Hurray for Barnsley

Congratulation to Barnsley on whatever it is that they do!

Having a dig at Mac about his coke habit is one thing but I think you might have gone too far with that one Jack.

As far as I know, that's a very perceptive statement.

Ian McMillan, Barnsley football club's poet-in-residence . . . : "It's a cliche that it's grim up north. It's not been grim up north since they did away with industry in 1984.
"Leeds is full of footballers shopping in Harvey Nichols, Sheffield is full of men in hard hats building things and Barnsley is the new Tuscany."

First the Mancs get turned over by Portsmouth then Liverpool give the Geordies a good kicking and to cap it all the Chavs get dumped out by Barnsley! Happy days.

Apparently, a team referring to itself by the unlikely name of "Cardiff" has defeated Barnsley at whatever sport it is that they play.

Oh yes, Cardiff, the "capital" of the nation "Whales". 14th largest settlement in the United Kingdom and home to the talking shop of the Welsh peoples, the Welsh national assembly. Cardiff and the other Welsh town of Swansea both boast football teams that play in the English football league, even though there is a separate Welsh football league, with such teams as Yakieda FC and Haquqcack (sound of flem being spat out) Utd. Strangely, both Scottish Premier league teams Celtic and Rangers have often made it clear that they want to join the English premiership, but have been refused while two Taffie teams play in the English league, with Cardiff now in the FA Cup Final.

Cardiff is also home to a rift in the time and space where strange alien beings appear and wreak havoc on the population of Cardiff, requiring the "camp" team of Torchshit to save the universe and have male-on-male relations.

Cardiff, what a great city. Apologies to any Taffs, but I am an English bastard.
