Football Poets

Grown men stand weeping
as the Bulldozers move in
the end of an era.

The old football ground
stood over a century
replaced by houses.

Flats and a Car Park
where once football was played out
now cover the […]

The Football on show is poor
every match looks the same
but we keep on going back
week after week game after game.

So why bother going then
if it makes you feel this way
could it be some sort of drug
that you […]

The first round of the F.A.Cup
Coventry City versus Arlesly town
was this going to be a Banana Skin
leaving the City fans feeling down ?

The Sky Blues were poor for half an hour
while Arlesly were really up for […]

Still yet more racist chants
as missiles get thrown as well
this is Football in the year 2012
as enjoyable as a day in Hell.

But it will be back again and again
till these morons get booted out
but nothing ever […]

ASHLEY COLE

Twitter, twitter, twit,
he wears a Blue football kit
not articulit.

JOHN TERRY

Chelsea Blue eyed boy
as pure as the driven snow
just a naughty boy ?

LUIS SUAREZ

You’ve got him all wrong
he isn’t a […]

We were utter garbage in the first half
kept on giving the ball away
us fans were getting really fed up
is this the best our team can play ?

But the manager must have laid into them
I bet tea cups were thrown […]

Small children with rattles
woollen hats on their heads
cheering on the teams
be it the Blues or the Reds.

Grown men smoking fags
Mild or Bitter on their breath
keeping an eye on the kids
whilst swearing at the […]

Our new manager’s first game in charge
and he started off with a loss
the players huffed and puffed
but struggled to shoot, tackle, or cross.

I’ve watched a lot of our teams over the years
but this one could be […]

They sang songs about a disaster
thinking they were somehow cool
but that shows them to be callous
and having the minds of a fool..

They should not be called fans
as they are nothing of the sort
they should be […]

Our home match on Sunday
was going to be live on T.V.
so there lay the problem
do I go to the Ricoh to watch the City ?

So I went to the pub first
and got chatting to fans at the bar
they said they were staying […]

Haikus.

Forest Green Rovers
have gone top of the Blue Square
to Crispin’s delight.

Can they stay there though ?
some decent teams just behind
a long way to go.

Forest Green Rovers
they play at home at the […]

It helps if you’ve played the game
and been pretty decent too
so if you’d like to apply
this is what we expect from you.

If chosen as the right applicant
you’ll need to get the fans on your side
as supporters can […]

We’ve now had Ten managers in Eleven years
as yet another Coventry boss is shown the door
Andy Thorn no doubt tried his level best
but the men in suits said results are poor.

So us Sky Blue fans are scratching […]

Fans of all ages clapped for one minute
in respect for one of our own
an ex player from the sixties
who died a week or so ago.

Even the away fans were clapping
not even knowing the players name
no sarcastic […]

Have to say I’m looking really good
seeing I’ve had a few months away,
any rough edges have now gone
just in time for the kick off on Saturday.

I’ve been out in all types of weather
been battered by Sun, Wind and […]

New club shirt brought, check
season ticket renewed, check
up for kick off, check.

Fixture list on wall
away games circled in, check
home matches too, check.

Capital One Cup
starts before the real kick off
too […]

The Olympics is over for our teams
as usual the men paid the penalty
but the women gave it their all
but lost out to Canada in Coventry.

I didn’t enjoy the mens football that much
the quality at times was very […]

I may take Olympian’s advice
and watch an Olympic match
even though the tickets are dear
and it’s about a fiver for a ‘batch’*

But the Ladies team have won through
so it’s the Ricoh then Friday night
who’d have […]

It’s usually known to us as the Ricoh Arena
but for a few weeks it’s changed its name
it’s now being called the City of Coventry stadium
and it’s proudly hosting lots of Olympic games.

People have come here from […]

Golf is just a good long walk
Tennis a ball hit over a net
Snooker and Darts aren’t a sport
and Swimming you move and get wet.

Cricket is a tedious game played for hours
while Skating is just dancing on ice
Horse […]
