Football Poets

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!

Very true Crispin. Thanks!

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…

Cliché heaven or hell..we get it all

Welcome to Football Poets  John

Thanks Crispin – noted re the boxer! Never know, perhaps we’ll get Forest Green in the cup… or Chelsea!

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!

Don’t worry Apollo, I have examined the evidence on YouTube – he looks great, the real deal!
