I feel sorry for Sunderland
I honestly do
And my pal Tommy is sorry too
He’s supported his team for 65 years
Since that first day he climbed
Up those Fullwell End stairs.
Often spending money
That he could ill […]

Crowded dug outs, like pre-match pubs
Physios, Masseurs and Seven named subs
Sports scientists, kit men, fitness coaches
All vying for seats, as kick off approaches.
Managers, assistants, and […]

Our season is over
The fat man has sang
‘Money, Money, Money’
In his broad cockney twang
He’ll be back next season
With another Twenty year plan
While him and Pardew serve out a stadium ban.

Hi I’m Pards
The whole Nine yards
‘Ah could have been a contender’
More Barry Hearns, than Thomas Hearns
I’m your typical Eastender.

Fanzines, Blogs, Dissenting voices
Take your pick of ‘Hobson’s Choices’
Renew season ticket, or walk away
Strong of heart or feet of clay?
Pardew’s angry, hearts bleed for him
A false show of emotion
Made up on a […]

Meself, Two mates, and me best pal Syd
Got nicked by the coppers
And each fined a quid
A hefty sum for what we did.
We only played football in wor street
Straight after school until late at neet
Between the […]

The City streets are silent now
As when I called out the name
For I get no response now
And it is not quite the same.
For the ECHO is gone now
And that’s oh such a shame
Once part of the fabric
Of the once […]

HE TICKED ALL THE RIGHT BOXES
AND SAID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS
HAILED AS OUR SAVIOUR (another one)
AND TREAT LIKE A KING.
AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, HE TALKED OF HIS PLANS
THEN WITH THE FULL MEDIA CIRCUS
WAS INTRODUCED […]

Joe Kinnear…..Well what can I say
That has not been said before
Director of football at St James’ Park
When he should be in ‘Geordie Shore’
For his language is choice
Comes in the colour of blue
All those […]

Excuse me mate, could you show me
The way to the ‘Sports Direct Arena’
I’m from down the smoke you see
And I’ve never ever been there.
My big pal Mikey went and bought it
Then cor blimey changed It’s name
Mike’s a […]

Tim Krull is overated
And Coloccini’s far too slow
Excuse me telling great big fibs
But I dont want them to go.
Cheick Tiote’s very poor
And Cabaye is so naive
There I go with those fibs again
But I dont want them […]

I am proud to say that Gary Speed played for my club.
He was once described by Sir Bobby Robson
As a ‘blue chip player’, a proper footballer.
Admired by all, from the ordinary fan like myself
To his closet friends […]

‘Newcastle Broon Ale’ now brewed in Yorkshire
St James’ Park changing it’s name
The demise of these Geordie institutions
Is the world finally going insane ?
But as long as the Tyne flows through my City
And as […]

You can brand us as all naive dreamers
And that our bubble will burst just you wait
But just go for a pint in the City
And see smiling faces on Gallowgate.
For there is no better place on the planet
When the […]

We have been there before
We can go there again
Champions league football
The riches, the fame.
The top Four positions
No longer a closed shop
And I can’t stop myself thinking
Is there now room at the top?
Maybe […]

Hartlepool United live on the tele
Jeff Stelling will be over the moon
‘Angus the monkey’ delighted
And it came not a moment too soon.
It’s great to watch lower league football
But next Sunday, normal service […]

No -one can deny us
We are where we are
Seven games in and unbeaten so far.
Playing good stuff and into 4th spot
Our form like this weather
Has been pretty hot.
We are the surprise packet
Well into Autumn
With our […]

Now I know it was late when I got home
But I still felt rather shocked
The curtains drawn, the lights were out
And every door was locked.
I threw gravel at the upstairs window
To attract the wife’s […]

So the transfer window came and went
And my club hardly a penny spent
And now faces a winter of discontent
As lifelong fans their anger vent.
Unwavering support, has been betrayed
As they sold players who should […]

Roy Race of the Rovers and Blackie Gray
How much would this pair cost today
But even Mike Ashley a cheque might write
To have them both in Black n White.
Replacing Shola Ameobi and Demba Ba
But am I just wishing […]
