1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We’re top of the league
Where we all wanna be
Leading the chasing pack
But because of the boring way that we’re playing
We’re giving our team the slow hand clap

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We’re not seems to me mid table mediocrity
We’re not even second or third
But because we don’t entertain the paying punters
They’ve decided that right now its the bird

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Relegation? Hardly likely
Champions League? No chance
To be booed during moods that are so subdued
Is the feeling of die hards to a man/woman

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Our game plan’s so predictable
Week in week out it’s the same
I’m much more interested in the victuals
Than what’s going on in the game

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 If I missed a home game, I’d tell you who’s in the frame
The way that we’re gonna play
Who’s gonna be substituted
Who’s being rested that day

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 It’s come to a sorry state of affairs
When true fans are rabbiting during the match
Is it a case of its the place where we all meet up
So we put with this side show thats called boredom
It could be, don’t ask me, I don’t know, perhaps

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 We need a few lows or “Thats just how it goes”
To inject in to our game some passion
To be so far ahead of those teams who wear red
Is boring, flat and not where its at
And hopefully not the new fashion

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Where’s the excitement you’ll win or you might’nt
The pure uncertainty of it all?
For one team to be skating away from the rest
Is no competition at all

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 What happened to last minute winners?
A great game of two halves facing Kop
I know I must sound like a whinger
But why score the one and shut up shop

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 To defend a one nil is boring and dull
To the fans who pay out hard earned cash
If this is the way the game’s going?
May as well aim yer season ticket to the trash

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Season in season out we throw our dough about
On buying the latest name to be
I’m not bothered by that as a matter of fact
But just please, please, please, please entertain me!

Notes

Yep. Been feeling this way for a little while now, after Saturday when in another part of the ground the whole team were getting the slow hand clap it would seem it’s not only me. I couldn’t hear it cos I’m slightly mutt n jeff (deaf) I did hear the booing for Didier Drogba and his sort of
theatrics cos I sit right where it happened and have discribed it in an earlier poem this week!

It’s come to something when all the fans are having a chat about whats
happening out in the real world whilst the match is going on!

This poem is having a pop at our team and not anybody else’s!

peace.

kev.
