'Twas The Night Before Christmas

[YankeeCanary 0]

I would normally do an updated version of this but, quite frankly, last years rendition ( with a small cosmetic change ) is still most relevant to our current situation. I''m going to take a break from this forum for a couple of weeks and just want to thank every single one of you, posters and moderators both, for the interface we have enjoyed over the past year, and extend my best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful holiday season. 

''Twas The Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and sad at the ground
Not a player performing, from the crowd not a sound
The new boss is desperate in seeking out ways                                                                                             Of curing the team of this awful malaise

 Norfolk’s dumplings were nestled all snug in their beds
While fans fired attacks at each others heads
“We want to go forward but now we’ve gone back”
The boring debate’s on “Who else can we sack?”

When down at the ground there arose such a clatter
The police force turned up to see what was the matter
It was a televised fantasy on a big screen
A game of good football by the yellow and green

The players danced, they weaved, they passed and they scored
Delia did somersaults while every fan roared
It seemed like a miracle to the most deserving of fans
As singing and happiness was back in the stands

How was this feat managed the masses enquired?
By Santa Claus who stood at the manager’s side
With laughter and bear hugs to players one and all
As he told them to frolic, it’s only a ball

The screen went black and the illusion did too
But Santa’s last words were heard by a few
They heard him exclaim ‘ere he drove out of sight
Good times will return and to all a good night

Merry Christmas Everyone!
