1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 They’re throwing next seasons, new threads to the crowd
Drogba’s boots have been given away
I smile as miffed punters, fill West London streets from our ground
As United rain on our parade.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Players kids take a leisurely stroll with their dads
As bleached fake tanned ma’s grace our stands
With talk of a move to another expensive posh gaff
Financed by outrageous, new contract demands from one’s man.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 A regular guy, who’s now our messiah
Is lauded by two faced supporters
Was it just weeks ago, they demanded, en masse he be fired?
Cast as a puppet, to whom our owner gave orders.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 What a day we were promised this week on TV
“It’s United’s to lose” they all said
Were the tellys at The Reebok not switched on this week?
As The Wanderers killed our end of term party ….stone dead!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Bolton’s travelling fans were waving their hands
In this strange style like Viking Stavanger
What does this mean, and can it be seen
At the homes they play, up in Lancashire?

Notes

Another strange day at The Bridge, as ould Fergie with his midweek comments spurs Bolton on to nick a last minute late equaliser and a point, though to be fair to the masses of Boltons fans, who made the journey up from Lancashire, and their team, they fully deserved something for sticking hard at it throughout the game.

Far too many drawn home games such as this one, may well have has cost us a realistic title shot in the end. Never the less a blinding season and Moscow still to come!
