"One fine February afternoon"

[MattSimon]

Here's a ditty to cheer up all those feeling disappointed about last Sunday.

"One fine February afternoon"
By Matt "Finesse First" Simon

First stop the Kendall. Wouldn't miss it.
Pre-game beers with mates.
Next we file out, and cross the street,
Head in through Blue Tongue's gates.

The bay's amazing! A yellow army.
Voices boom as one.
The sound alone makes all the Jest fans
Wonder why they'd come.

Now flash forward. 88th minute.
Mariners lead 3-1.
Hutcho lobs a pass over Gumps
And finds our favourite son.

Matty Simon! He beats three defenders,
leaves them in his wake.
In front of goal now, here's his chance!
He scores. Piece of cake.

The Marinators shed tears of joy.
"We finally beat the scum!"
Onto the grand final, and a chance
to get revenge for season 1.



Hope you enjoyed it. See you all at the game (wait for that 88th minute baby yeah)

That is a good poem. I hope its a prophecy

Awesome poem.  Excellent if it all comes true, and a little creepy at the same time.

Considering many prophecies are written in poetic form, who knows what could happen!!!

Matt Simon got in some practice against some strong opposition this week and as it was announced by Alex Tobin in Total Football tonight MATTY SIMON BROKE TOBIN'S COLLARBONE IN PRACTICE. Good that he is practicing with a vengeance and hopefully duplicate something like that on a fine February 10th afternoon game.

If it goes to PK then i have lots of confidence that the jets will win however i wont mind us losing as it means another home game at EAS
