10th Place Beckons

So tenth place beckons us tomorrow night
If we can take care of the Swans,
And Moyes and United can pick up their act
And start to put right a few wrongs

And at worst, with a win, eleventh we´d be
With Juletide just around the bend,
All things considered at this halfway stage
Such a feat would show we´re on the mend

With Hooper now scoring and Fer pitching in
And chances coming thick and fast,
And Wolf out there waiting to get in the thick
Of things, there´s much promise at last

It was really only a matter of time
And the feel good factor of some wins,
Before we were likely to see some effect
From the players that Hughton brought in

And if, in the coming weeks that lay ahead
We have again Tettey and Snod,
And Pilkington fit again it can only
Be beneficial to the squad

So for the first time in quite a few weeks
The pressure is not near so great,
On Hughton nor on his players, which should help
Them enjoy, entertain and create. OTBC

 

Alright, on the win we missed out
But what was it a wise man said,
If you can´t win, then take home the point
Especially as the opposition led

And we were closer to the win
I think, than those possession freaks,
And only ´take your time´ Mr. Vorm
And the bar, saved blushes on their cheeks

But what a great strike from the ´Hoops´
Suarez-esque in every respect,
With a finisher like him on board
It can´t help but have an effect. OTBC

 

You think you're a poet
But I think you should stow it
The Swans deserved the draw.
Fair result t'was on the day
'Possession freaks' we did OK
Based on what I saw

Bassong was bad when Dyer struck
Flat-footed and inept
But he went passed in a flash
And over the line it crept.

Dyer now in hospital Bassong should buy the flowers
But tenth is not a place you'll get
Because you see it's ours.

 

10th place beckoned, now it’s gone
Dyer pelted past Bassong
Over the goalie he did lob
The defender doing half a job

How can he stop the canny Swan?
“I’ll jump on him” said Bassong
Little Dyer stood no chance
No longer did the Canaries dance

Hooper struck a wicked blow
The match was even, to and fro
The ref did whistle, the ball did stop.
Canaries and Swans will avoid the drop

But 10th place? It’ll be too much
For the Canaries 14th they’ll touch
The Swans will fly so Laudrup reckons
For the Welsh outfit, 10th place beckons

 

You've clearly got more time on your hands than me mate. Well done.

 

I impressed myself with that - and it was only a five minute job

 

I´ve never once said that I was
Others may think so, because,
For much of the time
My offerings rhyme
But I´m certainly no Wizard of Oz

And as regards the Bassong, Dyer crash
If Dyer hadn´t made such a hash,
Of fouling Bassong
And getting it wrong
All our teeth would have been spared the gnash

Fortunately, seems as if there´s no break
