Freezing on the terraces
Worn under a coat

hungover from night before
Hair of the dog please

Your best player on way out
Gutted once again

Now he’s gone to his new club
Better leave it blank

Something wrong somewhere

Rollercoaster ride

On up the Championship
Keeping positive

Hope your team brings you some joy
