“David is the very embodiment of why it’s called the beautiful game.”

True Dat! (From a Chelsea fan).

And then…. it takes another special talent to embody that  pure grace into words on a page (or screen).

Chapeau, Steve.

Big Sam and Jay-Jay!

Some of us “Southern Softies” still hold a candle for what was a breath of fresh air way back when!

Thanks for sharing Dennis.

Great poem Dennis, thanks for sharing.

‘Get stuck in’ … the same managerial advice we were offered as 3rd Tolworth Cubs, back in the day. And at half-time, the same refrain, slightly amended: ‘The trouble is, you’re not getting stuck in enough …’

Thanks very much Sharon. Appreciate you taking time to peruse n enthuse. Hmm…are you perchance, the former poet known as PMG? Stay safe, come what may, and have a good day. Kev.

Lovely poem Kev.

I am interested in the tale about The
Boot Room and Shankley

Hi Sharon

Please see my private message re  arecent use of one of your poems  from Manchester  cheers C

Hi Daniel,

Good to see you are still writing about the ‘Tic. Hope all is good with you.

Best, Sharon

So true mate.

You’re certainly  not alone in your thinking. I get incensed sometimes.

Aside from the endless and stillwith its -here once labelled  Fergie Time moments ,we now have VAR with  its far off decisions by supposed ‘neutrals’ .

So …the  supposed influenced ‘integrity’ of refs and neutrals favouritism ?

You could tuck it away into some corner and call it yet  another football conspiracy theory, (like analyzing  and searching to find which teams refs follow and VAR assistant refs (if we knew ) but it  still occurs too often for me.

It raises the question is there such a thing a a real neutral. Everyone who watches football definitely  supports or has a soft spot for some club however tenuous..

BTW When  I was 10 and the Munich Air Crash happened.   i (and many at my school in Fulham) was a Chesea fan but took United on as my second lcub for a season through that awfdul time.   Now FGR are my life and my team  in the next village and i drum (when we get back)  on the terrace at 72 with the young kids and scoff vegan pies and get bwind Dale’s green vision for the planet …

Go well Attila and stry safe with your good lady….
