1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We have Ten cup finals left
In our desperate situation
We must all stand up and be counted
If we are to escape from relegation.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We ask the fans to get behind us
They can be our Twelth man
Now pardon me if I’m missing something
But I just don’t understand.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 If you had played the previous games
The way you talk about playing the rest
We would by now have the points on board
And not be in this mess.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 So please don’t ask anymore from us
In your patronising way
It’s you the players who wear the shirt
Out on the field of play.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 And of course we will support you
The way we always do
But if we are to get out of trouble
Then sorry……But It’s down to you.

Notes

The age old cliches are being spouted out again as the fight to retain our premiership status approaches the sharp end. If my memory serves me right our season started way back in August and then was the time ‘To stand up and be counted’, not now the threat of relegation hangs over our heads. Just wanted to get that off my chest. Keep the faith.
