I am a Football Poet Bozidar proud of Title from my Cover Image HAY QUE DARLE UNA HERMANITA appeared in Spanish Press on the Day of World Cup Final.
My Favorite poetry quote is Mevlana Rumi’s ‘Patience is the key to joy’ for which Paul Burrell refers in his book from 2003.

Paul Burrell.
‘It is said that patience is the key to joy’
My Favorite thought and citation also loved and spoken by his Boss.

Hi Crispin,
Thanks for the featured poem for the Arsenal Premier League victory. I love that photo showing the Arsenal ladies and fans in full rattle and rosette mode. I’ve seen it before quite a few times and, I think, a bit iconic. I think it was before the Gunners victory against Liverpool in the 1950 FA Cup Final. Great photograph.
Thanks

Thanks for that Joe. Yes it’s been some season we had a blip but came out of it and finished strong. A mate of mine supports West Ham here in Coventry and my next door neighbour is a Spurs supporter, and both are getting edgy ! I like the Championship though as it’s competitive and has some good teams, players, and fans. Anyway we are back in the top flight and who knows what will happen ?
Cheers. Kev.
