Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

Or close the wall up with our Derby dead.

In peace there's nothing so becomes a man

As modest stillness and humility:

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,

Then imitate the action of the tiger;

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,

Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;

Let pry through the portage of the head

Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it

As fearfully as doth a galled rock

O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,

Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.

Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,

Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit

To his full height. On, on, you noblest of Derby

Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!

Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,

Have in these parts from morn till even fought

And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:

Dishonour not your mothers; now attest

That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.

Be copy now to men of grosser blood,

And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,

Whose limbs were made in Derby, show us here

The mettle of your pasture; let us swear

That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;

For there is none of you so mean and base,

That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:

Follow your spirit, and upon this charge

Cry 'God for Nigel, Derby and B4

I'm finding it hard to motivate myself for this one. A win gets us nothing but bragging rights over a team is more poo than us, and a loss will change precisely nothing.

We may as well be playing Coventry.

Classic... I like it. Just finished painting the fence in the sunshine, listening to the Smiths, now i am settling in with a couple of beers on the deck getting ready for the invasion of French Rams, predicted to begin around 14:00, its going to be a long long evening...... But with the right result it will almost make up for the debacle in February. Shame we are not there, but, so long as Mr Glick has a good time then thats ok with me...! (thanks for absolutely nothing Tom)

Come on you Supers..!

I was surrounded by florests at work today. I could have crumbled under the barrage - but nah, I wasn't standing for any first class tripe off that lot so I soon shut em up. Black & white & proud of it!

Come on you rams, don't let us down!
