Lancashire Rivalry

Lancashire Rivalry.

My decision is final, though you really can't see:
(though I provide you with conversation, music and poetry)
I won't accept your discussions, which degenerate rapidly
concerning your devotion to Wigan Athletic and mine to BWFC.

Now don't try to change my mind, the writings on the wall -
it's been there since 1982 when Latics drew 2 - all.
A shrine, you said, so fitting, to reflect your love of the game
-
but ALL the walls in your house look the bloody same.
Pasted with fading posters and painted white and blue -
and as for your furnishings you only have a few&;#8230;

No, we've nothing left in common and nothing left to share,
since Bolton left the Premier League and Latics stayed as they
were,
You won't acknowledge their status and express a reasonable view
&;#8230;
so, supporting Wigan Athletic, will leave you sad and blue...

My defence is solid - it's a 'no win' situation:
Your love for me has faded and you've replaced it with adoration,
for that 'so called' football team, down at Robin Park
who can't play football in daylight (let alone after
dark&;#8230;)
A TRAITOR you called me, no morals you said,
supporting Bolton Wanderers and me a Wiganner born and bred !

Well, I enjoy good football and Bolton can play the game,
Unlike Wigan Pathetic who really should change their name -
To

Wigan Nil.
