GREAT EXPECTATIONS - SOUTH AFRICA 2010

 

I never expected us to win the cup

That was always inconceivable

But if we played to our potential

The Quarter finals were achievable

 

But when the first ball was kicked

They were more nightmare than dream

So I just wanted them to do their best

Clearly too much to ask of our team 

SUMMER SEASON

 

The summer started oh so well

With a Euro football banquet

Though sadly the home nations

Were unable to attend it

But the Euros inevitably led

To the curse of footie nations

The summer transfer market

And the incessant speculation

After the Euros came Wimbledon

And I cheered on the plucky brit

Then suffered our inclement climate

While being bored by the Cricket

I watched the windblown whingers

Hacking round at the British open

Then courtesy of the highlights

I sat and watched it all again

Then more newspaper talk

Of who will stay and who will go

Who is in and who is out

And more stories about Ronaldo

Two weeks away on the costas

Helped to numb the pain

Then home to more paper talk

And of course more summer rain

Even the upcoming Olympics

Fail to give me inspiration

Thinking of all that track and field

Merely deepens my depression

The only thing to break my torpor

And to rejuvenated my heart

Is to hear that shrill whistle blow

And have the football season start

TIGER, TIGER - STROKE PLAY

 

Elin Woods admitted

Assaulting Tiger

“How many times”?

The police asked her

She thought for a moment

"I’m not sure exactly”

Then with a nod she said

“Mark me down for a three”

ARE YOU WEARING PLUS TWOS?

 

Are you wearing plus twos?

Well listen, here’s the bad news

It looks as though the plus twos

Have fallen out with your shoes

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 recognise it quite easily

For emblazoned on its side is

“Playing with sloth and lethargy”

A GAME OF ARRA’S

Me and some friends

Fancied a game of darts

I said, “Nearest the bull

To see who starts”

Johnny went “Woof”

And I went “Baah”

Then Danny went “Moo”

He was the closest by far

FIFA # 5

The beautiful game,

Is the life blood

Coursing through their veins

These guardians,

These stewards and rule makers

It fills their every waking moment

 

On the other hand

They are:

 

Frauds

Interested in

Football

A little 

ARE YOU WEARING RUNNING CLOTHES?

 

Are you wearing running clothes?

What on earth are you thinking?

You are in no shape for running

What have you been drinking?

I wasn’t born yesterday you know

You’ve had more than a tipple

You’ll be sorry I can tell you

When you end up with jogger’s nipple

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

ENGLAND COACH - CAPELLO

 

The new England supremo

Mr Fabio Capello

Plans to take the England team

And fulfil our football dream

To raise English spirits up

And win the next world cup

But it would seem

This is just a silly dream

As the only way Mr Capello

The poor deluded fellow

Will take a team as far

As the finals in South Africa

The only way he can deliver

Is as the German team coach driver

ARE YOU WEARING PLUS FOURS?

 

Are you wearing plus fours?

Well, they look just the job

The tweeds with argyle socks

But you do look like a nob
