for the fourth round of the FACup,

If they knock Rovers out of the Cup,

Crowds packs in tight
at night floodlights on,
watching my team Coventry City
and yet another game won.
Rattles and rosettes
decked out in sky blue,
our player nets a hat trick
and on his debut.

He’s a great player
and so skilful

turns on a sixpence
but he dives.He is gifted
a born striker
but he dives.He’s a match winner
a touch of genius
but he […] -

There’s rustling in the bush
by the training ground,
could it be a pesky fox
or a sniffing hound ?
There’s noise in that bush
probably just a bird,
or maybe the whistling wind
that we have all heard […] -

Banana skin thrown
and racial abuse,
so ban the culprits
just no excuse.
Football’s not about colour
it’s supporting your side,
throw out the Neanderthals
give them nowhere to hide.
It’s called The B […] -

The Accrington Stanley fan got excited
when his team did score,
he jumped wildly in the air
as fellow supporters let out a roar.
His team were beating AFC Wimbledon
and they finally won 2-1,
but when he got […] -

We thought it was coming home
to where football all began,
our young Lions battled hard
every player to a man.
But it wasn’t meant to be
they just ran out of steam,
as on the night Croatia
were the better […] -

He scored the opening goal
so against Sweden England led,
the ball nestled in their net
put there by Slab Head.
An unlikely hero
in the shirt of red,
he’s a big lad
is young Slab Head.
He’s good in the […] -

England win a penalty shoot out
now I don’t want to gloat,
but the secret behind it ?
Gareth Southgate’s waistcoat.
Colombia played really dirty
they went for our players throat,
but the Three Lions stayed […] -

Yes it’s really happened
it really is true,
no it’s not a joke
Germany lost 0-2.
They’ve been knocked out
now that is a blow,
but I can’t stop laughing
at their World Cup woe.
The tournament is wide […] -

Back In The U.S.S.R.
England can go far,
and in Harry Kane
we’ve got a Shooting Star.
The players are now Heroes
many were just Born To Run,
and they swept aside Panama
banging in goals in the […] -

Go to the bookies
and put on a World Cup bet
two quid that will do.
Place is really full
matches shown live on TVs
punters drinking tea.
So I place my bet
England 2-1 Kane first goal

Fans see themselves
as a camera zooms in,
their on the big screen
so they point and grin.
They go a bit nutty
a few seconds of fame,
spectators start to pose
not watching the game.
Many on their […] -

Stock up the fridge

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
