Phone-in Baloney

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Two games in and Kevin’s
already getting
flak from so called fans:
no good cos he wears a suit;
useless cos he lacks the
passion of Paolo.
Points tally from two games – four
and one nutter phones in to
spout utter nonsense:
he’s not renewing his
season ticket next year;
another: they should have kept
Paolo ‘whatever the cost.’
What? Even if it bankrupts the club?
Are these people for real?
The same bores who boo
their team off the Ewood pitch;
the same who phone in
to take a pop at Pulis
or moan that Moyes
‘has taken Everton as far
as they can go.’
Be careful what you wish for
phone in brigade.
Remember the Valley of despair
after Curbs called it a day;
look at Wolves fans, sick
after mick got the sack.
Maybe it’s time to put the kibosh
on phone in lunacy and
listen to the silent majority.

Notes

Some of the people who phone in to 606 & the like need to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror; also do me a favour & look up the dictionary definition of the word ‘supporter’. Rant over!
