Battering Barnsleh and Slaying Villains....(hopefully)

Gloves off
Commentators scoff

Leeds dug in
Doubts firmly in the bin

About rising to the occasion
Ref took some persuasion

But quality told
May I be so bold

As to say Hernandez is back
Quality we didn’t lack

Ayling bubbled, boiled
Alioski tarried and toiled

Jansson and others close to the wire
But you has to admire

The endeavour
Some tackles weren’t too clever

Yet those goals were peaches
It teaches

Our local rivals a lesson
We must forgive a goalie transgression

For we need confidence in the whole team
It would seem

That this win was a kick up the bum
But Villa on a Friday night will be fun

We’ll need to be full throttle
Show some bottle

A class side
Snoddy’s return aside

It’s a test
Let’s hope we see Leeds at their battling best

Return of the Monk

Frantic frenzied football
Linesman made a poor call

Rewind 
I want to be kind

But Monk had us divided
I decided 

To give it welly
Hey Mum did you hear us swear on the telly?

Hot choc
Heads poised on a block

Funny results for both men
Then....

We harried
Carried

The expectation of a crowd
Across the stand an ejected man rowed

About allocated seats
As grumpy blokes scoffed sweets

Shuffled and swore
Suddenly...we score

Hernandez was on form
Pontus the oncoming storm

Every man surged 
Though there were still doubts to be purged 

About goalkeeping
Effective sweeping

Of calamity crosses and flailing free kicks
As the clock ticks

Two nil
A bitter pill

For our former boss
There were moments of dross

Flare ups
Tear ups

Of rules 
The ref taking us for blind fools

The game is always different on TV
You genuinely cannot see

It all from your angle
As much as you terrorise and tangle

Be it player or fan
Raging at the whistling black clad man

Hernandez man of the match for most
Though others propose a toast

For Phillips who is often slated
A workaholic wizard often underrated

Ayling made it easy for a decision maybe
But it is clear to see

Every man played their part 
Perhaps a fresh start

For Roofe who often gets wagging fingers
Perhaps a question or two lingers

But this is a morale boosting win
Let’s put negativity in the bin

Almost paid the penalty 
Some sections of support lost their dignity

Allegedly throwing coins and such like
They can take a hike

All that matters is the win today
So I honestly can say

I enjoyed the game 
Hope for more of the same

With a tough Wednesday against Wolves ahead
Let’s not sleep too soundly in our yellow white and blue bed...

P.S Garry Monk Whoooo
I’ve ditched you
For TC
Fickle, me.... ;)
