases to amaze me that even when he doesn't play Lamela gets non stop mentions by some folk.
.

Never ceases to amaze me that you always seem to have a problem that someone should mention Lamela.

Anyway I was actually complimenting the team which played brilliantly. Lamela was only used as a point of reference. Get over it

This from The Guardian : Interesting piece at the end about Walker's lad being there !

5) England outcast Walker shows his best and worst qualities
While Tottenham’s Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Kane seem to be at the vanguard of England’s new generation, their club team-mate Kyle Walker’s place remains uncertain four years after his international debut. Since the now 25-year-old full-back was first selected England have played 49 times, with Walker starting 11 of those games and appearing as a substitute twice. On Sunday against West Ham, Walker showed his best and his worst, all within the space of three minutes. He had come forward well throughout, proving a useful and regularly used option on the right flank and delivering a couple of decent crosses while his pace – and Andy Carroll’s lack of it – allowed Spurs to defend high up the pitch, compressing play and aiding their pressing game. He capped what appeared set to be an overwhelmingly positive performance in the 84th minute when, set up by the excellent Son Heung-min, he scored with a wonderfully assured shot using the outside of his right foot.

Moments later Toby Alderweireld headed the ball into his path, just inside the Tottenham half and from an apparently innocuous position Walker contrived to make two terrible defensive mistakes and present West Ham with a consolation goal. First he mishit a pass towards Jan Vertonghen which Nikica Jelavic intercepted, then he was easily befuddled by Manuel Lanzini’s sleight of foot as the Argentinian made space to shoot. It was a moment of pure defensive haplessness and, as the ball hit the back of the net, Walker fell to the ground and put his head in his hands, conscious that his son, one of the home side’s mascots, was in the crowd – though perhaps the fact that Roy Hodgson was there as well will matter more in the long run.
