FC Basel 1-2 Chelsea

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 A game that defied logic –
For I would contend –
In our situation
You’d expect us to defend

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 First leg, minutes to go
Most would have shut up shop
One all away from home
But we continued to have a pop

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 So, we were all gung-ho
And Basel did the same
And so it was enthralling to watch –
Such an open ended game

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We’d gone ahead early
It looked like a clever flick
But really it caught him unawares
Bounced off our Vic

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 But then a strange decision
Ref points to the spot
They tuck it away
I figured that’s our lot

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 As it turned out
We stole it with a last minute free
David Luis precise
And we return home in glee

Notes

Europa League Semi Final, 1st Leg

Irish TV3 Anchorman, in all innocence, asked the panel …. (John Hartson & Marin Keown)…..

“Looking ahead to next week, any problems in the offing?
Did you see anyone tonight who could bite them in the backside?”

The obvious quick-witted response should have been…..

“Why, has Suarez signed for FC Basel?!?”
