Down In Hudddersfield Town.
Huddersfield Town’s future, so bright last June
Finally faded at Crystal Palace this dull afternoon,
It’s bound to be a silent, sad, sombre- and sober- coach trip
As the Terriers head back up North, down to the Championship.
By Xmas, Town knew it was gonna be tough at the top
But it’s a lot rougher when you’re the first team to drop,
To survive in the Premier League is a simple numbers game;
When Town tote up their losses all it amounts to is a crying shame.
If only Huddersfield’s brittle defence had been stronger
Or if their busy goalkeepers arms had been a little longer,
Or if they had a striker- or two- to pop in an occasional winner
The Terriers season mightn’t be finishing up a total dogs dinner.

Not a dog’s dinner but an underdog’s meal at the high table.

Ah, but that table does not lie. But in sympathy I recall a few years ago Palace were up and down for five or six seasons.

That, at least, is success.

Oh, the trauma of supporting a mid-tier (at best) team. Have a good week.
