Fantasy Football
Red and white, blue and green
What colour represents your football team?
Is it the colour they actually play in?
Or is it the one that they play away in?
These days of course,
some teams have three strips
To make you shell out more money
when you’re on your away trips
How long will the new manager last?
Longer than those sacked in the past?
But being sacked can be a managers dream
They get ‘compensation’ for picking
a useless team
Results are what they’re judged on of course
Getting knocked out of cups makes it worse
This may be the only opportunity for success
Chances of winning the league are much less
The boardroom is the ‘powerhouse’
But some chairmen are more like Mickey Mouse,
when it comes to running a club
Some go bankrupt, they can’t do the maths
People say they couldn’t run a bath
The players themselves can be a pain
Ducking, diving, never wanting to train
They’ll fake everything including injury
Especially if it’s being shown on TV
The VAR will catch them out
So falling over giving an excruciating shout
Won’t fool the ref and his assistants
The cameras will have it sorted in an instant
But the fans will have the final say
The players can kick and scream all day
But it’s bums on seats that fund their pay
If the team Is crap and not performing
The supporters can start walking
Faster than their team can run
And that’s it folks our club is f… done!

Thank you Stephen, yes many years ago I ran a junior team and it’s very hard work. You have to be steal and borrow just to get kit!
