I also thought the best song of the night was "we've got Dele". It scans well and lasts more than 10 seconds. How about a verse for each player from Hugo to Harry"

I was already standing though so was irrelevant. Why don't we just sing a song about us that doesn't require anything other than singing?

I agree, my comment was more about singing about us rather than A******, not so much the stand up bit.

I came up with one for Hugo:

We’ve got Lloris, Hugo Lloris,
I just don’t think you understand.
He’s captain of the gang,
He beat Aubameyang
We’ve got Hugo Lloris.

McNamara's band should be our anthem in the stands. Trouble is even people who basically know it all sing slightly different versions. Tommo wrote out a verse but there's a verse before that one. So 2 decent verses is enough if everyone sings the same bloody words. It's sung in certain boozers but never heard it properly at a ground.

It's the diphthong that makes it problematic for scansion. It doesn't feel quite right in the mouth.

There's a sentence I never thought I'd say!
It’s not a diphthong it’s a schwa! 2 syllables all day long.

Rather than concentrate on player songs I think we should be trying for something more generic that we’ll be singing years from now after these crop of players are gone. Players will always inherit songs. This season alone we’ve transitioned Seven Nation Army from Mousa to Moussa. The new ground needs a new song. We also need From The Lane to be anthemic.
Yet again I point you in the direction of my sig.

?He has a massive cock he does; the Jan, the Jan. He tucks it in his football sock; the Jan, the Jan. He shagged his bird and now she’s dead, He waves his cock around his head. Jan Vertonghen, Tottenham’s Superman ?

I think if we re-introduced the old peanut sellers with the trays around their necks, but instead of peanuts, dishing out massive lines of coke would get the atmosphere going a bit.

The added benefit would be no queues in the toilets where 75% of the people in there are doing that.

Erm I'll have you know that sort of thing doesn't happen at Tottenham Hotspur.

Am going to be in the UK for the Brighton and West Ham games, so if anyone can help me get a ticket I'll soon have 62000 of you singing to Singing in the rain...

We're singing at the Lane
We're singing at the lane
Such a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
With *Poch leading the way
The cockerel's crowing today
We're Tottenham, super Tottenham from the Lane.

*This is the simplified version so verses only have to change this to Hugo/Tripps/Jan/Juan/Toby/Davinson/Bennylad/Danny etc. so we can keep singing it for a long time and get an awesome atmosphere going. Can be sung from kick off until the whole team has had a verse each (plus Poch (and maybe Daniel?)) and then after each goal can be sung for each goalscorer.

I'd love to see it happen. Anyone with me?

It’s needs to be about the club, not a player so it is generational.

Like Liverpool’s you’ll never walk alone, West Ham’s bubbles.

You need something higher pitched like their songs as they always sound louder.

Alternatively a noise like millwall’s “mill” sound that goes on for ages, and is intimidating and is a droning sound.

It also needs to be easy to sing, not complicated.

Being a Yid is a great song and our chant Yids is very intimidating but I understand that not everyone will sing it.

We need something that everyone will sing.
