On closer examination most of what I post is absolute rubbish and carries little opinion regarding Accrington Stanley, but that is what I have done for years now in spite of a few anti-Yonmon whinges now and again. But the Forum provides a sounding board for the inconsequential ramblings of this avid, though ancient Stanley fan who really misses the daily pertinent posts from Macca...and the witty and apposite asides from Tin Monkey, and others who used to inform and entertain us on the Forum.

This is purely my opinion...and, in my opinion, opinions can be expressed without there being a single whinge to be heard, or derogatory labels being attached to other users. But then I suppose the chances of this being the case, are little but a forlorn hope !..

KTF.

Listen ere Lord Stiff.
Welsh people aren't the brightest, but when the chips are down (the death of the mining industry, chasing an egg around Cardiff Arms Park, or when Ryhdian was in the final of X factor) they don't half develop this insane self belief.
I think I'd rather face zulus at Rourkes Drifft than Newport next weekend.

For all the scaredy pants shaking over the thought of battle with the fiery Welsh,
I submit my own version of 'Men of Harlech' to help stiffen their sinews.

Men of Stanley, on to glory!
Fresh from victory o'er Crawley
Welshmen all will hear our story
Stanley never yield!
Hear our drums a pounding
Down the valleys sounding
All will fall, to our football
Our rise has been astounding
Loyalty to our team sustains us
Can't you see the prize awaits us
Up the league momentum takes us
Stanley - above all.

Unfortunately my Lords such valour seems to be a commodity in short supply in the Principality these days and unlike the Ill-disciplined Zulus the Reds have little to flee from on the barren wastelands of Rodney Parade !.

nb.. In no way should my apparent disparaging of the Zulu race be seen as having any connection to those denigrating Soccer chants reported elsewhere on the Forum !. :s_whistl:
