1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 You’ve taken ten points off us,
But we are not dismayed.
There’s plenty more still up for grabs,
Loads matches to be played.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Of ten points you have stripped us,
But we’re not mice, we’re men.
So we’ll just roll our sleeves up,
And win them back again.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 You’ve really raised our hackles,
We feel like we’re at war.
So week by week and match by match
Those points back we shall claw.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We’ll fight them on the beaches,
Revive the Dunkirk Spirit.
Because this heavy sanction,
We surely do not merit.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 We’re circling our wagons,
Our backs are to the wall.
We do not seek a quick fix,
We’re in for the long haul.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Our flag is not at half-mast,
It flutters high and proud.
For we are not downhearted,
We’re bloodied but unbowed.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 You want to relegate us,
But we shall not surrender.
Our heads are above water,
We are not going under.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 We’ll fight for every loose ball,
We’ll chase every lost cause.
We’ll keep it tight and nick one,
We shall not let you score.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Our Home Ground is a fortress,
Away we’ve strong support.
So up and down the country,
You’ll hear the Toffee roar!

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 We’ve no friends in high places,
No saints in Paradise.
It seems nobody likes us,
Cos we’re not very nice.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 But we’re a Band of Brothers,
We are a Happy Few.
If we all stick together,
These dark times we’ll get through.

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 And when this Season’s over,
We’ll still be there, no fear.
We’ll not be in the Drop Zone,
Nay, we’ll be ten points clear!

13 Leave a comment on verse 13 0 19/11/23

Notes

This is my reaction to Everton having ten points docked for failing to comply with profit and sustainability rules.
