    Hordes o’ screaming travelling Manc’s
    Agog, up in The Gods stood giving thanks
    When that last gasp header crept in on full-time
    Appeared mysteriously dumb-struck
    At a partner, girl-friend, wife, sister, mum […]

    A ruse to suss-out her current beau
    Brede asked him would he like to go…
    “Over The Bridge”, to pay homage to the chaps
    “You mean…you’re like a die-hard Chelsea fan?”,
    “S’right babe, bleating proud of it I am […]

    Ah, those Clapham Common morning games
    Getting stuck in…to likewise puny frames
    A crunching tackle, deemed bravado, sport or fun
    The restraint a combatant need show
    To dealing a fitter young fella…The E […]

    Is there anything like the absolutely blinding thrill
    Watching a marauding one hundred mill?
    In the guise of our returning prodigal chosen one?
    Dump some hapless Gooner on his fife and drum
    Leading the line to […]

    Spurs have just beaten City…again
    Dismissed by Guardiola as, “The Harry Kane Team”,
    That’s four on the spin for the boys down The Lane
    Whom appear, right on Song it would seem?

    “We conceded due to loose b […]

    Midst dream during those twilight hours
    Used try discard our past, an ponder
    If…that bandy fella plied his trade at ours
    T’would be a sight at which to wonder…

    You know, stocky little centre forwa […]

    We’re absolutely over the moon here in West London
    As the new season gets ready to roll
    T’aint the millions splashed on returning prodigal son
    Or the epiphany of our geezer in goal.

    Nah, it’s waking up to a […]

    I speak not as a fan of a quote, fashionable club
    But as a long-suffering fan of a debateable game?
    Suffice to say I’m not sat quaffing pints in a pub
    Or, as far as I’m aware, teetering on going ins […]

    John-Joe sparked a smoke
    Cracked a snarky topical joke
    Bout Billy Bunter o’ The Arsenal, used play for us,
    “As for Over-Eden Hazard at Madrid?
    Injured? Who’s that Belgian trying a kid?
    Quaffing mayoed pom […]

    Outside Soho’s Bar Italia…
    As I passed by there, yesterday
    I’m sure I heard a suave barista say…
    (Pray, excuse my Italian by the way),
    “Calcio sta tornando a casa*
    Problema per l’inglese?
    E casa e Roma”.

    Aim dog’s abuse at; the manager,
    Spineless members of the team,
    The slick suave svelte, Forza Italia
    Destroyed a united nation’s dream.

    Try n ignore those rabid Billy Bunters
    Embarrass our beloved cou […]

    “Police Leave Cancelled For Final o’ Euro-nations”,
    Wary Britalians body-swerve their local Trat
    Packed trains lumber in to Central London stations
    Soused sardines, stagger-out, streaming to…the match.

    A dru […]

    By The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, in the city*
    Rumour has it and I quote…
    “Bankers haven’t witnessed Sterling fall that quickly
    Since the day of The Brexit vote”.

    Two balls on the pitch?
    At best, an iffy penalty kick?
    A green light beamed in Kasper Schmeichel’s face?
    Danish national anthem loudly booed?
    Flipped over a country’s triumphant mood
    To what us real fans loa […]

    An Exocet crashes neath a bar
    Courtesy of a fledgling rising star
    Progeny o’ Hans Christian Andersen’s wonderland
    Portly partisan punters scream aghast
    Having conceded one at last
    Coming home, ain’t looki […]

    A re-ignited Spain, should be applauded
    Their efforts praised, and rightly lauded
    Luis Enrique (of Gijon), prepped a proper mustard team
    Hats off to an out of sorts Alvaro Morata
    A shadow up-front, an area he […]

    Searching for Elysian Fields, Utopia
    Nirvana, The Golden Fleece, Tir na nOg?
    The next Bernard Briggs, Roy o’ The Rovers,
    Or the fortuitous ill-named Hand a God?

    Nah. Desiring dreams ain’t reality, true to […]

    In there, fighting still
    Beating Ukraine four goals to nil
    On a balmy night in The Eternal City…Rome.

    Time to shower, board a plane
    Fly back to Blighty, face The Danes
    On Wednesday night in our Eternal H […]

    Enthusiastic, far from sheepish flocks
    A colourful bleary-eyed sweaty sock’s
    Supping cans of reviving Iron Bru, march on parade
    An occasional, ”See You Jimmy?”, friendly shout
    Aimed at a puzzled South […]
