Premium Member Saturday Night In Relegation

A word once spelled out  

Defining what Saturday Night was all about  

Lads from Bay City  

Scene colorful, enchanting, and ever so pretty  

Roller and rocking  

Having one number that brought opportunity knocking  

Entertaining enthusiastic disco dance girls  

Experimenting with hair curls  

Today Londoners are inside  

Trusting the health care credibility protocol guide  

Proclaiming lockdown  

Serious rhetoric it did sound  

Was this ugly frown?  

Coming from the crown?  

That brought modern life back to the ground  

“Stay at home!”  

Spewed the cautious tone  

Instructed on the magical cell phone  

“Maybe read a book all alone”  

Club suggestion American author Nathaniel Hawthorne  

And his writing about Witches scorned  

Then convicted for the reason they were born  

Passing the spiritual grades  

Puritan anger sharpened threatened biblical blades  

Intention protect evangelical attitude that resembled a virgin island  

No one around to challenge any lying  

During minute thirteen  

Gallagher gent had a goal it seemed  

“Get us out of relegation! 

We are tired being patient!”  

Came from the bird  

When heard  

“Extra time went way too long  

The length of a Led Zeppelin song 

We need to socialize and that is not wrong.”  

Vengeful blades should be put a way  

Scoreboard reporting nothing to say  

Watch those in peaceful flight  

Reminding those the Kingdom was once known as Albion white  

Stop worrying about isolating fears  

Instead start toasting Saturday Night cheers

Premium Member Rolling the English Premiere Credits

Boys turned into men 
Acting chivalry needing to defend 
Thackray who never was 
Due to the wasp woman wanting buzz 
Gunners waited for Watford to arrive 
“Foul!” they did claim in a cry 
On target goal after the penalty try 
Followed by one then another
Sunday’s mother 
Agree those went in 
Later on Arsenal committed an innocent sin 
Deeny connected 
Shot was not protected 
Three one at the break 
Story brewing about the yellow jacket relegation wake 
Being well back 
Singing stingers put together an attack 
Calling upon Danny to give a whack 
A nice song he did bellow 
Not enough to save the hives, dear fellow 
For the longest time 
In her own mind 
Mrs. Harris 
Just home from Paris 
Thackray did not cause any trouble
There was no reason to blow any bubbles 
As time ticked away 
Grealish earned his claret blue army pay 
Slicking it through the post 
Mrs. Harris a few seconds later returned the gesture with a kind toast 
A draw 
Was the call 
And Aston’s Villa would not be sold 
Since they did not fold 
“Send down the Honey Cherry Buzz flavor” 
Second tier league requested as a favor 
Mr. Bourne with toffee candy in the mouth 
His cherries ready to head south 
But today he enjoyed a sweet victory taste 
Wasn’t showing ill feelings or haste 
Instead filled with Goodison’s grace 
Citizens on the other hand made the canaries look like nothing 
Man City netting five which was something 
Four sixes were on the executive level table 
Two were issued to pensioners writing a Chelsea fable 
While the Red Devils had a pair 
Enough to scare 
That pesky fox 
Now having respectable stock 
“Worry about a single commitment next year 
And enjoy that cheer” 
Was the message 
About priority addressing 
As for Thackray, the west ham 
Romantically united Mrs. Harris succeeded in her plan 
Next time a gale force winds come through 
Infecting play asking ‘what are you gonna do?” 
Do not put the season in the hearses 
Just be sporty write creative poetic rhyming verses 

The End

Premium Member Thoughts At the Relegation Table

Citizens were upset 
With the Honey Hornets set 
They played dance songs 
But it was all wrong 
Records being abused 
Scratching them when used 
Stingers created a vibe 
That said let the music die 
Before the first forty five ended 
Twilight Zone Rod should be commended 
Two for Stirling 
Hometown hive was swirling 
Only to see another pair go by 
Relegation staring bees straight in the eye 
Four score 
Sky Blue headed for the door 
“Nice seeing you here 
Will be playing for champions league cheer 
In the coming year 
Tabloid stuff did not work 
Honesty was how we popped the cork”
Later in the day Gunners held fire 
While Aston’s Villa was put on the tight wire 
If this was the end to the show 
Arsenal would let them know 
First half saw one in 
Enough for a claret blue army crucial win 
This allowed a table jump 
To safety over buzzing hump 
No need reporting anything new 
Except the canary could be dining on honey dipping stew 
In the dungeon 
Doing some number crunching 
Asking themselves why did we go to that high profile luncheon 
Where we did all the munching


