By Boris Mellor January 19 2010 In keeping with Wenger's statement, "It's strange because the more injuries you get, you then seem to get even more because you always play the same players. Also, you rush some players back and then you have more chance to get them injured again", it has been decided to launch a new club song that sums up the situation.
For no matter how many wheels, sorry I mean players, drop off, the wagon, sorry I mean the team, keeps rolling along. Lets just hope we don't need the last verse, perhaps a few judicious signings, or fantastic luck, could render it unnecessary.
THREE WHEELS ON MY WAGON (Burt Bacharach / Bob Hilliard)
The New Christy Minstrels:
Three wheels on my wagon,
And I'm still rolling along
The Cherokees are chasing me
Arrows fly, right on by
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
A mile up the road there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: "George, they're catching up to us!"
"Get back in the wagon woman!"
Two wheels on my wagon,
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees are after me
Flaming spears, burn my ears
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Half a mile up the road there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: "Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?"
"Will you hush up? You and your maps!"
One wheel on my wagon,
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees after me
I'm all in flames, at the reins
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Right around that turn there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
SPOKEN: "George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?"
"Woman, I know what I'm doing!"
No wheels on my wagon,
So I'm not rolling along
The Cherokees captured me
They look mad, things look bad
But I'm singing a happy song
SPOKEN: "C'mon all you Cherokees sing along with me!"
The game is about Glory. It is about doing things in style with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom".
