IF there’s one song I love to hear you dimwitted Gooners sing these days it’s that soon to be defunct ditty ‘Stand up for the Champions’.
I mean, how daft do you have to be to keep on with a chant that is actually saying ‘remember us, we won something once but then we let a team that haven’t won anything for 50 years take it away from us’.
Even us Spurs fans wouldn’t be desperate enough to go for that one.
Having said that, I can understand why you might want to cling on to the past.
Much as I hate to admit it, when I saw Wenger’s Boys (a moniker that for some reason makes Osley bristle) thump Everton on the opening day of the season, it was like feasting on caviar in a fine restaurant. Watching that tedious 1-0 win against Blackburn on Saturday was like chowing down on a bag of fish scraps at a bus stop.
Okay, so Arsene Wenger had to play his tumble tots and they added three more vital points in that race for second place.
But the match was so dull it was hard to stay awake for the champions, let alone stand up for them.

IN an age when souvenir programmes cost £3, magazine makers at Tottenham reckon they provide real value.
I saw the prog from Saturday’s match with Man City and there it was in all its glory – the full A-Z of Tottenham’s midfielder Reto Ziegler.
Surely this was my best chance to find out what makes Reto tick? Or not.
Genuine quote: ‘J is for Jacket Potato. What filling would you have in a jacket potato? Answer: I don’t really eat them.’
Eh?
Where was ‘G is for Goals, I don’t really do them’?
The nonsense went on.
‘Z is for Zoo. What’s your favourite animal at the zoo? Answer: Chimps.’ Need I say any more.
But the true value of the programme is in the notes from Frank Arnesen – although nobody really knows what he really does at White Hart Lane.
This week: “After our defeat in the FA Cup, we have just one competition left to play in – the Premier League – the most important one.”
Wakey-wakey Frankie – it is the most important one but Spurs haven’t really played it in all season.
Altogether now: ‘Sha-la-la-la, Is this the way to Intertoto?’
