Title: Joka's Puzzle
Post by: Kent Cassandra on December 14, 2017, 06:09:31 PM
Jokas puzzle is a promise for a group of fit boys
To play attacking football with skill and poise.
In the premiership this would not be a prob,
But in the Championship, one has to play against yobs.
Even Messi would struggle in this league,
Soon succumbing to battle fatigue.
Smart fouling, cheating and up for a brawl,
Bombarding defences with the long ball.
It's the toughest league in the world
Refereed by black shadows from the underworld.
It's a league that most good players try to avoid,
As the skilful ones soon get destroyed.
Teams can't take out loans as businesses do
They are fined if too many debts accrue.
So, what is the solution to Joka's conundrum,
It seems an almost impossible task to overcome.

Sometimes teams just click, like in Leicester's year,
They were not considered good enough for the Premier.
Most Fofers say they want Joka to stay
So, we must back him to do it in his own way
From the current squad which players should he choose,
When playing against teams that 'Mustn't lose'?
Should he go positive to win every game?
Knowing if he loses he will get the blame.
To play joka's way, needs a lot of support,
Cos players are human and sometimes fall short.
A factor of fail can be the rub of the green,
Injuries happen and refs can be mean.
Players lose form, trying too hard to please.
Teams can rise or fall on such things as these.
He's trying his best to stick to his plan,
One should wait until May to judge him, if you can.

So, what can Fulham Fans do to help with his quest.
Give him encouragement, give bad mouthing a rest.
Dim all the 'Gaslighters' who have lately appeared,
For if he's successful he will be revered.
He needs time and support from us and the bosses,
No one ever made it without some losses.
Blame is far far away from support,
Without evidence it is just like a kangaroo court.
Keep blame at bay cos if there's too much distaste,
We will all be tainted by the toxic waste.

Nice, well worked out and put together, and I agree with the sentiment entirely.
Congrats

That is magnificent, be sure it is taken to Sunderland and read by all fans on the coaches.
