Some football Haiku
About the beautiful game
But do they succeed?
Transfer window closed
Millions of pounds are spent
Not much difference
A game of two halves
We didn’t deserve to lose
Sick as a parrot
Dominated first
Complacent during second
Ended up losing
Professional foul
Second yellow for dissent
Team down to ten men
Ball rebounds off post
A simple penalty missed
Three points thrown away
Game ended in draw
Extra time then penalties
A poor way to win
Two TV pundits
Completely differing views
But watching same game
