TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS EMBLEM

 

Tottenham Hotspurs emblem

Is a cockerel that the fans don

And as the emblem is a bird

The supporters egg them on

BRAZIL ARE OUT - 2014

 

Brazil are out

But nobody figured

They’d be well

And truly Müllered

THE FOOTBALL ISN’T UP TO MUCH

The football isn’t up to much

We are all sensing doom

At half time the directors

Go off to the bored room 

FOGHORN LEGHORN

 

Foghorn Leghorn

Was sent off the field today

The referee claimed

It was for persistent fowl play

A STRIKER AND A MAGICIAN

 

A striker and a magician

Clearly have in common

An almost instinctive ability

To do hat tricks effectively

SUAREZ IS TOTALLY SCREWED – BRAZIL 2014


Now the evidence is viewed

And the enquiry will conclude

That Suarez is totally screwed

But what I think is rude

Is that he plays with his food

CINDERELLA’S TEAM IS BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE # 1

Cinderella’s team is bottom of the league

They’re even lower than the bumpkins

But it’s obvious why they struggle

Because the team coach is a pumpkin 

ONE OF MY TEACHERS IS A RUNNER

 

One of my teachers is a runner

He does it fanatically

But I don’t have him for PE

I have him for Jog-raphy

I WAS BEATEN UP BY A HULA HOOP

 

I was beaten up by a hula hoop

A round, bad-tempered fink

It was a totally unprovoked attack

It was a “vicious circle” I think

THE CANNIBAL OF AJAX – BRAZIL 2014

 

Whether you call him Lucho

Or El Pistolero 

Or the cannibal of Ajax

Or even El Conejo

Suarez needs to understand

Biting people is a no no

BIMBETTE ENTERED A SWIMMING COMPETITION

 

Bimbette entered a swimming competition

In the breaststroke much to her alarm

She came last and claimed she was cheated

As the other swimmers used their arms

I LOVE IT WHEN WE BEAT THE AUSSIES

 

I love it when we beat the Aussies

It’s a bit of a passion of mine

Because they are such bad losers

I’m way up on cloud nine

I like to ask them, “Would you like

Some cheese with that whine?”

A YOUNG WOMAN GOLFER

 

A young woman golfer had just started

Her round, when she was stung by a Bee,

It was so painful she abandoned the game

And returned to the clubhouse for sympathy

 

Her golf pro saw her as she returned

And wondered why she was back so early 

So he went to ask her what was wrong

And she told him “'I was stung by a Bee”

 

“Oh dear, that’s awful” he said “Where?”

He was sympathetic right from the start

“Between the first and second hole”

She replied wincing at the stings smart.

He nodded knowingly and said

“Then your feet were too far apart”

A QUICK BITE – BRAZIL 2014

 

Luis Suarez thought the response

To his biting Chiellini quite amazing

He couldn’t understand the outcry

As for a cannibal he was only grazing

HEROES RETURN – BRAZIL 2014

 

England will fly home

Into Glasgow Airport

Thus ensuring, a heroes

Welcome of a sort

I NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WOULD COME

 

I never thought the day would come

In fact I would have thought it absurd

When the Football sense of “Brazilian”

Wasn’t the most popular use of the word  

WHEN I SAW MR MESSI PLAY

 

When I saw Mr Messi play

I was disappointed I must say

I had to take a second look

But he was nothing like in the book

AN ITALIAN NIBBLE – BRAZIL 2014

 

Suarez should be hungry

Like all strikers

But for goals

And not other players

I LIVE IN A SMALL WINDMILL

 

I live in a small windmill

I’ve never lived in one before

It’s in a little seaside town

On the promenade by the shore

It’s nice, apart from the golf balls

That keep coming thru the door

THE MAGYARS CAME TO PLAY

 

In nineteen fifty three

The Magyars came to play

Bamboozling Billy Wright

The Beckham of his day

When Puskás dragged back

He made Billy Wright esquire

Look like a fire engine

Heading towards the wrong fire

 

On 25 November 1953, at Wembley Stadium

England 3 Hungary 6, Ferenc Puskás scored twice

BEND IT LIKE URI –BRAZIL 2014

 

The reason England failed

So says a guy in a Favela

“It’s all the fault of that

Spoon bending fella”

“We’d have won if we hadn’t

Snubbed Uri Gellar”

