It was 1966 when England played host

Defeating West Germany, four goals to two in the scoreAnd there, beneath the […]

The pride of England.
In any contest
There is a winner
And a loser
That is the natural order
To regret is futile
On Sunday fate will decides
If it’s coming home or
Going to Rome
We’ll salute the players
For their spirit, commitment and humility
The pride of England. -

The immovable

The irresistible
Who will give in?
The unbeaten
In the last nineteen encounters
Or the last, last specialists
Who habitually snatch victory
From the jaws of defeat.At stake the Championship […]

Nerves shredded

And shortest day,

Only laminated by festivities of Christmas

When nature sleeps and
Many human wish they could,

On the summit of the Championship,
Buoyed with the knowledge that,
Boro rarely lose on Boxing Day
And also rarely concede,
On Boxing Day.
We waited to make the summit,
Our home for the rest of the season.

Hi Crispin,
Thanks for the featured poem for the Arsenal Premier League victory. I love that photo showing the Arsenal ladies and fans in full rattle and rosette mode. I’ve seen it before quite a few times and, I think, a bit iconic. I think it was before the Gunners victory against Liverpool in the 1950 FA Cup Final. Great photograph.
Thanks

Thanks for that Joe. Yes it’s been some season we had a blip but came out of it and finished strong. A mate of mine supports West Ham here in Coventry and my next door neighbour is a Spurs supporter, and both are getting edgy ! I like the Championship though as it’s competitive and has some good teams, players, and fans. Anyway we are back in the top flight and who knows what will happen ?
Cheers. Kev.
