Still Here-Waiting For Another New Season-Your Poems

Football Poets on MySpace
So here we go again…still here -faithful or faithless and still waiting for yet another season. But still waiting for what? Is it ‘same old-same old’? Money and the usual fears fly round again, from Real Madrid to Burton Albion, from Man U to Darlington . New fixtures, old fittings! New hopes,new faces as old realities and old problems re-surface. Enchanted and disenchanted fans have your say now. All “themed” poems will also appear (eventually) on the Football Poets MySpace site -which has a comments / messages section at

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
