Chelsea 2011/12 Season – In Verse
It started off quite hopeful, with a new man in the job
Alongside Villas-Boas, Juan Mata and Sideshow Bob
We banged a few in, looked ok, you’d forgive us for all hoping –
That even with a few old ‘uns, the Chelsea squad was coping
We’d even hoped that Torres was, or at least until United
With a miss that had the red shite, all sort of ‘dick-in’hand’ excited
Then controversy, of course, what else? Unhappy players leaving
And with his spell spent on the bench, we had Frank Lampard seething
Next onto the whole John Terry ‘thing’ and You Tube’s finest hour
With Anton and a hapless ref, turning everything all sour
The Old Guard were not happy, and they werent the only ones
But AVB just stood his ground and stuck right to his guns
So yet again mid-season, another boss had got the sack
And it was left to Di Matteo, to get us back on track
He did that in emphatic style, first Napoli, then Benfica
And when Torres scored v Barca, you couldn’t help but think ‘Eureka’
Of course, we messed up in the league but it was nice to leave Spurs waiting
Whilst we sorted out the FA Cup and a bit of dipper baiting
Then it was on to Bayern Munich, with the trophy in our sight
The big-eared one we wanted, but would it really be our night?
We went one-down right near the end but Drogba had that sorted
And lady luck must’ve cast her eye over the pen Robben aborted
A shoot-out then decided it, but who won wasn’t incidental
Because Chelsea, were Champions of Europe – and of course we all went mental 🙂
