Premiership Football

The life of the average premier league football fan

This is the football Season it is that time of year
When men in the pub talk football as they enjoy their beer
And look forward to September when one club will fly the winner's flag
The team that wins the Premiership gives their fans the right to brag.

And if their team lose at the weekend they feel and look so sad
What's known as football addiction they seem to have it bad
They feel sad for their football team and the chance of three premiership points gone
But they cheer up and look forward to next weekend's game as the working week wears on.

This is the football Season football has gone to their head
And their football scarves and beanies they even wear to bed
About their team they feel so passionate as if to them it did belong
And its with delight and pride in victory that they sing the club song.

And their football scarves and beanies they even wear to bed - haha.. good one.. I was in Italy last time the World Cup was on and the streets were like EMPTY and all the eating joints & pubs were overflowing with people shouting at the screen.. good times

Finally, a poem about the number 1 sport in the world.
I loved it.

interesting what football team?

[TamerQtaish]

Its missing the rhythm for me,
Maybe its cause I am not much into a sport watcher in general, I say either play it or do something else!
But all together its a good piece

PS: Damn I need a beer!

There is a philosophical touch….
But why don’t you care for rhythm…
I think it will make the theme more attractive.

This is totally how it is as a football fan, you captured the essence of what it's like. I, too, am a huge football fan. Great poem.

For some reason I’m never a fan of my home town teams.

Here in the USA. We look for another team to cheer for. My two favorite are Germany and and your home country. Soccer is big with the kids. The European and South American understand the game. Here in Michigan. I'm a Detroit Red wing fan. Hockey is our sport in northern USA. A excellent poem.
