The Just Made It Up Cup

Sorry Swindon
for denying you Europe,
after you beat Arsenal
to win the Football League Cup.

But beating the Arse
isn’t enough, when
you’re still a mere
third division football club.

So, we’ve invented
the Anglo-Italian Cup
just for you, and other
unfashionable clubs.

You’ll get to play
the best Italian football offers
and we get to send Palace
and other assorted duffers.

The Italians will see
our clubs as exotic, so
Juve v Hull or Luton
will be gigantic,
send them suitably ecstatic.

Bet we can keep it going
for a couple of years,
until the Italians ask
“Why aren’t we playing
your Liverpool’s or Spurs”.
