    It was the perfect match up
    Under Wembley’s welcoming Arch
    As opposed to the Marble one
    At the end of Oxford Street
    Lucas and Jarrod
    It was the West Ham meeting
    Of great minds
    One the swarthy […]

    So here’s the deal
    Football’s Harlem Globetrotters
    Are in town over the weekend
    Art and beauty
    Merge as one
    A splash of yellow
    Across football’s
    Kaleidoscope of vivid
    Colours
    Brazil, yes […]

    Oh no not another
    Repeat FA Cup Final
    It seems only a year ago
    Since the spring equinox
    Brought us the cherry blossom
    Of the all Manchester Cup Final
    And here we stand again
    The real possibility of
    An […]

    And then there were four
    Well, not quite
    The FA Cup reaches
    Boiling point
    Yesterday we remembered
    The heroic exploits of
    Jimmy Hill
    When Coventry City
    Drove his first
    Fleet of cars
    Into Europe
    But who […]

    And so the European odyssey
    Surges forward unabated
    Like the rolling stone
    That gathers no moss
    With one notable exception
    The claret and blue collective
    Locks horns with the land of Teutonic
    Discipline and […]

    Time to roll up the sleeves
    It’s the business end
    Of the Premier League season
    Be prepared for ugliness
    Wars of attrition
    Desperate measures
    Relegation travails
    Trials and tribulations
    Scrappy, hell for […]

    Oh for the cruel injustices
    Of the offside law
    The very definition of
    A mundane goal-less bore
    Fine margins, sprays and
    VAR, toes, elbows and nose
    Quite frankly who knows?
    The game seemed […]

    And so the flame has been
    Snuffed out completely
    Stanley, oh Stanley
    Rebel, non conformist
    Vices and temptations
    You succumbed to so
    Sadly
    But the nation loved you
    And always will
    Stan Bowles now no […]

    Yes folks there’s
    An old friend
    On our doorstep again
    The hardy perennial flower
    That normally makes itself
    Welcome on the verge
    Of the springtime blooms
    But not quite yet
    Still, it’s the Carabao […]

    Prescot Cables FC
    Now there’s
    The sweetest sound
    Of them all to those who
    Adore the unfashionable
    And unknown
    Football in its
    Warmest corner
    Of a non League cupboard
    Next to the quaint
    Chest of […]

    So here we are in
    Deja vu territory
    In the Championship
    Title race
    Slowly building up
    A head of steam
    Pulses racing
    Bubbling up
    Nicely
    Temperatures soaring
    By April
    But now
    Familiarity […]

    Jurgen Klopp, hey
    A force of nature
    Irrepressible as
    The River Mersey
    Impregnable as the
    Albert Dock
    But what a sight last night
    Chelsea pummelled, rattled,
    Traumatised perhaps
    Battered and […]

    Hi Crispin,

    How are you doing mate? Yes, you’re probably right but hey football is all about emotion and passion and I just love writing about the game. I try to keep my poetry to a reasonable length but […]

    Oh for the inscrutable charms of
    The Far East
    So here’s the latest
    From tales of the Orient
    But not certainly not of
    The Brisbane Road variety
    No sight nor sound of Barry Hearn
    In Bangkok since my […]

    So what’s next on the itinerary
    For the Premier League
    Yes of course
    A welcome break
    Besides Saudi deserts
    Or Manchester City’s
    Oil fields of
    Superabundant cash
    Millions of lifestyles
    Bathed in the […]

    You must have heard the rumour
    It’s out there in the public domain
    Everybody’s talking about it
    It’ll dominate the back pages
    For one sumptuous weekend
    In football’s golden carriage
    It’s FA Cup third round […]

    It’s the ultimate tartan derby
    This lunchtime
    Celtic against Rangers
    It goes as far back
    As the beginning of time
    Or seemingly so
    The Auld Firm derby
    But not quite
    Auld Lang Syne
    That’s for another […]

    It was 60 years ago today
    Sergeant Peppers was hardly
    A child of nature
    Let me introduce to you
    The one and only
    West Ham United
    Boxing Day bonkers
    The heaviest battering
    Of modern times
    Confidence shot […]

    And so we think back wistfully
    To those nostalgia laced days
    When football used to be played
    On Christmas Day
    It was you know
    Now how did that one work?
    When turkeys languished in
    Ovens ready to be […]

    Oh for the stresses and strains
    On another exhausting season
    So goes the popular consensus
    In the world of David Moyes
    You can now hear those creaking,
    Groaning, snapping, rapidly
    Decaying claret and blue […]
