The poem kicks in after 20 mins and all the England discussions. . Football Poets got a great mention on the show, as Wendy Cope (the acclaimed Radio 4 poet and writer) also rang in after Crispin’s poem with a poem called ‘F for Football’. Issy and Spoony then discussed how diverse their audience was , and that they didn’t realise there were such intellectual (!?) poets out there (!?) and that Spoony better watch his speech from now …oh..so poetry is just for intellectuals is it…? lol !

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!
