TOLD YOU SO

Andrew Detheridge

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Calling all sports writers:
bow your heads in shame!
All those who scoffed and wrote us off-
will you now accept the blame?

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Mr. Mullery and Andy Gray-
have you anything to say?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Sky TV and Grandstand-
you should both, for shame, hold up your hands.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 And poor Sir Jack Hayward- step forward, take a bow.
Your ‘Akinbiyi Hat-trick’ line really showed us how
to motivate your enemy to win at any cost.
As soon as you said the words- we knew the Wolves had lost!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 and, last of all, young Clinton
of Crystal Palace fame,
who said he’d score for all Wolves fans
and help them win the game.
But when the match was over,
you’d neither scored nor won.
So, while we’re in the Premier-
do enjoy Division One!

Notes

Written after Albion’s promotion to the Premier League, despite every solitary pundit on TV and in the papers predicted we would falter.
