He travelled over from Dortmund to manage the Pool
And the boys on the Kop thought, “This guy looks pretty cool”
With his heavy metal football and baseball cap
He came across as a rather endearing chap
But for […] -

For the first time in history in the third tier
Some misguided souls thought there’d be nothing to fear
As we sang to ourselves that we weren’t really here
Away trips to some truly grisly dives
Against opp […] -

I’ve travelled all over Europe following the Blues
The story’s always the same – eventually we lose
But this year the final in Porto awaits
Though it should have been Wembley, and that really grates
But we all […] -

Cheers Crispin, yeah I’m absolutely gagging to get out there and start ranting at people again. Online zoom gigs have been a godsend and invaluable for the sanity – but nothing like the real thing!

It’s finished at Sunderland
Manchester United have done all they can
But is it enough?
The players look to Ferguson, even he doesn’t know
Cos at City, there’s still two minutes to go
For all the trium […] -

Spanish Dave
So quiet on his debut, has he got what it takes?
He’ll need building up, better feed him on steak
They said “21 million, it’s some kind of joke
What use will he be on a wet night at Stoke […] -

Maine Road Matchday 69
A week at school wished away
Until at last it’s Saturday

Solemn commitment to worried mum
“I’ll be ok, I’m meeting a schoolchum”
Usually a lie, some […] -

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
