Useless - What's The Score?
​
'Useless - What's the score?
Useless, useless - What's the score?'
is usually a chant heard
at football matches
by the followers of the more successful team.
I sang it to my opponent
when I was 1-0 up at table football.
​
I had never met him before.
He was bigger than me.
More sensitive than me,
More violent than me!
He threatened to hit me.
I agreed he should.
(To get it over with.)
​
He did.
​
It hurt. He messed up my face.
Dazed. I continued the game.
I beat him 10-0.
He agreed he was useless,
and apologised for acting in haste.
