Just A Moment ( In The Time Of The Season)
so how did it go this season
how did it happen for you
all of those hopes and euphoria
what were the things that came through?
did you go higher and higher?
or was it a case of exist
all of those moments wasted and gone
all of those chances you missed
or did you dive down to the depths of it all
down to the end of the line
was it down to the wire – in the thick of the fire
did it pass like a moment in time?
and what were the lessons of learning
when was the moment you knew
when did the dream for your own little team
turn into a nightmare for you?
and what was the greatest of moments
was it Beckham’s free kick against Greece
I was there in a bar on a sweet Greek isle
you could float on the air of release
was it Zola’s back-flick against Norwich
or Arsenal’s great night at Man U
or was it that cooll celebrations
the way only Cameroon do?
but everything’s only a moment
what was it Brian Clough said
“it takes just a second to score a goal”
the next one’s the ball’s in the net
a moment and seasons are over
a moment and all of it gone
no time for why – or how it l flew by
but moments like these they go on
and all of it just in a moment
it never makes sense but it’s true
and time just stands still in those moments
so how did they happen for you?
—————————————————————
so what was your moment…just a moment…
ponder contemplate and discuss..fellow comrades
one world ..one game… one moment.. one goal..
these are mine..and yours?
hear me now…westside..

Today B.B.C post on F.B was titled:Premier League reduced to 18 clubs? I really think it may be interesting to see if this would be Everton’s nightmare and this poem is well suited for this concern.If there would be more difficult battle to stay if there were 18 teams.Great poem and somehow true.

‘Three Teams Worse Than Us’ from our Toffee friend Denys in Italy, also sums up how FGR fans currently feel. Yes, in our case, with two going down to the Conference, it could be entitled ‘Two Teams Worse Than Us’, but three would make us feel even safer.

Enjoy it while you can, although I’m sure Mbappe could well be bound for St James

There still remains a magic about the early rounds of the FA Cup that the premier league / internationals can never match.
Coventry Sphinx v Leicester Nirvana sounds so much more than a tale of two cities etc. etc.

Very accurate indeed!
Palace home for me is always a tough journey as well. From the wilds of west London to Selhurst is a random journey into the unknown.

Lovely stuff for one of the best.
We love him to death down at the Palace.
I’ll post my Roy poem a bit later. You’ve inspired me to finish it.

I’d like to think some of my scarves might get passed down the generations, but can’t see some of the “quality merchandise” I have making much past my son’s generation. They’ll fall apart before he even has kids, I reckon!