BRAZIL 1970

 

The Brazil side was

The best I’ve ever seen

They were the best

Team that’s ever been

 

Pele, Rivelino and

Jairzinho, Holy Trinity

Of the Champions

In Nineteen seventy

BRAZIL

 

The Brazil of old

Used to be a team of flow

A samba side with flare

Pass and move, give and go

 

The modern Brazil

Though, are a team of guile

Deceit and cunning

Replacing the cavalier style

 

The Twenty fourteen Brazil

Are a team of moments

But if they fail in them

They fail in tournament’s

TODAY’S PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS

I think today’s professional footballers

Worry far too much about their hairstyle

And should pay as much attention to detail

On the training ground once in a while

ENGLAND INEPT IN BRAZIL 2014

 

There has only been one thing

More inept than England and it 

Is Alan Shearer’s pompously

Hapless performance as a pundit

A SPANISH GOLFER WAS STABBED

 

A Spanish golfer was stabbed

Not multiple wounds, just the one

But nobody knew just exactly

Who it was made a hole in Juan

YOU HAVE TO FEEL SORRY FOR PHIL NEVILLE

 

You have to feel sorry for Phil Neville

Compared to Gary, he was a lesser player

Now he would also appear to be

Second best as a football commentator

If he entered a Phil Neville lookalike contest

He would finish second to his brother

ENGLAND IN BRAZIL 2014

 

 2010You should always have a plan B

In Completive football I’d say

Unfortunately for England though

They neglected to have a plan A

IF FOOTBALLERS SPENT MORE TIME

 

If footballers spent more time

Training and practising their skills

Instead of feeling the sting

Of the tattoo artists drills

They would gain the fans respect

Instead of looking like utter pills

DOWN AT THE STABLES

 

Down at the stables

We have a dirty phone caller

Who we have nicknamed

The hoarse Whisperer

A PHYSICAL JERK

 

I never take any form

Of physical exercise

I don’t want to be fit

If I see a jogger with

A smile on their face

Then I might try it

WIMBLEDON TOP CEED

 

The top ceed began with

A firm backhand

Which was a bit harsh

On the ball boy

ELATED JOCKEY

 

Jumping the last, sure footed,

Never a hint that he may fall

And after winning the race

The jockey felt five feet tall

BRENTFORD VERSUS WATFORD

 

Brentford versus Watford,

Is basically me against my cousin

The Bee’s against the Hornet’s

I’m telling you we’re buzzin

ONE OF THE TEAMS AT THE OLYMPICS

 

One of the teams at the Olympics

Made a clean sweep good and proper

Taking the Gold, Silver and bronze

As well as all the lead and copper

MURRAYFIELD RENAMED MUDDYFIELD

 

It had rained for days on end

The pitch had had its fill

So much so that the turf moved

But the scrum stayed still

LONDON 2012 OPENING CEREMONY

 

Nothing surprised me more

About the 2012 Olympics

Than the opening ceremony

It was astonishingly good

I must admit I had my doubts

I feared a parade of stretch Limos

Disgorging scores of scantily clad

Essex girls wearing plastic tiaras

And a climax of the ceremony

Would have been a group

Of Hurray Henrys from the city

Dropping their trousers

And farting out a rendition

Of Rule Britannia

Before one of the bare arsed brokers

Would use an Olympic torch

To light a fart

And subsequently ignite

The Olympic flame

THE INTERNATIONAL SAILING RESULTS ARE IN

 

The international sailing results are in

The GB took the gold medal once again

While Somalia took a middle-aged couple

Who were on holiday from Colerain

AT THE OLYMPICS THE ROMANIANS

 

At the Olympics the Romanians

Made a clean sweep good and proper

Taking the Gold, Silver and bronze

As well as all the lead and copper

SIX BANNED WHEELCHAIR ATHLETES

Six banned Wheelchair athletes

From the Paralympics team GB

Were found to have tested positive

For WD40

FIFA HAS BEEN INEFFECTUAL

 

FIFA has been ineffectual

In its fight against Racism

In stark contrast with the rise

Of pan European Fascism

Who seem more likely to

Kick football out of Racism

 

HE DIDN’T CUT A DASH

 

He did not in anyway

Cut a dash

His skinny legs

Hung below his shorts

Like two pieces

Of knotted string

And yet he ran

Like a gazelle

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I COME

 

