breaking news
deadlines nigh
read between
yellow lines.
in the studio
on location
roving reporters
live to the nation
as the news it breaks
it drops
it falls
deadline day
a free for all.
now we're live
to Matt or Jim
let's hear what's
going on within
the deepest bowels
the inner sanctums.
chairman hid behind
pulled blinds
players sign
on dotted lines
managers lean
from gleaming cars
deadlines loom
days turn to dark.
while the whirlwind
outside unfurls
you're caught up
in its heady world
like a trader
in the ring
BUY! BUY! BUY!
your voice it sings;
you need that striker
defensive cover
midfield maestros
not just another
year of endless misery
carpe diem
opportunities
to make the difference
live the dream
travel Europe
worlds unseen.
the time is nigh
it's all but done
another year
another run
at the big time
a title tilt
push for promotion
feel no guilt
of the vast swathes
of money spent
in a country
swallowed by debt.
but now's no time
for reality checks
sign more players
gargantuan cheques
another year
another day
in which us fans
can hope and pray.
the clock has ticked
midnight falls
it's live to Jim
the deal has stalled.
Mother of all poems, a real cracker.
ReplyDeletePretty much sums up modern day football.
Apparently Premier League clubs have spent over a whopping 4 billion on transfers since the formation of the league.
