You picked a fine time to leave us Luke Steele

As the new season arrived, Keith Hill had contrived, to sing a challenger to Luke, our hero,
Who returning from the Dordogne, slipped and pulled his groin, as he got off the plane at Heathrow
So as Luke recuperated, Keith had seemingly over-rated, the new keeper - our apparent Achilles heel,
And after Ben Alnwick headbutted, and was continually wrong-footed, we saw the triumphant return of Luke Steele.

But as the season progressed, our defending regressed, and we slipped to the bottom of the league,
The selection of Scott Wiseman, always exposed by their wide man, led to rumour, conjecture and intrigue,
With the discontent growing, it was left to Don Rowing, to sack our Keith before New Years Eve,
But devoid of a plan, to recruit a new man, the board looked completely naive.

Our recruitment a mess, Don was forced to confess, we had been knocked back by Butcher and O’Driscoll,
So with no other leads, and about to play Leeds, the two-man board decided to risk all,
But with Hignett lined up, and having won in the cup, fans suddenly demanded Flicker on the radio
Don had to u-turn, having again failed to learn, that top manager’s general want some money to blow

Helped by Mickey Mellon, and picking an ex-felon, we started to win game after game,
Having seen sense, playing three in defence, the fans began to chant Flicker’s name,
Where Keith shopped in poundland, Flicker signed Jason Scotland, and O’Grady completed our attack,
With the ball suddenly sticking, we stopped tappy-tipping, and started to look good at the back.

With our hero in goal, and the team on a role, it seemed Flicker was our new revered saviour,
But the BBS were quick, to call him ‘sidekick’, and accuse him of Keith-esque behaviour.
When at the Etihad, we were particularly bad, the fans seethed with angry frustration,
But Flicker prevailed, where Keith Hill had failed, and on the last day we avoided relegation.

With countless shot-stopping, making up for cross-dropping, we awaited news of our captain’s 3 year contract,
But we’ve made him an offer, which has caused lots of bother, as the reasons given are increasingly abstract,
It is the year deal, Flicker has made to Luke Steele, that has whipped us all in to a frenzy,
But could the money we save, be being used to pave, the way to sign Chris O’Grady, from Wednesday?

 

Really good but to which tune ?

Looks like you need a McCartney to your Lennon.

 

I'm struggling to put those lyrics to the tune too

 

Straight up Freestyle gangsta rap

 

I was still plugging away with the Kenny Rogers number. I thought the meter was a bit fecked.

 

Eh ?

 

I apologize profusely everyone. I'd never ever heard of that song or even realised it was a song! Just thought it was great poetry and thought I'd pay (a much poorer) homage. Sorry if you've been trying to shoehorn it in to a tune!

 

You're quite right Mr C, I meant the M1. An elementary mistake given that I only work about ten minutes from Woolley services! How about a closing verse to cover my embarrassment:

As he dropped down divisions, to his team-mates derision, he'd lament how he once was a star
Who performed with the onus, of a massive win bonus, that could buy him a Tenerife bar
His descent ended quickly, playing part-time at Frickley, and the one thought that stuck in his head
Wasn't Premier League envy, or of visits to Wembley, but beware what you wish for instead

You picked a fine time to leave us Luke Steele......

 

After a boring week of childish, whingeing, gibberish thank **** for a great post...

 

Re: You picked a fine time to leave us Luke Steele.. congratulations,

This has restored my faith in the BBS. The highest quality, unadulterated, sod 43 when you grow up I'm nivver growin' up, arsin' around to brighten up any slow news week.

 

And then, how could we guess, flicker read the bbs, 'they're taking the p.iss on that thread'

And figured it fruitful, in a side looking youthful, to keep an experienced red.

And so he was able, to put on the table, an offer which seemed more in line

With what Luke warranted, but alas he lamented, 'if only you'd done that in time'

'I wish I could have stayed, thought with how well that I'd played, a more generous deal was deserved

And now it's far too late, I've joined up with an old mate, to wallow in Norwich reserves.

Altogether now....

You picked a fine time to leave us Luke Steele...

 

Oh steeeeele don't take your love to town...(Huddersfield)

 

Or alternatively how about:

'Oh Goalieeeeeeeeee, don't take your gloves to Town..........'

 

Yep I prefer your version Red. Heehee

 

Re: You picked a fine time to leave us Luke Steele.. congratulations,

Brilliant, quite brilliant.

 

BBC2. Now. Have a listen, @ark104 (v2)

"And for God's sake stop swaying. You look like thousands of Ray Charles."

 

I've just seen that! Thank you so much for reminding me and the whole BBS of my stupidity though. Although it does slightly amuse me that I must have confused the hell out of everyone

 

No problem, mate, even though I had to wait half an hour for him to actually perform it before I could bump your post.

 

I do admire your self discipline, poised like a crouching ninja

 

That sounds like Neil.
