T'Was a Fox Before Christmas Lcfc

T'was the week before Christmas, as I watched the live stream I could hardly believe what I could see on my screen. With Manchester losing to Norwich two one, We could keep our top spot if we held out and won. On a day that a legend of football (Jimmy Hill) had passed, We were top of the league whilst last year we'd been last. In a restless first half we took the lead at a canter, Until Lukaku scored to cue Everton banter. When out from the break we again took the lead, As Vardy was fouled as he showed off his speed. Up stepped our Mahrez to take the spot kick, Which he knocked beyond Howard with a feint and a flick. With City now flying and fans singing the score, It took only four minutes before we had one more. With Vardy again making runs through their flanks Okazaki nipped in and took his team mates thanks. With Everton down but by no means yet beat, A long ball from the toffees fell at Miralles feet. With only two minutes left of full time on our clocks, It was once again squeeky bum time for each fox. As we defended in numbers and all fans stayed wary, The whistle unleashed a scream from Ranieri. Eight wins and one draw in our last nine league games, You can hear history calling our star players names! Vardy and Mahrez have been grabbing the goals, Whilst Shlupp and Drinkwater have played pivotal roles. Albrighton and Kante have been simply on fire, And he's ably supported by King and by Dyer. Now Schmeicel, now Morgan, now Ulloa and Fuchs. Your names will live long in our history books! To the top of the league against all of the odds. You have answered our prayers to the footballing gods. And as the year turns though we know its been tough, We are sure there'll be more of this fairy tale stuff. We may pick up injuries and suffer fatigue, But despite all the talk, we are top of the league. With a proud Gary Lineker on Match of the day, It's been years since our City have been seen in this way. Not since 2000 under Martin O'Neil, Have the fans seen a squad with such a quality feel. Ranieri who's marshalled our amazing revival, Is still keeping his sights firmly set on survival. Though there's bound to be plenty of twists and intrigue, Happy Christmas all foxes, yes we're top of the league!
