Futbol Mid Week Fixture Flings

Waiting for bubbles 
Here on the pitch 
Hope there will be no trouble 
From Liverpool being in a winning niche 
Known for being paper back writers 
And always having the attitude of being fighters 
The Reds will have to deal Hammies who thing they are for real 
With hard cover binding West Ham could do some grinding 
With a point and a little more they want to be there if they get a score. 
If the Reds win by two the Hammies will call it a night since they are through,
For the boys from the quarries they have no worries 
They are well on their way to the championship if they do not slip 
There is another show on this night that is chilly and cold 
Man City leads from a previous match where they were ever so bold. 
As time clicks by West Ham was giving it a nice try
Then a foul in the danger zone 
And Liverpool could be giving a goal that has a subjective tone. 
Over in the other neighborhood war there was an important score 
When United had a strike that gave them a celebration mike 
Against Man City and United wanted no pity 
Forty-five minutes have past 
And one wondered who was in control of these futbol masts 
Will the Reds put the Hammies in more debt? 
Being at home you would think the Hammies would have one 
Before everything is said and done 
Two goals in less than an hour was the mountain United had to climb 
In half the time
But the Blues at home had their bags packed 
With the Aston Villa being the next attack 
It will be an EPL friendly contest 
That in the end will anoint the best  
But in the league’s featured spectacle 
The Londoners were ready to start the heckle 
When a calm cool collected Liverpool had a break away 
And gave them something to say
It seems the bubble must come 
Or when it’s done, the bubbles will not fly
And the stop by the sports book will only be to say goodbye 
There was actually an opportunity to make the bubbles fly 
But batted away by the keeper turned it into the crowd giving a frustrated cry.
A second later the ball hit the post 
And it was almost time for Liverpool to coast 
Xtra time was slated for three giving notice it was almost time to unleash all the match day tea 
No bubbles tonight but there could be a different result on Saturday, right? 
As the midweek comes to a close 
And everybody knows 
The matches return in not too many hours 
After the European Union receive the rest in peace flowers
