WHAT did you say? (Calls guards to send RA to Solitary)
Studge Studge where ever you may be
You are part of the red family
And we love your dance and all your goals
And we know you'll score a fuck load of those.

EDIT : Slightly more polished version. I'll keep working on it.

Lol, slightly edited. TBF was a half-arsed, post midnight, effort.

You dance like a twat but we don't mind that

I'm taking a baby sabbatical which means my standards have slipped...... A lot!
Well really it's a 50 yr old hymn but I get your point.
Ahhh Shawshank. I just got that. 🙂
The words are 50 years old. The tune though is over a century older still. It's a Shaker hymn tune from the States.
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge believes he is sometimes branded as an arrogant player because others do not understand what he is really like.
In an interview with The Anfield Wrap, Sturridge opened up about his reputation both on and off the pitch but stated that others would criticise his attitude regardless of his form.
Since moving to Liverpool from Chelsea in January 2013, Sturridge has scored 28 goals in 35 games and has become instrumental in Brendan Rodgers' side.
Red hot Sturridge repaying faith
Sturridge insists he is a good person and believes the reason that others may brand him as arrogant is down to his relaxed attitude on the pitch.
"The arrogant thing annoys me most - it annoys me a lot. But it's life, isn't it? I think everyone has a perception, like I have perceptions of people I don't know," Sturridge told theanfieldwrap.com. "I think it maybe comes from how relaxed I am on the pitch.
"People can't figure people out. If someone is straight faced, or they're not always smiling or if they are smiling, people think, 'I don't like that guy because he's like that'. They automatically have an opinion of someone of how they are; their body language or whatever.
"I've always been a chilled guy; living life, enjoying life, always smiling, always bantering; everyone who has met all says the same. I've never had any problems or any beef with anybody or anything like that.
"People have perceptions of people and that's life. I can only show the people I meet what I am as a person. I don't do things for people or make people do things for me in return. I don't do a favour for someone and then expect something in return - I do things out the good of my heart.
"If people's perception of me is that I'm arrogant, then that's fine. Until they meet me, they can have that perception. But everybody that knows me knows I'm far from that. On the field, some people don't get credit, some people do - that's the way it is. I would say that, in terms of putting people in, unless the player takes the opportunity, you never get the credit for giving them the chance.
"I do set up chances for people and I do enjoy giving assists and being part of the team, but in some cases maybe you don't get the credit you deserve. But that's life, again. I don't mind."

Red hot Sturridge repaying faith
- If Daniel Sturridge is played as a central striker as opposed to out wide, he scores goals. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers knows this and has used it to produce devastating results throughout the current Premier League season.
- Partnered alongside the prolific Luis Suarez, Sturridge is beginning to repay the faith following his £12 million to Anfield in January 2013.
- Record at Manchester City: 32 appearances, 6 goals
- Chelsea: 96 appearances, 24 goals
- Bolton (loan spell): 12 appearances, 8 goals
- Liverpool: 35 appearances, 28 goals

I think him and Suarez deserve a song together. To the tune of a lively version of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean"
Starting at the chorus:
Shoot and score, shoot and score, ("Bring back, oh bring back...")
... It's what Suarez and Sturridge do,
Shoot and score, shoot and score,
... It's what they'll do to you. To you!
Repeat from top, faster and faster, at the end of the third time, shout a name (e.g. "Sturridge!" or "Suarez!")... not sure how you coordinate which to shout though. 🙂
edit: Took out the first part, think it's too long and can be a mouthful. Just the chorus is good enough I think, catchy and you can do with a nice incremental tempo.

