Woodborough United: A seasons review, by Chris Bovey, 28
Another season has come and gone
And once more we’re round this table,
And in just a couple of hours we’ll be walking round
And we’ll all be rather unstable
Now things have changed quite a lot this year
We’ve had 2 gaffers for a start,
But one thing I can tell you for sure
Is that they both have plenty of heart
The season began with the owl in charge
And he was attempting to regain the double,
But then came the nod from big Lloydo
“You’re moving to London son, work hard & stay out of trouble
The move came fast and Nick moved south
Shredall were going nationwide,
But the Owl got more press for his social antics
Leaving poor Canny lying on his side
So the mantle was there to be taken
A new man was needed with clout,
Eventually this man stepped forward
When he finally got all his words out!
This man was of course Mark Beeby
And things started well for the lad,
We destroyed some good teams in the cups
And the scalp of Calvo was had
We also had a couple of new signings
And a lot of our old friends back,
Holly returned from his travels
And Canny from Calvo joined the pack
We also signed some blonde bird
And McGill came back on his boat,
And there were 2 Calvo lads as well
Ode Wesson, and a bong eye they call sicknote
The season carried on progressing
But the month of December became a curse,
Holidays, injuries and a loss of form
To be fair it couldn’t get worse
Bodders faigned a knee injury
So he could baby-sit with Becky in his jumper,
And then Trev suddenly got injured too
But he was required as an oompa lumpa
So injury after injury occurred
Leaving us very short at the back,
Even BB made a guest appearance
Very nearly exposing his sack
You see, he ran back chasing the Bilsthorpe attacker
And he stumbled and began to fall,
A superman dive then followed
His shorts fell down, his pants exposed and we all began to bawl
Then came the cup semi final
The turning point was here and we all knew it was the one,
We all desired some more silverware
Even Sean’s ankle injury had miraculously gone
In the end the game was easy
6-1 was the final score,
The Boro were in the final once more
And Ricki is a dinosaur an his mum is still a whore
Our league form still went up and down
But we now knew it was out of reach,
And I upped and left you to it
As I spent my days on the beach
The season was now about Dunkirk
The chance to defend our cup,
We knew we could win it again
And then lots of beer we would sup
A few players missing and playing out of position
It would be strange for Woody to moan,
But a 50/50 chance for us all
To see how much we’d grown
A 2nd half with great defending
After a 1st half brace from the primate himself,
Ricki man got to lift the trophy
Putting it firmly back on the Nags Head shelf
So 2 cups in 2 years isn’t bad
We went to Dunkirk and we won it twice,
But next season is the ultimate goal
To try and win it thrice
In short another good season
With all that we’ve endured
We’ve again all had a good laugh
And lots of goals have been scored
So now its time for the thank you’s
For the people that really matter,
Not like the twat from FIFA
The bald one they call Sepp Blatter
Firstly to the gaffer Mark BB
A cup in you very first season
It’s hard to pick and drop you mates
Even harder to give them a reason
But well done mate you’ve done very well
In the league we’ve got a top scorer,
But please come next January
Don’t fuck off for a shag in Andorra
Secondly to Mr Woodborough
Steve Thompson you are a saviour,
White lining, shit scooping and everything else
But tonight its time for some drunken behaviour
Finally to you lot, the team and the fans
We all do it for the love of the club,
Kit washing, money collecting and man of the match,
The beer and of course all this grub
Which brings me onto the landlord
The man who helped made it possible tonight
Thanks for all you’ve done again this year
I don’t believe the rumours you’re tight!
So this brings me onto one last thing
The future of boro next season,
You all need to sign and fly the flag
For this there should be no reason
So can I ask you all to grab your drink
Raise it high in your hand that is your right,
Here’s to the mighty Woodborough United
Now lets all get boshed tonight!
