The post-derby situation

Well it looks like Man. City have it in their hands to win the Premier title for the first time since 1968.  It really beggars belief that a bookie has already paid out on Man. Utd. winning the title, because there were some t-shirts offered for sale on line.  Buy one! It could be a nice investment?

At work, one of the managers supports Man. Utd. and on Monday he came to the Staff Room during break and said that he had a dream that Paul Scholes had scored two goals to win the match.  As it transpired, Man. Utd. were awful and Man. City won by a single goal.  So I wrote him this poem:

Scholes’ goals

Did not materialise

It was just a dream

Or was it lies?

The game ended one-nil

Because of Kompany’s skill

That made Ferguson wince

Two games each left

The title is still open

But I know what you are hopin’

I sent it to him in an e-mail, and his response was:

"Very creative.  More creative than our midfield."
