I am currently working on a poem about Saints managers but can any of you come up with a Saints related poem?
Managers part one When I first supported Saints we had Lawrie Mac Our most successful manager And that's a fact First came relegation And then the FA cup Then we got promotion And things were looking up Second in the top flight Runners up in the league cup Then he went to Sunderland With the best of luck Then came Chris Nicholl Who didn't do too bad Much better than Branfoot Nicholls job he now had Branfoot he was useless I can say without a doubt What sane manager Would leave our Matty out? What did Branfoot do for Saints? I would say f*ck all Finally the board saw sense And in came Alan Ball When Ball came in He did very well He got the best of Matty In his so short spell Dave Merrington was next He came in for a bit Dave was so good against Utd At half time they changed their kit Next season it was Souness I think we can all agree He will always be remembered For thrashing Man utd six three
I think this could be a great place for poetry of any sort for people to write, review etc. if you think that is a good idea...
Mike Dean, you ****ing **** I'd like to push you in front Of a fully laden concrete truck Cos as a ref, you're a useless ****.
Lee Mason and Mike Dean, the worst officials i've ever seen, put them together and more or less, you'll find there will be another fine mess....
Part of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet 43: I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

Based on a true story: I took my love down to the Dell, And there I lost her heart. For George Best stole my love from me And tore the Saints apart.
I’ve “written” this to express my feelings since lockdown and not being able to see the football at the ground. If there are any musicians out there who could perhaps throw another tone to go with my one tone, then maybe we could make this a double tone song. sorry if this sounds like serious looney behaviour ... ah well *shruggs “I never thought I'd miss you Half as much as I do And I never thought I'd feel this way The way I feel About you As soon as I wake up Every night, every day I know that it's you I need To chase the blues away It must be Saints, Saints, Saints It must be Saints, Saints, Saints Nothing more, nothing less Saints are the best How can it be that you can Play so much without fans? Bless you and bless me Bless our shots And our goals I've got to be near you Every night, every day I couldn't be happy Any other way It must be Saints, Saints, Saints It must be Saints, Saints, Saints” I’m working on a follow up about our new kit, called Baggy Shorts...... “All the coaches in the pub passing round the physios rub” If anyone thinks this is plagiarism, please stop being rude, boys.
Great effort Fats! I would point out that Labi Siffre wrote and recorded the original in 1971, so he deserves the royalties rather than that other bunch of eccentrics.
