    Hey Denys..love this

    “You may be a miner working down a pit.
    You may be a rock star playing sold out gigs.
    You may be a fireman putting out a blaze.
    You may be an inmate chalking off the days. ”

    Not just […]

    You may be a miner working down a pit.
    You may be a rock star playing sold out gigs.
    You may be a fireman putting out a blaze.
    You may be an inmate chalking off the days.

    But you gotta support […]

    The Reds were celebrating,
    All primed and set to party.
    They thought they had the match wrapped up,
    They’d reckoned without Tarky.

    The game was drawing to a close,
    Just seconds on the clock.
    The […]

    I will follow thee where’er thou goest.
    Be thou in highest place or in lowest.
    Runn’st thou the swiftest or the slowest.
    When autumn leaves fall, when fruit on branch groweth.
    When reaper reaps, when […]

    the way he’d glide majestic’lly
    like some young whippet running free
    who’d tear defences clean apart
    in classic red the beating heart
    of that great line up of the day
    the times that I saw Denis play

    a […]

    “Hoots mon, there’s a moose loose aboot this hoose
    Hoots mon, it’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht nicht”

    Boots on, and run amok
    Me and the gang, and sous-chef shock!

    Boots on, and awa’ thrae the grass
    Me and […]

    They said we were ungrateful,
    When we sacked Allardyce.
    I dread to think what folk will say,
    Now that we’ve dumped Sean Dyche.

    But football is a business,
    There is no place for ruth.
    If you can’t […]

    Do you recall Everton back in the day?
    In years long gone by, before Ninety-Five?

    Up front we had men who could stick it away,
    Like Bill Dean, Bob Latchford, McKenzie and Gray.

    Our midfielders shone […]

    ‘You’re Supposed To Be At Home’ is an excellent and moving  poem Denys.

    You start off thinking it’s just about another oft-sung  chant, one we personally heard a lot last season throughout our second r […]

    Back when I lived in Blighty,
    And went to football Grounds,
    I’d sometimes hear a mocking chant
    Around the place resound:

    “You’re supposed to be at home.”
    Away fans they would sing,
    When their team was two […]

    Don’t leave it so long next time my friend!

    it’s still a long road up ahead
    we’ve only just begun
    we’re right back where we started
    among the fallen ones
    the mountains that we’re facing
    draw strength to just keep on
    as our belief grows strong […]

    WE must NEVER forget
    never, ever, forget
    in the same way
    that we never forget
    our first match
    our first goal
    our first victory
    our favourite dink
    our favourite nutmeg
    our favourite skill / tackle / […]

    She spoke to me, did Kamala:
    “It’s OK, to feel sad and disappointed”

    I’d forgotten
    that we had shared ground:
    each a true Blue!

    But still
    I imagined her woes today
    seemed to Trump mine own (or maybe […]

    Selling to survive is an art.
    Some clubs do it exceptionally well.

    They flog their star player for a princely sum,
    Then unearth two nuggets that make their Ground hum.
    Two young, bright prospects who […]

    like them all before

    I’m one more who makes their way

    The whole week long we trained hard for this match.
    We practised corners, throw-ins, penalties.
    And free kicks too, from fifteen, twenty yards.
    Next came an hour of dribbling around cones,
    To make sure […]

    Toto,
    you broke our hearts
    but as life departs
    we can only weep and pray
    and thank God that we saw you play

    Football has always interjected into my life:
    intervened at my lowest points
    in reparative fashion, putting a smile on my face
    and mapped a path, back to the rat-race;

    It has capped my highest […]
