Fergie Time 01:01
We're approaching the final minute Of a game, looks like United won't win it Could it be United have lost? No take a look at Ferguson's watch 'Cos it's Fergie time Fergie time, fa fa fa fa fa fa Fergie time When United are in a hole, They always seem to score a goal In Fergie time So many matches United have won As the clock, it ticks on and on It doesn't matter if your tactics are clever 'Cos they just going on playing forever With Fergie time, Fergie time, Fa fa fa fa fa fa Fergie time When United are down and dead, Don't worry, they've got Howard Webb, And Fergie time

I'm literally Jamie Redknapp, And I'm literally on TV I literally love football Yes, I love it literally I don't have a great grasp of vocabulary So, these are the sort of things that literally come out of me Gareth Bale has literally got three lungs, That's why he's so good Ronaldo hit the ball so hard, It literally exploded off his foot I just open my mouth, I never think before I speak And I can't pronounce the name of that Milan striker, El Sharwawa-wary? (El Shaarawy) I'm literally Jamie Redknapp, I'm on TV all the time, My trousers are literally so tight, My voice is really high I'm married to a pop star She's literally Louise I may be annoying but at least I'm not as bad as Richard Keys

Barcelona 00:42
They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Messi then score a goal They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Messi then score a goal They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Messi then score a goal That's the Barcelona way They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Xavi then score a goal They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Villa then score a goal They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Iniesta then score a goal They pass, then pass, then pass, then pass to Pedro. Goal kick.

Dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi tar Berbatov Dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi tar Berbatov Now at Fulham he is a big fish in a small pond Even though he looks like a villain who would take on James Bond He's so cool he makes me die inside a little bit Even though he swans about the pitch like he don't give a shit Dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi tar Berbatov Dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi dimi tar Berbatov

Roy Hodgson 01:02
I love Roy Hodgson, he never causes any harm, He's like the grandad I never had, wasn't he in Dad's Army? Oh, Roy is my boy, even though he is getting on, And that's why I've written him this song. Old Roy has been to many places, Involved in many title races, In Switzerland, and in Italy to, Didn't he fight in World War 2? He must have, he's so old aged, He probably fought in the Crusades, Helped the Spanish Armada take a pasting, And fought the Normans in Hastings. That's why I love old Roy, And I wish him the best, In his old string vest, That he probably wears under his suit. Old Roy is so great, And I think he's number 1, And that's why I have written him this song

Bonjour, ca va, mon cheri... Welcome to Newcastle United F.C. We used to be a team of Jimmy Nails Now we are a team who is frogs legs and snails Look at ze bench Everyone is French And when we score we raise le Tricolore Our shirts are stripes, we go to every game on bikes Everyday you know, It's like an episode of 'Allo 'Allo Maintenant it's time for me to go It's time for lunch and we're short on Merlot But who am I? You would like to know My name is Gerard D'Alan Pardeux
7.
Gareth Bale 01:02
There is a player called Gareth Bale It's such a shame that he plays for Wales He scores every time he's on the attack And he's got much better since he had his ears pinned back He looks like a Neanderthal But his pace and left foot are so wonderful But he ain't perfect, he'll take a tumble you'll see He'd fit perfectly in the Olympic diving team And he is only twenty-three Can he be better than Giggs? Let's see But surely not Cristiano Ronaldo, how? Jeff Stelling reckons that? Man, he's such a clown Shut it Jeff and just head back to Countdown Bale can hear you with his giant ear surround sound
8.
Ian Holloway 00:54
Ian Holloway We love everything you say If you had a CD we'd buy it So please don't ever go quiet Ian Holloway, he says things on the hoof Like every dog day has its day, and it's dog day now. Woof. Taking blame for defeats and for sinking the Titanic He could get off in court by using the defence of insanity His quotes often have no rhyme of reason Like comparing a win to badger mating season Or to taking home a girl from a dingy nightclub She wasn't best looking but there's smashing coffee, love Ian Holloway We love everything you say If you had a CD we'd buy it So please don't ever go quiet
9.
Michael Owen 01:18
My name is Michael Owen I used to be the best Even though most of my showings Recently came from the bench But I played for England Real Madrid and Liverpool Until it was discovered I had the hamstrings of an 80-year-old What will I do? Now that I've hung up my shoes It's not that I am bitter But I do like to moan about it on Twitter I had so many good times When I still had functioning knees Like winning the Ballon d'Or And that hat trick against Germany But it's goodbye for now I really must dash And there is nothing in my career I regret Well except one thing That handlebar moustache

Mancini's scarf, his scarf, he wears it in the bath He never, ever takes it off, even when he's making love He wears it when he's sleeping Even when it's really hot I wonder if it does protect his head from falling off Mancini is so stylish Only the finest will do, But his scarf it never changes, Maybe it's like Samson's hairdo? But maybe it is time, For him to wear something else? Maybe a beanie hat, Or a classic coat and tails? Mancini's scarf, his scarf, he wears it in the bath He never, ever takes it off, even when he's making love He wears it when he's sleeping Even when it's really hot I wonder if it does protect his head from falling off

