Ode to Woy

entry picture

Hoping for our games in Rio so that we won’t have to fly

Hoping for a group of minnows so that we might qualify

Greece, Algeria

We needn’t fear ya

Anyone else and it’s “Goodbye”;

Jesus Christ Almighty! We’ve got Italy and Uruguay!

 

Perlo, Balotelli, Buffon – players you would pay to see

Forlan, Suarez and Cavani scare me shitless, actually.

We’ve no class

Can’t score and can’t pass

Can’t keep possession properly

Jesus Christ Almighty! We’ve got Uruguay and Italy!

 

The odds we’ll get out of the group are long and are at best remote

We’ll be home before the postcards; now it’s Scotland’s turn to gloat;

We’ve no chance

Belgium, Brazil, France

Spain, Germany – I‘ll get me coat;

Greg Dyke knew what he was doing when he signed to cut his throat.

 

I see the headlines in the papers, “ROY OUT” all the tabloids cry

When the vacancy arises Harry Rednap should apply;

Teams weaker

Like Cost Rica

Expect to beat us too whereby

It won’t matter that we’re drawn with Italy and Uruguay.

WHERE DO YOU GO TO, MY LOVELIES? ►

I love the eternal optimism (ego?) of the north!
Never underestimate the Gunners when they are
finding fighting spirit and form. Wasn't it the
Man. City manager who predicted his team would
top the Premier League at the New Year? Hah!

I don't think so, Harry. I fear it's staying in Manchester.

Better actors too! And better at practising
taking penalties so they rarely miss when it
matters.

...in fact, they are known in journalism as "10-man Uruguay".

Unfortunately, MC, these days their hard-nuts are every bit as hard as our hard-nuts. (And they have skill as well).

Play up and play the English game
Of good old mem-or-ee...
When men went for the ball like men -
And the crowd told the referee.

Now the ref's a big girl's blouse
And most foreign players too
And this home of football now kowtows
To those we gave it too!
Chorus
Hack 'em Hack 'em Hack 'em down
You know the ways of old
Hack 'em Hack 'em Hack 'em down
Never needing to be told!
Hack 'em Hack 'em Hack 'em down
And recall when we were bold!
