We´re going to play well and get nowt
Many times on our travels this year,
For yesterday wasn´t the rout
Many feared that it might appear

But the margin for success is small
A spilt second´s all it can take,
A tackle or an unfortunate fall
And the ref´s a decision to make

I think this one he did get right
Well at least, the penalty part,
The red, when it came was a fright
And finally tore us apart

But up until then all I saw
Was an even match heading its way,
To what would have been quite a fair draw
Based on chances and run of the play

So bearing in mind the two teams
One newly promoted, and one,
Expected to have title dreams
We can be proud of what they have done

We gave´em a scare for a while
I´m sure even they would admit,
And matched them for fight and for guile
And uneased them more than a bit

To hell with the result, in a way
Our play was what mattered and it´s back,
From what we saw there yesterday
We´re as good as the rest of the pack

As the next three games could well show
Two at home, and the other up north,
They could just help our points to grow
If the players keep showing their worth

But a hell of a lot they can take
From Stamford Bridge this August day,
As we all now head for a break
Much faith has been restored, I´d say. OTBC

PS,

Where I am the sun´s shining bright
No dark clouds at all to be seen,
A bit like when viewing the sight
Of our lads in yellow and green.
 
Excellent RBF <applause> and sums up the game entirely, up until the penalty either team could have won it but a draw was looking likely and fair for both. On this showing I'm confident we have enough to compete and stay up in this League :emoticon-0105-wink:

Morning sir!

A mighty fine display by our team, and what a delight to see our talisman is up and running!

I'm more convinced than ever, providing we stay away from 3-5-2, we'll more than survive this league. <ok>

Agreed dave, I thought he looked a lot sharper than in the first two games, took his goal really well too, loved the scowl on JT´s face as he slid into the goal.:grin:
