FML ICARUS FC

Our very first FML poem! 23rd July, 2008
We’re proud to present to you our very first
Football Manager Live poem.
Thanks to Trevor Taylor for his entertaining piece on the tension a manager feels in a tight match.Trevor Taylor is the 27 year old manager of the Wiltshire Wizards. Perennial runners up in the AFA, they have constantly been one of the top 50 teams in gameworld 8. As of writing they are 5th in the senior and 4th in the youth rankings. Even the top teams have days when nothing seems to go their way.

I hate this game!I hate this game, I'm just giving up.I either can't score, or I can't shut up.
I remember the day, it was easy to win.My keepers would save and my strikers would grin.
The midfield was strong, the center-backs mighty.Now they're pushed over like girls in a nightie.
Then just when you think this poor draw is the worst.Along comes the horrible corner goal curse.
They think it's all over, it is for my team.Winning my league is now just a dream.
I'm closing the doors, the fans giving in.No wait I just scored, let's go for the win.
My captain is cruising, the team's on a roll.This season's not over, I still have the ball.
Chance after chance, save after save.They can't stop me now; it's time to be brave.
It's now 3 up top, all play in their half.He was never offside ref, you're having a laugh.
He's blown for fulltime, my last chance has gone.It's really unfair, but good game and well done.
I'm really quitting now, that's it, game over.I once loved this game, but now I just loath her.
I should've won easy; it's the code that's to blame.Oh, who am I kidding, let's play one more game.
