    How goes it Rushmere
    Are you still full of cheer
    Despite being beaten by Hull,
    One thing you can say
    On any match day
    The Championship´s anything but dull

    It surprised me some
    Your defeat by one
    Odd goal, after your first day spree,
    It must be the air
    Of East Anglia here
    That the Tigers like particularly

    Last year I recall
    They hardly had the ball
    When visiting the Delia Dome,
    But nevertheless
    They ended up best
    And a 2-0 win they took back home

    But this Tuesday night
    I see that the might
    Of Southampton visit your way,
    Would seem a good time
    To begin to prime
    The weapons you have, for the fray

    As regards my team
    As you may have seen
    We managed a creditable draw,
    Up Manchester way
    With reasonable play
    But you were right, we didn´t score four

    But Bolton, they did
    And dented the lid
    Of QPR´s PL premier,
    So a decent start
    I´d say, on our part
    But we´ll still need to move up a gear.

    I´ll be an interested listener on Tuesday. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I like it RBF, and I'm looking forward to the response! He did rather well last time. <ok>

    Well RBF, hello again
    Your rhyme is long I note
    But was this prompted by concern
    Or the chance to have a gloat?

    Let's try and take this point by point
    First of all, all's fine
    But thanks for asking anyway
    Oh budgie 'friend' of mine.

    After three goals scored in Brizzle land
    Saturday was poor
    I hadn't thought we'd win the league
    But I did expect much more.

    I know we're still three players short
    But the point that really galls
    In a truly hetrosexual way
    They should have shown more balls.

    That said, I'm hoping that I see
    An improvement Tuesday night
    A lot more bloody passion
    And a lot more bloody fight.

    So if we get that through the team
    And play at greater pace
    I'm confident we'll beat the Saints
    And put them in their place.

    So now to you, the cuckoo boys
    In your temporary nest
    That occupies the Premiership
    How was your first real test?

    I saw you scored from open play
    So fatty Grunty git
    Must have had a diving fail
    Do you think that that was it?

    And no, you didn't beat our three
    You managed only one
    With goals (and points) we stay ahead
    And have a game we won.

    A loss next and one point from six
    For you is quite a blow
    And a downward spiral will commence
    And back down you will go.

    But as our team develops
    And the players start to gel
    You'll find that we stay miles ahead
    As time will surely tell.

    See, there's only one East Anglian team
    With boots you'll never fill
    Your little club just can't compete
    And never ever will

    Even that old Delia bird
    Who we see with pot and pan
    She used to wear the blue and white
    She's an ex-tractor fan

    So even your club's owners know
    We win in terms of class
    And that their little budgie club's
    Not fit to kiss our feet.

    Looking forward to the next RBF - when you have that one point from six

    Morning Mr. R,

    You know me by now
    I´m not one to crow
    At others misfortune or fate,
    I´d happily see
    You promoted so we
    Can renew our old ´Derby´ date

    But what can I do
    If some will just chew
    And bite over every last word,
    No offence meant
    You old Suffolk gent
    But hang on a bit, that´s absurd!

    You really think Stoke
    Will come to Norfolk
    And trundle away with the points,
    With long throws alone
    It´s a long way home
    And painful for all our neck joints

    We know very well
    Just how tough our spell
    Will be, but we will beat our way,
    Past many a foe
    How many, who knows
    But the first could well be this Sunday

    I still think you might
    Even with some more fight
    Tomorrow, find Saints a tough nut,
    But good luck ´n all
    When they come to call
    A draw´s the feeling in my gut

    And if that´s the case
    And we win the race
    With Pulis and his pottering men,
    A win and a draw
    And a points total, four
    We´ll both be equal once again

    Call me Mr. Picky
    And this Canary chicky
    Thinks your writing, extremely fine,
    But try as I may
    There just was no way
    To encourage your last verse to rhyme. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Think I´d prefer to stick to light-hearted banter, what do you say Mr. R ?

    I think in this instance, the banter will suffice RBF
