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
yet […]

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 […]

does anybody know,
has anyone seen it

and it mysteriously had gone […]

The season is ending
a strange one without doubt,

Jimmy Hill came to Coventry in the 60’s
who were a lowly third division team,

with his amazing sky blue dream.
Some fans thought it was all a gimmick
my dad said that he won’t […]

The draw was being made
for the fourth round of the FACup,
Coventry or Bristol Rovers against Birmingham
” you couldn’t make it up. ”
Coventry will be the ” home” team
If they knock Rovers out of the Cup,
so […]

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.
Jimmy Hill […]

First game of a new season
always a fans delight,
make plans for the Saturday
excited on the Friday night.
Meet mates in the boozer
before going to the ground,
talk football between drinks
“don’t forget […]

Liverpool and Manchester City
are going head to head ,
who will become champions ?
I see a team playing in red.
Norwich City in the Championship
they will lift the crown ,

Time is running out
3 home games to go,
but what about next season
as nobody seems to know ?

patience wearing thin,
all we want is to follow the team
be there come lose draw or […]

He’s a great player
and so skilful
but he dives.

He’s a fox in the box
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.

and they finally won 2-1,
but when he got […]

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,

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

and they swept aside Panama
banging in goals in the […]
