Pogba at eighty nine mill
We’re assured is an absolute steal
Though a red faced Govan knight
Who had the foresight to bid him bye bye
Will be gutted he sold him for zilch!

Christmas, has just flown past Flags are flapping at half-mast An air o’ melancholy floats upon the breeze Sauntering past a cinders football pitch I relive every battle, fought upon it When we feared no-one, me and my Uncle Steve. Black eye’s, scraped knees, split lips Dead legs, slaps, sly digs in the ribs, “Huh! […]

“If The Toon score now, he’ll do his nut He’s lost his marbles, near enough What’s with all that static down the touch-line?”, “Geezers totally lost the plot Drop a couple o’ Yorkshires in the pot No, I’m fine with a cup o’ Rosy, you have wine. Ere, who’s he shouting and screaming at Never […]

Hmm…not sure a bunch o’ smug smiling faces Being papped at a legends lying in state equates, To what’s commonly known as respect in good taste? But hey…like the cloggers, inept thugs The Man…made appear consummate mugs That’s as close as they’ll get to the King called, Pele. Peace.

Colourful expletives pierced the air After witnessing a scene said, geezer write… Reminded of committed halcyon days A sly dig in the ribs, a clump, affrays Agin a whizz-kid, HP boots chalk dusted white. Not exactly blessed with bags o’ pace Our Dominic put his-self about the place Pinching, tugging, pulling hair, that sort of […]

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
