It´s easy to poke
Some fun at Stoke
And the aerial route that they use,
But every year
They continue to appear
In this flight so give them their dues
With physique to the fore
It´s not on the floor
Where much of their best work is done,
But once in the air
Well then I would dare
To say that they´re second to none
The remedy then
Seems clear, but those men
Give every last litre of blood,
And if they´re not matched
In fight, that´s attached
To skill, it may still be no good
But our lads are used
To that, which will boost
Our chances when this game is played,
Although a stalemate
Like last year´s home date
Is threatened, so don´t be dismayed
They are hard to beat
With just two defeats
Although wins are too, hard to find,
With none yet away
Of the games they´ve played
But draws in the six out of nine
So this will be tight
And maybe no sight
For the squeamish, or those weak at heart,
But each to his own
It´s not ours to frown
We can only just play our part. OTBC
Hoping for a slim win, but expecting 0 - 0
