Time for another ‘Team Effort’?
You might remember the fun we had adapting Book titles in football pun fashion, prompted at the time by The Big Read series on BBC2?
(see the poem entitled – The Big Read : fun with puns,
under poet : Team Effort)
This time I propose the following : a graffiti wall – read the list below and you’ll get the gist.
Any further suggestions can be marked : ‘Attn Clik’ and sent to : editors@footballpoets.org
Our thanks to Webmeister Dave who has done some work in the background, to enable this one e-mail address to reach ALL the Football Poets editors.
Dave is also hoping (at some point in the future), to re-activate the guestbook in Forum format. More details will follow.
Graffiti Wall
~ Trad ~
Jesus saves : but Dalglish nets the rebound
~ Graffiti Poet ~
“Kopites drool as Cisse Djibrils!”
“Terry’s Pure Goal!”
“Keane’s Mean!” Heinze.
“O’Shea Okay To Play!”
“Murphy’s bitter? not half!”
“Gerrard well ‘ard!”
“The Wayne in Spain causes Moysie loadsa pain!”
“Lamps Cramps Fergie’s Champs!”
“Owen, Goin’…Gone”!
“Fish nets a whopper!”
“Germany can’t but Oliver Kahn!”
“Deco Decks Dacourt!”
“Becks Flicks Flukey!”
“Real Rule” – Raul!
“Davids over the moon, Marc Overmars!”
“Shearer fleeces defences!”
“Riise to Raise game!”
“Babbel’s Bubble Burst!”
“Jesus fed the 5000 but Wayne ate all the pies!”
~ Clik the mouse ~
Lidz luvs Lodz
Manny, one of many Man U
Gazza, gizza guzzle
dissed Distin dosses
Waddle Hoddle huddle
pacey Possee passes (as in Derek Possee, ex-Millwall)
Husky Heskey has key
Dado Prso precise
fit Split flit
Totti N’Gotty grapple
Ling Tong Liddel Eyal Poe (to paraphrase the Goons)
BUT
You might well say :
Is it poetry
Or punditry
Or is it just pandering
To a meandering
mouse / muse
The whole exercise probably prompted from having to hammer home a vocal drill for one of my young offspring :
“This, that, these and those, this is the way the ‘th’ goes”.

Today B.B.C post on F.B was titled:Premier League reduced to 18 clubs? I really think it may be interesting to see if this would be Everton’s nightmare and this poem is well suited for this concern.If there would be more difficult battle to stay if there were 18 teams.Great poem and somehow true.

‘Three Teams Worse Than Us’ from our Toffee friend Denys in Italy, also sums up how FGR fans currently feel. Yes, in our case, with two going down to the Conference, it could be entitled ‘Two Teams Worse Than Us’, but three would make us feel even safer.

Enjoy it while you can, although I’m sure Mbappe could well be bound for St James

There still remains a magic about the early rounds of the FA Cup that the premier league / internationals can never match.
Coventry Sphinx v Leicester Nirvana sounds so much more than a tale of two cities etc. etc.

Very accurate indeed!
Palace home for me is always a tough journey as well. From the wilds of west London to Selhurst is a random journey into the unknown.

Lovely stuff for one of the best.
We love him to death down at the Palace.
I’ll post my Roy poem a bit later. You’ve inspired me to finish it.

I’d like to think some of my scarves might get passed down the generations, but can’t see some of the “quality merchandise” I have making much past my son’s generation. They’ll fall apart before he even has kids, I reckon!
