Football Poets

The mighty Chelsea
knocked out by the Bantams
Bradford score four goals.

Manchester City
lose at home to the Boro
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 […]

Floodlights on in the afternoon
snow glistening on the pitch
a bright orange ball.

Cigar smoke wafting through the air
the tannoy blasting out the Beatles
small kids clicking their rattles.

Crowds packed in […]

A new football team 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 day
what a long journey it has […]

He came to Coventry by train
to perform his one man show,
in the huge central library
and his poems they did flow.

Sadly the audience wasn’t large
but Crispin didn’t really care,
he just carried on regardless
and […]

I’m heading off to Wembley
to watch the Sky Blues play,
we’re playing in the Cup Final
it’s gonna be our day.
as Thousands of us City fans
we walk down Wembley Way,
excitement here is mounting
this special day in […]

The Ricoh did rock
the arena did sway,
thousands of City fans
watching our team play.

Atmosphere electric
Coventry on the attack,
and when we scored
shivers ran down my back.

A sea of Sky Blue
wall of […]

Is all well with Football Poets ?
as it seems to have lost it’s bite,
is something going on behind the scenes
because it just doesn’t seem right ?

Poems used to come in daily
expressing the love of football,
but […]

We are going back home
where we truly belong,
all our marches weren’t in vain
as us true fans stayed strong.

We never ever gave up
the men in suits would never win,
because moving out of our city
was to us the […]

What did we have before goalposts
did players have to put jumpers down
and who decided to toss a coin
I bet it was a farthing or half a crown ?

And who invented football boots
did they play before in bare feet […]

There’s only going to be one winner
and it’s not going to be the team in Sky Blue,
so please don’t bet on the South Americans
because you’ll lose money if you do.

There’s only going to be one winner
I’m as sure […]

We’re on another march
thousands of true Sky Blue fans
together all as one.

Our aim is simple
to get back to the Ricoh
where we all belong.

We will keep fighting
till detested owners go
you are not wanted.

A […]

Robben is a cheat
he likes to dive in the box
a flying Dutchman.

Give him a red card
send him off for early bath
dive under shower.

Left footed trickster
always conning referees
a Dutch charlatan.

Robben and […]

Suarez is on stage
singer with a hard rock band
Chewy Luis and The News.

He’s spitting at fans
bit the head off a bat too
a rival to our Ozzy.

His favourite songs
Boston’s More than a Filling
and Bite out of […]

He’s done it again
Suarez bites on a shoulder
bit between his teeth.

Fangs for that Luis
but three bites means you are gone
Suarez bites the dust.

Others drink water
but you have to feast on flesh
fancied […]

Suarez is a great player
one of the best around,
he scores goals with his head
and bangs them in off the ground.

But he’s got a nasty streak
and comes across really sly,
he moans about the English press
which […]

Lots and lots of goals
teams not scared of attacking
so thrilling to watch.

Referees with spray
fantastic gadget
get behind white line.

National Anthems
players with tears in their eyes
singing out of […]
