So Mark Robins has been sacked
ruthlessly shown the door,
leaving fans bemused and asking
‘ why and what the hell for ? ‘
He did so many great things
frequent visitors to Wembley,
penalty shoot out and […]

Well it’s almost upon us
a new football season near,

They have rode their luck
and huffed and puffed in matches
but never gave […]

‘England to win the Euros ? ‘
so here we go again,
every competition they’re in
it’s always been the same.
We get caught up in the hype
‘ it’s coming home we all cry,’
wear our England colours proudly
and […]

Well another season is over
that seemed to go really quick,
when one minute you’re on a high
and another left feeling sick.
Like that match at Wembley
with a sea of sky blue,
if not for a dodgy VAR […]

three down and on their way out ?
but hang on they’re turning it round
the City are in with a shout.
Its now all level at 3-3
us fans are all up on our feet,

The Sky Blues were the underdogs
not given much of a chance,
up against Wolves of the Premier
who would surely lead them a merry dance.
But the City had other ideas
a team that just never gives up,
even […]

A football club was formed
in the year of 1883,
calling themselves Singers F.C.
then becoming Coventry City.
Fast forward to the present day
what a 140 years it has been,
such as winning the FA Cup
became […]

Meet in the pub before the match
talk football over a beer,
then sink a few more
as the ground is ever so near.
Meet in the pub before the match
just got in before the heavy rain,

We’re back in the year of 1966
and I’m just a young lad,
watching the World Cup Final
on the telly with my mum and dad.
It’s England v West Germany

I’m lying down on the […]

Hamer […]

Nerves all jittery and fraught
fingernails chewed to the quick,
this is the lot of the football fan
end of the season and feeling sick.
One minute you’re staying up
the next on the way down,
that big smile […]

Jimmy Greaves was his name
he played the beautiful game,
didn’t really need to run
instead scored goals for fun.
Had his picture on my bedroom wall
kicking a muddy leather ball,
I watched him play when I was […]

Football and music belong together
they can go hand in hand,
just take a look at England’s squad
some could be in a rock band.
