    I feel sorry for Sunderland
    I honestly do
    And my pal Tommy is sorry too
    He’s supported his team for 65 years
    Since that first day he climbed
    Up those Fullwell End stairs.
    Often spending money
    That he could ill […]

    Crowded dug outs, like pre-match pubs
    Physios, Masseurs and Seven named subs
    Sports scientists, kit men, fitness coaches
    All vying for seats, as kick off approaches.
    Managers, assistants, and […]

    John Oliver published a poem on the site Football Poets 10 years ago

    Our season is over
    The fat man has sang
    ‘Money, Money, Money’
    In his broad cockney twang
    He’ll be back next season
    With another Twenty year plan
    While him and Pardew serve out a stadium ban.

    Hi I’m Pards
    The whole Nine yards
    ‘Ah could have been a contender’
    More Barry Hearns, than Thomas Hearns
    I’m your typical Eastender.

    Fanzines, Blogs, Dissenting voices
    Take your pick of ‘Hobson’s Choices’
    Renew season ticket, or walk away
    Strong of heart or feet of clay?
    Pardew’s angry, hearts bleed for him
    A false show of emotion
    Made up on a […]

    Meself, Two mates, and me best pal Syd
    Got nicked by the coppers
    And each fined a quid
    A hefty sum for what we did.
    We only played football in wor street
    Straight after school until late at neet
    Between the […]

    The City streets are silent now
    As when I called out the name
    For I get no response now
    And it is not quite the same.
    For the ECHO is gone now
    And that’s oh such a shame
    Once part of the fabric
    Of the once […]

    HE TICKED ALL THE RIGHT BOXES
    AND SAID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS
    HAILED AS OUR SAVIOUR (another one)
    AND TREAT LIKE A KING.
    AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, HE TALKED OF HIS PLANS
    THEN WITH THE FULL MEDIA CIRCUS
    WAS INTRODUCED […]

    Joe Kinnear…..Well what can I say
    That has not been said before
    Director of football at St James’ Park
    When he should be in ‘Geordie Shore’
    For his language is choice
    Comes in the colour of blue
    All those […]

    Excuse me mate, could you show me
    The way to the ‘Sports Direct Arena’
    I’m from down the smoke you see
    And I’ve never ever been there.
    My big pal Mikey went and bought it
    Then cor blimey changed It’s name
    Mike’s a […]

    Tim Krull is overated
    And Coloccini’s far too slow
    Excuse me telling great big fibs
    But I dont want them to go.
    Cheick Tiote’s very poor
    And Cabaye is so naive
    There I go with those fibs again
    But I dont want them […]

    I am proud to say that Gary Speed played for my club.
    He was once described by Sir Bobby Robson
    As a ‘blue chip player’, a proper footballer.
    Admired by all, from the ordinary fan like myself
    To his closet friends […]

    ‘Newcastle Broon Ale’ now brewed in Yorkshire
    St James’ Park changing it’s name
    The demise of these Geordie institutions
    Is the world finally going insane ?
    But as long as the Tyne flows through my City
    And as […]

    You can brand us as all naive dreamers
    And that our bubble will burst just you wait
    But just go for a pint in the City
    And see smiling faces on Gallowgate.
    For there is no better place on the planet
    When the […]

    We have been there before
    We can go there again
    Champions league football
    The riches, the fame.
    The top Four positions
    No longer a closed shop
    And I can’t stop myself thinking
    Is there now room at the top?
    Maybe […]

    Hartlepool United live on the tele
    Jeff Stelling will be over the moon
    ‘Angus the monkey’ delighted
    And it came not a moment too soon.
    It’s great to watch lower league football
    But next Sunday, normal service […]

    No -one can deny us
    We are where we are
    Seven games in and unbeaten so far.
    Playing good stuff and into 4th spot
    Our form like this weather
    Has been pretty hot.
    We are the surprise packet
    Well into Autumn
    With our […]

    Now I know it was late when I got home
    But I still felt rather shocked
    The curtains drawn, the lights were out
    And every door was locked.
    I threw gravel at the upstairs window
    To attract the wife’s […]

    So the transfer window came and went
    And my club hardly a penny spent
    And now faces a winter of discontent
    As lifelong fans their anger vent.
    Unwavering support, has been betrayed
    As they sold players who should […]

    Roy Race of the Rovers and Blackie Gray
    How much would this pair cost today
    But even Mike Ashley a cheque might write
    To have them both in Black n White.
    Replacing Shola Ameobi and Demba Ba
    But am I just wishing […]
