we gazed enchanted here at home
as swept along each day
through early morning matches
on evenings far away
we sensed a #Me Too moment
a raised and valiant fist
the tournament that ebbed and flowed
until the […]

so near yet so far
what a tournament it’s been
Spain a class above

The Gold is near
Someone will be the winner
“The Ladies don’t fear” I sing

Congratulations to the Lionesses

The Gold is near
Someone wil be the winner
The Ladies don’t fear

It’s coming home!
It is….
Isn’t it?

Not to wash or cook or clean
But on achievement of a dream
Where the Ladies
Will be lauded, applauded, and awarded
The freedom of every city
Achieving legendary statu […]

Lionesses on the brink

(Spain 2-1 Sweden)

what a 140 years it has been,
such as winning the FA Cup

Rather embarrassing, I have to say.
But I guess, that’s just footy today.

Stopping play with an injury to feign.
What became of […]

“C’MON YOU BLUES!”

My team
My chant
But I just can’t
Bring it to bear
Tonight…
Not because I don’t care
But because
There are teams of similar hue;
Don’t get me wrong
I’ll always be true
To me an […]

Meet in the pub before the match
talk football over a beer,
then sink a few more

We’re back in the year of 1966
and I’m just a young lad,
watching the World Cup Final
on the telly with my mum and dad.
It’s England v West Germany
my dad’s drinking a bottle of beer,
I’m lying down on the […]