I am proud to say that I come

From a mixed race family

My mum was a sprinter

And dad did cross country

BLACK SOX

 

In the 1919 World Series

The Black Sox scandal took place

When the Chicago White Sox

Much to their disgrace

Threw the series

To the Reds of Cincinnati

An event of epic proportions

That will forever live in infamy

BERT TRAUTMANN

 

Goalkeeper Bert Trautmann

Was from a different age

When top flight players

Were not spoilt and pampered

He didn’t live in a mansion

Or have a selection of sports cars

To get to work on match days

From his home in Stockport

To Maine road in Manchester

He had to catch two buses

HE’S AN INSTINCTIVE PLAYER

 

He’s an instinctive player

A natural and prodigious talent

Or so they say, I think its

More by luck than judgment

 

I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER THE MATCH

 

I was driving home after the match

Listening to the report on the BBC

It was described as a fascinating contest

Which surprised the hell out of me

Far from being an interesting match

It was the most boring thing you could see

IF NANI WAS IN YOUR TEAM

 

If Nani was in your team

Would you enjoy his flare?

Well, I can tell it has its place

But he just shows off to be fair

You can carry a player with flare

But if they’re doing badly

He’s no more than a waste of air

ARE YOU WEARING FOOTBALL SOCKS?

 

Are you wearing football socks?

Well yes you’ve got the right team

But you have forgotten to wear

The rest of the kit it would seem

RED SOX

 

For a Bostonian

At his pleasure

Has a particular calling

When at his leisure

 

And that’s at Fenway Park

Where he spends the day

With kindred spirits watching

The Red Sox play

BACK IN 1966

 

Back in 1966

When I was just a boy

I was full of pride

Watching Nobby’s jig of joy

And when Bobby Moore

Was raised shoulder high

Holding the World Cup

We all began to cry

THE LAST OF THE SUMMER WHINE

No sooner had the stumps been pulled

Then the Vintage Aussie Whine was served

Made from their abundant sour grapes

It was to toast an English victory well deserved 

ARE YOU WEARING A FOOTBALL SHIRT?

 

Are you wearing a football shirt?

I like lady footballers for my sins

My only regret in your regard

Is you choose shirts instead of skins

THE CROWD WENT WILD

 

The crowd went wild

And the opposition reeled

As the Chicago Bugs

Won again at Wriggly Field

ARE YOU WEARING EAR MUFFS?

 

Are you wearing ear muffs?

Sorry but that’s how it appears

After all how was I to know?

That you have cauliflower ears


BACK IN 66

 

Back in 66

When I was just a boy

I was full of pride

Watching Nobby’s jig of joy

And when Bobby Moore

Was raised shoulder high

Holding the World Cup

It made every Scotsman cry

ARE YOU WEARING FOOTBALL BOOTS?

 

Are you wearing football boots?

Well, I can see you’re ready to play

I have just one small criticism

Namely we’re playing Golf today

IN THE LONDON MARATHON

 

In the London Marathon

One of my friends ran

Dressed as a chicken

While another one ran

Dressed as an egg

I don’t know who came first

WE HAVE A MIDFIELD GENERAL # 2

 

We have a midfield General

Highly talented but temperamental

A hard-working terrier

But on a bad day he’s just mental

OUR TEAM PLAY AT AN HISTORIC GROUND

 

Our team plays at an historic ground

We on the terraces all proudly roar

All the visiting fans shout in reply

That it’s an old run-down eye sore

WE HAVE A GREAT SCOTTISH INTERNATIONAL

 

We have a great Scottish international

By the name of Jim McKee

Well, when I say he’s a Scottish

His parents once went to Dundee

ARE YOU WEARING A REPLICA SHIRT?

 

Are you wearing a replica shirt?

So what team is it you support?

I don’t recognize the badge

Who the hell are Southport?

THEY’RE PUTTING ON ACTIVITIES

 

They’re putting on activities

For those whose lives need enhancing

Well I’m hard of hearing

And of the activities they are advancing

Budgie jumping, parrot shooting

And hen gliding 

Might be worth chancing

But no way am I going to have a go

At the Lion dancing

GREAT DEPRESSION

 

I have been diagnosed with depression

But I won’t let it beat me

I have been on the Internet

And I’ve found the treatment for me

It’s the 18-step plan

And I start on the first tee
