What on earth was that?!
Mr Negativity proclaimed Roofe a tw*t
And worse
I could write chapter and verse
About the first half calamity
But I'm all for positivity
We got our money's worth and more
Neither side convincingly shut the back door
Can't say it was dull
As Elland Road was full
The tank was spent
As was the intent
Heads may have dropped a while
In denial
But hey what a comeback
Courage we didn't lack
Canaries must have been spitting feathers
Yet for all our endeavours
It was end game
It was plain
That this was not our year
No time to shed a tear
One more game to face
Then we will know our place
Get planning for the summer
Life's a bummer
How many will stay?
Mad Massimo and co have a part to play
Back Garry
The man so many on Twitter want to marry
He's been taken to our hearts
It's waivered in fits and starts
Overall we can say
This guy has got to stay
He's a prospect
His man management has had an effect
Off pitch as well as on
Sometimes he has got substitutions wrong
Selections perhaps a bit bloody minded
Let's not get blinded
This has been a great ride
By our own hands we've been denied
Invest
Put the ownership to the test
If this is what Garry does with peanuts and pence
Oh so intense
So close yet so far
Who knows next year we could be celebrating in a bar
Big backing
Let's not be slacking
Clear what we need to do
Onwards for the men in white yellow and blue (PS have I said Garry we love you?!)

Points Mean Prizes
Doom and gloom
There was no room
For error at all
Damn you football
Fell for a Burton
Shut the curtain
We should've walked it
Misery a bottomless pit
It's the same old story
Faint hope of playoff glory
Will the real Leeds United stand up?
As I drown my sorrows in a large coffee cup
Where did that safety cushion go?
Cruel blow
Credit where it's due
We all knew
We were riding our luck
Blotting our copybook
Nabbing lucky points
That made us dare
Hope for a chance
But at a glance
We've overstretched ourselves
Dust gathers on the trophy shelves
Massimo time to go
Feels good to chant that you know
January blues
Give Monk his dues
He tried
But the table never lied
We needed reinforcements
For all the magic moments
We needed more
Still it's not been a bore
So used to dodging relegation
Once the frustration
Subsdides
We may appreciate the season's more exhilarating rides
Moments of togetherness
For all the stress
A win against Brighton the champion elect
The Chris Wood effect
Jansson Ayling Berardi
Kyle Bartley
May not stick around
But at times they've made Elland Rd a fierce ground
On a shoe string
These guys have made us sing
Out proud
And very loud
We ran out of steam
It would seem
Moments of the old Leeds
Midfield misdeeds
Lack of Plan B
But hey we must see
The promise Monk brought
For the most we fought
Pride
In our side
Never mind
Consolation we must find
In having something to play for late in the game
One day we'll be up there again
There was no room
For error at all
Damn you football
Fell for a Burton
Shut the curtain
We should've walked it
Misery a bottomless pit
It's the same old story

Not a great day today but some funny moments involving Mr Negativity, a game of Hokey Cokey by bemused latecomers at the wrong end of the stand, wheelchair switcheroo, a disabled supporter with a carer more interested in her phone than the game, a lone voice shouting himself hoarse and the baffling tweet I clocked earlier suggesting Garry Monk out. Normal service resumes for some crazy 'fans'
I've seen some diabolical games. Disappointing? Yes. End of the world? Definitely not.... this was poor but we've still somehow got something to play for which hasn't happened in a long time.
Dropped The Ball
Oh dear
Complacency cost us here
Expected more
But no one should kick Monk out the door
Tactics wrong
Passing took too long
No finesse
Oh the stress
We made Wolves look good
Back to earth with a thud
Midfield absent
Pontus hell bent
On taking one for the team
I don't want to be mean
But Phillips is not good enough
Time to get tough
Cannot drop the ball
Rallying call
Pull yourselves together
This storm we will weather
Tough run ins for many
But that penny
Has to drop
With regards to consistency
Not hard to see
Where we lack class
Our pass
Is poor
At times my jaw hit the floor
Basic
Missing every simple trick
Points mean prizes
No compromises
Monk needs to give tough love
A hearty shove
Up the bum
Let's get this job done
Just about within our hands
Every Leeds fan demands
100 per cent
Today heads went
No more
I won't be a bore
Let this be a blip today
A big 3pts at Burton and we're on our way

Barcodes Checked
At the death
We could finally draw breath
As Chris Wood struck
Stroke of luck
Battling display
Ref frustrating to both sides' dismay
Newcastle dominated
Yet in equal measure procrastinated
Corners wasted here and there
Pontus with his icy glare
Tackles a plenty in the game
Like a moth to a flame
This match attracted a lot of tension
I must mention
That I missed their goal going out
Strength in depth no doubt
But Leeds had heart
That late goal took apart
A previously solid defence
Our persistence in adversity was immense
A team of which to be proud
Are we allowed
To start thinking the unthinkable
Garry Monk's belief unshakeable
I don't want to be a jinx
Can't quite manage forty winks
All this drama unfolding
Up the table we are marching
Onwards we go
Wolves on Monday no gimmick though

Big Win
Big win
Get in
Feeling fine
When we crossed the white line
We rode our luck
But to our plan we stuck
Roofe came out with credit
The team did fit
Despite pre match grumbles
Keyboard warrior mumbles
We stuck the knife in our old boy
Enjoy
Beckford welcome home
Nah Cellini hold the phone
No ghosts of play offs past
Let's put jitters to bed fast
Work to do
That is true
Yet if heart and desire
Takes us to the wire
Then who am I to complain
Lots of threats at Newcastle to contain
Though if we can replicate home form
Positive conclusions can be drawn
About the strength of this Leeds team
To dust off and chase the dream
Winning ways again
Defeats have been a stinging pain
Tempered by unwanted distractions here and there
But Garry has taken great care
To foster a great belief
A win doesn't just bring relief
It reignites a hope
That we could cope
Amongst the best
No mistaking Friday is a tough test

Moaning on Together
Oh dear
Brentford had no fear
Of the Mighty Whites
We've seen some sights
But right now we are on a slippery slope
Trying not to lose hope
Of regaining ground
But our recent form far from sound
What's all that about?
Creeping doubt
Fasten your seatbelts all
A rallying call
Points to be grabbed
Positions to be nabbed
Preston are on fire
We've been drab and kind of dire
Let's give the old boy a bloody nose
Pride back in the white rose
Of Leeds
Thanks Simon for all your deeds
But only one team to take the glory
Let's consign recent form to history

I Predict A Riot
A game of two halves perhaps
Defensive collapse
Judgement lapse
Win lose or draw
It's never a bore
We Leeds fans know the score
Sometimes you lose your head
Let's put this dour defeat to bed
No more to be said
A few missing links
Time for forty winks
Whatever the keyboard warrior thinks
This has been a great season
Up to now there's been cohesion
Rhyme and reason
But now and then a mask slips
Form dips
Fortune tips
Heyho
We're still in the mix though
Can't let Garry go
We need to regroup
3pts or we're in the soup
Sticky situation like gloop
Wading through the twitter twaddle
Without Pontus we're a canoe without a paddle
Let's get back on the saddle
Less keyboard clacking
More player backing
Brentford's in for a whacking
We're in a good place
We can find solace
In how we can find space
Amongst the chasing pack
Courage we don't lack
Let's not change tack
Winning mentality
What will be will be
Plenty more points for me
