1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Fourth Round Replay – Norwich v Blackpool

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 If we get tango’ed
Then bang go
The hopes of a fan
And a team of also-rans
Turnstiles admit low-earner returners
Our manager admits it’s a long night ahead
Hoping for a better day
The few in the football bubble
The only world they know
They only get paid
While we continue to go
As long as crowds are paying
They get away with playing
The way they do
Bring in On Target Earnings
Commission on results
It will stick in their gullets
To be treated the way we are
As the cost of surviving
Shoots over the bar

Notes

Maybe it would soften relegation if we won the FA Cup. Ha ha, what a load of Norfolk Dumplings.

I think the crowd may well vote with their feet for the replay, no lack of respect for Blackpool – we haven’t won a game for ages and it gets on your wick as we say round here. Anyway, it’s only Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the fifth round.