Rafa Benitez 00:50
My name is Rafa, that's a fact, that's a fact I'm the Chelsea gaffa, that's a fact, that's a fact Roman, I can't please him, that's a fact, that's a fact So, I'll be gone next season, that's a fact, that's a fact The Chelsea fans lack manners, that's a fact, that's a fact They slag me off on banners, that's a fact, that's a fact There's so many haters, that's a fact, that's a fact Say I'm a fat Spanish waiter, no wait, that's not a fact But I have won trophies, I can prove it to you And when I talk football, only deal in the truth And there is one fact I think we all can agree I'm a man who has an awesome goateeeee My name is Benitez, that's a fact, and it's true I look like the bad guy from Toy Story 2, I'm not liked in West London, that's a fact, that's a fact Wave bye Chelsea fans because I'm never coming back

David Luiz 01:11
Oh, if I had David Luiz' hair I'd photo bomb so many peoples pictures Oh, if I had David Luiz' hair I'd store stuff in there that I didn't need till later Cos David Luiz is cool And his hair if beautiful And I don't care that he is crap at football Oh, if I had David Luiz' hair I'd never have to use a pillow when I go to sleep Oh, if I had David Luiz' hair I'd win so many Sideshow Bob look-a-like contests Cos David Luiz is cool And his hair if beautiful And I don't care that he is crap at football No, I don't care that he is crap at football

There are lots of things I want in life I want a new guitar and Mila Kunis as my wife But there is one thing I want and I don't care I really, really, really want David Beckham's hair He's had more hairstyles than free kicks he has scored And every style I've absolutely adored Even the cornrows when he met Mandela That was one that impressed a liberated fella So, come one Becks, and tell me what's the cause So I can have a bonse that is as good as yours I basically, want to emulate your life Well, there is one thing, you can keep posh spice

Every time I see Arsene Wenger's coat it always seems to get longer But with every inch that it grows, his team, they felt it gets stronger For eight years his wardrobes have no trophies of note And now it is just filled with jackets and coats The fans want him out, he's dated and old, At least he knows on the touchline he'll never be cold Every time I see Arsene Wenger's coat I hear him say that his team are still good, What a lie And one day it will swallow him up and then he will emerge as a beautiful Butt-er-fly
17.
Luis Suarez 01:00
My name is Luis Suarez And I think I am so misunderstood People think that I am horrid But deep down I am polite and rather good People say that I am racist but I did do nothing wrong That's just the way we do things in the country that I'm from People hate me and they say I cheat and every game I dive I'm the Widow Twankey in the Premier League's pantomime My name is Luis Suarez I'm the bad guy in the movie that's for sure You can hate me if you like but Against your team I probably will score

It's nearly the end of the season Three more teams will be leaving Out of the Premier League, 'n' Into the Championship No more Match of the Day No Old Trafford away Not much time to survive It is squeaky bum time Well, there is Queens Park Rangers They have always been in danger And then there's Reading, They've played worse than Hayes and Yeading, at times Then there's Wigan Athletic, With their crowds that are so pathetic And Sunderland and Aston Villa-illa Nearly the end of the season Three more teams will be leaving Out of the Premier League, and Into the Championship No more Match of the Day No Old Trafford away Not much time to survive It is squeaky bum time

There's no football this summer What am I going to do? No World Cup or no Euros It's giving me the summer time blues I could get into cricket But I think it's boring as hell And Wimbledon, no thank you I don't want rugby as well I can't wait for summer to end and for football to start When pre-season kicks off, it mends my broken heart There's football in America Both egg-shaped and normal But NFL games go on forever And the MLS is really awful Why can't we have more football here? With animals and maybe robots I would definitely watch that stuff I just love football lots I can't wait for summer to be over, I hate this football rest Let's skip June and July and get straight to August

It was the season that Van Persie joined United And finally won the title And they managed to do that even while playing Tom Cleverley And Giggs and Scholes continue playing While their hair continue greying And Fergie had to make room in his cabinet for title twenty That was the season that was, yeah In the Premier League, woo oh 2012 to 2013 It was the season that City sold Balotelli But they would live to regret it Not just for his goals, but for his entertainment too Now there's no one left there that's like him Who would ride around on a unicycle And let off fireworks because he's bored in his bedroom That was the season that was, yeah In the Premier League, woo oh 2012 to 2013, yeah It was the season where everyone did the Harlem Shake And we were scared by the faces Phil Jones makes And Michael Owen retired but nobody really seemed to care And Suarez tried to eat Ivanovic's arm But certainly did the Chelsea man no harm But it was the start of the zombie apocalypse Very soon, we will all be dead That was the season that was, yeah In the Premier League, woo 2012 to 2013 That was the season that was, woo oh In the Premier League, yeah 2012 to 2013
