Alternative Christmas carol

International football England

Zinedine Zidane headbutts Marco Materazzi

AWAY IN A STRANGE LAND(With apologies to Away in a Manger)

Away in a strange land
A Frenchman saw red
When midfield God Zizou
Brought down his bald head
Floodlights in the bright sky
Shone down on his dome
As Marco cried buckets
And ZZ went home.

Away in a strange land
A nod and a wink
Put paid to Wayne Rooney
And caused a great stink
Ronaldo was heckled
From Oxford to Crewe
But Fergie played cupid
To fix Ron and Roo.

Away in a strange land
Three yellows were shown
And all to the same bloke
So Graham Poll went home
Back in his own country
Poll thought he’d be king
But everyone hammered
The poor Thing from Tring.

Away in a strange land
The WAGS hit the town
Ignoring their menfolk
To let their hair down
The champagne was guzzled
The shops were cleared out
They all wore the trousers
Of that there’s no doubt

Back home in old blighty
The inquests began
As Sven put his feet up
And topped up his tan
Big Mac took the baton
With Tel on the staff
They’ve promised us great things
They’re having a laugh.

I've shown you mine, now let's see your festive sporting efforts. Happy Christmas one and all!

He's bald, he's 'ard
He'll score from 40 yards
It's Bothroyd!

Oh little club in North London
You waved your home goodbye
You may fill 60,000 seats
But an atmosphere you can't buy

And in the transfer wi-i-i-indow
A nasty shock for you
Henry's had enough
He may clear off
And head for the Camp Nou

To the tune of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.

oh little town of newcastle,
our faithful fans do sing,
we wait for trophies
from a cup win,
for that news we are listening.
Oh with Shearer gone,
our attack looked blunt,
we prayed it wasnt so,
and now with Obafemi Martins,
Its up the league we go...

In the UEFA Cup
we like to win 1-0
when we play away from home,
when Arsenal did that some 10 years back,
a lot of people didnt half moan,
But at the Toon it is so very different,
see we leak goals alot,
but with Ramage and Taylor tightening up,
wor Shay Given smiles a lot.

Soooo, where now for our loyal Geordie Fans,
will the team in the league go up,
with goals and wins and other little things,
like the Inter-Toto-Cup,
We'd love to see the squad back fit and sound,
and play well for 5 months,
you never know we might start off the new year,
by stuffing Man Utd out the ground.
