Leicester's riddle explained. Thanks to Nik Kershaw

[Chester Dontlie]

Funny how the true meaning of Nik Kershaw's song eluded critics and the general public for decades... but not any longer!

 

"Near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you*

 

*Lawro

(could be Souness as well)

 

"I got plans for us
nights in the scullery*
and days instead of me
i only know what to discuss
oh, for anything but light
wise men fighting over you**"

 

*Preki had big plans for Leicester wanted to start fresh, do some proper clean up after recent scandals with NP and Thailand trio etc

**he felt the future was bright for him at Leicester but at the same time was afraid of being too influential and opinionated and there were many other managers fighting to be at Leicester so he gave way to them

 

"it's not me you see*
pieces of valentine**
with just a song of mine***
to keep from burning history****
seasons of gasoline and gold*****
wise men fold*****"*

 

 

*it's Ranieri

**cards from M.Atkinson/M.Clattenburg

***before this season started we were left with Preki's thread /song

****administration, League One, scandals etc

*****gasoline = speeding Mahrez & Vardy, gold - winning the title(or titles?), also individual achivements also $$$

******Pochettino, Tottingham (and pundits who predicted relegation)

 

(...)

 

"I got time to kill*
sly looks in corridors**
without a plan of yours***
a blackbird sings on bluebird hill****
thanks to the calling of the wild*****
wise mens child"******

 

 

*Preki needed some time off the grid

**meanwhile there are doping accusations from some shady individuals and biased other club's supporters

***other teams had no plan how to cope with Leicester, Foxes' plan proved to be the best

****Drinky celebrating in a black away kit at Stamford Bridge. New Champions taking over from the old ones

 

 

 

*****'calling of the wild is about Drinky's and Vardy's England call ups. Leicester's wild boys proved all critics wrong

******this Leicester team is a child of Thai owners, NP, Claudio

 

 

 

Dilly ding dilly dong, here's the prophet's song

 

 

Thank you for your attention

[Carl the Llama]

You are absolutely mad.

[Tuna]

Chester's fallen off the wagon.

[themightyfin]

Am I dreaming? Or is this guy on acid?

[Buzzell]

Think someone has been on the pop tonight.

[Chester Dontlie]

Yes, men!

 

Dilly ding dilly dong

 

...

 

EDIT:

 

I admit I've been celebrating the end of the season with my mates (one's a Chelski supporter) perhaps a bit much

 

I blame Tottenham!

[MC Prussian]

The Slivovitz is strong with this one tonight!

[Vardinio'sCat]

 I noticed that Nik Kershaw is, in fact, an anagram of Nostradamus.

 

Certainly makes you think... 

[jerakin]

I totally see it. Thank you!

[GaelicFox]

That's all well and good but where the Fcuk is the dinosaur ?
