FA Cup poem 2018
Luton. Luton? Luton away?
That’s who we’ve got on our special day?
Through somebody’s house, past someone’s bedroom
Lol at you if you want some legroom
Close your eyes though and you will see
Nathan Tyson making it three
Sir Alfie Mawson rifling in
It’s Kenilworth Road, we always win
Well not always, but it’s worth a shout
Round one of the cup: we never go out
Barnet, Halifax, Solihull Moors
Non-league triers shoved back through the door
And now it’s Luton, former Conference champs
Upwardly mobile, part-time scamps
Joyous faces around the ground
“What a treat to start in the first round”
I joke of course, Luton have lots of history
Although Steve Foster’s headband remains a mystery
It always seemed like it would really itch
But it looked super chic on the plastic pitch
Brian Stein and Kingsley Black
Let’s turn the main stand into an F1 track
Whatever; the only race we want to see
Is Wycombe cruising through rounds one, two and three.

you’ll have to imagine the line breaks I put in there
This has just added USD 1,000,000 to Dollar Bill and Big Jim's offer
Sensational scenes
@oilysailor, best thing I've read on the Gasroom in months, it's really made my day. Are you an admirer of John Betjeman?
Wonderful.
Remains our most glorious tradition
As usual, absolutely extraordinary.
Superb stuff.
Hands down, best day of the year
Excellent scenes.
One of your best. Top stuff.
I have a single, joyous tear running silently down my cheek.
The most wonderful time of the year!
I feel humbled.
Will we be hearing a reading from you on IFollow Phil?
I will be listening in from Epsom as sadly I have to work tomorrow. TBH, I have vowed never to give Lu'on another penny of my money until they give the away fans a half chance of not imitating "Douglas Bader", so wouldn't be going anyway. Since I have stopped going, we have won more often than not, so wouldn't want to jinx us by returning.
First class.
Dollar Bill. God I wish I’d thought of that. Does that make @marlowchair Chuck Rhoades?
The Gasroom's finest tradition.
Luton are awful
We will win the FA cup
So come on you blues.
One hand on the Cup. Come on You Blues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you @oilysailor. I have read it three times now already.
I hope you won't mind if I try a haiku.
Selected by God,
Still beaten by Wanderers,
Woe is Nathan Jones.
My original version had Accrington instead of Wanderers - but I like this one better.
Great as always @oilysailor.
Wonderful. Starting to feel a lot... a little... okay nearly a bit, like Christmas. COYB
