12/13 Blues Season in poetry


In late-June did young Clark arrive,
Nice record at Galpham perhaps on his side,
But August the Blues picked just one point from three,
And sat in the drop zone uneasily,

September improved us, or was this quite so?
3 strong performances, one horror show,
Blues hit for 5, no spirit or fight,
We’re simply rolled over, by Barnsley tykes

A win at top Brighton, was this the reply?
Well 4 games no wins, but Paladini to buy?
The comeback at Millwall, and win at Leeds proved,
There was yet life, in languishing Blues,

With inconsistency November arrived,
We’d falter in one half, the second we’d thrive,
A hectic month for the boys in blue,
Of seven wins we picked up just two,

Christmas came of a similar style,
The only good note was struggling Vile,
One win in five was no happy new year,
We drowned our sorrows in mulled wine not beer,

A sad sight to see was Pack on the floor,
But we soon came to life, with a win at Turf Moor,
We followed that up, Burke found his niche,
A win over Forest, and judas McLeish,

In training Zigic was giving no spark,
In media outed, he was by firm Clark,
In the match after, Blues again swept aside,
By Zola’s Watford, that team seemed to glide,

Eighteen games now without a clean sheet,
But back-to-back, they came as quite sweet,
Next game we’re mullered, became it quite dull,
At promotion chasing Hull,

Fear not though as Easter drew nearer,
Our relegation safety was clearer,
Three straight wins and we’re out of the dark,
With 4-0 thumping of Selhurst Park,

Post this result could play-offs be on?
Stranger things have happened, it wasn’t yet gone,
Defeat to the Dingles put sharp end to that dream,
As Blues prepared for mediocrity,

Two wins, three draws, and the one loss,
We played the remainder not giving a toss,
For the job was done, the Blues were safe,
To fight another year, in exactly the same place,

Now the task over summer it seems:
Offer new contracts to those who could leave,
Get atmosphere back, get rid of the moaners,
But more importantly, change the owners.
