Football Poets

Some fans will be feeling sick as Parrots
while others are over the Moon,
those supporters are going to be happy
but for some the end can’t come too soon.

Players will be doing a lap of honour
their fans clapping […]

I like to think of myself as being tough
and always able to keep a stiff upper lip
there’s not a lot of things can get me down
and I’m the one who tells people to get a grip.

I can work outdoors in all type of […]

On my way to the match
I spotted a solitary Magpie
then a Black cat crossed my path
and it gave me the Evil Eye.

That morning a Bat flew into my home
which made me spill salt onto the floor
on my way out I walked […]

It’s looking grim for my team now
as we bottled it at Ashton Gate
my nerves are really shattered
and I bet I look a right old state.

Our manager said we look tired
not as much as we are mate
we pay a lot of money […]

I know it sounds a bit sad
and I do need to get out more
but I enjoy looking at old books
some as far back as 1964.

Kenneth Wolstenholme’s Annual
pictures are all in Black and White
players from all around the […]

You just never really know
anything can happen on the day
it don’t matter who you are
or if you’re at home or away.

You can be sitting at the top
or bottom holding the rest up
your team can be champions
or […]

it’s been all about the big clubs
Chelsea this and Manchester that
and will they avoid Spain’s big two
when the names come out the hat ?

But football goes on further down
with clubs just trying to survive
it […]

Feel sick in the stomach
I can’t believe the news
our beloved site could go
that’s now given me the blues.

That would be like a bereavement
just like losing your best mate
all us footie poets would be lost
and […]

Once told that he was too little
“sorry my son you’re way too small”
but just look at Lionel Messi now
a genius with and without the ball.

He just knows when to run in the box
and looks like he’s having so much […]

Come on now their playing our anthem
you’re English so get behind the team
but I’m sorry no matter how hard I try
their performances make me want to scream.

You know they’ll never win a competition
even if they […]

I must be a real man
because I love football
so did my Father as well
taking me to games when I was small.

I must be a real man
because I keep a stiff upper lip
when I see a Coventry fan crying
I tell him to […]

Taking my seat on the coach
I got one by the window
so I could look out
and dream of an away win.

My son sat next to me
as usual full of positivity
while me the hard bitten fan
just stared out saying […]

Coventry City are at the bottom
but took Thirteen Hundred away
they never ever stopped singing
at Reading’s ground on Saturday.

It’s easy following a team at the top
when your side hardly ever lose
and you’re […]

Fabio has quit his job
the Italian has walked away
when I heard the news
it really made my day.

I’m glad Capello has gone
and out of the exit door
couldn’t even talk English
and his Football was a bore.

Call me […]

Snow shovelled off the icy pitch
that means a bright orange ball
fans wrapped up in club colours
watch you don’t slip and fall.

Watching from the stands
only the hardy have turned up
but these are the games I […]

He gets paid a lot of money
for kicking a ball about
but he looks miserable
and acts like a lout.

He is called a bit eccentric
and he’s just misunderstood
they say he’s a lovely lad
and all his ways are […]

Three home wins on the trot
but alas still no wins away
that’s why we’re still at the bottom
even though we won again on Saturday.

Boro thought it would be easy
an easy three points for sure
but for a team who […]

Watching Scholes and Henry on the telly
it was good to see them both back
they’re probably not as fit as they were
but they still know how to finish off an attack.

They say with age comes wisdom
and arthritis, […]

We are bottom of the division
and struggling to stay afloat
trouble on and off the pitch
fans and board at each other’s throat.

Us fans have been told not to worry
new signings are on their way
a couple of […]

Surrounded by empty seats
mates not bothering to turn up
even our drummer boy was absent
welcome to the Third round of the Cup.

Still at least I could sit where I liked
and even the stewards were polite
they […]
