Carling Cup

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Eight wins in competitions –
Best since turning professional in 1899,
Club record Six away wins in league –
Eight in all competitions,
One defeat in twenty games –
In all competitions,
Scored in seventeen and
Seven clean sheets in eleven games,
Inflicted first defeat on previously unbeaten Crystal Palace,
Goal machine Marvin Emnes –
Eight goals in nines games
Nine hundred minutes unbeaten
Dreams of seven years ago
Crumbled to dust
For the want of a can of WD-40.
