Here We Go Again – Your New Season 09/10 Poems
FOOTBALL POETS ON MYSPACE visit the site
Football Poets on MySpace
So it’s back. Sven’s at County, City are the boys under the palm trees and AFC and Luton are in the Conference. Ably supported by a local and manager-less Forest Green Rovers I add . Hey ho.
You’ve got the new kit , (in your mind)… renewed your season ticket, (in your mind).. bought everything going (in your mind), memorised the fixture list, (in your mind).. laminated it up to A3 and marked off televised away games (if you’re that lucky) on your Greenpeace /Official Club Calendar .
And that’s just about the rest of the year, and probably your ‘supposed to be precious’ life sorted too ? .Those with partners tread carefully, with regard to key date arrangements and stuff.Is it gonna be ‘same old-same old’? Probably but we continue, here in our 10th year online, (in our minds) on paper and here in verse! Just think, this time next year – the World Cup will be but a memory (in your mind).Time to get a 2010 wall chart. Bless.
.All “themed” poems will appear here and also (eventually) on the Football Poets MySpace site -which has a comments / messages section at

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!

Play Up Pompey indeed Richard .
My first ever proper game when i was 10 was Chelsea 7-4 Pompey on Xmas morning 1959, Greavesie got 4.
First visited Fratton Park with Chelsea (2-2) and stood among loads of sailors back in the old Second Dvision early 60s . That’s when I first heard the Pompey Chimes..
Last visited in the mid 2000s to run a football poetry workshop on racism with local young students in the Study Centre you had then at the time.
Had a great chat with some of your fans when you came here to Forest Green last season…
best wishes

Hey Rowan
Tough line up of opening fixtures but werlcome to the National League and to Football Poets.
I’ve often passed your ground but never actually been.
Had to remove the boxert poem , sorry ….only poems about football, though i did read your tenuous link!
