Ode to Roy
Don't get your hopes up (A repost)
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.
Hodgson knows he’s got just one chance; Hodgson knows it’s “Do or Die”
Fleet Street hacks are sharpening pencils; “ROY OUT” we’ll read in July;
Teams weaker
Like Cost Rica
Expect to beat us too whereby
It won’t matter that we’re drawn with Italy and Uruguay.

Hello MC. Thanks for commenting. It was a re-post but I thought the timing vindicated some Old Shite.
