    even if you’ve been outpassed 
    and at times a tad outclassed
    though attacks come thick and fast  
    leave your doubts all in the past 
    when you’re way past second guesses
    when the odds are far from ev […]

    Emma Hayes we need you
    how long can we be
    hanging on for dear life
    always endlessly
    still afraid to take a chance
    ev’ry now and then
    why are we perpetually
    winging it again ?

    constantly relying on
    the […]

    like the times you lost your way
    somewhere back in time
    nothing seems to click at all
    doubts consume your mind
    sometimes you get dragged astray
    nothing works and then
    something pulls you through the […]

    marching on in strength and style
    signalling the rest
    Lionesses humble Wales
    with six of the best

    from the so called Group of Death
    England battle through
    Sweden lying up ahead
    still so much to […]

    when it clicks you lose the fear
    all those doubts just disappear
    let’s just mark it as a scare
    when your mojo’s back

    scintillating on the ball
    pressing high and standing tall
    so together one and all
    and […]

    games where your stream from the starting blocks
    games where you’re right there on top
    games where you feel like you’re all systems go
    games where you suddenly stop

    games where you start like a wild […]

    it’s starting to get pretty close now
    it’s getting right down to the line
    and the moment this Glasto is over
    it’ll be Women’s Euros time
    for a festival played with a spirit
    and whether we rise or we […]

    a quarter of a century
    it’s been a space for you and me
    a pitch for creativity
    the home for football poetry

    at twenty five years on we stand
    with laptop phone or pen in hand
    to share with words that […]

    Hi Steve

    I’ve come across you before on the live poetry circuit…something  I’ve also been involved in since the late 90s at slams, gigs and festivals. Did you ever get to Glasto?

    I was also at Swindon […]

    Hey Denys..love this

    “You may be a miner working down a pit.
    You may be a rock star playing sold out gigs.
    You may be a fireman putting out a blaze.
    You may be an inmate chalking off the days. ”

    Not just […]

    the way he’d glide majestic’lly
    like some young whippet running free
    who’d tear defences clean apart
    in classic red the beating heart
    of that great line up of the day
    the times that I saw Denis play

    a […]

    ‘You’re Supposed To Be At Home’ is an excellent and moving  poem Denys.

    You start off thinking it’s just about another oft-sung  chant, one we personally heard a lot last season throughout our second r […]

    it’s still a long road up ahead
    we’ve only just begun
    we’re right back where we started
    among the fallen ones
    the mountains that we’re facing
    draw strength to just keep on
    as our belief grows strong […]

    far from the finished article but back for the start
    still reeling from two relegation seasons
    we board the coach with renewed hope

    Ewan who I’ve never met before
    shows me images from away games
    and w […]

    whose woods these are I do not know
    but to a hilltop ground they go
    and as we climb in Summer heat
    this well trod path beneath our feet
    will lead us high above the town
    and carry us both up and down […]

    even though we swear we won’t
    something sucks us in
    armchair managers emerge
    when the games begin
    once again we do it all
    ev’ry time it seems
    caught up in the flow and vibe
    caught up in the […]
