WHO DOES HE SUPPORT?

 

 

“England are out what did you think?
What a free kick” he gave me a wink
“Those Brazilian's are good though
Best team won don't you think so?”
Now he wasn't English that for certain
And he surely didn't look Brazilian
Now there a clue a sardonic grin
He really must be of Celtic origin

VIMTO TANGO

 

 

Placebo, Subuteo, and Scenario
Portfolio, Pinocchio or Fellatio
Are these words from everyday?
Or footballer's from Brazilia way

INTRUDER ALERT - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

After security failures

In South Africa

Surrounding England

In particular

FIFA want to ascertain

How certain individuals

Could gain entry

Without credentials

To England’s dressing room

The ones causing most worry

Were Emile Heskey

Glen Johnson and Gareth Barry

WHEN SATURDAY COMES

 


I support them as they're from my hometown
I've supported them for years it would seem
Before the start of every single game at home
They announce the crowd changes to the team

 

Come next year the team may well be in Europe
But that would only happen if there is a war I fear
If you ask them “what time does the match start?
They just reply “well what time can you get here

 

The team does a lap of honor if they win the toss
This does at least get the meager crowd humming
To take the pressure off and to help our keeper
We put a Bell in the ball so he can hear it coming

 

We have the strongest team in the football league
From the bottom we have to hold the rest up
We're always the bookie's favorite for the drop
For we've never won a title a trophy or a cup

 

My father exposed me to this when I was a boy
Since, Saturday afternoons are spent in torture
I now expose my children to sad match days
And their children will also suffer in the future

CAPDEVILA, SPAIN 1, PORTUGAL 0, - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

Capdevila has reached the pinnacle

Of herculean World Cup feats

He has joined the pantheon

Of notorious world cup cheats

WELL MY LORD, SPAIN 1, PORTUGAL 0, - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

Did you think Lord Triesman mad, for saying?

That referee’s might me bribed by Spain

If so, did watching the sending off of Costa

Give you any doubt and make you think again

GOOD BYE TOMMY

 

Good bye Tommy

Celtics gentleman

Respected by professionals

Respected by the fans

 

Good bye Tommy

Celtic servant and friend

A rock and pillar

Until your early end

 

Good bye Tommy

High in our esteem

The Celtic angels now

Have a new man on the team

WHO PUT THE GER IN ANGER

 

Waves of Rangers blue

Relentlessly Attack

Wave upon wave

Push their opponents back

 

But this valiant effort

This Rangers blue tide

That moved with precision

Pushing opponents aside

 

Did not happen in the stadium

Nor was a ball at their feet

This game took place

On Manchesters city streets

 

The Waves of Rangers blue

With alcohol fuelled Fight

Brought to bear upon the police

Their vengeance and their spite

 

But if during the match

Such passion had been on show

Then the UEFA cup

Might have gone to Glasgow

A SWIFT EXIT - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

England left for the airport

On the wrong bus, apparently

For emblazoned on its side was

“Playing with pride and glory”

 

England’s bus was possibly stolen

You will recognize it quite easily

For emblazoned on its side is

“Playing with sloth and lethargy”

BLATTER’S FOLLY

 

Everyone wants a video ref in the game

There are no dissenting voices I can name

Fans shout their support and managers want it

Players are in favour and even the refs want it

Because it is a change that really matters

Everybody wants it except Mr Blatter

TIGER, TIGER - CHOICES

 

Tiger Woods was undecided,

Iron or wood that was the quandary

Eventually he settled on

A Fire hydrant followed by a tree
