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 […]

unable to stand the pace ?
they’re losing their tempers
and going red in the face.

Many are ranting and raving
and being sent to the stand,
using foul and abusive language
getting huge […]

Jimmy Hill started a revolution
he had his Sky Blue dream,
the bearded one was our messiah
and he built a winning team.

But that was way back in the sixties
a time when kids had rattles in their hands,
when […]

Get up nice and early
jump out of the bed,
feel like a kid at Christmas
ready for the big day ahead.

First game of a new season
the sun always seems to shine,
all of life’s worries forgot about
footballs back and […]

I’ve always loved the Cup Final
ever since I was a young lad,
I’d be glued to the telly for hours
and so was my football loving dad.

I liked watching all of the build up
on how the two teams got there,
I’d […]

They creep into our clubs
pretend to be angels of light,
but really they’re demonic
like thieves in the night.

They like to show off their wealth
sports cars and diamond rings,
they promise fans this and that
and […]

I loved the old grounds
fans packed in tight,
huge towering floodlights
turned on for games at night.

I travelled around the country
on the coach and by train,
watched my team at Roker Park
in the open air hit by […]

My favourite ever footballer
and what a warm and funny bloke,
but I’ve just heard the sad news
that Jimmy has had a stroke.

I first saw him play when I was a lad
watching from the terraces in awe,
he took my […]

So Chelsea will be champions
their fans elated at the Bridge,
but watching them play is as exciting
as staring at a pot of yoghurt in a fridge.

Let’s face the truth and be honest
the Premier League is second […]

The pressure is now on
you toss and turn at night,
will your team stay up
or is it a relegation fight ?

The pressure is now on
you need points to survive,
but your team is struggling
and they’ve just let in […]

Steven Pressley has been sacked
Elvis has left the building in a huff,
the board had lost their patience
and the City fans said they’d had enough.

But Pressley really tried his best
yet results had not gone his […]

There’s something really special
when you’re just a young lad,
about going to a game
with your football loving dad.

“We’ll win today dad won’t we ?”
of course we will he replied,
“the opposition are […]

She said he was unromantic
a cold fish of a guy,
he much preferred football
drinking beer and having a pie.

She said he was unromantic
wished she never became his bride,
as even on their honeymoon
he sneaked off […]

Sir Winston Churchill
was a truly great man,
but just imagine if
he’d been a football fan.

As the manager of England
his words would motivate,
he’d lift the players morale
and make poor players great.

His teams […]

The mighty Chelsea

Bradford score four goals.

Manchester City

champions exit.

Manchester United
only a draw at Cambridge.
back to Old Trafford.

Bolton […]

Why do I bother
why do I care,
why do I need
to always be there ?

Why do I attend
and take my seat,
when I know it will end
in yet another defeat ?

Why catch a train
to follow them away,
when their […]

His team are flying high
they win nearly every game,
but now after every match
his comments are always the same.

It’s moan, moan, moan, moan, moan,
why doesn’t he give it a rest ?
his side are top of the […]

He’s been put on gardening leave
so he’s working with fork and spade,
he’s done some heavy digging
and a new lawn has just been laid.

He’s been put on gardening leave
thanks for all your hard work they said,
but […]

Please Father Christmas
these are things I’d like,
a Coventry City football kit
and a Sky Blue coloured bike.

A Charles Buchan Annual
a wooden rattle to click,
a pack of football playing cards
so I can do a magic […]
