Oh West Ham you make us fret,We never know what we’re gonna get,At St James’s Park, under a North-East sky,
Playing the Geordies you soared so high.
Oh Hammers bold in claret and blue,Monday’s triumph still feels brand new,We saw the game on TV on Sky,
Always play like that? No, but why?
Before the game a sense of dread,Supporters patience a dwindling thread,The coach undeterred by doubt or fear,
Unveiled his plan, his vision clear.
The Magpies began with all their might,But we stood firm, defence was tight,Soucek’s pinpoint header clean and pure,
We took the lead 1-0 for sure.
3000 were singing the bubbles song,Wan-Bissaka could do no wrong,He hit the post, it bounced and spun,
A goal 2-0, the match was won.
From back to front they played their part,A victory etched in every heart,In Newcastle’s home we claimed the prize,
A night of glory under North-East skies.
**Now bring on the Gunners.**
But now the Arsenal lie ahead,A fierce new battle to be led,Can the Hammers bring the flair,
And meet the Gunners with skill and dare?
Antonio with your power and speed,Must breach their defence, to take the lead.And Tomas Soucek, with all that’s been said,
Please score yet another goal with your head.
Fabianski the keeper you need to excel,Keep guarding the net like a sentinel,This season not great, but Monday night better,
Creative and skilful that’s Lucas Paqueta.
Soler you surprised us to answer the riddleOf just who to pick to play in the middle.Summerville you play with such skill and such heart,
For me you should always be picked from the start
Max in defence answering the call,Repelling attacks and standing so tallAnd Jarrod you dance with such nimble feet,
Just weave through on goal to complete the defeat.
So take to the pitch and show us the pride,As London’s east and north sides collide,We’ll all be watching, we’ll be holding our breath
For ninety plus minutes, it’ll be life or death.
