A word in your ear From a friend up here It´s early days yet don´t forget, And from what I´ve seen You´ll cause many a team Problems with your striking jet set But the real hell Of this here PL Is mistakes made, however small, Down at t´other end Get no time to mend The hammer will immediately fall We found to our cost With each point we lost Last year just how hard it can be, But I´m sure you´ll learn And the tide will turn As it did for us, gradually And bearing in mind Your start, all would find Points extremely hard to come by, Even Wigan too For when you are new Any game can still go awry So chins up you lot Don´t all go to pot Just because the cupboard´s still bare, There´s miles yet to go In this crazy show Just enjoy the rarified air. It´s good to have you back, and I´m sure things will improve.
Oh I'll save it into a folder and read it on special occasions. Those being... what's this No Panic file..? Oh that..!
He still pops in time & again, but he's not a fan of the money league, in fact I'd go as far as to say it pisses him off a fair bit.
I think I've mentioned it a few times, but if Saints weren't in it, I'd avoid the Premier League like it was the plague. Much prefer the Football League, with its relative lack of hype. If there was a petition to go back to First to Fourth Divisions I'd sign it.
I would tend to agree with him, but unfortunately such is the face of football these days, the only things vaguely recognisable from the 1950´s when I started going, are the size of the pitches we play on. But when it´s the game you love, you tend to look past all the warts, obscene money or not, no-one in their right mind would ever turn down the chance to play in the Premier League. I hate all the money that´s involved these days, but until the ´Rangers´ effect hits some of the top Premier League spenders, nothing´s going to happen, and maybe not even then.
