A football club was formed
in the year of eighteen eighty three,
calling themselves Singers Football Club
but now known as Coventry City F.C.
Fast forward to the present time
and what a long journey it has […] -

Looks like FGR are going up as champs Crispin ? A season is the proverbial rollercoaster ride, up and down and twists and turns. As Greavsie said ” It’s a funny old game. ” We love it though. ⚽️

My nan just loves her football
she goes to matches every week,
but now she wants to play as well
saying she’s strong and at her peak.
“But nan you’re in your eighties
and around six stone wet,
you’ve got a […] -

This is so true. Both of my sons played at junior level and I gave words of encouragement, but never shouted or ranted from the sides like some parents, one bloke went over the top most games and his lad you […]

fans streamed down Wembley Way,
Sweet Caroline they sang loudly
it’s surely going to be England’s day ?
Just seven days ago

Keep those emotions in check
it’s all part of the game,
you win some,lose some,
we all feel the same.
Keep your chin up
even though you want to scream,
Italy had more of the possession
and were the […] -

Sounds great. I’m going back in the club and I’m sure it’ll be another epic night. Social distancing soon disappeared though and there was lots of hugging going on. Still after the 18 months we’ve all had it had […]

Watching the game in the club
get in early to get a seat,
they’ve installed a big new screen
it really does look smart and neat.
An hour to go before kick off
the place is now filling up,
they’ve come to […] -

While trying not to gloss over Englands performances so far, as they have lacked shine, it could be not how they’ve started, but how they finish that counts ? Sorry but couldn’t resist some paint analogies. 😉

So England go on through
while playing not that well,
can they lift the trophy ?
only time will tell.
Yet with only two goals scored
but an impressive clean sheet,
they aren’t a fluent attacking side

England huffed and puffed
liked passing the ball back,
no real creativity or guile
reluctant to go on the attack.
Harry Kane the invisible man
Three Lions with no bite,
look void of ideas or threat
so not […] -

as he isn’t wearing one,
did he look in his wardrobe
and it mysteriously had gone […] -

The season is ending
a strange one without doubt,
being played behind closed doors
no fans seen or heard to shout.

they belong inside our […] -

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
