Unlike Cricket, Football knows no boundaries; only corner flags.

The fat lady is now rhyming!!!

The season is here
It’s closer than near
The wait has been long
Nine weeks felt like a year

There’s money being spent
No one’s bought Darren Bent
Surprising I’d say
After he’s been club hopping the Anelka way

But there’s still time to go
2 weeks no more
for Sneijder to leave
and Fabregas to deceive

For Modric to depart
And Berbatov to start
For Nasri to follow
Clichy, and not his heart

For Eto’o to Anzhi
Can’t rhyme with Anzhi
For Arsene to buy
Come Wenger Don’t be shy!

For Sunderland to make
ten into eleven
acquisitions this summer
that’s far from a bummer

This can go on
from dusk till dawn
lets do the clubs
before Cesc is gone

Lets start off alphabetically
from A to Zee
and skip a few
of them in between

Twenty clubs
and plenty to say
Lets start off with Arsenal
who kick-off today.



Ah-hem...


Fallen from grace
year by year
Arsenal ‘s no Heaven
as they look to make it seven

Aston Villa can follow
my proverbial McLeish of new life
Young and Downing profitable
But will that mean new strife?

There was a club
Name, Blackburn Rovers
It was bought by Venky’s
And the Story’s over

Bolton aren’t exactly
A blast from the past
Yet every year
They happen to last

Chelsea are aged
except for their boss
Who if he’s unsuccessful
Will mean another Roman Loss

Everton are a team
who remain a top-ten
But as has always been the case
They’re unable to spend

Fulham are a bogey
for most traveling teams
But step out side the Cottage
And they’re Cravin’ for Neem… No idea.

Liverpool have been knocked
right off their perch
As a United fan I say
They’ll always be in the lurch

Sheikh Mansoor may
have the money
But even Tevez
can make him his bunny
One FA cup
and City are back
Well, come back when your trophies
are as high as United’s stack

Glory Glory Man United
All the live long day
The season looks bright
And it's about time
Number 20 is on the way

Norwich promoted
West Ham Demoted
the Canaries are singing their tune
But it wont be long
before they’re gone
to the Championship; Oh No! They’ve sung too soon!

Q.P.R.,
are back with a bang
They’ll be happy to play in the League
But if they pull out
all the stops of the season
That indeed will be an intrigue.

Stoke will live
up to their name
and douse the fires of critics
Delap’s long throws
and Delap’s long throws
will see them produce same ol’ tricks.

Sunderland bought many
but many were sold
where does that leave them
the future’s untold

Swansea who’s heard of?!

Spurs are fighting
For Modric and no other
Harry’s unwilling
to make a profitable blunder

West Brom, Wigan
And Wolverhampton are due,
The only thing I can say is that
they are 3 clubs that begin with W

Here are your teams,
All packaged in poetic ribbon
T'is the season,
Let the games begin!
