City preview HERE, and... O.M.'s preview HERE. COYHs...three in a row would be great, both for league position and for a further confidence boost ahead of the FAC. |

Good Grief: What a game for the neutral 😐 Heart stopping stuff for us fans; but great atmosphere, and good sing-song on train back. Conditions were pretty bad for both sets of defender's, high winds, intermittent rain, and very heavy pitch, excellent goals from Brown. More next week please:Oh yes, how did Fleet get one in  |

Passengers rowdy

Try some classical hexameters, a la Virgil:-
Now City, give us a treat: in the Cup we can go one stage further.
Just score a few more than Moors: only please give our hearts no more shocks!

Whoever would have thought a thread could develop on a football forum about poetry forms!! It must be an Oxford thing  |

We cannot do without the ultimate in verse, a limerick!
There was a good team in the city
Which lost several games, such a pity;
Cup fortunes revived it and we all just survived it,
Which meant things were not quite so ***itty!
Sorry about the asterisks: we are a family club, after all!
Looking forward to next Saturday: I shall wear my Colchester shirt.
