First in a new series of things nobody asked for - Poetry Match Reports 13:57 - Aug 10 with 691 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

Provisionally titled "Flowing Moves" (the series, not this match which was anything but). But I'm open to suggestions.

No.1: Birmingham City 1-1 Ipswich Town, 08/08/2025...

A new season dawned of an evening
with a din that would spin the undead.
It’s doubtful we’d choose this story of two blues
and our tactics seemed easily read.

Electric Kyogo bounced round like a pogo.
Stick Stansfield up top, feed the goat.
But his shots were just curled All Around The World
or as scuffed as Omari’s sore throat.

With O’Shea now O’nnointed but the tractors disjointed,
the cauldron grew spikes like a thistle.
Their team buzzed within, like flies round a bin,
working hard as the referee's whistle.

The odd burst from Hirst, but left starved and with thirst
and the newer Matusiwa off pace.
It was gritty and bitty, only Greaves’ hair was pretty.
Poor Johnson; all will and no grace.

No appetite whetter, and the restart no better.
The hosts hit the post and lashed in.
Like Viagra we’d grow, just with no sucker-blow
And Brum slowed like a nan on the gin.

Old Young cramping styles eating inches like miles,
the ball curled like a pearl to a hand.
A pen cheaper than Lidl, but dispatched down the middle.
George gorged on the grief in the stand.

A makeshift Town nearly drowned in the sound
of the rust falling off every joint.
Way short of our groove, but let’s soothe, we’ll improve
from this smash ’n’ grab car crash
of a point.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

poetry's not really my thing but i quite liked that.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Yeah, I was planning to do one per match. That's the challenge I've set myself!

Good to see you back Flash.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

They were wound up, we were not
And Lo! They scored a first
That warm bubble didn't last
Thanks to our striker Hirst

Ah Birmingham, a team neglected
By Brady they were resurrected
And promotion was expected
But it was pyrites they prospected

One point, it's true , is no disaster
Their temperaments should be their master
And fans who mither, join a cast 'o'
Thousands who will punch out faster

Tomato faces, wreathed in hates
Blue shirts, cheap jeans and cocaine mates
Slick stadia, money, more ingrates
Let's see how time affects our fates.

Poll: If we were guaranteed promotion next season, how would you celebrate?

Enjoyed the rhyming couplet of whistle and thistle.

8/10, a better performance than anyone in a town shirt friday, with ashkey young chomping at your heels.
