Blued Away

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Days will come to tell the tale
Of when Valencia were blued away
“Grandma, don’t you mean ‘blown away'”?
No youngster, I mean what I say

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I may have a blue rinse now
But I remember it like it was on TV last night
It was one of those memorable games
Once in a blue moon: the first leg was tight

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 It was all level on goals as they kicked off in Spain
Mourinho had a blue-print for success
It didn’t work well initially
At the beginning, Chelsea didn’t really impress

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Half-time came and Jose gave them a little talk
He shouted till he was blue in the face
They buzzed around like bluebottles
Created hope and a bit more space

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 More goals scored but still level heading for extra time
Special J the main ingredient in this serial
Hanging onto the semi-finals with both hands
Do not adjust your aerial

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Then came a bit of blue sky thinking
A last minute winner for Chelsea – out of the blue
Essien was the blue-eyed boy
And Joses technicolour team of note went through

Notes

Well done Chelsea, a good match to watch. Will be supporting Liverpool in the semi – follow the Reds and You’ll Never Walk Alone.
