It’s not all last minute winners … but it’s great when it is!

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Languid and slothful
like a Texan drawl
there’s been some dreary ol’ nights
for my beloved football

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Early season, mid season
late season end
there was nowt riding on it
so why pretend?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Nobody stepped up a gear
just went through the motions
there’s nothing in it this year
there’ll be no promotions

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 But in sheer contrast
just watch the Reds and Blues
Champions League contenders
always in the news

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Liverpool had it easy
United hit Roma for seven
but Essien ushers
a last minute heaven

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Players and fans go crazy
José jumps with glee
but his is merely a stepover
to the Fosbury floppin’ me!

Notes

Poetic licence : an implied ‘compared to’ in the last line

Champions League quarter finals this week :
Liverpool win through against PSV
Man Utd beat Roma 7-1
Chelsea beat Valencia 2-1 at the Mestella with a last minute winner from Michael Essien
