I would have thought they would have referred to Tottenham as The Cocks.

how about the revolting cocks ?

got that lot down to a tee, great tune for an anthem btw !

mind you i can think of loads of other names for that lot i could tell your work colleagues about.

i hope that the Bombers quiet literally beat the living crap out of the Pies in the second half !

btw in your opinions who are the most hated team in the AFL ?

but by god he's got guts !

Actually, a majority of his critics claim his lack of said guts is exactly what is preventing him from winning.

Myself, I have a specific reason for keeping my fingers crossed...

yes, i would in most circumstances hope that the 9/1 each way at a quarter of the odds first 6 places bet i put on Woods at the start of the tournament would have a fairly decent chance of paying a very nice dividend. but i'd be glad to see part of that go down the pan a long with the little shits petulance and smirking smile, in order to see Lee who is an Englishmen lift the claret jug.

don't tell me you have a wager on to ?

a few years back i started a thread " Lee Westwood for a major " which is now archived.

i happened to believe the guy had what it takes and had put the hard graft in to better his game.

there were of course the usual amount of scoffers and knockers that had their say and dismissed my claim.

a few close calls and finishes down the line, Lee now stands one round away from reaching that ultimate prize. he may win and then again he may not, but by god he's got guts !

oh dear, well that's buggered what was a good thread started by smokie.

sorry mate, but that's me out of here !

would someone please clarify for me that it is in actual fact Australia that we are playing and not an overseas combined Irish and Scottish xi.

have a feeling Clarke is going to be there all afternoon and notch up a very big score.

the guys class with a bat in his hand, i just hope i'm wrong !

I think you might be right. Either way, the wicket has a draw written all over it.

strewth mate, well blow me down with a pint of Castlemaine xxxx pish.

no way was Hughes out there !

still i'm not complaining, now let me be wrong about Clarke, please.

Haha I can feel the tension from here....if the Ausdies win I will fall off my barstool laughing.....if England win I will smile smugly.

I love being a sweaty sometimes!

just be sure you wash around the cracks and give yourself a good airing.

you know the opposite to how your wallet must feel.

wow ! what a hornet's nest that has rattled up for the 2nd test at Lords on Thursday.

just a shame Billy the trumpeter wasn't granted permission into the ground and the same applies for the home of cricket.

come on Cook you are missing a trick here, get Anderson on.

the balls in it's 64th over and should start to reverse.

get Haddin out while you still have the chance, he's a dangerous player and won't go down without a fight.

what did i say about Haddin yesterday ?

Joe Root you little beauty !

Aussies on Nelson 111 - 1 and he takes a wicket just before tea.

all the pressure on the Aussie captain now, skittle him out cheaply and i reckon we have a good chance of taking this first test by the skin of our teeth.

^ erm............ explain that one Bookman ?

two Englishmen batting alternatively depending on when one gets out against 11 Aussies who have spent 1 and a half days in the field so far.

apart from Ed Cowan that is who has spent most of his time in the pavilion, whether batting or fielding.

must have had one of those dodgy Nottingham Indian curries !

hey what's happened to this function BTW the text is all funny and i can't access the smiley thing a me jig ?

Any chance ...

.

None whatsoever.....its blue skies all the way!

Well smokie36 ... your a little Ray of Sunshine aren't you ...

So nothin' but Blue Skies do you see ...

.

30 degrees and blue skies all the way is the forecast for today.

i have a lot of time for Michael Holding and in this case i tend to agree with what he has to say.

he should have walked in accordance with the way and in the spirit of how the game should be played.

sorry to bring the tone down !

has Carmine started doing his Sir Les Patterson impressions yet Smokie ?

now the ashes begins !

Watson out, 19 for 1............. let's see what you got Aussies against a world class bowling attack ?

Bairstow will do his old man, his county and country proud on his ashes debut, mark my words.

so glad and ever so proud to have the blood of a Yorkshire man, my grand dad and a Yorkshire lass, my mother, running through my veins !

key word for today's game i think is " intensity "

first off i don't rate this Wallabies side one bit ! a few good individuals, but a distance from past great Aussie sides and you'd probably get most Aussies who know a thing or to about Rugby to admit it to.

the LIons have to go out there today and be in their faces for the whole 80 mins. know what it means to pull on the jersey, fight for every ball, be first at the breakdown, turn the screw in the scrums, hassle at the line out, don't give them a second with the ball and most of all play with a passion the way the game is meant to be played, just like their fore fathers and compatriots have done before them.

on the issue of selections, i think Gatland has made the right call !, but that's just my personal opinion. you can't just pick someone because of their reputation, rely on form and go with a gut instinct and that is what he has done.

personally i feel for Justin Tipuric not getting a call up.

oh and one thing to bare in mind the ref is a frog.

look, screw what that lanky moaning git gets up to.

i'm more interested in trying to get one last look up Sabine Lisicki's mini skirt tomorrow !

right that's breakfast done !

2 toast, egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, hash brown, oh and a black coffee.

jealous ? good !

now down the pub for a light appetizer of a couple or 3,4,5.............. pints of the black stuff while i watch our Lions give the wimpish Wallabies a massive lesson in how to play Rugby. (coached by a Kiwi for good measure)
