Christmas Eve, and the snow isn´t snowing And nor is there much frost to see, At Colney, near Norwich, things seem to be going Better now, again, thankfully, We did have a blip, quite a large one at that A month or two back down the line, But after the Adams N/Robson spat Recovery has been just fine, Belief and confidence which had been drained Appears to be now back on course Players again, with their shackles unchained Are once again more of a force, There have been changes, most notably one In defence, to raise the eyebrows, Turner out to give Cuellar C a run And the improvement, it really shows, But just as significant in my view Is Hooper, now injury-free, Who, with O´Neil has jumped up the queue And their value is there to see, Naturally others have been pushed back down But that´s the sign of a strong squad, Champing at the bit, if the truth be known If they weren´t, it would really be odd, Coincidental methinks it is not That Phelan M´s arrival here, Signalled the regaining of this year´s plot In time to bring some Christmas cheer, So, may it last into twenty-fifteen And longer than that if needs be, So that in one year´s time we will be seen In the Premier League hierarchy.
