Ups And Downs And Ups

[royalbarclayfan]

It´s amazing what a win can do
After two poor results,
The smiles are back and belief too
Instead of scowls and sulks

And good that Neil is managing
To keep a level head,
To lose his would be damaging
And lead us all to dread

No signs of that though, none at all
As far as I can see,
From day one he set out his stall
Aiming for victory

Whether or not he´ll get his way
We won´t know hereabouts,
Yet, although he´s not fallen prey
To many lingering doubts

There have been downs, if only slight
Along his winding trail,
But they have soon been put to right
Before they turned us stale

Impressive that, for one so young
When older, wiser men,
Find it hard up on the top rung
And fall off it again

It would be nice, before the end
To see how Neil copes,
With the top rung, as it would lend
Us to have high, high hopes

I´m not giving up on that yet
Although with such a pack,
Chasing it down, I´d like to bet
We´ll have to watch our back

So as we round the final bend
In this, what, eight horse race,
I hope we have enough to send
Us to an auto place. OTBC - INIT

Have a good afternoon, and enjoy your break

Brilliant RBF and I for one am not 'counting any chickens' yet - far too many twists and turns to negotiate before May.
I'm keeping May 25th free - just in case!!!!

Yes indeed it is and even if we need it and get there I'm not sure if I could cope with the highs and lows of such an occasion!!!!

If and when and what if and whatever, I shall be putting my feet up, in hopefully some sunshine, and willing them all the best - not a lot more any of us can do really. Let´s hope we don´t need it!

It's still possible that we could finish 3rd and our lesser talented cousins could finish 6th

Funny thing is, I've got very little recollection of the 2002 final. I remember the two semis against Wolves quite well, but the final is a bit of a memory blank.

..........or perish the thought, they could finish 6th and we could finish 7th (even more )
