Bradley’s been sacked.
There won’t be any prizes.
Pep’s bag is packed,
while he shops for disguises.
Phelan’s contract
ends with Hull still in crisis,
and the merry go merry, go round.Conte might […]

When you need a goal, you Payet forward.
When you’re down or drawn at one to one,
get Dimitri close, then check the scoreboard.
Payet forward, Son, and then you’re done. -

The Euros are upon us.
England likes her chances now.
She wants to make the final,
lift the Cup, and take her bow.
To make it true, there’s work to do:
those seven fields to plough.
The Euros are upon us.
England […] -

Football, how I loved ye
since when I could barely stand. Football,
how my toe’s touch moved ye,
once I’d stopped ye with my hand.Football, how I loved ye
deeply, daily, as a boy. Football,
ne’er a sport above […] -

Now that this season has ended;
now that the league’s done and dusted;
players you loved and defended
like kids – expectations adjusted:
put all that paid pain behind you.
Only look forward. Next season.
Forget […] -

When the last piece of grass
comes to pass, for more turf,
and these images fade
in dimension,
and the stadium roof,
as more proof we once played,
must stay closed as they pray
for invention;
when the world has […] -

Who’s ‘The Man’ now, Mr. Kane?
Vardy? You? Please tell us.
Maybe we’ll ask Gabriel.
Maybe Demichelis.
Can this streak endure, so
he can score the goals to park us?
Will Roy call his name for Euro?
I can help: it’s ‘Marcus.’ -

If Leicester wins the Premier League,
I’ll do a little dance,
for all the sides did not get up
and take their second chance;
supporters of the also rans
who never could advance.
If Leicester wins the Premier L […] -

Who ya gonna trade fer Jamie Vardy?

any striker left what don’t seem plain.
The days ‘r gone when you could pick the Speedster,

Went down to the Blues Cafe
to watch football the other day.
Server said, “The game’s not on.
I have the Club. The Special’s gone.” -

It started in the garden.
He was barely one year old.
He’d stand and get a hand
to every ball his mother rolled.
His father taught him how to catch.
This new skill made them smile.
They knew he’d be a keeper for […] -

My mother’d no money for music.
My father, he played back in school.
Just like my grandfather, before him.
They were hard men and nobody’s fool.
I struggled in reading and writing.
To succeed I was nobody’s […] -

I read a Steward
at the Stade de France
foiled the attack of one
who sought to enter
just to claim more lives… and make us fear …
… communing to enjoy
the game we cherish.
With the Bystanders,

“I no humour,” said the man.
“My side’s in fifteenth place.
By May we won’t have fifty points

All hail to the Hard Man! Cold,
flying in studs-high.
Midfielders keeping honest,
who once dithered.
Prototypes who starred when
sending off meant someone died.
Sure, from the sound of footsteps,
softer strikers […] -

We’ve all been there; the moment when we realize it’s lost.
It doesn’t have to be that late, or three to nil.
A mental shift occurs, then comes a weighing of the cost
of persevering when it’s hopeless, as if […] -

Somewhere a girl just kicked a football.
The way that it felt made her smile.
She promised herself she’d add one to her shelf
and that ‘sporty’ would be her new style.Somewhere a boy just kicked a […]

Embers of a sunset bleed
more light than warmth this hour
above this stadium, now empty like a sinner.
Victory cries once echoed,
where now concrete walls devour
dead dreams and memories of those who knew a […] - Load More

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!

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 there’s so much to write about the game and its literature just lends itself naturally to poetry. Sometimes I just get completely carried and I do apologise for the length of my poetry but it’s a great thrill to be associated with Football Poets.
Cheers mate

You’re right of course Joe but…..it’s actually more of a big welcome break for everyone who is not into Premier League ..I’m talking fans of EFL National League and below…..
Btw …is this actually your longest poem ever !?
