Many reasons were given
But none totally convince
As to why Pompey
Almost ceased to exist.
Was it Redknapp's expensive binges
Backed by Gaydamak?
Or was it all hungover
From the reign of Mandaric?
I have a simple solution
It occurred at Wembley
Almost exactly half an hour
After a goal off Kanu's knee.
Something had to give
Something came a cropper:
Big David Nugent
Subbed on for John Utaka.