Barney Ronay in the Guardian today - long read but pretty scathing in his assessment of Woy's tactics in using Studge
For England managers there have always been two distinct kinds of problem: the talented players they don't have; and the talented players they do. History suggests the latter can often be just as much of a burden, demanding not just the usual shrugging sense of pragmatism, but a clarity of thought and purpose and a certain tactical boldness too.
In a way Roy Hodgson's job with England has been made easier by the fact he has to date overseen a relatively monochrome national team with few points of genuine strength beyond some speed in wide areas and the well-worn central drive of Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. At Euro 2012 and in qualifying for the World Cup there has been little to disorientate the tactical plans of the opposition or indeed of Hodgson himself. Here is a manager who has been handed no more than basic ingredients and shown himself eminently capable of knocking up an unremarkable baked potato of an international team.
Quite what Hodgson might be capable of with greater weapons at his disposal is another question, one that was addressed only in muddled and cautious fashion during Wednesday night's 1-0 win against Denmark. In fact from a certain angle there were the first real signs at Wembley that given the opportunity Hodgson might yet turn out to be another sufferer of the familiar strain of talent-panic so prevalent among England managers, a condition that has led to generations of more mercurial England players being shoehorned grudgingly into the national team, with strengths diluted to cover weaknesses elsewhere and talent rarely trusted on its own terms.
Hodgson's England may not have much depth when it comes to genuine cutting edge. But it does now have Daniel Sturridge, a central striker with 11 goals in 11 games for Liverpool since the last international friendly and a player with a decent shot at becoming the first Englishman to top the Premier League scoring charts since Kevin Phillips 14 years ago.
Say what you like about Sturridge's late-blooming merits he is clearly flying right now. And yet at Wembley, given the chance to play Sturridge and Rooney as a rare high-class Premier League attacking pair – or at least to allow Sturridge to roam through the centre from his familiar nine-and-a-half position – Hodgson passed the buck, concocting instead a glutinous kind of staged fluidity, his front four revolving dutifully but without any clear idea of what this was supposed to achieve, and failing to disconcert a Danish defence glad to be spared the prospect of a superior pair given the game-time to establish some concerted attacking rhythm.
Rooney and Sturridge – WazzDan, RoonSturr – is in outline an intriguing partnership, with enough fluidity and unorthodox angles of attack in its own right to keep everybody going for now. Yet with England having now played their final match before the World Cup squad's selection it simply has not been given the chance to settle and find its own patterns. This is surely a mistake, not to mention a peculiar irony, given Hodgson has been criticised in the past for his overly four-square tactical simplicity. Handed the tools at last to make an orthodox-ish attacking pair work, he has instead opted for modernity-by-numbers, retaining his new-found faith in the revolving 4‑2‑3‑1 formation with the doggedness of a middle-aged man wedged defiantly into a pair of tactical skinny jeans.
Despite having a generally quiet game at Wembley, Sturridge still gave glimpses of what could still be. He was sharp in possession in the first half, once making space in the inside-left channel brilliantly before shooting wide, and carrying himself at all times like the international thoroughbred he might yet become.
Most notably, the winning goal came at a stage when Sturridge had moved to a more recognisable central position, with Adam Lallana taking the left side and crossing beautifully. Sturridge's finish, heading the ball back into the corner, was harder than he made it look, which was very easy indeed. More importantly this is where he should be for England, in positions where his elusiveness and excellent finishing can turn even a game to which he has contributed little.
In the opening hour at Wembley he switched positions relentlessly across all four forward-midfield positions, to an extent that several times Rooney looked up in possession and saw around him nothing but Danes, so busily was Sturridge filling in at left-back 30 yards behind him.
Fluidity has its place but this was a striker so fluid he seemed at times on the verge of evaporating. If this is to be the system then Danny Welbeck, a more effective defensive runner, is probably better suited to the role of jobbing inverted winger. On the other hand Sturridge has scored more Premier League goals in 34 games for Liverpool than Welbeck has in his entire seven-year professional career. Sometimes if a player walks like a top-class centre-forward and quacks like a top-class centre-forward, well … it might just be sensible to treat him as one.
So rapid has his improvement been with Liverpool there is now a clear sense of lag in his England career, albeit one burdened now by some rapidly dawning expectations. Denmark on Wednesday was Sturridge's fourth start, bringing with it his third goal in 560 minutes on the pitch. Yet it is hard not to dream of grander things. There is a slightly frayed golden thread when it comes to modern-day England strikers, running through Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, and – for all the occasional caveats – the enduringly prolific Rooney.
Aged 24, Sturridge is still an international ingenue, but he is right now the man most likely to step up, an unusual striker in an age of unusual strikers, a subtle, often rather unpredictable mover, and a genuinely expert finisher. Late-blooming talent can upset even the best-laid plans. But in this England team Sturridge should perhaps be seen as a rare and precious cutting edge rather than just another ensemble player in Roy's revolving forward jumble.

That is the best commentary ever!! What channel is that - makes much more sense than Martin Tyler's inanities!
Not bad. Not bad.
So would a random selection of Teletubby expressions.

From your left boot /
But not from off your right /
The seasons gone /
With Liverpool your calling /
You've found, you've found /
Now next year don't be shite

From your left boot /
But not from off your right /

Danny Sturridge scores from 1-on-1s, he's really fucking ace*
And you only leave him unmarked if you dare
Everyone's defence is running scared
He's got the pace, the tricks, the close control
You know he's gonna score
Then he dances in a most peculiar way
Points his fingers to the sky and prays
