The Pessimistic Predictor

John J O’Connor

Friday, June 11th, 2021

I know with predictions you can eat what you say
ENGLAND EXPECTS
Things to go – England’s way

But here’s what I think
coach Southgate will preach
When they lose in the quarters
then head to the beach.
“The players they were tired they’d all had a long season
I’m not making excuses but it seems a good reason.
The lads were magnificent they gave all that they had.
To go out on those spots kicks was so very sad.
We practiced pen-os in training
We marked all our cards
But you won’t beat the Germans
when the balls at twelve yards.
We all feel for young Declan
He’s got the support of the group
But he’ll now get a commercial
Advertising Rice and bean soup.
We’ll regroup and move on
it will make us much stronger
England will lift up a trophy
Sooner rather than longer
We’ll Make England Great
I know it sounds Presidential
But it will be next year in Qatar
When we’ll reach our potential.”

Then a pressman storms in
And shouts from the back
Do you know Gareth
You’ve just got the sack?

The Magic Waistcoat

Thursday, July 5th, 2018

England win a penalty shoot out
now I don’t want to gloat,
but the secret behind it ?
Gareth Southgate’s waistcoat.
Colombia played really dirty
they went for our players throat,
but the Three Lions stayed cool
all down to Gareth’s waistcoat.
Our supporters all love him
he really rocks their boat,
not just for his coaching skills
but more for his trendy waistcoat.
If Southgate wanted to be Prime Minister
he’d certainly get my vote,
not for his political views
I just like his waistcoat.
So if we win the World Cup
it would be an achievement of great note,
and the reason for the success ?
Gareth Southgates magic waistcoat !
