Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one. The patient replies: "Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin race, Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my airm." Charles is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The patient responds: "Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat an we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit." Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: "Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle." Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and asks "Is this a psychiatric ward?" "No," replies the doctor, "this is the serious Burns unit."

Hmmm....to club chairman and owners/directors and shareholders it's about revenue but that's not what it's about at all. It's about the glory and the glory is in winning competitions such as the FA Cup. And with those successes should come the financial rewards.

Quite so Mac. I'm orf to get my gun. Damned rugger buggers will rue the day.

Our you indulging in some afters? This is the football thread isn't it? Get to the Rugby v Football thread if you want to argue about the pros and cons of the two sports. Sin bin for Declan and a red card for you Matthew.

Typical Tottenham conceding at the end. Well played Leeds though.

Blimey, I saw then down the Half Moon in Herne Hill about a thousand years ago. Enjoy.

Get the bus up to Denmark Hill Station and the train from there to Clapham High St. Sorted!

I was very fond of the Ys album though I seem to have lost my copy but blimey a triple album!!! Isn't that over egging the pudding somewhat?

Fair play. That was a fully deserved red card if ever I've seen one.

I thought that too. Ledley was a little off the pace but then it was Bassong who gave away the penalty. I was gutted we didn't come away with at least a point, though I guess I was a little over-confident that we'd do so after Liverpool's recent woes. I'm predicting a Spurs win and to be fair we should beat Leeds in a canter but anything can happen in the FA Cup as was proved in the last round. Who'd have thought Reading would have turned over Liverpool and Leeds knocking out Man Utd.

How lovely of you to come on here. I did say to you the other day you were famous around these parts. Got some lovely fresh peppers and Scotch bonnet the other day.(tu)

Arse!

Blimey! I'm impressed Jimmy. Crystal Palace and Tottenham juniors (early 70s but only briefly at both), represented South London schools (all in my teens) quit playing for a while when I discovered sex and drugs and rock n' roll at 15, Sunday pub football later on and had to quit at 28. Miss it badly but don't miss the getting up on a freezing cold Sunday morning to play with a hangover and lack of sleep as a lot of us did in those days.

Sol Campbell moves to Arsenal for some peace and quiet.

She Bangs The Drums - Stone Roses.

Nice of the Arsenal fans to cheer when Mark Davies was carried off after Gallas's horrendous tackle. That's really sporting of them don't you think? Cunts! Spurs had a perfectly good goal disallowed and two possible penalty appeals turned down last night which for me changed the course of the game. I thought Howard Webb had a bit of a shocker and showed himself to be a homer. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Hmmmmm.... nice.
