Football Poets

I dreamt there was a match in heaven
down on the pitch shone angelic light,
I saw great players of the past
Tom Finney on the left,Matthews on the right.

In one team was Ferenc Puskas
the one and only mighty […]

People struggling to pay bills
not enough money to go round,
some queuing for foodbanks
and down to their last pound.

People struggling to get by
finding it hard to make ends meet,
and because many can’t pay the […]

Wigan the holders
beat the Bluebirds of Cardiff
the Latics march on.

Manchester City
beat the special one’s Chelsea
Pellegrini smiles.

The Black Cats go through
Sunderland knock out the Saints
Mackems are […]

She’s come back to us
and it’s been quite a while,
I’ve been missing her poems
as they amuse and make me smile.

She’s come back to us
the poet with an ode,
she’s the bard of Norwich
the wordsmith of Carrow […]

Up bright and early
got a train to catch later
watch my team away

Fans on the platform
singing and milling about
excitement building

A boring rail trip
some supporters playing cards
money changing hands

Cans of […]

Our stadium lies empty
the grass is overgrown,
but all we really want
is to return back home.

Our stadium lies empty
silence is all around,
empty seats and terraces
no singing in the ground.

Our stadium lies […]

Coventry City
outgunned at the Emirates
but do their fans proud.

The Hornets buzzing
they give Man City a scare
but Watford go out.

Wigan Cup holders
just squeeze through beating Palace
march on to fifth […]

I’m going to call the police
as this is now a major crime,
my team are losing again
and it’s now happening all the time.

I’m going to call the police
as I feel that I’m under attack,
our forwards are failing to […]

Sadly Eusebio has passed away
another great player from the past,
he was a genius on the ball
and with electric pace so fast.

He really was a great footballer
up there with the one and only Pele,
he was way ahead […]

Rochdale of League two
put out Championship Leeds
Spotland is rocking.

Sheffield United
the Blades too sharp for Villa
no Yorkshire puddings.

Grimsby of the Skrill
give Huddersfield Town a fright
mighty […]

The sales are nearly here
so who will come and go,
how about a decent striker
to replace the one that’s really slow ?

What about a tough tackling defender
to bring some steel to your back four ?
as your full […]

The little lad on Christmas morn
opened up his presents with glee,
but the gift that got him excited
was the Sky Blue kit of Coventry.

He jumped about in sheer delight
crying this was the best of all,
he couldn’t […]

Only the keeper to beat
but he pulls the ball wide,
how could he miss from there
“has he got something to hide ?”

That’s not like him at all
he’s usually mild mannered and fair,
but he’s gone and got sent […]

Kidderminster win
as they put four past Newport
the third round awaits.

Coventry City
get a draw at Hartlepool
have to play again.

Tamworth on telly
go out to Bristol City
so no league one scalp.

Cambridge […]

Seven thousand Coventry fans
decked out in their Sky Blue,
on their way to MK Dons
downing a pint or two.

We’re loudly singing our songs
as we slowly enter the ground,
inside we pack the away end
creating a wall […]

Yet more dodgy decisions
by the men in black,
no wonder Gus Poyet
tore the jacket off his back.

Wes Brown makes a good tackle
yet gets shown a straight red,
and that’s why Gus Poyet’s face
turned from pale to […]

It was sixty years ago
in November 1953,
came the Magyars
the national team of Hungary.

England said: “who’s the chubby one?”
he looks too heavy to play the game,
but the “chunky” man was a genius
and Ferenc […]

Each generation says the same
that our football is the best,
our players are so much better
and our teams are superior than the rest.

But what’s happening to our football
it’s full of divers who like to […]

Yes it’s here again
greatest cup competition
spills and thrills galore.

Mansfield go behind
yet go on to score eight goals
St. Albans shattered.

Bishop Stortford live
Sunday afternoon telly
Cobblers win the […]

He came recommended by Sir Alex Ferguson
to take charge of the Sky Blues,
and he’s building a young team
that just doesn’t like to lose.

And he’s doing a really good job
which has given us fans a lift,
and we […]