Premium Member Relegating the Naming Rights

Looking for a new name 
Thackray was playing the game 
Ready to survive 
Being alive 
In the high profile section 
Worthy to have fame protection 
To stay there another year 
A point needed to stay clear 
Out of relegation hanging with the right dear 
Off to see Old Trafford 
Information to be gathered 
A magical cure 
From the Man U store 
Getting a prescription 
Removing all restriction 
Companion Antonio led the march 
Chivalry suddenly felt a little parch 
“Get a drink!” 
Thackray made Antonio think 
Taking a hydration break 
Strategy Antonio was able to make 
Once in the enemies box 
Like a fox 
A penalty called 
Something done against the law 
Score was converted 
Three points fantasy flirted 
This ended in the second half 
Red Devils came back in a wrath 
Greenwood’s foot showed the path
A one- one draw 
Making the Hammers stand tall 
Thackray the West Ham 
Was no longer in the jam 
Finished United that was the plan 
Did she end up in wedding bliss? 
Dropping the title Miss 
Antonio the boy toy 
Knows she would enjoy 
This romantic union 
Special agent’s doing 
If she met a guy 
Character description ‘a spy 
Fighting freedom giving a good try’
This could come together 
Reading the loveliest letter 
Relaxing in the sun 
Having fun 
Knowing she had won 
Ship pulling into port 
Capturing her fort 
Leading to travel 
Where emotions unravel 
Making a decision
Accepting the mission 
Honeymoon in Paris 
Using a passport reading Mrs. Harris

Premium Member Toffee Talk

Time to enjoy star with bucks’ coffee 
Along with Toffee
Knocked on the door 
Aston was not going to be ignored 
“I am a nice treat 
Very sweet”
A grand old lady welcomed him in 
Having a grin 
“Aston, where have you been?” 
Trying to be sly 
Not really telling any lie 
“Fighting to stay in the big time
Got caught up in a bind 
Relegation on my mind” 
An antique Everton fashion smile 
Opened up like it was on file 
“Sometimes down there 
No pressure in the air 
Attitudes will be joyous not bitter 
Fans will be happy during dinner” 
As the first half slipped away 
Nothing happened on this day 
Until late in the match 
Aston opened the hatch 
A goal was there no strings attached 
Showing he knew how to play 
In the top notch superior way 
Putting one on the board 
Three points the Claret and Blue army would get for the award 
But that was not going to happen 
Granny Goodison decided to zap him 
Right before the ninety minutes 
Aston not going to get into it 
“You are only going home with one 
Fantasy trip almost done 
I gave you my candy 
Run home little Aston quick and dandy” 
Feeling like he was tricked 
Aston sat in his villa knowing he was licked 
“I guess I am going down 
To the lower league town 
I will return 
From this year’s burn 
Stronger and firm 
From what I learn 
When enjoying a win 
Competing to be an English Football Champion”

Premium Member The Relegation Review

Something happened that shook the ground 
The Hammies were victory bound 
Two goals up late in the game 
They thought the words of relegation would be tamed 
Suddenly, the seagulls started to pest 
Not allowing the Hammies a rest 
Finding the net, a goal closer the Seagulls did get 
Only a few minutes later a bright move was made not using a hand 
And the incident put more leverage into the relegation plan 
This review situation scene made West Ham yell and scream 
What is this said the marooned fan another video replay scam? 
All level and if this keep up the Londoners will spend a year with the British futbol devil 
Relegation haunts those who play at the Olympic home and this situation is like being biblically stoned 
On the bright side 
And this is no lie 
A whole new league could invade, and they could have much EPL information to trade 
Also, if West Ham makes the drop 
The losing may stop 
Leaving West Ham England Champion on top


