    Two thousand sixteen, annus horribilis
    But not as horribilis as some,
    For some, more, who´ll be hoping, along with us
    Two thousand seventeen will become...

    ...annus mirabilis, and high on the list
    Of those years we like to recall,
    When soon, in our dotage, we sit by the fire
    And talk turns to that of football

    Down in the mouth at the start of the year
    And prospects low on New Years Day,
    But who can tell now, what seventeen will bring
    Or where we´ll find ourselves in May

    I´d like to think that Neil can turn it round
    For the thought of who else we might find,
    Especially with the names being bandied about
    Does not give me much peace of mind

    And seven points is hardly a million miles away
    From the play-off places as we stand,
    With twenty-two to go, it´s a marathon yet
    To know where everyone will land

    The board, who some see as a huge stumbling block
    Do not worry me near as much,
    As what the players have been churning out recently
    Even if they´re perhaps out of touch

    For if results do pick up, they´ll follow suit
    And back them, of that I´ve no fear,
    It won´t be the first time we´ve come from behind
    So it could yet be a Happy New Year.
