Notes

“Ball boy was a naughty boy….woh-oh….
Hazard he was naughty too….woh-oh”

“He fell over..he fell over”

I do think there might be a good few songs and witty crowd banter whenever ball boys collect a ball this weekend..especially in the Cup and at Brentford!

If Hazard was just kicking the ball out, as it APPEARS to show (and I watched it live in horror) then it does bring a dark new slant and interpretation to/for Kick it Out.(ouch)