Premium Member Remembering the Spread In the West Ham United Relegation Debt

It is at the half 
And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain 
Schedule was changed and that was a pain 
You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to be slaughtered,
Playing Manchester City in the big blue house 
Now having a Wed date despite not having a spouse  
Going easy Man City had a strike 
But that was it and after forty-five minutes the Hammies were psyched. 
Are they the ones being taken? 
Allowing Manchester City to collect the bacon.
Or will they escape the market trip?
In the prime time English Premiere football script
Early on West Ham stretcher made an appearance 
Giving a Hammer substitute clearance 
Man City had a miss calculated shot 
And West Ham still looked hot 
It was still 
One nil 
As West Ham got first aid 
The Citizens made moves as an attempt to make the sports book grade 
With another one put in goal 
Manchester City waited for West Ham to fold 
Throwing the ham on the frying pan 
Manchester City shrugged off that well reported UEFA ban 
Knowing it was time to coast
MC hinted to West Ham “it is time for that relegation roast” 
 Time is ticking and the Hammies are still alive 
Using the sports book getting 2.5 message of ‘give it a good try’ 
Would there be another goal?  
As they deal with reality being cold. 
Extra time is now on the board 
And the sporting midweek evening was headed for the door.
Refs put up a time of four 
And even Bubbles The Bear said look at the score 
Hanging on to the bitter end 
The Hammies were able to defend 
Making a spread by a half point 
And giving a reason for a laugh at the sports book joint. 
Next up London boys 
The Industrial workers known for the rock and roll band that were toys? 
Give it your best 
The high pro filers may confess 
As the people realize if you were out of the glitz and glamour 
You could make real money using a hammer

Premium Member Table Turning Relegation Tease

There was a buzz in the air 
About Astin’s upcoming weekend affair 
A Friday night match 
Where Astin was such a catch 
Lured in with bait 
Wolves prowling looking great 
But alas a mistake 
A correction needed to make 
Someone wanted cake 
Decided to change plans to an afternoon luncheon 
Wolves and Astin hiring catering for the munch on 
Bags were packed at the Canary’s pad 
Waiting for a downtown cab 
Going to a positive place 
Maybe a championship to build a successful case 
When it heard 
From a news worthy credible bird 
Hornets did not distance themselves from the demotion third 
Apparently a few glasses of Claret wine 
Relaxed the stingers at the time 
When the clock struck seventy three 
Hornets grabbed the honey for a spot of tea 
In the ball it went 
After the purple and red posted it sent
One to nothing 
Shutting them out which was something 
Leaving the relegation decision tight 
Making the next footbally month a competitive fight 
Right?

Premium Member Going Fourth With the Football Thing

There was a ring at the dungeon door 
Canary raced across the floor 
Pulling a hammy while nursing his soars 
Appearing was a seagull that once was poor 
“My friend the Canary 
Spent the morning sailing over on the ferry 
Sipping my AM sherry 
Very relaxed not in a hurry 
But many thoughts I do carry 
You should not worry 
Since I got a goal 
Decided not to fold 
So I tell my dear Canary 
Things right now may seem scary 
If you go down to the other league 
You may be a champion I do decree
Honestly, I must get back to the beach 
Hope you learned from what I teach” 
Later in the day 
Royals wanted to play 
“Let’s chase the foxes around
How does that sound?” 
But after the hunt took a brake 
That both sides did take 
Protecting their own field 
Foxes knew the deal 
By putting one up on them 
Now he Royals really needed to defend 
When another one hit the board 
Royal’s weekend ride turned into a chore 
Asking for extra time 
Foxes replied, ‘not on my dime’ 
Sending one home not being declined 
A group nicknamed the Red Devils 
Needed comfort they were at a certain level 
Invitations went out from Old Stafford 
Heated pitch fork staff holding back the laughter 
Mr. Bourne took the message in stride 
Showed up and truly did try 
With one that went in 
Mr. Bourne’s mouth was smiling 
This did not stop the satanic crew 
Since they were not through 
Cherries were lured into a fight 
Victory the demons right
Frustrated and in trouble 
Mr. Bourne returned to his bubble 
Mouth now tied shut 
Red Devils saying, “so what”

Rumors abound  

All around town  

Lily White  
Needs a knight  

She is tangled  

Being wrangled  

By the tricky trees  

Planted by Peacocks from Leeds  

Wolves are down under  

Hearing wraths thunder  

Drinking Burnley claret wine  

Getting ready to do second tier time  

In comes the Hammer girl  

Wearing expensive pearls  

Bought using Gallo credit  

Wondering, ‘will anyone get it?’ 

Message, ‘relegate’  

Easier opponents await  

Fans will have reason to cheer  

Dousing the same expensive beer  

As players work on maturing skills 

Crunching numbers, paying the bills  

Oh yes, who is going to get dropped  

Commentating, ‘our season truly was a flop’  

Officially closing the show  

Taking the athletic production to parts unknown 

Goal now ‘will want to come back’ 

Claiming healed healthy, surviving a relegation attack
