Surely there's something in here we can work on...
I listened to "Ben" by Michael Jackson the other day. How weird that he would make a song about a football player in the future. Look at the lyrics.
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
We needed cover for the left back position and there you are Ben..
With a friend to call my own
Everyone connected to Spurs are friends, erm, well, almost.
:adebaehug:
I'll never be alone
I'll admit, that sounds a bit like Michael thought you'd sign for Liverpool. Thanks for choosing us Ben.
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
As long as you play well, and at times you have, it will stay like that.
(You've got a friend in me)
As said above, Ben, it's not quite unconditional.
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
Yes you do, and you need to sort out that defensive positioning of yours Ben, you really do. Even dead non-football pundits seem to realize, so please note.
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
Especially after you dislocated your shoulder Ben and played a shocker vs Southampton.
If you ever look behind
Just forget about Southampton, you and we all, need to move on from that game.
And don't like what you find
As above, you will not like what you find, just forget it Ben, it was a shocker of a game.
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
You can go to Stoke or Sunderland.
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
At the time being, this could change next week.
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Doesn't necessarily mean it will stay that way during the January transfer window..
Ben, most people would turn you away
Especially after that Southampton game.
I don't listen to a word they say
I have to admit Ben, after that game, I had to listen to what they had to say.
They don't see you as I do
That is not quite true, many share my opinion of you as the best left back in the game.
I wish they would try to
Thoughts can move mountains.
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
Yes, they'd think again. Every team needs a Ben.
ochbye:You just went and stole my joke from August 2nd 2015!

I'd have Paul Breitner at 2 (Gentle Ben still stays in the top 5)Davies has been quality this season and most of last, but I'm not getting carried away.
1.Maldini
2.Brehme
3.Junior
4.Davies
5.Roberto Carlos
No chance does a fully fit Rose get in our team, Ben along with Eriksen have created 16 chances each, the most in our squad, his partnership with Jan has been brilliant too
I assume Benoit Assou-Ekotto is in there at number 6, bit harsh.Davies has been quality this season and most of last, but I'm not getting carried away.

Ooof. Here's to a speedy recovery Ben.Heard he's missing tuesday as well.
Trippier on the left, Aurier right.
Please God no.Heard he's missing tuesday as well.
Trippier on the left, Aurier right.
Please God no.
If Ben ain’t fit, then it’s Jan at LB for me.
We will get roasted on the left if Trippier is there as a makeshift.
I’m not terrified, I just think we cannot go into that game with a moderately paced, right footed defender playing on the left hand side. We will get toasted. Horses for courses. Jan goes to LB & we play a flat back 4 if necessary with Dier sat in front. I’m keeping everything crossed that Ben is back for the match. And I mean everything crossed.I was excited about this game. Now i'm terrified!!

Where did you hear that? Thought he was out illHeard he's missing tuesday as well.

Poch said in the post match presser that he did not expect Ben to be 100% recouped for TuesdayWhere did you hear that? Thought he was out ill
If you want a Welsh themed song for Ben, could do worse than sing "Ben Davies" repeatedly to the tune of Men of Harlech.....fits very nicely.
Stated Davies fell and hit his headPoch said in the post match presser that he did not expect Ben to be 100% recouped for Tuesday
