Football Poets

Going for promotion is exciting
Trying to nick a play off place
Even fighting a relegation battle
Is better than nowt to play for.

My team has got the points in the bag
Safe near the middle of the table
But it’s […]

IT’s that time of the season again
Fingernails ready to be bitten down to the quick
Some fans of clubs will be out celebrating
Whilst others will be depressed and feeling sick.

My club have been inconsistent […]

Please can we buy Lionel Messi
He’d fill every seat in the ground
Couldn’t we pay Barcelona in installments
Because I hear they’d sell for a billion pound.

I bet he’d love to come to Coventry
We could tempt him […]

In the paper today
A big story on back page
Chelsea are in a crisis
Ancellotti’s job is on the line.

Us fans from clubs from lower divisions
Must be scratching our heads in disbelief
How can they call that a […]

I love football
Always have
And always will.

BUT, I moan about prices,
I’d rather stand than sit
But got a season ticket.

I slag off our players
But clap and cheer when they
score, a two faced supporter.

Often […]

Scrapbooks filled page by page
One full of foriegn players
Like Yashin, Puskas, Di Stefano.

Another was just for teams
With names like Dukla Prague,
and Eintracht Frankfurt.

I can remember a pennant
It was of […]

Jimmy Greaves is his name
He played the beautiful game.
Didn’t really like to run
But scored goals for fun.
Greavsie on my bedroom wall
Kicking a muddy leather ball.
Watched him as a lad
From the terraces with my […]

George Curtis was his name
Built like a brick outhouse
Iron Man was his nickname.

When the going got tough
Iron Man was in his element
Born to be a leader of men.

A captain leads by example
That means on and off […]

Snow on the ground
Snow on the terraces
Snow on the seats
Snow is everywhere.

Fans get wrapped up
Hats, gloves and scarves,
Sturdy boots instead of shoes
Hip flask full of some strong spirit.

Cold weather won’t […]

1. To stop smoking, especially in the no smoking area.
2.To stop drinking, especially in the no drinking area.
3.To stop making hand gestures to away fans.
4. To stop making hand gestures to some home fans.
5.To […]

Records from the past
playing on the radio
sending you back in time.

The Stones getting no satisfaction
the Who talking about their generation
and The Beatles in a Yellow Submarine.

Us kids with our Sky Blue […]

PAST :
Charles Buchan Annual
Got one every Christmas
Football fans delight.

Kept all of those books
Pictures of our football past
Jimmy greaves smoking.

An autograph book
Scarf, rattle, and Cov City kit
New […]

Managers Wants

Alex Ferguson A new watch
Mark Hughes Nothing, got everything
Fabio Capello A decent English keeper
David Moyes Please can I have money ?
Owen Coyle SATNAV, we’re hopeless on the road
Arsene Wenger […]

Crispin is over the moon
His “other” club have got through
Little Forest Green Rovers
Beat Bath City in round two.

That win put them into the hat
So who would they get in round three?
Would they draw Man United […]

It’s the third round of the F.A.Cup on Sunday
When the big boys get put in the hat
The little clubs want a big name
Manchester United or Chelsea will do.

I can recall tuning into the radio
Before it got broadcast […]

Cheat handles the ball
France then score a crafty goal
No luck for the Irish.

Bring back the Guillotine
Put Henry’s bonce on the block
The end of French cheat.

Henry is a fox
He’s a wolf in sheeps clothing
So […]

France and the Republic of Ireland
Should play their game once again
Because the Irish have been robbed
Of their chance to go to the World Cup.

I feel real sympathy for the Irish fans
Who witnessed their team […]

It’s that time of the season again
When the minnows have their day
Yes, it’s the good old F.A.Cup.
Where all roads lead to Wembley Way.

Teams from non-league football
Knocking out clubs from League One
Just like […]

I played on the wing as a lad
For my schools and Coventry Boys
Played football almost every saturday
From the age of seven till seventeen.

My role was to get past my defender
Try and put in lot’s of accurate […]

I’m just a big coloured plastic ball
Who usually get’s kicked about on the sand
But since I blew on to a football pitch
I’m now the most famous ball in the land.

All the other beach balls are now jealous
Of me […]
