To come out on top
be the best on the day,
you’ll need loads of oomph
at home and away.
To end up the winner
and stay in the lead,
you’ll need lots of oomph
to thrive and succeed.
To be called a […]

Enough is enough
unfit owners it’s time to go,
just leave our clubs alone
as they sink further down below.
Enough is enough
inadequate owners there’s the door,
and never ever come back
as we can’t take this […]

He’s always feeling sick
got pains in his head,
constantly on edge
nerves torn to a shred.
His hair much greyer
face ashen and pale,
he’s smoking again
drinking too much ale.
He can’t get to sleep
paces […]

My club is doing my head in
going from bad to worse,
they are dropping like a stone
make you swear and curse.
My club is doing my head in
all they ever do is lose,
they’re bad for your health
make you turn […]

Bring back rattles
let’s hear that click,
the ones we used to have
made of wood and thick.
Bring back rattles
in the colours of your side,
make plenty of noise
not shy away or hide.
Bring back rattles
for […]

Many affluent owners
love wielding the axe,
they’ll get rid of the gaffer
by twitter,email,or fax.
So managers come and go
through a revolving door,
but they take it on the chin
and keep coming back for […]

When I find myself in times of trouble
Jimmy Hill comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be,Coventry.
And in our hour of darkness
he is standing right in front of me
speaking words of wisdom,let it […]

He’s a football supporter
family say he’s mad,
neighbours laugh at him
some think he’s sad.
But to his mates
who are fans too,
he’s a terrace legend
so they haven’t got a clue.
He’ll travel many miles
to […]

He’s as fit as a fiddle
can run around all day,
got loads of stamina
and just loves to play.
Yet he shuns the gym
and will never lift a weight,
has a liking for Red Bull
which makes him feel great.
He used to be a […]

I dreamt I was George Best
dribbling down the wing,
beating defenders with ease
cutting inside and shooting.
I imagined I was Gordon Banks
the greatest keeper by far,
saving shot after shot
tipping Pele’s header […]

The squad has been picked
twenty six players strong,
do you agree with Roy
where has he got it wrong ?
Would you have chosen Wilshire
who we know is injury prone ?
he picks up so many knocks
always nursing a […]

Them sly foxes
who play in blue,
bookies reckoned
they hadn’t a clue.
Them crafty foxes
would finish low,
relegation for them
so down they go.
Them cunning foxes
were written off,
little old Leicester
the experts […]

He flies through the air
as if he’s been shot,
he screams for a penalty
but the referee says not.
He punches the pitch in anger
dummy he spits out,
jumping to his feet
he swears like a lout.
He does it again
time […]
