Football Poets

Going to Fellows Park with my Dad
I thought football was simply great
But then came the turning point
For a lad who’d just turned eight
My cousin said come with me
I’ll take you to Molineux
To watch Wol […]

We’ve been here before
We’ve seen the highs and the lows
We’ve rolled with the punches
And absorbed the blows
We’ve been here before
And though we put up a fight
We lasted three seasons
But it just never f […]

As the new season approaches
There’s anticipation in the air
Now we’re back in the big boy’s league
The waiting’s more than we can bear.

So many rival clubs are jealous
Because we have owners with re […]

As relegation draws ever nearer
Some things have become so much clearer

This model club, once held up as a shining light
Has lost all hope, all ambition, all fight

And as fans watch games with tears in […]

Let the knockers knock
Let the haters hate
Let the snipers snipe
Let the gripers gripe

Let the booers boo
Let the clappers clap
Let the shouters shout
Let the doubters doubt

Let the whingers […]

Riding high at the top of the league
People want us to fall flat on our face
But the wise ones know we cannot be caught
And realise they’re in a battle for second place.

The fancy foreigners who can’t sta […]

Addiction is an awful thing
Once it gets into your blood
It makes you do things you shouldn’t do
And ignore the things you should.

You could be addicted to smoking
Or drugs of any kind
Or maybe where y […]

No more negativity,
No more fearing the worst
No more thinking after three wins
The bubble is going to burst.

The players are full of confidence
The way that I should be
But after years of […]

It will be a pity
If we lose to City
But it won’t be a big surprise
Promotion is the aim
Not one day of fame
And Nuno has his eyes on the prize.

And if the cup final
Goes down the urinal
Well some may t […]

After last season’s disappointment,
When things just didn’t work out,
Fosun have made the decision,
There’ll be no more messing about.

So calling on Jorgé Mendez,
To consult his little black book, […]

Last season we bought players
Thirteen in through the door
The fans were loving it
And still they wanted more.

But it turned into a disaster
There really was no hope
With a squad of thirty-four
The […]

This season has gone from bad to worse
Being a Wolves fan is like a bearing a curse
With the highest highs and the lowest lows
The old fans say “That’s how it goes”

The young fans single out players to be […]

When Fosun arrived the new broom swept clean
But sacking Kenny Jackett was rather mean
Two record breaking seasons and one that was bad
He had done his best with the funds he had.

And so poor Kenny was shown […]

When a football club is in decline
And slowly sinking in the mire
Steadily heading towards relegation
With football that’s just dire

When you have an owner with no interest
And a coach without a p […]

Over the years we’ve seen some dross
Football so bad it makes me cross.
From Hoddle, Saunders and Solbakken too
And now Kenny Jackett’s delivering similar poo.
Negative tactics, players falling so deep
Whilst the […]

Twelve months ago we were flying high
League One champions the year before
Back in the Championship and pushing hard
To win promotion to the top tier once more
We played well all year but for a November blip
To […]

This day, this day
It’s been a long, long wait
As three thousand travelling fans
Bolster the gate
It’s at Ewood Park that the die is cast
This day, this day, it’s here at last.

It’s been ninety eight days
A […]

The nutters and skivers
The whingers and divers
The crash test dummies
And bonkers drivers

The cloggers and fighters
The bathroom firework lighters
The sly shirt tuggers
And shoulder biters

There’s ones who t […]
