The 12 Days of Christmas, footy styleArt by Hannah Carroll | @HannahCDesigns

On the first day of Christmas the good game sent to me
A linesman that could barely see

On the second day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the third day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the fourth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the fifth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiive gold balls,
Four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the sixth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Six guys a lying, five gold balls, four crashing heads
Three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the seventh day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying, five gold balls
Four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the eighth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Eight posts a ringing, seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying
Five gold balls, four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the ninth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Nine forwards flying, eight posts a ringing, seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying
Five gold balls, four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the tenth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Ten fullbacks bracing, nine forwards flying, eight posts a ringing
Seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying
Five gold balls, four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the eleventh day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Eleven buses parking, ten fullbacks bracing, nine forwards flying
Eight posts a ringing, seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying
Five gold balls, four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

On the twelfth day of Christmas the good game sent to me
Twelve boots a kicking, eleven buses parking, ten fullbacks bracing
Nine forwards flying, eight posts a ringing
Seven arms a flaying, six guys a lying
And five gold balls, four crashing heads, three French fans, two total dives
And a linesman that could barely see

And a linesman that could barely see…

Nicolle Zamora
Nicolle Zamora (aka @Treble_Nikki on Twitter) was a founding member/co-host of The Treble, a footy radio show & podcast from 2004-2008 written, hosted, and produced by three football-crazed women that didn’t pay the bills but had a loyal & devoted following from around the world in which she was (in)famous for her Beckham gossip segments (technically she broke the Becks to Real Madrid move AND the Becks to LA Galaxy move but no one took her seriously & she is still bitter about that), mascot reporting, and bringing the Fernando Torres Euro 2004 hair debate to the public. She now pays her bills by working in the music industry in NYC while spending most of her free time yelling about Roma, both online and off.
